CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Essential Handling Precautions
IMPORTANT. Read this page before unpacking your motherboard!
Power Supply
Be careful! Always ensure that the computer is disconnected from the power supply when working on the motherboard and its components.
Static
Static electricity may cause damage to the delicate integrated circuit chips on your motherboard. Before handling the motherboard outside of its protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge in your body. To avoid this risk, please observe these simple precautions while handling the motherboard and other computer components:
1. If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap. This fits around your wrist and is connected to a natural earth ground.
2. Touch a grounded or anti-static surface, or a metal fixture such as a pipe or the chassis of your system, before touching the motherboard.
3. When you have removed the motherboard from its anti-static packaging, try to hold it only by the edges, without touching any components.
4. Avoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards, and modules with the golden fingers (gold-colored connectors) which plug into the expansion slots.
5. It is safest to handle system components only by their mounting brackets.
6. Keep components which are not connected to the system in the anti-static packaging whenever possible. These precautions help to reduce the risk of static build-up and ensure any static discharge is harmless to your equipment.
Battery Replacement
The battery which holds the system settings memory on your motherboard should not require replacement for at least five years, and probably much longer. In picture 2.2, it is located near the bottom right hand corner.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Page 6
Please replace your battery only with the same type, or a similar type recommended by the manufacturer. If the battery is replaced incorrectly, there is a risk of a short circuit or explosion. Used batteries should disposed of according to the manufacturers instructions.
Electric Screwdrivers
To reduce the risk of damage to the motherboard due to excessive torque, avoid setting electric screwdrivers above 7.5 kg/cm.
1.2 Checklist: Hardware Required for Setup
It is advisable to have all of these items of hardware available before you unpack your motherboard from its anti-static packaging and start building your system.

2.3 CPU (Central Processing Unit) Installation
So far you have familiarized yourself with the handling precautions, checked you have all of the necessary hardware for building your system, inspected the motherboard package contents and looked at the layout of the motherboard. This chapter will take you step by step through the process of installing the different hardware devices onto it.
Caution
1. Remember to always make sure the system power is off before installing or removing any devices.
2. Dont forget the static electricity precautions.
3. Be careful ! Inserting hardware onto your motherboard incorrectly can damage it.
The motherboard has a ZIF Socket 370 which houses the CPU. A fan is necessary for the CPU to prevent overheating. If there is no fan on it, please purchase one before you turn on your system.
WARNING! Be sure that sufficient air circulation is available across the processors passive heatsink. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.
Please follow the steps below to install the CPU:
Step1: To install the CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU in the correct direction as shown below. The picture below is for reference only. You should have a CPU fan to cover the face of the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the sockets lever while holding down the CPU.

Step2:
Next, according to the CPU type you install, set JP15 to short pin1 & pin2 for Intel
®
Celeron
TM
and Pentium ® III FC-PGA series CPU, or set JP15 to short pin2 & pin3 for CYRIX Joshua series CPU. Connect the CPUs fan cable to the CPU-FAN connector indicated on the diagram below. Ensure that the cable is connected correctly! It will be obvious which way it fits.

2.7 Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1-pin IDE)
This motherboard supports two 40-pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1 (primary channel) and IDE2 (secondary channel). Each channel supports two IDE devices, making a total of four devices. Connect your Hard Disk (the main one if you are using more than one) to the Master connector (at the end of the cable) and connect it to the IDE1 (see important note below). If your HDD supports Ultra DMA/66, you must use an 80-wire cable, otherwise the HDD wont be able to reach this speed. If you intend to operate two IDE devices from the same channel, one device must be set to master mode, the other to slave mode. A Hard Disk, CD ROM or other IDE device can have either setting, depending on devices jumper. Please refer to the devices manual for more information.
NOTE:
The Connectors must be attached to the IDE channels the right way round. Make sure that the red stripe on one edge of the ribbon cable (this may be faint and could also be a dotted line) is the nearest to PIN 1 (on the left as the motherboard is shown in the picture below).

This jumper controls the Firmware Hub (FWH) locking function. When set to LOCK, it prevents programming or block erase to the top block of FWH. There are 8 blocks of addressable space controlled by the FWH. The top block (block 7, also called Boot Block) stores some critical codes. To guard against accidents (such as a virus, program bug etc.), we recommend that you lock this block. Even if other blocks were to be erased, you could still recover your system easily by following the 2 steps below:
1. Reboot with DOS (95/98) system boot floppy disk.
2. Reflash BIOS according to section 5.3, Step 5 (Page 61).

CHAPTER 3 BIOS SETUP
3.1 BIOS Setup
Award BIOS has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM, so it can retain the Setup information when the power is turned off. When the battery of CMOS fails, it will cause the data to be lost. If that happens, please set up your configuration parameters again after replacing the battery. Please refer to Section 1.1, Essential Handling Precautions (Page 1).
3.2 The Main Menu
As you turn on or reboot the system, the BIOS is immediately activated. It will read the system configuration information, and check the system through Power On Self Test (POST). During the POST process, press the [Del] key, and you can enter the Award BIOS configuration system. The following screen will appear.
In the Award BIOS system, you can use the arrows (
) to highlight an item, and
press the [Enter] key to enter the sub-menu. The following keys help you navigate in Setup. [Esc] Main Menu: Quit and not save changes into CMOS RAM
Other pages: Exit current page and return to Main Menu [PgUp] Increase the numeric value or make changes [PgDn] Decrease the numeric value or make changes

30 BIOS SETUP
IDE HDD Auto-Detection : Detect the HDD on this channel. If the detection is
successful, it fills the remaining fields on this menu.
IDE Primary / Secondary Master / Slave : We recommand that you select type AUTO
for all drives. The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications during POST (Power On Self Test) while the system boots. You can also choose Manual to set the specifications by yourself. As to None, it means there is no device installed on this IDE channel.
Access Mode : Normal, LBA, Large, or Auto.
- Normal : Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors supported are 1024, 16, and 63 respectively.
-LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, the IDE controller transorms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address. This will significantly improve data transfer rates for drives with more than 1024 cylinders.
- Large : For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024 cylinders.
- Auto : The BIOS automatically determines the optimal access mode.
Capacity : Disk drive capacity. Note that this size is slighty greater than the size of
formatted disk given by a disk-checking program.
Cylinder : Number of cylinders
Head : Number of heads
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Page 35
BIOS SETUP 31
Precomp : Write precompensation cylinder
Landing Zone : Landing zone
Sector : Number of sectors
Drive A / Drive B
Select the correct types of diskette drive(s) installed in the computer.
- None : No diskette drive installed
- 360K, 5.25 in. : 5-1/4 inch standard drive; 360KB
- 1.2M, 5.25 in. : 5-1/4 inch high-density drive; 1.2MB
- 720K, 3.5 in. : 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive; 720KB
- 1.44M, 3.5 in. : 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive; 1.44MB
- 2.88M, 3.5 in. : 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive; 2.88MB
Floppy Mode 3 Support
Supports some particular Japanese floppy drives (3-1/2 inch drive with 1.2MB).
Video
Select the type of primary video subsystem in your computer. The BIOS will detect the correct video type automatically. The BIOS supports a secondary video subsystem, but do not select it in this Setup.
- EGA/VGA : Enhanced Graphics Adapter/Video Graphics Array. For EGA, VGA, SEGA, SVGA or PGA monitor adapters.
- CGA 40 : Color Graphics Adapter, powers up in 40-column mode.
- CGA 80 : Color Graphics Adapter, powers up in 80-column mode.
- MONO : Monochrome adapter, including high resolution.
Halt On
During the Power On Self Test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware error. You can set the BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process. The followings are the selections.
- All Errors : If the BIOS detects any non-fatal errors, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.
- No Errors : POST does not stop for any error.
- All, But Keyboard : If the BIOS detects any non-fatal errors except keyboard, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.

32 BIOS SETUP
- All, But Diskette : If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error except floppy disk drive, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.
- All, But Disk / Key : If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error except floppy disk drive or keyboard, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.
3.4 Advanced BIOS Features
This Advanced BIOS Features option allows you to improve your system performance and set up system features according to your preference.
Virus Warning
When this function is enabled, you will receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then execute an anti-virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects the boot sector only, not the entire hard drive.
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first disable the virus warning.

BIOS SETUP 33
CPU Internal Cache / External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type and up contain internal cache memory. Most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory for even faster access by the CPU. The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not have external cache memory.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking
Select Enabled to make sure the data is accurate.
Quick Power On Self Test
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the Power On Self Test (POST). The Quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable Quick POST. Its better to find a problem during POST than to lose data during your work.
First / Second / Third / Other Boot Device
The original IBM PCs load the DOS operating system from drive A (floppy disk). So, IBM PC-compatible systems are designed to search for an operating system first on drive A, and then on drive C (hard disk). However, the BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the devices in the sequence selected in these fields. In addition to the traditional drives A (Floppy) and C (HDD-0), options include HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, and CD-ROM; plus a SCSI hard drive, a LS/ZIP drive and a LAN drive. If your boot device is not included in the list, you can set the Boot Other Device field to Enabled, and let the system detect the drive automatically.
Swap Floppy Drive
This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting Enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
When you select Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether
they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720KB,
1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40- track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Page 38
34 BIOS SETUP
Boot Up NumLock Status
Toggle between On and Off to control the state of the NumLock key when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations.
Gate A20 Option
Choose Fast (default) or Normal. Fast allows RAM access above 1MB to use the fast Gate A20 line.
Typematic Rate Setting
When this function is disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your system. When this function is enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic delay.
Typematic Rate (Chars / Sec)
