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 before working on the motherboard and its components.
• Static Electricity
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 . A static discharge sufficiently strong enough to damage computer components is not perceptible by a human. 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 connected to a natural earth ground.
2. T ouch 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 gold­colored 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 (CMOS RAM) on your motherboard should not require replacement for at least five years, probably much longer . In picture 2.2 (page 6), it is located near the lower left corner . Incorrect computer time and/or loss of time may indicate a weak motherboard batttery .
2 INTRODUCTION
Please replace your battery only with the same type, or a similar type recommended by the battery manufacturer. If the battery is replaced incorrectly, there is a risk of a short circuit or explosion. Used batteries should disposed of in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc­tions and local environmental regulations.
••
• Electric Screwdrivers
••
To reduce the risk of damage to the motherboard due to excessive torque, avoid setting electric screwdrivers above 7.5 kg/cm.

2.3 Jumper Setup
2.3.1 66/100/133 MHz System Configuration
The JP4 Jumper allows you to set the FSB (Front Side Bus) to 66/100/133MHz configuration. When the Jumper is set to “Auto”, the freqency range depends on your CPU type. When you set the FSB to 66MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 66MHz to 99MHz through “CPU Host/PCI Clock” of “Frequency/V oltage Control” in the BIOS Setup menu. When you set the FSB to 100MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 100MHz to 132MHz . When you set the FSB to 133MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 133MHz to 166MHz .

2.3.3 Onboard Audio Setting (JP2 ON-BOARD AUDIO)
The onboard audio CODEC can be enabled or disabled via this jumper to use an external CNR card. Disable the onboard audio CODEC, if you want to use a PCI Sound Card or an CNR Audio Card. When you install a CNR card, remember that the onboard audio CODEC uses the primary channel; therefore, for the onboard CODEC to function, you must set the CNR card to be secondary.

2.4 Connector Description
2.4.1 Primary/Secondary IDE Connectors
This motherboard supports two 40-pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1 (primary channel) and IDE2 (secondary channel). Each channel supports two IDE devices for 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 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 and the other to “Slave” mode. A Hard Disk Drive, CD ROM Drive or other IDE device can have either setting, depending on device’s jumper setting. Please refer to the device’s manual for more information.
NOTE: The Connectors must be attached to the IDE channels correctly. Make sure that the red stripe on the edge of the ribbon cable (this may be faint and could be a dotted line) is the nearest to PIN 1 (on the left as the motherboard is shown in the picture below).

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. If the CMOS battery fails, this data will be lost. If that happens, please setup your configuration parameters again after replacing the battery. Please refer to Section 1.1, Essential Handling Precautions.
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 the Power On Self T est (POST). During the POST process, pressing the [Del] key allows you to enter the Award BIOS configuration system. The following screen will appear.
In the Award BIOS system, you can use the arrows ( the [Enter] key to enter the sub-menu. The following keys help you navigate within Setup. [Esc] Main Menu: Quit and do not save changes to CMOS RAM
Other pages: Exit the current page and return to the Main Menu [PgUp] Increase the numeric value or make changes [PgDn] Decrease the numeric value or make changes

Press [Enter] to enter the sub menu.
28 BIOS SETUP
• IDE HDD Auto-Detection: Detect the HDD on this channel. If the detection is successful, it fills the remaining fields in this menu.
• IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave: We recommand that you select “AUTO” for all drives. The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications during POST while the system boots. Y ou can also choose “Manual” to set the specifications 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 transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address. This significantly improves 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 the
formatted disk given by a disk-checking program.
• Cylinder: Number of cylinders
• Head: Number of heads
BIOS SETUP 29
• Precomp: Write precompensation cylinder
• Landing Zone: Landing zone
• Sector: Number of sectors

During POST , the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware error . Y ou 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.
30 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 setup system features according to your preferences.
•
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. Y ou 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 31
• CPU Internal Cache/External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). 486-type CPUs and higher 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 start the ECC function for L2 Cache.
• Processor Number Feature
Make the CPU Serial number function active. (Only in PIII CPU)
• Quick Power On Self Test
Select “Enabled” to reduce the amount of time required to run 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.
32 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)
When the Typematic Rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at which character repeats) when you hold down a key of “6”, “8”, “10”, “12”, “15”, “20”, “24” or “30” characters per second.
•
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the Typematic Delay setting is enabled, you can select a typematic delay (the delay before key strokes begin to repeat) of “250”, “500”, “750” or “1000” milliseconds.
•
Security Option
If you have set a password, you can select whether the password is required while the system boots, or only when you enter “Setup”.
•
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB
Select “OS2” only if you are running OS/2 operating system with more than 64 MB of RAM on your system.
•
Report No FDD For WIN 95
Select “Yes” to release IRQ6 when there is no floppy disk drive, for compatibility with WIN 95
logo certification.
•
Delay For HDD (Secs)
Generally , you can set this field as “0”, but for some old Hard Disk Drives, you may need to
increase the delay time for BIOS to detect what type it is.
BIOS SETUP 33
3.5 Advanced Chipset Features
This option will change the values of the chipset registers and the system setting will alter . Do not change any values if you are unfamiliar with the chipset.
•
SDRAM CAS Latency Time
This controls the SDRAM performance: default is AUTO. BIOS will auto detect the SPD information of the Memory Module and choose the proper setting.
•
SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
Select the number of SDRAM clocks used per access cycle. Settings available are 7/9 or 5/7.
•
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This controls the latency between SDRAM active command and the read/write command. Leave it on the default setting.
•
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
This controls the idle clocks after issuing a precharge command to SDRAM. Leave it on the default setting.
•
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting “Enabled” allows caching of the system BIOS. This action can increase system performance.
34 BIOS SETUP
•
Video BIOS Cacheable
Selecting “Enabled” allows caching of the video BIOS. This action can increase system performance.
•
Memory Hole At 15M-16M
Enabling this feature reserves memory address space (between 15 and 16MB) to ISA expansion cards that specifically require this setting. This makes between 15 and 16MB of memory unavailable to the system. Expansion cards can only access memory up to 16MB. The default setting is “Disabled”.
•
CPU Latency Timer
The option determines the way that 815 does with the deferrable processor cycle.
•
Delayed Transaction
PCI access speed is faster than ISA. So PCI will release the master bus to the ISA interface for accessing data. Then the master bus control will go back to PCI again.
•
Display Cache Frequency
100/133 MHz depends on your AIMM Card.
•
AGP Graphics Aperture Size
The Aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Access to the aperture range is forwarded to AGP without translation. Available options are 64MB and 32MB.
•
System Memory Frequency
Default is Auto. When the CPU is 133MHz you can choose 100/133MHz, but when the
CPU is 100MHz, only the 100MHz selection will work.
•
On-Chip Video Window Size
You can select the size of mapped memory for the VGA/AGP driver to use. The choices: “64MB”, “32MB”, and “Disabled”.
Onboard Display Cache Setting (Only for AIMM)
This field is displayed only if there is AIMM Installed.
•
Initial Display Cache
Select “Enabled” if you want to use the onboard display cache. The suggested selection is “Enabled”.
BIOS SETUP 35
• CAS# Latency
Set the CAS Latency of the onboard display cache memory.
• Paging Mode Control
Open or close the paging mode control of the onboard display cache memory.
• RAS-to-CAS Override
The default value, “by CAS# LT”, will let this field have the same configuration as the value of the field “CAS# Latency”. Another option, “Override (2)”, will set the value of this field to 2.
• RAS# Timing
Set the RAS timing of the onboard display cache memory.
• RAS# Precharge Timing
Set the RAS precharge timing of the onboard display cache memory .
36 BIOS SETUP
3.6 Integrated Peripherals
This option will load the default BIOS values. Choose the option and the following message appears.
• •
• On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE

The chipset contains a PCI IDE interface which supports two IDE channels. Select “Enabled” to activate the first and/or second IDE interface. Select “Disabled” to deactivate this interface when you install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface.
• •
• IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
• •
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-5) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 5 provide successively increased performance. In “Auto” mode, the system automatically determines the best one for each device.
BIOS SETUP 37
• •
• IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
• •
Ultra DMA/33/66/100 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive can support it, and if the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or higher or a third-party IDE bus master driver).

APPENDIX 61
VLANS on PRO/100 Adapters ========================= A VLAN is a logical grouping of network devices put together as a LAN regardless of their physical grouping or collision domains. VLANs let a user see and access only specified network segments. This optimizes network efficiency and maintains security access restrictions. VLANs require special switches that are capable of supporting VLANs. All PRO/100+, PRO/100 S PCI and PRO/1000 adapters currently
support VLANs when attached to a VLAN enabled switch. The PRO/100 VE and VM Desktop Adapters and Network Connections do not support VLANs.
A VLAN offers you the ability to group users and client PCs together into logical workgroups, a critical consideration when connecting clients to servers that are geographically dispersed across the building, campus, or enterprise network. Typically, VLANs consist of a common set of coworkers within the same department but in different locations, a cross-functional team working on a joint project, or a diverse set of users sharing the same network application. Joining workers across the network forms logical working groups. By using VLANs on your network, you can:
- Improve network performance
- Limit broadcast storms
- Improve adds, moves, and changes
- Minimize security problems
- Ease your management task For overview information on Intel VLANs, visit the Intel Networking Web site: http://www.intel.com/network For more specific information, read the white paper on VLANs: http://www.intel.com/network/tech_brief/virtual_lans.htm
