This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with instructions contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio and television communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- REORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA
- INCREASE THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RECEIVER
- CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM
THAT OF THE RECEIVER
- CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED AUDIO/TELEVISION TECHNICIAN
NOTE: Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class B
requirements, or using an unshielded peripheral data cable, could also result in
harmful interference to radio or television reception.
The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.
To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is
necessary to use shielded I/O cables.

Please refer to the following steps to install the CPU.
1. Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord before installing the
CPU. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the
lever up to a 90 degree angle.
2. Look for the gold arrow. The gold arrow should point towards the lever pivot.
The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation.
2. If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded
into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the
correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your
mainboard.

4. Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU
is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with
your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is
properly and completely embedded into the socket.
5. Position the CPU cooler set onto the CPU.

Starting SetupStarting Setup
Starting Setup
Starting SetupStarting Setup
The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the computer. The BIOS
reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking
out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating
system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating
system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup Program can be activated :
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at
the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test )

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The difference
between them are:
Supervisor Password : You can enter the Setup Program and change
the options of the setup menus.
User Password : You can enter the Setup Program but can not
change the options of the setup menus.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the

Once the password is disabled, the system will reset and you can enter the Setup
Program freely.
When a password is enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter
setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any setting of your system
configuration.
In addition, when a password is enabled, you can require the BIOS to request a password
every time your system is rebooted. This would further prevent unauthorized use of
your computer.
The password requirement is defined by the Security Option of the BIOS Features Setup
Menu. If the Security Option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at
resetting and at entering setup. If the option is set to “Setup”, the prompt only appears
when you try to enter setup.
