AthlonTM Processors
The AMD AthlonTMis a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integratedL2 cache, which is powerful enough to support the bandwidth requirements of alarge range of applications, hardware, graphics, and memory technologies. Theseprocessors implement advanced design techniques such as:
Socket A (PGA 462)
200/266/333/400MHz system interface based on the Alpha EV6 bus protocol.
Socket A is the name for AMDs new socketed interface designed to support AMDAthlonTMprocessors. This innovation is made possible by integrating the L2 cachememory on chip with the processor. Socket A will help enable smaller enclosures,and ultimately result in a wider variety of solutions in the market.
The AthlonTMprocessors in the Socket A format continue to deliver the ultimateperformance for cutting-edge applications. They bring to desktop systems runningindustry-standard x86 software superscalar RISC performance. Being provided inthe Socket A format they are the worlds most powerful x86 processors. They easilydeliver the highest integer, floating-point, and 3D multimedia performance forapplications running on x86 platforms around.
It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200/266/333/400MHz front sidesystem bus, and enhanced 3DNow! technology. The AMD AthlonTMprocessor istargeted at the performance segment, and as such will have more cache memory andhigher clock speeds.

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
The AGP slot on the board is compliant with the new AGP 3.0 specification. Thisnew specification enhances the functionality of the original AGP specification byallowing 8X data transfers ( 8 data samples per clock)resulting in maximum band-width of 2.1GB/s. In addition, it defines 1.5 volt power supply operation. Complyingwith this specification, this board supports external AGP-8X/4X cards with FastWrite Transactions. Only 1.5V AGP cards are supported.
Ultra ATA/66/100/133
This mainboardprovides two independent ATA133 IDE controllers, supportingstandard programmable input/output (PIO)and Direct Memory Access (DMA)mode operations, as well as UltraDMA-133/100/66/33 standards for a maximum datatransfer rate of 133MB/sec per channel.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operationand status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
LAN (Optional)
This mainboard is optionally mounted with a LAN chipset. It allows the mainboard toconnect to a local area network by means of a network hub.
Serial ATA
The evolutionary serial ATA interface replaces the standard parallel ATA physicalstorage interface. The serial ATA specification provides scalability and allowsfuture enhancements to the computing platform. Serial technology overcomesperformance limits of parallel interface architecture, meeting the escalating need forfaster data throughput in servers and storage devices.
Serial ATA is completely software compatible with parallel ATA, requiring nomodification to your operating system. The serial ATAinterface cable requires lowervoltages and uses smaller cable connectors, providing ease of installation. You caneasily upgrade storage devices that are compatible with the serial ATA interfacespecification.

Mainboard Form-Factor
This board is designed with ATX form factor - the latest industry standard forchassis design. The ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration forthe power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from theexpansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines adouble height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host awide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined,allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output,joystick, modem, LAN, audio, etc.)to systems. This will help systems integratorsdifferentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.
By integrating more I/O down onto the board and better positioning the hard
drive and floppy connectors, material cost of cables and add-in cards arereduced.
By reducing the number of cables and components in the system, manufac-
turing time and inventory holding costs are reduced and reliability willincrease.
By using an optimized power supply, it's possible to reduce cooling costs
and lower acoustical noise. An ATX power supply, which has a side-mounted fan, allows direct cooling of the processor and add-in cards making
a secondary fan or active heatsink unnecessary in most system applications.

Power-On/Off (Remote)
This board has a 20-pin ATX power supply connector (Figure 4). For powersupplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to themainboard front panel PW_ON connector for the computer power On/Off button.This board has been designed with Soft Off" function. You can turn off the systemin two ways: by pressing the front panel power On/Off button or using the "SoftOff" function that can be controlled by anoperating system such as Windows®XP/
ME/2000/98.
Note:For maintaining the DDR SDRAM power during STR (ACPIS3) function, it is
strongly recommended to use power supplies that have a +5VSB current of (>=) 2A. Please check the 5VSBs specification printed on the power supplysouter case.
Note:The board requires a minimum of 250 Watt power supply to operate. Your
system configuration (amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) mayexceed this minimum power requirement. Toensure that adequate power isprovided, use a 300 Watt (or higher) power supply.
I/O Shield Connector
The board is equipped with an I/O back panel (Figure 3). Ensure that your computercase has the appropriate I/O cutout.

3-7 CPU Overheating Protection
This mainboard is equipped with CPU Overheating Protection. It will automati-cally remove power to shutdown the system when CPU temperature reachesapproximately 110°C. This is to prevent long term damage to the CPU fromoverheating. When this happens, the speaker produces a sustained beep soundand the system will not be able to power on. This protection is designedthrough hardware and no BIOS setup is required.
To power on your system again,
Step 1:Unplug the ATX power cord (or turn off the ATX power supply
switch)
Step 2:Wait a few minutes for the CPU to cool.
Step 3:Check that the CPU heatsink and cooling fan assembly is properly
installed. Be careful when touching the heatsink as it may be hot.
Step 4:Plug back the ATX power cord (or turn on the ATX power supply
switch)and power -on the system.
If the beeping sound persists, repeat Step 1 to remove the power source.
Note:The CPU Overheating Protection will function only if the CPU
is designed with an internal thermal diode.AMD Athlon XPor later CPUs is equipped with internal thermal diode.

BIOS SETUP
Main Menu
The ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user to modify thebasic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data is stored ina battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power is turnedoff. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unlessthere is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or adevice is added.It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail causing CMOS data loss. If this happensyou will need install a new CMOS battery and reconfigure your BIOS settings.
The BIOS setup screen and description are for reference only, and may
not exactly match what you see on your screen. The contents of BIOS aresubject to change without notice. Please visit our website for updates.
Toenter the Setup Program :
Power on the computer and press the <Del> key during the POST (Power On SelfTest). The BIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY opens.

How to Reinstall Windows in 2 Minutes
This chapter guides you how to setup your computer properly and, ifnecessary, reinstall Windowsin 2 minutes. Ghostprovides different
methods to complete this task. The following two sections explain how tocreate an emergency Recover Floppyand Recover CD:
Emergency Recover Floppy
Divide a hard disk into two partitions. The first partition is to store theoperating system and application programs. The second partition is to backup the operating system and data. The size of the partition can bedetermined according to the backup requirements. For example, theWindowsoperating system needs 200MB of hard disk space, Pluscomplete Office programs require 360MB. The remaining space can beused to store data.
After installing Windows, useGhostto create a backup area for the systemand to store the file (Image file) in drive D. The file is named Original.gho.Then, create a recover floppy disk containing:
Bootable files (Command.com, Io.sys, and MSDOS.SYS )
Config.sys (configuration setup file)
Autoexec.bat (auto-execution batch file)
Ghost.exe (Ghost execution file)
There are two ways to create the content of the recover floppy forrestoring:
(1)Toload Windowsautomatically after booting, store the Autoexec.
bat file with a command line:Ghost.exe clone, mode=pload, src=d:\original.gho:2,dst=1:1 -fx -sure -rbCommand Description: Runs the restore function automatically with
the Image File. Stored in drive D. After execution, it will exit Ghostand boots the system.
Refer to the [Introducing Ghosts Functions] for details.

(2)After booting, the screen displays the Menu. Select Backup or Restore:
Since the user may install other applications in the future, he/she mayalter Autoexec.batfile to back up or restore the user-defined Imagefile as follows:

backup file (Recent.gho) is restored, skipping the installationand setup of application programs.
For description of related parameters, refer to [Introducing GhostsFunctions].
For more information about menu design, refer to Config.sys andAutoexec.bat under /Menu in the CD. You can also create a backup CDcontaining Ghost.exe and these two files.

Recover CD
The following is a simple guide to create a recover CD:
1.First, create a recover floppy disk contains the following with anycopy program such as Easy CD Create (Note 2) :
2.Write the backup image file (original.gho) of the entire hard disk orpartition into the recover CD. Use the Recover CD to boot up thesystem and restore the backup files automatically.
For description of related parameters, refer to [Introducing GhostsFunctions].
Note:For more details about copy the creation program and method to create a
recover CD, please refer to the releated software and its associatedoperating manual.
Note:Ghost may be executed in interactive or in batch mode. Most of the Ghost
switches are used to assist in batch mode operation. Tolist switches, typeghost.exe -h.
