Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components in a static-dissipative surface or static -shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

Chapter 2 Installations
2.1 Memory Module（SODIMM）Installation
The A830 Motherboard provides one 200 -pin SODIMM slot. The socket supports up to 1GB DDR 400 SDRAM. When installing the Memory device, please follow the steps below：
Step.1. Firmly insert the SODIMM at an angle into its slot. Align the SODIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SODIMM matches the break on the slot.
Step.2. Press downwards on SODIMM until the retaining clips at both ends fully snap back in place and the SODIMM is properly seated.
Caution!
The SODIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the development board and the SODIMM if the SODIMM is forced into the slot at the incorrect orientation.

2.2 I/O Equipment Installation
2.5.1 PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse
The Motherboard provides a Mini-DIN connector supports PS/2 interface. Mini -DIN connector supports Keyboard and Mouse through Y cable. Please plug keyboard or mouse directly with Y cable. In other cases, especially in embedded applications, a mouse is not used. Therefore, the BIOS stan dard setup menu allows you to select* “All, But Keyboard” under the “Halt On”. This allows no -keyboard operation in embedded system applications without the system halting under POST.
2.5.2 Audio function
The AC’97 capabilities are provided by a Realtek ALC203 chip supporting digital audio outputs. The onboard ALC203 is a 20 -bit DAC and 18-bit ADC supporting full-duplex AC’97 2.3 compatible stereo audio CODEC for multimedia, including host/soft audio based designs. The audio interface includes two jacks: microph one-in and line-out.
2.5.3 Serial COM ports
One RS-232 ports with 16C550 UART (or compatible) with 16 -byte FIFO buffer. Three optional COM ports support RS -232. When an optional touch -screen is ordered with PPC, serial com port can connect to a serial or an opt ional touch-screen. One optional COM port supports RS232/422/485 choice through jumper setting.
2.5.4 Ethernet interface
The Motherboard is equipped with Realtek RTL8100CL -LF chipset which is fully compliant with the PCI 10/100 Mbps Ethernet protocol compatible . It is supported by major network operating systems. The Ethernet port provides a standard RJ -45 jack.
2.5.5 USB ports
Four USB (Two is optional) device may be connected to the system though an adapter cable. Various adapters may come with USB ports. USB usual ly connect the external system to the system. The USB ports support hot plug -in connection. Whatever, you should install the device driver before you use the device.
2.5.6 External VGA
The Motherboard has one VGA port that can be connected to an external CRT/ L CD monitor. Use VGA cable to connect to an external CRT / LCD monitor, and connect the power cable to the outlet . The VGA connector is a standard 15 -pin D-SUB connector.

2.4 Jumper Setting
A pair of needle -nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales r epresentative before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers.
2.4.1 J5: Clear CMOS
User must make sure the power supply to turn off the power supply before setting Clear CMOS. Users remember to setting jumper back to Normal before turning on the power supply.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS SETUP
3.1 Starting Setup
AwardBIOS™ has a built -in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. The information is stored in battery -backed Flash so that it retains the setup information even if the system power is turned off.
Note:
Values for the various setup items that appear on your own screen (including default values) may not be the same as the values shown on the screen figures in this chapter. This is because the BIOS is revised and updated from time to time. If in doubt, check Winmate website for the latest BIOS versions and related information.
The system BIOS is managing and executing a variety of hardware related functions in the system, including:
System date and time Hardware execution sequence Power management function Allocation of system resources
Page 31

The Motherboard is equipped with the ALC203 is a 20 -bit DAC and 18-bit ADC full-duplex AC'97 2.3 compatible stereo audio CODEC designed for PC multimedia systems, including host/soft audio, and AMR/CNR based designs.
The ALC203 incorporates proprietary converter technology to achieve a high SNR (greater than 100 dB), sensing logics for device reporting, and a Universal Audio Jack® for improved user convenience. The ALC2 03 AC'97 CODEC supports multiple CODEC extensions with independent variable sampling rates and built -in 3D effects. The ALC203 CODEC provides two pairs of stereo outputs with independent volume controls, a mono output, multiple stereo and mono inputs, alon g with flexible mixing, gain, and mute functions to provide a complete integrated audio solution for PCs.
The circuitry of the ALC203 CODEC operates from a 3.3V digital and 3.3V/5V analog power supply with EAPD (External Amplifier Power Down) control for use in notebook and PC applications. The ALC203 integrates a 50mW/20Ohm headset audio amplifier into the CODEC, saving BOM costs. The ALC203 also supports the S/PDIF out function (complies with AC'97 2.3) that offers easy connection of PCs to consumer electronic products, such as AC3 decoders/speakers and mini disk devices.
