Page 16: Dram Installation
JP11&JP12(This function is support in PCB version 3.0 and above) Pin No. Function Open Normal Close For Voodoo3 VGA card 3.4. DRAM INSTALLATION The main board can be installed with 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 MB 168 pins DIMM module DRAM. - Page 17 Hardware Installation Set system speed to Auto: JP8 pin 2-3 short will detect system speed 66/100MHz FSB automatically. DIP SWITCH FREQ. RATIO X 3.5 X 4.5 X 5.5 X 6.5 X 7.5 X 8.5 X 9.5 The CPU is a sensitive electric component and it can be easily damaged by static electricity, so users must keep it away from metal surface when the CPU is installed onto main board.

Page 18: Cmos Rtc & Isa Cfg Cmos Sram
CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM 3.6. There're RTC & CMOS SRAM on board; they have a power supply from external battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC is a REAL- TIME CLOCK device, which provides the DATE & TIME to system. The CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of system configuration, so the system can automatically boot OS every time. -
Page 19: Ide & Atapi Device Installation
Hardware Installation 3.10. IDE & ATAPI DEVICE INSTALLATION There are two-Enhanced PCI IDE ports (IDE1, IDE2) on board, which following ATAPI standard SPEC. Any one IDE port can connected to two ATAPI devices (IDE Hard Disk, CD-ROM & Tape Driver), so total four ATAPI devices can exist in a system. -
Page 20: Entering Setup
BIOS CONFIGURATION Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery- backed CMOS SRAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
