Step 5. Install Expansion Cards WARNING Power off your power supply completely when adding removing any expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. 1. Expansion Card Installation Procedure 1.1 Read the documentation for your expansion card and making any necessary hardware or software setting changes, such as jumpers.
Step 6. Powering on Your Computer 1. Be sure that all switches are off (in some systems, marked with “O”). 2. After finishing all jumper settings and connections, close the system case cover. 3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case.

You have to first exit or shut down your operating system before switching off the power switch. For ATX power supplies, you can press the ATX power switch after exiting or shutting down your operating system. IWILL strongly recommend user to use 400w power supply at least. Hardware Installation...
Chapter 2 BIOS Setup This chapter discusses the PhoenixBIOS Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users modifying the basic system configurations according to their requirements. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

♦ I/O Device Configuration Menu The CPU communicates with external devices such as printers through devices called Input/Output (I/O) ports such as serial and parallel ports. These I/O devices require the use of system resources such as I/O addresses and interrupt lines. If these devices are Plug and Play, either the BIOS can allocate the devices during POST, or the operating system can do it.

Chapter 3 BIOS Flash Upgrade Utility Phoenix Phlash16.exe gives you the ability to update your BIOS from a floppy disk without having to install a new ROM BIOS chip. Phoenix Phlash16.exe is a utility for "flashing" (copying) the BIOS to the Flash ROM installed on your computer from a floppy disk.
Executing Phoenix Phlash16.exe program You can run Phoenix Phlash16.exe program to upgrade your BIOS version. To put the Phlash16.exe program into A:\ To put the BIOS into A:\ Typing the command” A:\Phlash16 BIOSNAME.rom” Upgrade your BIOS completely. Create the Crisis Recovery Diskette If the OEM or dealer from whom you purchased your system has not provided you with one, then you should create a Crisis Recovery Diskette before you use the Phlash utility.
Page 59
Updating the Crisis Recovery Diskette If the BIOS image (BIOS.ROM) changes due to an update or bug fix, you can easily update the Crisis Recovery Diskette. Simply copy the new BIOS.ROM image onto the Crisis Recovery Diskette. No further action is necessary. WARNING For your own protection, be sure your have a Crisis Recovery Diskette ready to use before excuting Phlash.
