Board Size: ATX form factor 305mm x 170mm. Advanced Features: Low EMI -- Spread Spectrum built in - ±0.5% or ±0.3% modulation and automatic clock shut-off of unused PCI/SDRAMS slots to reduce the EMI. Dual Function Power Button -- The system can be one of two states, one is Suspend mode and the other is the Soft-off mode.
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION The Installation PPGA Celeron Processor HOT-681 mainboard provides a 370-pin ZIF Socket370 for Intel PPGA Celeron CPU. The CPU that came with the mainboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.
To connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins. CPU Clock Speed and ratio Selection - JP5 and JP6 HOT-681 mainboard features a clock generator to provide adjustable system clock frequency. JP5 is a 6-pin jumpers which determine the system clock frequency 66 MHz to 133 MHz. and JP6 is a 8-pin jumper which determine the processor clock ratio from 3.5X to 8X.

CPU, Chassis & AGP cooling Fan connectors - JP1, JP3,J12 & J9 The main board provides three onboard 12V cooling fan power connectors. Depending on the fan maker, the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be connected to +12V and black wire should be connected to ground (GND).
MEMORY CONFIGURATION The HOT-681 mainboard provides three 168-pin DIMM sockets that make it possible to install from 8MB up to 256MB of SDRAM. The DIMM socket support 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB 3.3V single- or double- side SDRAM DIMM.
FLASH UTILITY This chapter briefly discusses Award Flash utility in order to guide you through updating your old BIOS. The file name we use to program here is test.bin, and the file name to save old BIOS is 681.OLD. Please note that those file names are not absolute. They are only examples to let you have a more clear understanding of the updating process.
Page 17
If “Yes” To save the old BIOS: 1. Please respond “Y”, and then press the ENTER key. 2. Move the cursor to “File Name to Save: “ 3. Type file name “TEST.BIN”, and then press the ENTER key. (Your old BIOS will be saved in the file name you create.
BIOS SETUP The 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 RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Entering Setup Power on the computer and press <Del>...
The Main Menu Standard CMOS setup This setup page includes all items in a standard compatible BIOS. BIOS features setup This setup page includes all items of Award special enhanced features. Chipset features setup This setup page includes all items of chipset features. Power Management Setup This setup page includes all items of Power Management features.

Supervisor Password Change, set, or disable supervisor password. It allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to Setup. User Password Change, set, or disable user password. It allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to Setup.
Standard CMOS Setup Date The date format is <day>, <month> <date> <year>. Press <F3> to show the calendar. Time The time format is <hour> <minute> <second>. The time is calculated base on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example. 5 p.m. is 17:00:00. Hard Disks Type This item identify the types of hard disk drives that has been installed in the computer.
Page 22
Video This item selects the type of adapter used for the primary system monitor that must matches your video display card and monitor. Although secondary monitors are sup- ported, you do not have to select the type in Setup. Error halt This item determines if the system will stop, when an error is detected during power up.
BIOS Features Setup Virus Warning When this item is enabled, the Award BIOS will monitor the boot sector and partition table of the hard disk drive for any attempt at modification. If an attempt it made, the BIOS will halt the system and the following error message will appear. Afterwards, if necessary, you will be able to run an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any damage is done.

If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt (A, B, C or D) is associ- ated with the connected hard drives. Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual partitions.
Integrated Peripherals IDE HDD Block Mode This item is used to set IDE HDD Block Mode. If your IDE Hard Disk supports block mode, then you can enable this function to speed up the HDD access time. If not, please disable this function to avoid HDD access error.
