Hardware Setup Hardware Setup If your motherboard has already been installed in your computer you may still need to refer to this chapter if you plan to upgrade your system's hardware. This motherboard is electrostatic sensitive. Do not touch without wearing proper safety gadget and make sure to disconnect the power cable from the power source before performing any work on your motherboard.
Hardware Setup To install your DDR Modules please follow these steps below: Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. The DDR Modules has only one notch at the center of module. The DDR module will only fit in the right position.

Hardware Setup PW 1/3 The power cord leading from the system's power supply to the external power source must be the very last part connected when assembling a system. The ATX power supply provides a single 20-pin connector interface, which incorporates standard +/-5V, +/-12V, optional 3.3V and Soft-power signals.
Page 11
Hardware Setup PWR-SW (Over-ride Power Button Connector) The power button on the ATX chassis can be used as a normal power switch as well as a device to activate Advanced Power Management Suspend mode. This mode is used for saving electricity when the computer is not in use for long periods of time. The Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function in BIOS's Power Management Setup menu must be set to [Delay 4 Sec.] to activate this function.
Page 12
Hardware Setup FDD1 The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector that supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. It is connected to a floppy disk drive of 34 pins. IDE 1/2 The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra ATA66/100 controller that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra ATA66/100 function.

Hardware Setup Definition 1-2 Normal (default) 2-3 Clear CMOS Data There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep the data and system configuration. To clear the contents of the CMOS, please follow the steps below.

Hardware Setup function, select a hot key of your choice from BIOS's Power On Management screen -> Wake Up Events -> USB Resume from S3 option. You must also set this jumper's cap to pins 2-3 to use this function. FAN1/2/3 The board's hardware management is able to detect the CPU and system fan speed in rpm (revolutions per minute).

Hardware Setup CN5 WOL Enable the Wake Up On LAN selection in BIOS's Power Management Menu to use this function. The capability to remotely manage PCs on a network is a significant factor in reducing administrative and ownership costs. Magic Packet technology is designed to give WOL capability to LAN controller.
Page 16
Hardware Setup CN24 Front Audio This connector gives you the option of a front-panel audio-jack cable ext. to be plugged into a special custom-designed system case. Simply remove the two jumper caps at pin [5-6] and [9-10] then plug it into the (optional) cable ext. connector. Pin [5-6] and [9-10] are shorted (default) to enable the back-panel audio function.
Page 17
Hardware Setup CN13 SDIF This connector must be connected to a SDIF bracket. This will allow you to use the SDIF function.
BIOS Setup Program BIOS Setup Program Phoenix-Award BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it can retain the setup information even when the power is turned off. To enter the Phoenix-Award BIOS setup program: Press Delete when you Power on or Reboot the computer system.
BIOS Setup Program Date/Time Set the date and time of the system. Do not skip this function as all of your timed events such as power management, saving files, etc are based on this timer. IDE (Channel 0/1/2/3; Master/Slave) This category identifies up to IDE hard disk drives that have been installed in the computer.
Page 20
BIOS Setup Program Quick Power On Self Test Enable this function to reduce the amount of time required to run the POST (Power On Self Test). BIOS will save time by skipping some items during POST. It is recommended that you disable this setting. Discovering a problem during boot up is better than loosing data during your work.
BIOS Setup Program APIC Mode This item can enable or disable the APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller). Due to compliance to PC2001 design guide, the system is able to run in APIC mode. Enabling APIC mode will expand available IRQs resources for the system.
BIOS Setup Program overclocking your system. So, if you hit a snag while overclocking, try increasing the CAS latency time. Bank Interleave This feature enables you to set the interleave mode of the DRAM interface. Interleaving allows banks of SDRAM to alternate their refresh and access cycles. One bank will undergo its refresh cycle while another is being accessed.
Page 23
BIOS Setup Program Available options ranges from 32MB to 256MB. This is a dynamic memory allocation in that the AGP card will only use the amount of memory that it needs. The remaining unused memory is also available for system usage. AGP 2.0 Mode Allows you to control the type of AGP used: 1X, 2X, and 4X, depending on the specs supported by your motherboard.
BIOS Setup Program System BIOS Cacheable Enabling this function allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, which results in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. It is advisable to leave it in default setting. Caching the system BIOS results in better performance than shadowing the system BIOS.

BIOS Setup Program each IDE device that the internal PCI IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device. Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA Ultra DMA implementation is possible only if your IDE device supports it and your operating environment contains a DMA driver.
BIOS Setup Program Onboard Serial Port 1/2 Select an address and corresponding interrupt for the first and second serial ports. Available options are 3F8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, Disabled, and Auto. Onboard Parallel Port Select a logical LPT port address and corresponding interrupt for the physical parallel port.
BIOS Setup Program Video Off Option This setting allows you to select the power-saving modes during which the monitor goes blank. Video Off Method This function serves as both a screen saver and power saver for monitors. See the next function, Video Off After, for setting the video timer.
Page 28
BIOS Setup Program Delay Prior to Thermal It allows you to determine when the Pentium 4's Thermal Monitor should be activated in automatic mode after the system boots. For example, with the default value of 16 Minutes, the BIOS activates the Thermal Monitor in automatic mode 16 minutes after the system starts booting up.
BIOS Setup Program turn off the computer. IRQs Activity Monitoring This feature allows you to monitor a list of IRQ, Interrupt ReQuests. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur.
BIOS Setup Program PCI/VGA Palette Snoop This option is only useful if you use an MPEG card or an add-on card that makes use of the graphics card's Feature Connector. It corrects incorrect colour reproduction by "snooping" into the graphics card's framebuffer memory and modifying (synchronizing) the information delivered from the graphics card's Feature Connector to the MPEG or add-on card.

BIOS Setup Program CPU Host/AGP/PCI Clock Allows you to set the frequency of CPU, AGP and PCI Options: Default, 100/60/33MHz, 105/70/35MHz, 110/73/37MHz and 115/76/38 MHz. Load Fail-Safe Defaults To avoid errors, this option allows you to recover the original defaults of BIOS. In fact, this is the first skill you should know when you try to set other defaults of BIOS.
