  • Page 14 Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component. 1.Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. 2.Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a component.

  • Page 16 You have to wait for system to successfully boot from operation system (such as Windows or DOS) before the Wake-On-Keyboard/Mouse can take effect. This is because the information of how to support this function must be stored into Super I/O Controller and then you can use it for next power on.

  • Page 23 If your system hangs or fails to boot because of overclocking, simply use JP14 to clear CMOS and restore to the default setting (350MHz when FSB=100MHz; 267MHz when FSB=133.3MHz ).

  • Page 26 The driving capability of new generation chipset is limited due to the lack of a memory buffer (to improve performance). This makes DRAM chip count an important factor to take into consideration when you install DIMMs. Unfortunately, there is no way that the BIOS can identify the correct chip count, you need to calculate the chip count by yourself.
  • Page 27 To identify 2-clock and 4-clock DIMM, you may check if there are traces connected to the golden finger pins 79 and 163 of the SDRAM. If there are traces, the SDRAM is probably 4-clock; otherwise, it is 2-clock. To identify single-side or double-side DIMM, check golden finger pin 114 and pin 129.
