Introduction Unpacking the Mainboard & Static Electricity Precautions This Mainboard package contains the following items: 1. This Mainboard and the Device Driver 2. This User’s Guide and AT cables 3. SPDIF/IN cable(optional) 4. Optional Digital Audio ribbon cable/bracket 5. COM2 ribbon cable/bracket The mainboard is easily damaged by static electricity.
Chapter 2 Hardware Configuration Before you install the mainboard into the system chassis, you may find it convenient to first configure the mainboard’s hardware. This chapter describes how to set jumpers and install memory modules, and where to attach components, however, the CMOS jumper is set on the “Clear”...
Chapter 2 CPU Installation CPU Speed Setting This mainboard provides CPU Plug and Play technology, so that there is no need to do the CPU jumper setting. Enter the BIOS Setup and select “CPU Plug and Play Setup”. Choose the correct CPU speed to match your CPU installed.
Hardware Configuration Jumper Settings JP6 - CMOS RAM Clear Selector The battery on this mainboard is designed to retain the system configuration in CMOS RAM. In order to save the life of the battery, this jumper is set to "Clear CMOS" position when this board is shipped, therefore you need to set this jumper to "Normal"...
Chapter 2 ATX Functions & Connectors This mainboard supports ATX power and ACPI specification. The ATX functions and connectors are described below. Software Power-Off Follow the steps below to use the “Software Power-Off Control” function in Windows 95/98 with ATX power supply.
Hardware Configuration JP4 - LAN Wake On Connector Connect this connector to the LAN card which supports ACPI specification. 5V Standby Ground Active High Chipset Chipset Alarm Wake Up If you want to autoboot the system at a certain time, set the function of RTC Alarm time properly and the function of RTC Alarm Power On in the BIOS Setup section will be set to "Enabled".
Chapter 2 JP1 – Keyboard Power On Selector This jumper is designed for the user to turn on the system by using the keyboard, and, the user must enter BIOS Setup to set the “Keyboard Power On” option in the Advanced Chipset Setup.
Hardware Configuration J9 (21,22) – Power Button/SuspendSwitch Connector Attach the ATX power button/suspend switch cable to this connector. In the AT power system, this connector will act as a suspend switch; and in the ATX power system, this connector will be not only an ATX power button but a suspend switch as well.
Chapter 2 Connectors Attach system components and case devices to the mainboard via the mainboard connectors. A description of each connector follows. See Figure 2–1 for the location of the connectors on the mainboard. Note: Make sure that the power is turned off before making any connection to the board.
Hardware Configuration J6 – Infrared Connector The mainboard provides a 5-pin Infrared connector for infrared devices. You must configure the setting for infrare d device through the Peripheral Setup in BIOS Setup section. Chipset Chipset FAN1 FAN1 – CPU Fan Power Connector Connect CPU fan cable to this connector.
Chapter 2 Case Connectors: J9 The case connectors contain: Speaker, Power LED, Keylock, Turbo LED, HDD LED, Reset Switch, and Power Button. Refer to the following drawing for the location on the mainboard. pin1, 3, 5, 7 – Speaker pin2, 4, 6 – Power LED pin8, 10 –...

Chapter 2 Onboard PCI Sound There is a onboard PCI Sound for the 3D multimedia systems. J7/J8 – Analog Audio from CD-ROM Connectors Connect from “AUDIO” output of the CD-ROM driver to these connectors. For Panasonic or compatible type ofCD- ROM, connect to J7 (pin signals assignment is G-L-G-R), and for Sony or compatible type of CD-ROM,connect to J8 (pin signals assignment is L-G-G-R).
Hardware Configuration J5 – Digital Audio Connector Connect this connector to the Aux. Sound ribbon cable/ bracket that contains 3 jacks for Aux IN, SPDIF IN and SPDIF OUT device. Aux IN is called the second Line-in. Connect SPDIF IN to the Mini-Disk to record, and avoid this jack to work simultaneously with the internal SPDIF IN connector.
Chapter 2 Notice for PCI Sound application 1. Before you install the PCI Sound drivers, make sure your Operating System has been installed, otherwise the PCI Sound Pro might be detect as "Other Device" by the device manager of your OS. 2.
Hardware Configuration The 4 Speakers System Onboard Sound provides 2 wave channels (front/rear), known as the 4 speakers system. When application programs via DirectSound® 3D or A3D® interface locate the sound sources to the listener's back, the two rear speakers will work to enhance the rear audio positional effect, so as to complement the insufficiency of using only two front speakers to emulate the audio effect.
Chapter 3 BIOS Setup This chapter explains how to configure the mainboard’s BIOS setup program. The setup program provided with the mainboard is the BIOS from AMI. After you have configured the mainboard and have assembled the components, turn on the computer and run the software setup to ensure that the system information is correct.
Chapter 3 Entering BIOS Setup To enter the BIOS Setup program: 1. Turn on or reboot the system. A screen appears with a series of diagnostic checks. 2. When “Hit <DEL> if you want to run SETUP” appears, press the <DEL> key to enter the BIOS setup program.
