Installation Are You Ready To Turn On The System? Check Again 1. Is the CPU installed exactly and firmly into the socket (Sec. 3.3)? 2. Are all the DRAM modules installed properly (Sec. 3.4)? 3. Are all the add-in peripheral seated and configured properly (Sec. 3.5)? 4. Are you sure that all the connectors (described in Sec. 3.6) have been connected to their related devices (Sec. 3.6)? 5. Check both Power J21 and J34 are connected.
BIOS Setup 4. BIOS Setup The motherboard uses Whizpro BIOS, stored in a flash EEPROM. All of the configuration information is stored in the CMOS. 4.1 BIOS Setup The Whizpro BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking the system and configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST).
BIOS Setup 4.2 Main Setup Menu When you enter the Whizpro BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, a Main Menu appears on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several Setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press key to enter the sub-menu. A brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the right of the screen. Following is a brief summary of each Setup category.
BIOS Setup 4.3 General Configuration Menu In the Standard CMOS Menu, you can set the system clock and calendar, record disk drive parameters and the video subsystem type, and select the type of errors that stop the BIOS POST. 4.3.1 Date The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date information. This field is for information only. Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field (date, month, year).
BIOS Setup 4.3.4 First Boot Device This option sets the type of device for the first boot drives that the BIOS attempts to boot from after BIOS Post completes. 4.3.5 Second Boot Device This option sets the type of device for the second boot drives that the BIOS attempts to boot from after BIOS Post completes. 4.3.6 Third Boot Device This option sets the type of device for the third boot drives that the BIOS attempts to boot from after BIOS Post completes. 4.3.
BIOS Setup 4.4 Advanced Configuration Menu These screens contain industry-standard options additional to the core PC AT BIOS. This section describes all fields offered by Whizpro Software in this screen. Some fields may vary from those in your Setup program. Your system builder may omit or modify some fields. 4.4.1 IDE Drive Delay Configure IDE drive delay. Default Disable 4.4.2 Multi-sector Transfer Configure Multi-sector transfer. Default Disable. 4.4.
BIOS Setup 4.4.11 D800-DFFF Shadow These options specify how the ROM at D800h copy to RAM, enable will allow the ROM area from D000-DFFF copy to RAM. 4.4.12 Typematic Rate Setting When disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your system. When enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic delay. 4.4.
BIOS Setup 4.5 System Specific Setup 4.5.1 CPU Frequency Ratio Select CPU frequency multiplier. CPU core frequency = system bus x ratio. Must RESET system if a new ratio is selected. 4.5.2 Unused PCI Slot Clock Turn on or off the clock for unused PCI slots. 4.5.3 Unused DIMM Socket clock Turn on or off the clock for unused DIMM sockets. 4.5.4 Spread Spectrum Select Spread Spectrum method. Default is Off.
BIOS Setup 4.6 Primary IDE Drives 4.6.1 Primary Master Select Auto BIOS will detects if a drive is installed and its CHS parameters. If Manual is select, CHS parameters needs to be insert manually. Select None for no IDE drive installed.
BIOS Setup 4.7 Secondary IDE Drives 4.7.1 Secondary Master Select Auto BIOS will detects if a drive is installed and its CHS parameters. If Manual is select, CHS parameters needs to be manually insert.
BIOS Setup 4.8 Peripherals Setup Menu 4.8.1 Floppy Controller Set this option to enable to invoke the floppy drive controller on the motherboard. 4.8.2 Primary IDE Set this option to enable to invoke the Primary IDE channel on the motherboard. 4.8.3 Secondary IDE Set this option to enable to invoke the Secondary IDE channel on the motherboard. 4.8.4 Onboard USB Controller This option allows enabling Rear USB, Font USB or Both. 4.8.
BIOS Setup 4.9 Power Management Setup Menu The Power Management Setup allows you to configure your system to most effectively save energy while operating in a manner consistent with your own style of computer use. 4.9.1 Power Management Disable APM ACPI APM+ACPI No power management. Allows operating system to use APM (Advanced Power Management) mode for power management.
BIOS Setup 4.9.6 Hard Disk Power Down Set system inactivity time period before BIOS shutdown IDE drive in APM mode. 4.9.7 Video Off Set system inactivity time period before BIOS turn off video in APM mode. 4.9.8 Power Button In case of computer being “hung”: Instant-Off allows the power button to shut down the system instantly by the push of the button; Delay 4 Sec. allows the power button to shut down the system after holding the button for 4 seconds. 4.9.
BIOS Setup 4.10 PCI /PnP Configurations Menu 4.10.1 PnP OS Installed Set this option to “Yes” to inform BIOS the operating system can handle plug and play (PnP) devices. 4.10.2 Reset Configure Data Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Date (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system cannot boot. 4.10.
BIOS Setup 4.11 Hardware Monitor 4.11.1 Vcore Voltage Display current CPU Vcore voltage. 4.11.2 3.3 Volt Display current 3.3 volt. 4.11.3 5.0 Volt Display current 5 volt. 4.11.4 12 Volt Display current 12 volt. 4.11.5 -12 Volt Display current -12 volt. 4.11.6 CPU FAN Rotation Display current CPU FAN speed on Rotations per minutes (RPM). 4.11.7 CPU Temperature Display current CPU temperature. 4.11.9 System Temperature Display current system temperature.
BIOS Setup 4.12 Restore Default Settings 4.12.1 Restore Manufacture Settings Restore manufacture settings to recover the optimum settings for the original manufacture configuration. 4.12.2 Restore Fail-Safe Settings Load Fail-Safe settings when you can not boot the system to operating system after change/ add/ remove hardware parts or peripherals. 4.13 Exit Options are Save CMOS and Exit, Discard Change and Exit, Back to Setup.
Troubleshooting 5. Troubleshooting 5.1 General Troubleshooting Tips 1) 2) 3) Is your system properly assembled and configured? a. Make sure the BIOS setup is set to default/optimal settings. Pressing key to enter the setup, select Default or Optimal settings, then save and exit the setup. b. For Windows 2000 that requires ACPI support make sure your ACPI + APM is selected at Power Management in your BIOS. c. Is your board jumper set according to the manual/”Jumpers” in the website? d.
Troubleshooting attempts to get it to work even at bare minimum and with slowest speed setup, then it may require a repair or a replacement. You can get it repaired or replaced for free if within warranty of your reseller and/or BCM’s. Check your reseller for the warranty and exchange policies. Please note that BCM DO NOT BACK reseller’s warranty if it EXCEEDS BCM’s current warranty policy which is one year from the date of manufacture and the board is PAST BCM’s warranty period.
