HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

This manual is written in a user-friendly style. It would be

advisable for users to read it in an orderly sequence :

1. For Hardware Information:

Read COMPONENT LOCATION DIAGRAM, Page A: QUICK JUMPER &

CONNECTOR SETTING, Page B: Slot 1 and CPU Installation, Page C:

CONNECTORS AND JUMPERS DESCRIPTION and Page D:List of Packaging.

2. For Mainboard and System Features:

Read “Chapter 1 System Features” , and you will find helpful information

on mainboard and system features. Especially, when you want to do some

feature setup, detailed instructions are provided therein to help you through.

3. For CPU, Memory and Drivers Installation:

Read “Chapter 2 Installation” for your CPU, memory and application drivers

installation. Detailed instructions are provided to guide all kinds of users.

4. For BIOS Update and Setup:

Read “Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup” for updating your mainboard BIOS and

setting up your BIOS Configuration.

5. For other Technical Support:

Read “APPENDIX A”, fill and send the Request Form to your dealer for other

technical support.

The default settings on a mainboard is not necessarily what user expects. A

user-friendly manual would be the handiest assistant to help change the on-board

configuration or default setting. In case this manual cannot solve all your problems,

please ask your dealer for help and be sure the warranty on your system is still valid.
