WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. 2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation 1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers. 2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use. 3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
Slot 1 Onboard USB 1 Onboard USB 2 AC97/MC97 √ √ √ √ IMPORTANT! If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Shared IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable. 2-5-4 AGP Slot This motherboard provides an AGP Slot, support the 2X/4X AGP VGA card.

2-7 Starting Up Your Computer 1. After all connection are made, close your computer case cover. 2. Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to proper position, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your country’s voltage used. 3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case according to your system user’s manual. 4. Turn on your peripheral as following order: a. Your monitor. b.
Chapter 3 Introducing BIOS The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.
3-3 The Main Menu Once you enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 3-1) will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from fourteen setup functions and two exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept or enter the sub-menu.
Load Optimized Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values these are setting for optimal performances system operations for performance use. Load Standard Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the stable performance system operation that are factory settings for normal use. Set Supervisor/User Password Use this menu to set User and Supervisor Passwords. Save & Exit Setup Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup.
The time format is . Primary Master/Primary Slave Secondary Master/Secondary Slave Press PgUp/<+> or PgDn/<–> to select Manual, None, Auto type. Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for this category. If your hard disk drive type is not matched or listed, you can use Manual to define your own drive type manually.
Allows you to choose the VIRUS Warning feature for IDE Hard Disk boot sector protection. If this function is enabled and someone attempt to write data into this area, BIOS will show a warning message on screen and alarm beep. Disabled (default) No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Typematic Delay (Msec) Sets the delay time after the key is held down before is begins to repeat the keystroke. The settings are 250, 500, 750, and 1000. Security Option This category allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to Setup. The system will not boot and access to Setup will be denied if the System correct password is not entered at the prompt. Setup (default) The system will boot, but access to Setup will be denied if the correct password is not entered prompt.
System BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled. Memory Hole You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory requirements.
