If the chassisintrusion lead is not used, a jumper cap must be placed over the pins to prevent unnecessarypower loss.WOL (Wake On LAN) (J18, 3-pin)This header is used for remote wakeup of the computer through a network. WOL requires aPCI add-in network interface card (NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remotewakeup header on the NIC must be connected to the onboard Wake on LAN header.

Did you insert the expansion card (VGA, Sound… etc.) already (Sec.3.5)?Are you sure that all the connectors (described in Sec 3.6) have beenconnected to their variable devices (Sec. 3.6)?Yes, I have checked and assured the above steps!Now get ready to turn on your device by following the steps below.1. Mount your motherboard to the chassis frame and close the case cover.2. Switch off all power.3. Connect the power supply cord into inlet of the system case.4. Connect the power supply cord into an outlet of power supply.5. Connect Monitor signal cable to the system VGA port and the monitorpower cord to power outlet.6. Now turn on the monitor and system power.After Power on, the power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. For ATXpower supplies, the system LED will light when the ATX power switch is pressed.The system will then do a power-on-self-test, and additional messages will appear on screen.If the screen blinks or the tests stop more than 30 seconds, the system may have failed thepower-on-self-test. If so, please recheck the above steps or call your retailer for assistance.

344. BIOS Setup44.. BBIIOOSS SSeettuuppThe motherboard uses AMI BIOS, which isstored in a Flash EEPROM and can be upgradedby a floppy disk-based program. The BIOS has abuilt-in Setup Program that allows users tomodify the basic system configuration settings.The settings are then stored in a dedicatedbattery-backed memory, called CMOS RAM thatretains the information when the power is turnedoff.The BIOS provides critical low-level support for the system’s central processing unit,memory bus and I/O subsystems. The AMI BIOS has been customized by adding important,nonstandard features such as password protection, power management, and detailed fine-tuning setting of the chip set which controls the system. The remainder of this manual isintended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using the BIOS Setup.4.1 BIOS SetupThe AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOSreads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checkingthe system and configuring it through the power-on-self-test (POST). When thesepreliminaries are finished, the BIOS seek an operation system on the data storage devices(hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands overcontrol of system operation to it.To start Setup, press the <F1> key during boot-up before or while a message similar to thisappears briefly at the bottom of the screen during POST (Power On Self Test):Press <F1> if you want to enter SETUPIf the above message disappears before you have responded and you still wish to enter Setup,reboot the system to try again by pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You mayalso restart by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. Press F1 toto enter SETUP4.1.1 Setup KeysThe keys below help you navigate in Setup.<↑> , <↓>Move to previous or next item<←> , <→>Move to the item in the left or right hand

In particular, do notchange settings in the Chipset screen without a good reason. BCM Advanced Research Inc.or your system manufacturer for the best performance and reliability has carefully chosen theChipset defaults. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup may cause the systemto become unstable.

This section does not show information aboutother IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSIdrives.NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of almostall IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects itsspecifications during POST, every time the system boots.If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type areavailable:1. Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the preprogrammedvalues for drive types 1 through 45.2. Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.
404. BIOS Setup3. Use the IDE HDD AUTO DECTECTION function in Setup.Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:Ø Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each defined drive typehas a specified number of cylinders, number of heads, write precompensation factor,landing zone, and number of sectors, Drives whose specifications do not accommodateany pre-defined type are classified as type USER.Ø Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually slightly greaterthan the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking program.Ø Cyln: Number of cylindersØ Head: Number of herdsØ WPcom: Write precompensation cylinderØ Sec: Number of sectorsØ Mode: LBA, Blk, PIO, 32BitØ LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the IDE controllerTransforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into aphysical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives withgreater than 1024 cylinders.4.3.5 Boot Sector Virus ProtectionThis will enable a warning message if a virus attempts to write to the boot sector or thepartition table of the hard disk drive. Keep in mind that this feature not only protects theboot sector, but the entire hard drive.4.3.6 MemoryYou cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only for your information. Thefields show the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to basememory, extended memory, and other (high) memory. RAM is counted in kilobytes (KB:approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes (MB: approximately one million bytes).RAM is the computer's working memory, where the computer stores programs and datacurrently being used, so they are accessible to the CPU. Modern personal computers maycontain up to 64 MB, 128 MB, or more.Base MemoryTypically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS operating system andconventional applications use this area.Extended MemoryAbove the 1MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could not use memory above 1

BIOS SetupVGA PaletteSnoop Bit ActionDisabled Data read and written by the CPU is only directed to the PCIVGA device's palette registers.Enabled Data read and written by the CPU is directed to the both thePCI VGA device's palette registers and the ISA VGA devicepalette registers, permitting the palette registers of bothdevices to be identical.This option must be set to Enabled if any ISA adapter card installed in the system requiresVGA palette snooping.4.7.5 Allocate IRQ to PCI VGAThis option allows you to reserve IRQ for PCI VGA device.4.7.6 DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7These options allow you to specify the bus type used by each DMA channel.4.7.7 IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15These options specify the bus that the specified IRQ line is used on. These options allow youto reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter cards. These options determine if AMIBIOS shouldremove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable bythe system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. Ifmore IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end user can use these options to reserve theIRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. AllIRQs used by onboard I/O are configuration as PCI/PnP. IRQ12 only appears if the MouseSupport option in Advanced Setup is set to Disabled. IRQ14 and 15 will not be available ifthe onboard PCI IDE is enabled. If all IRQs are set to ISA/EISA and IRQ14 and 15 areallocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices,because at least one IRQ must be available for PCI and PnP devices.
