Page 17 Mounting the System Wall Mounting WARNING! 5 Do not begin to install the system until you have read and understood the instructions and warnings contained in this section. 5 Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the system and all attached hardware and components. 5 Never exceed the Maximum Load Capacity of 220 lb (100 kg). 5 If mounting to wood wall studs, make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the studs. Use of an “edge to edge” stud finder is highly recommended. 5 Always use an assistant or mechanical lifting equipment to safely lift and position the system. 5 When installing wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8” of actual concrete thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints. Besure to mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1” (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity. 5 Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor. 5 Concrete anchors are NOT intended for attachment to concrete walls covered with a layer of plaster, drywall, or other finishing materials. If mounting to concrete wall covered with plaster/drywall is unavoidable, plaster/drywall (up to 5/8” thick) must be counterbored. Be sure concrete anchors do not pull away from concrete when tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8”, custom fasteners must be used. 5 Tighten the screws firmly, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the items, greatly reducing their holding power.

Page 48 PNP/PCI Configurations This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play) feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users make any changes to the default settings. Primary Graphic’s Adapter This setting specifies which graphics card is your primary graphics adapter. PCI Latency Timer This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI performance, you should set the item to higher values. PCI Slot 1/2 IRQ These items specify the IRQ line for each PCI slot. IRQ Resource Setup Press to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears: IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15 These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used. The settings determines if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the Page 49 system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning a [Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as [Available]. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices. NOTE IRQ (interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. After receiving the signal, when the operating system ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the I/O device. H/W Monitor Chassis Intrusion The field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusion status and issuing a warning message if the chassis is once opened. To clear the warning message, set the field to [Reset]. The setting of the field will automatically return to [Enabled] later.

Advanced DRAM Configuration Press to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears: Configuration of DRAM Timing by SPD Setting to [Enabled] enables DRAM CAS# Latency to be automatically determined by BIOS based on the configurations of the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) EEPROM on the DRAM module. Page 51 DRAM CAS# Latency When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The smaller the clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance. DRAM RAS# Precharge When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], this field is adjustable. This field is adjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed for precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], this field is adjustable. This field is adjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed for precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. DRAM TRFC When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. This setting determines the time RFC takes to read from and write to a memory cell. DRAM TWR When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Minimum time interval between end of write data burst and the start of a precharge command. Allows sense amplifiers to restore data to cells. DRAM TWTR When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Minimum time interval between end of write data burst and the start of a column-read command. It allows I/O gating to overdrive sense amplifiers before read command starts. DRAM TRRD When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Specifies the active-to-active delay of different banks. Time interval between a read and a precharge command. DRAM TRTP When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Time interval between a read and a precharge command. FSB/Memory Ratio This item will allow you to adjust the FSB/Ratio of memory. Adjusted DDR Memory Frequency It shows the adjusted DDR memory frequency. Read-only. Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). Memory Voltage (V) This item will allow you to adjust the Memory voltage. Page 52 PCI Express Voltage This item will allow you to adjust the PCI Express voltage. Spread Spectrum When the mainboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at Disabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, set to Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slighter jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. NOTE 1. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. Bit if you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction. 2. The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation. 3. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. Load Fail-Safe/Optimized Defaults The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS settings to the default Fail-Safe or Optimized values. The Optimized Defaults are the default values set by the mainboard manufacturer specifically for optimal performance of the mainboard. The Fail-Safe Defaults are the default values set by the BIOS vendor for stable system performance. When you select Load Fail-Safe Defaults, a message appears as below: Pressing [Ok] loads the BIOS default values for the most stable, minimal system performance. When you select Load Optimized Defaults, a message as below appears: Pressing [Ok] loads the default factory settings for optimal system performance.
