[. . . ] 1 Electronic Emission Notices Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instructions contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio and television communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Please contact your CPU supplier for details on identification of Cyrix 6x86 CPU revisions. - This motherboard can be run with Cyrix 6x86-P200+ CPU specifications of all add on cards. If system does not behave reliably at 75MHz Bus Clock , you should set the Bus Clock to 50MHz (JP3 set "2-3", JP4 set "2-3", JP5 set "2-3"). - JP6 is reserved for future AMD K6 processors. * = Default setting Close Open Technical Reference Booklet 11 Memory Configuration The table 1 and table 2 shows the possible memory combinations. The motherboard will support Fast Page Mode (FPM), Extended Data Output (EDO), Burst Extended Data Output (BEDO) and Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) DIMMs. Table 1 DIMM 1 Empty Empty Empty Empty Empty 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 16MB 16MB 16MB 16MB 16MB 16MB 32MB 32MB 32MB 32MB 32MB 32MB 64MB 64MB 64MB 64MB 64MB 64MB 128MB 128MB 128MB 128MB 128MB 128MB (DIMM Configurations ) DIMM 2 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Empty 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Total 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB 8MB 16MB 24MB 40MB 72MB 136MB 16MB 24MB 32MB 48MB 80MB 144MB 32MB 40MB 48MB 64MB 96MB 160MB 64MB 72MB 80MB 96MB 128MB 192MB 128MB 136MB 144MB 160MB 192MB 256MB Table 2 SIMM1 4MB 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB (SIMM Configurations) SIMM2 4MB 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB Total 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB Hardware Setup 12 Installation Installing the Spacer When installing the motherboard (Baby AT), you need to insert the SPACER at the corner near the DIMM sockets to provide better support for connect future DRAM modules. Motherboard DIMM Socket Spacer Installing a DRAM Module To install a DRAM module, · Determine the desired amount of memory and acquire the necessary DRAM modules. · Note that a DRAM module has a polarity notch at one end so that it fits into a socket only one way. Align the DRAM module edge connector with the slot at the center of the socket. Position the DRAM module to the left of the socket and press the DRAM module edge connector firmly into the socket. · · If you have misaligned or only partially seated the module, remove the DRAM module gently and reinstall it. Installing the Processor For easy installation of the CPU, it is recommended that you remove all Cards in PCI slots first. · · · Unpack the CPU and identify the pin 1 corner of the CPU. Match pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the CPU socket. The pin 1 corner of the CPU socket is designated by a small triangle printed on the motherboard. Carefully insert the CPU into the CPU socket and move the metal arm downward to replace it in its original position. Change any jumper settings as detailed in the manual. The small circle marked on the top of the CPU designates the pin 1 corner. If a heat sink is attached and covers the top of the CPU, identify the pin 1 corner by turning the CPU over. Locate the small gold finger that extends from one corner of the large central square portion of the CPU. The gold finger points towards pin 1, which is also uniquely identified by a square pad. Positioning the CPU incorrectly in the socket can permanently damage the CPU and the computer when you turn on the system. Technical Reference Booklet 13 BIOS SETUP This chapter discusses Award's Setup Program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup Program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM, which retains the setup information when the power is turned off. Starting Setup The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system. [. . . ] To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will be displayed to confirm that the password is disabled. BIOS Setup 18 PASSWORD DISABLED. Once the password is disabled, the system will reset and you can enter the Setup Program freely. When a password is enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any setting of your system configuration. [. . . ]
