[. . . ] This section will explain how to change settings for your mainboard's functions through the use of the jumpers. 2-20 2-21 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot The AGP4X slot allows you to insert an AGP graphics card. AGP is an interface specification designed for the throughput demands of 3D graphics. It introduces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly access main memory and provides three levels of throughputs: 1x (266MB/s), 2x (533MB/ s) and 4x (1. 07GB/s). PCI Slots The three PCI slots allow you to insert expansion cards to meet your needs. When adding or removing PCI expansion cards, ensure that you unplug the power supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to make any necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers, switches or BIOS configuration. CNR (Communication Network Riser) Slot The CNR slot allows you to insert a CNR expansion card. CNR is a specially designed network, audio, or modem riser card for ATX family mainboards. Its main processing is done through software and is controlled by the mainboard's chipset. 2-22 PCI Interrupt Request Routing IRQ allows devices to send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows: 2-23 3-1 3-2 3-3 3-4 3-5 Use the arrow keys to highlight the item and use the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you desire for each item. 3-6 IDE Primary Master/Slave and Secondary Master/Slave Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears: 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 you select Manual, make sure the information provided is from your hard disk vendor or system manufacturer. 3-7 Virus Warning Set the Virus Warning feature for IDE Hard Disk boot sector protection. If the function is enabled, any attempt to write data into this area will cause a beep and a warning message will be displayed. Settings: Enabled and Disabled. 3-12 Onboard IDE Channel 1/2 The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Choose Enabled to activate each channel separately. Settings: Disabled, Enabled. IDE Prefetch Mode This allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from the hard disk drive. Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands or multiple sector read/write. Enabled enables IDE controller to use block mode; Disabled allows the controller to use standard mode. Display Card Priority This setting specifies which VGA card is your primary graphics adapter. Settings: PCI Slot and AGP. AC97 Audio Auto allows the mainboard to detect whether an audio device is used. If the device is detected, the onboard FIC AC'97 (Audio Codec'97) controller will be enabled; if not, it is disabled. Disable the controller if you want to use other controller cards to connect an audio device. Setting options: Auto and Disabled. 3-13 3-14 SuperIO Device Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears: Onboard FDC Controller Enable the onboard floppy controller. Select "Enabled" when you have installed a floppy disk drive. Settings: Enabled and Disabled. Onboard Serial Port 1/2 Set the base I/O port address and IRQ for the onboard serial port A/serial port B. [. . . ] Re-type the password and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password. To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will show up confirming that the password will be disabled. [. . . ]
