The speed of SDRAM DIMM modules have to be faster than 12ns (12 parts). When 100MHz clock speed is being used, then the speed of SDRAM DIMM should meet the PC100 SDRAM specification (8ns or 8 SDRAM at least). The speed of EDO/FPM DRAM have to be faster than 70ns, but it is not recommended for the performance purpose of the system. 12 Chapter 2 Jumper Settings JP6 CMOS RAM Clear Selector Description Normal Mode (default) Clear CMOS 3 Setting 1 3 1 Note: 1. Make sure that this jumper is set to Normal Mode before installing the mainboard and the power is off before clearing the CMOS. In the AT power system, this connector will act as a suspend switch; and in the ATX power system, this connector will be not only an ATX power button but a Suspend switch as well. Details are described below: When the system is off, push the power button to turn the system on. When the system is on, push the power button rapidly to switch the system to the Suspend mode, and, by pushing and holding the button for more than 4 seconds, it will turn the system completely off. When the system is in the Suspend mode, push the power button rapidly to turn the system on. Chapter 4 BIOS Setup This chapter explains how to configure the mainboards BIOS setup program. The setup program provided with the mainboard is the BIOS from AMI. After you have configured the mainboard and have assembled the components, turn on the computer and run the software setup to ensure that the system information is correct. The software setup of the system board is achieved through Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) programming. You use the BIOS setup program to tell the operating system what type of devices are connected to your system board. The system setup is also called CMOS setup. Normally, you need to run system setup if either the hardware is not identical with information contained in the CMOS RAM, or if the CMOS RAM has lost power. Note: When installing newer BIOS into this mainboard, you need to clear CMOS for a moment then set back to Normal Mode or hold down the <End> key then power on to reboot the system. 18 Chapter 3 Entering BIOS Setup To enter the BIOS Setup program: 1. A screen appears with a series of diagnostic checks. When Hit <DEL> if you want to run SETUP appears, press the <DEL> key to enter the BIOS setup program. The following screen appears: 2.

Use your keyboard to choose options. Modify system parameters to reflect system options. Press Alt-H for Help. BIOS Setup 19 Default Every option in the BIOS Setup contains two default values: Best default and the Optimal default value. Load Optimal Settings The Optimal default values provide optimum system settings for all devices and system features. Load Best Performance Settings The Best default values provide best performance settings for all devices and system features, however depending on the devices used, these settings are not recommend for long hours of work load. Setup Items Standard CMOS Setup Choosing the item from the BIOS Setup main menu. [. . . ] Bit 5 of the command register in the PCI device configuration space is the VGA Palette Snoop bit (0 is disabled). OffBoard PCI IDE This option specifies if an offboard PCI IDE Card controller adapter card is installed in the computer. You must specify the PCI expansion slot on the motherboard where the offboard PCI IDE controller is installed. If an offboard PCI IDE controller is used, the onboard IDE controller is automatically disabled. If an offboard PCI IDE controller adapter card is installed in the computer, you must also set the Offboard PCI IDE Primary IRQ and Offboard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ options. [. . . ]
