Hardware Installation  
NOTE: “Out Of Memory” Error Message  
If you have installed more than 512 MB of RAM and are running Microsoft Windows Millen-  
nium Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 98 or Windows 95 you may experience  
memory problems. Two symptoms of these problems are being unable to run an MS-DOS  
session while you are running Windows or the computer may stop responding while Win-  
dows is starting.  
There are three possible solutions to this problem:  
1) Reduce the amount of memory Vcache uses to 512 MB or less by altering the MaxFile-  
Cache setting in the System.ini file.  
2) Use the System Configuration Utility to reduce the amount of memory Windows uses  
to 512 MB or less.  
3) Reduce the memory installed on your computer to 512 MB or less.  
This problem can also occur if you are using an Advanced Graphic Port (AGP) video  
adapter.  
2.3.3. PCI Slots  
These boards come with three PCI slots. They are located on the left hand side of  
the board. Both PCI and PCI expansion cards may require IRQ’s. This mainboard  
complies with Plug and Play (PnP) specifications. Whenever a PnP compliant card  
is added the system will automatically be configured and the IRQ’s will be as-  
signed automatically.  
When you are inserting your PCI card make sure that the pins are correctly  
aligned. When the pins are properly aligned with the hole’s in the slot, push down  
gently.

BIOS Setup  
Virus Warning  
When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus)  
attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive.  
You should then run an anti-virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects  
only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive.  
Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the  
virus-warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that  
you first disable the virus warning.  
CPU Internal Cache / External Cache  
CPU Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional  
DRAM (system memory) which is built into the processor. If you enable this  
option, when the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from  
the main DRAM into cache memory for faster access.  
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking  
When you select Enabled, The ECC checking will ensured the accuracy of the data  
stored on the L2 cache.  
Processor Number Feature  
If you have installed a Pentium !!! processoron the mainboard. If Enabled this  
option allows the serial code inside the Pentium !!! processor to be published on  
certain applications.  
Quick Power On Self Test  
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-  
test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally  
disable quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during  
your work.  
First/Second/Third/Boot Other Device  
These fields allow you to decide the boot sequence of your bootable devices such  
as Hard Drive, CD ROM...etc  
Swap Floppy Drive  
This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting Enabled  
assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B.  
29  
BIOS Setup  
Boot Up Floppy Seek  
When enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they  
have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720  
KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern  
PCs have 40-track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled  
to save time.  
Boot Up NumLock Status  
Toggle between On or Off to controls the state of the NumLock key when the  
system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead  
of controlling cursor operations.  
Gate A20 Option  
Gate A20 is a signal that gives the system access to addresses higher than A19. If  
you select Fast the chipset will control this signal. If you select normal a pin in the  
keyboard controller will control the signal.  
Typematic Rate Setting  
This field allows you to adjust the frequency of keyboard control signal. If you  
wish to increase the keyboard typematic rate nand delay, select “enabled”.  
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)  
Select the appropriate Character input per second.  
Typematic Delay (Msec)  
Allow you to adjust the timing interval between the typing.  
Security Option  
This field allows you to select Setup or System Security option and it needs to  
work along with the “ Set Supervisor Password” in the main menu.  
When "Setup" option is selected, you will be prompt to input your "Passwords"  
before you can start the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility. When you select "System"  
option, you will be prompt to input your password in order to load the Operation  
System (Window OS or Linux OS).  
Forgotten Your Password  
If you happen to forget your password, you can clear the password by erasing the  
CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC) Ram. Please refer to page 23.

BIOS Setup  
PS/2 mouse function control  
This mainboard has a built-in PS/2™ mouse port. If you are using the PS/2™  
mouse, please leave this field as “Enabled”. In case you prefer to connect a serial  
mouse to the serial port instead of using the PS/2™ mouse, you may choose  
“Disable” in this field so that the IRQ12 can be released for other devices.  
OS Select For DRAM > 64MB  
Select OS2 only if you are running OS/2 operating system with greater than 64 MB  
of RAM on your system. Otherwise, use the default setting “Non-OS2” for all other  
operating systems.  
HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability  
If your Hard Drive support the S.M.A.R.T. technology (Self Monitoring Analysis  
Reporting Technology) feature, you may “enable” this item to monitor and report  
your Hard Drive healthy status. Check with your Hard Drive Vendor for further  
information about SMART feature.  
Report No FDD for WIN 95  
If you did not install a floppy drive select Yes. This will release IRQ6 for  
compatibility with Windows 95 logo certification. You should also disable the  
Onboard FDC Controller field in the Integrated peripherals menu.

fields to configure the DRAM parameter properly will give you the best  
performance. Improper setting on these fields will cause instability, therefore it is  
recommended to leave it to default setting.

parameters ).  
When the ACPI function is installed in your PC system successfully, you will find  
the ACPI function in the power management icon. The PW switch defined by the  
ACPI is different to the BIOS setup and it always has the higher priority than what  
was defined in the system BIOS.  
37  
 
BIOS Setup  
According to what was defined by the ACPI in Windows 98, the PW switch can be  
either the "Standby switch" or "shutdown switch". When "Standby switch" is  
selected, the first click on the PW switch will have the PC system turn into standby  
mode. If you want to "wake up" the PC system, you will have to use the devices  
(such as keyboard, mouse .. etc) which is specified in the Windows 98 ACPI  
function to trigger the PC system so that it will be back to full-on mode (For more  
detail of ACPI function, please refer to Windows 98 user's manual for more detail  
information).

When “Enabled”, it will auto detect the devices presences on DIMM and PCI slots.  
When there is no device presented on some of the PCI slots or DIMM connectors,  
the clock on the related DIMM connectors and PCI slots will be disabled to reduce  
the Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI).  
Spread Spectrum  
When Spread Spectrum is enabled, the EMI radiation on this mainboard will be  
reduced.  
CPU Clock Ratio:  
This field allows you to select the CPU clock ratio. Most CPU clock ratios are fixed  
inside the CPU by the manufacturers that prohibit you to make any changes. In  
this case, the setting in this field will make no change to the CPU clock ratio since  
it is locked and automatically determined by the CPU.  
If you happen to over-clock the FSB and you PC system fail to start. You need to clear the  
CMOS data (see detail regarding clearing CMOS Data on page 23). If the PC system still fails  
to start, then you have to remove the battery for 1 minute to clear the CMOS Data.
