2. Hardware Setup

In this chapter we will elaborate all the information you need upon installing this motherboard

to your computer system.

※ Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or

removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage

to your motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after

you have carefully checked everything.

2.1 Choosing a Computer Chassis

•

This motherboard carries an ATX form factor of 305 x 245 mm. Choose a chassis big

enough to install this motherboard.

•

As some features for this motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the

motherboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis

supports all the features required.

•

If there is possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has

sufficient power and space for them.

Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O

shield of the chassis matches the I/O port configuration of this motherboard. You can find

an I/O shield specifically designed for this motherboard in its package.

2.2 Installing Motherboard

Most computer chassis have a base with

many mounting holes to allow the

motherboard to be securely attached, and at

the same time, prevent the system from

short circuits. There are two ways to attach

the motherboard to the chassis base:

1. use studs, or

2. use spacers

In principle, the best way to attach the board

is to use studs. Only if you are unable to do

this should you attach the board with spacers.

Line up the holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and

there are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the holes line up and there are

only slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into

the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned with slots.

After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the

chassis back on.

AW8D

2-1

To install this motherboard:

1. Locate all the screw holes on

the motherboard and the

chassis base.

2. Place all the studs or spacers

needed on the chassis base

and have them tightened.

3. Face the motherboard’s I/O

ports toward the chassis’s rear

panel.

4. Line up all the motherboard’s

screw holes with those studs or

spacers on the chassis.

5. Install the motherboard with

screws

tightened.

and

have

them

※ To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if

they are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes

on the motherboard to align with.

2.3 Checking Jumper Settings

For a 2-pin jumper, plug the jumper cap on both pins will make it CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the

jumper cap, or plug it on either pin (reserved for future use) will leave it at OPEN position.

SHORT

OPEN

For 3-pin jumper, pin 1~2 or pin 2~3 can be shorted by plugging the jumper cap in.

Pin 1~2 SHORT

Pin 2~3 SHORT

AW8D

2.3.1 CMOS Memory Clearing Header and Backup Battery

The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a) the CMOS data becomes corrupted, (b)

you forgot the supervisor or user password preset in the BIOS menu, (c) you are unable to

boot-up the system because the CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu.

This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory and have it reconfigured to the

default values stored in BIOS.

•

Pins 1 and 2 shorted (default): Normal operation.

Pins 2 and 3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory.

To clear the CMOS memory and load in the default values:

1. Power off the system.

2. Set pin 2 and pin 3 shorted by the jumper cap. Wait for a few seconds. Set the jumper cap

back to its default settings --- pin 1 and pin 2 shorted.

3. Power on the system.

4. For incorrect CPU ratio/clock settings in the BIOS, press <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup

menu right after powering on system.

5. Set the CPU operating speed back to its default or an appropriate value.

6. Save and exit the BIOS setup menu.

AW8D

2-3

CMOS Backup Battery:

An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS information stays on even after

disconnected your system with power source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after

some five years. Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED” or “CMOS

checksum error” displays on monitor, this backup battery is no longer functional and has to

be renewed.

To renew the backup battery:

1. Power off the system and disconnect with AC power source.

2. Remove the exhausted battery.

3. Insert a new CR2032 or equivalent battery. Pay attention to its polarity. The “+” side is its

positive polarity.

4. Connect AC power source and power on the system.

5. Enter the BIOS setup menu. Reconfigure the setup parameters if necessary.

CAUTION:

※ Danger of explosion may arise if the battery is incorrectly renewed.

※ Renew only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery

manufacturer.

※ Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

2.7 Onboard Status Display

2.7.1 POST Code Displayer

This is an LED device to display the “POST” Code, the acronym of Power On Self Test. The

computer will execute the POST action whenever you power on the computer. The POST

process is controlled by the BIOS. It is used to detect the status of the computer’s main

components and peripherals. Each POST Code corresponds to different checkpoints that are

also defined by the BIOS in advance. For example, “memory presence test” is an important

checkpoint and its POST Code is “C1”. When the BIOS execute any POST item, it will write the

corresponding POST Code into the address 80h. If the POST passes, the BIOS will process the

next POST item and write the next POST Code into the address 80h. If the POST fails, we can

check the POST Code in address 80h to find out where the problem lies.

This LED device also displays the “POST” Code of AC2005, an “uGuru” chipset developed

exclusively by ABIT computer.

※ The decimal point lights up during the AC2005 POST action.

See Appendix for both AWARD and AC2005 POST Code definitions.

3. BIOS Setup

This motherboard provides a programmable EEPROM that you can update the BIOS utility. The

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a program that deals with the basic level of

communication between processor and peripherals. Use the BIOS Setup program only when

installing motherboard, reconfiguring system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This chapter

explains the Setup Utility of BIOS utility.

After powering up the system, the BIOS message appears on the screen, the memory count

begins, and then the following message appears on the screen:

PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP

If this message disappears before you respond, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt>

+ <Del> keys, or by pressing the Reset button on computer chassis. Only when it failed by

these two methods can you restart the system by powering it off and then back on.

After pressing <Del> key, the main menu screen appears.

※ In order to increase system stability and performance, our engineering staffs are

constantly improving the BIOS menu. The BIOS setup screens and descriptions

illustrated in this manual are for your reference only, and may not completely

5.2 Troubleshooting (How to Get Technical Support?)

5.2.1 Q & A

Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my

new computer system?

A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard.

Please move the CMOS jumper from its default 1-2 position to 2-3 for a few seconds, and

then back. When you boot up your system for the first time, follow the instructions in the

user's manual to load the optimized defaults.

Q: If my system hangs when I update the BIOS or set the wrong CPU parameters,

what should I do?

A: Whenever you update the BIOS or if the system hangs due to wrong CPU parameters

setting, always clear CMOS jumper before booting up again.

Q: Why does the system fail to boot up again right after a mechanical power-off?

A: Please keep a 30-second interval between each mechanical power On/Off.

Q: Why does the system fail to boot up and nothing displays on the screen after I

did some over-clocking or non-standard settings inside the BIOS?

A: It should not cause hardware or permanent damage to motherboard when BIOS settings

were changed from default to over-clocking or non-standard status.

We suggest the following three troubleshooting methods to discharge CMOS data, recover

the hardware default status, and then making the motherboard work again. There is no

need to bother returning the motherboard to where you bought it from or go through an

RMA process.

Step 1.Switch off the power supply unit and then switch it on again after one minute. If

there is no power-switch on the power supply unit, disconnect its power cord for

one minute and then reconnect.

Press and hold the <Insert> key on the keyboard, and press the power-on button

to boot up system. If it works, release the <Insert> key and hit <Del> key to enter

the BIOS setup page to apply the correct settings.

If the situation remains the same, repeat the procedures in Step 1 for three times,

or try Step 2.

Step 2.Switch off the power supply unit or disconnect the power cord. Open the chassis

cover. Locate the CCMOS jumper near the button battery. Change the jumper

position from default 1-2 to 2-3 for one minute to discharge the CMOS data, and

then put it back to default 1-2 position.

Close the chassis and switch on the power supply unit or plug in the power cord.

Press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works, hit <Del> key to enter

the BIOS setup page to do the correct settings.

If the situation remains the same, try Step 3.

Step 3.The same procedure as Step 2, but while discharging the CMOS data, pull out the

ATX power connectors from motherboard and remove the button battery during

CMOS discharge.

AW8D

5-5

Q: How to get a quick response for my request on technical support?

A: Please carry out a simple troubleshooting before sending “Technical Support Form”:

System boot-up fails after the system had been assembled:

Check the motherboard’s supporting specifications first to see if all the key components

attached in your system can meet.

To do so, you may:

ꢀ

Remove all the unnecessary add-on devices (except the CPU, VGA card, DRAM, and

Power Supply), and then reboot.

ꢀ

If the trouble still exists, try another VGA card of different brand/model to see if the

system will start.

ꢀ

If the trouble still exists, try another memory module of different brand/model.

If the trouble still exists, try another CPU and Power Supply.

If the system runs successfully, shut it down and start re-installing the interface cards and

devices that were previously installed in the system. Re-install and start the system one at a

time until the system won’t start.

Malfunction in the OS:

If the system hangs after resuming from S3 or some testing program, if the CPU cannot be

recognized properly, if the display resolution mixed, or if a certain program cannot be

executed, etc, you may:

ꢀ

Upgrade the motherboard’s latest BIOS version.

Upgrade the add-on device’s latest driver version.

Check if there is any conflict in the “Control Panel/System Properties”.
