1-3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Follow the messages below to avoid your systems from damage:  
1. Keep your system away from static electricity on all occasions.  
2. Prevent electric shock. Don‘t touch any components of this card when the  
card is power-on. Always disconnect power when the system is not in use.  
3. Disconnect power when you change any hardware devices. For instance,  
when you connect a jumper or install any cards, a surge of power may  
damage the electronic components or the whole system.

2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS  
You can configure your board by setting jumpers. Jumper is consists of  
two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by  
using a small plastic "cap", Also known as the jumper cap (with a metal  
contact inside), you are able to connect the pins. So you can set-up your  
hardware configuration by "open" or "close" pins.  
The jumper can be combined into sets that called jumper blocks. When  
the jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to set up  
the hardware configuration. The figure below shows how this looks like.  
JUMPERS AND CAPS  
If a jumper has three pins (for examples, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3),  
You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting by shorting. You can  
either connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper  
diagrams are applied all through this manual. The figure below shows  
what the manual diagrams look and what they represent.

The Watch-dog Timer has a programmable time-out ranging from 1 to 255 minutes  
with one minute resolution, or 1 to 255 seconds with 1 second resolution. The units of  
the WDT timeout value are selected via bit[7] of the WDT_TIMEOUT register,  
which is located on I/O Port address 0x865h. The WDT time-out value is set through  
the WDT_VAL Runtime register, which is located on I/O Port address 0x866h.  
Setting the WDT_VAL register to 0x00 disables the WDT function Setting the  
WDT_VAL to any other non-zero value will cause the WDT to reload and begin  
counting down from the value loaded. Setting the Register located on I/O address  
0x867h and 0x868h as 00h to finish timer configuration.

Award BIOS Setup  
4-1. INTRODUCTION  
This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the  
features of your system. The PMB-531LF Intel Core Duo/Solo ATX  
Motherboard is equipped with the BIOS for system chipset from Phoenix -  
Award Software Inc. This page briefly explains the function of the BIOS in  
managing the special features of your system. The following pages describe  
how to use the BIOS for system chipset Setup menu.  
Your application programs (such as word processing, spreadsheets, and  
games) rely on an operating system such as DOS or OS/2 to manage such  
things as keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and memory.  
The operating system relies on the BIOS (Basic Input and Output system), a  
program stored on a ROM (Read-only Memory) chip, to initialize and  
configure your computer's hardware. As the interface between the hardware  
and the operating system, the BIOS enables you to make basic changes to  
your system's hardware without having to write a new operating system.  
The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships between the  
system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and application program:

The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating  
mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard  
drive, the BIOS detect its specifications during POST, every time system  
boots.  
If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting  
drive type are available:  
1. Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the  
preprogrammed values for hard drive types 1 through 45.  
2. Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.  
3. Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup.  
Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:  
Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each  
defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads,  
write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors.  
Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any predefine type are  
classified as type USER.  
Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually  
greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking  
program.  
Cyls: number of cylinders.  
Head: number of heads.  
Precomp: write precompensation cylinders.  
Landz: landing zone.  
Sector: number of sectors.  
Mode: Auto, Normal, Large or LBA.  
Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.

supported are 1024, 16 and 63.  
Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more  
than 1024 cylinders.  
LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the  
IDE controller transforms the data address described by  
sector, head and cylinder number into a physical block  
address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For  
drives greater than 1024 cylinders.  
VIDEO:  
This category selects the type of video adapter used for the primary system  
monitor. Although secondary monitors are supported, you do not have to  
select the type in Setup. Available Options are as follows:

This parameter allows you to configure the system based on the specific  
features of the installed chipset. The chipset manages bus speed and  
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache.  
It also coordinates communications between conventional ISA bus and the  
PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered.  
The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best opera-  
ting conditions for the system. The only time you might consider making  
any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while  
using your system.  
DRAM TIMEING SELECTABLE:  
The value in this field depends on performance parameters of the installed  
memory chips (DRAM). Do not change the value from the factory setting  
unless you install new memory that has a different performance rating than  
the original DRAMs.  
CAS LATENCY TIME:  
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS  
latency depends on the DRAM timing.  
DRAM RAS# TO CAS# DELAY:  
This item let you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe  
signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast  
gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This  
field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.  
The choices are 2 and 3.  
DRAM RAS# PRECHARGE TIME:  
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its  
charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM  
may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more  
stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is  
installed in the system. The choices are 2 & 3.  
PRECHARGE DEALY (tRAS):  
Precharge Delay This setting controls the precharge delay, which  
determines the timing delay for DRAM precharge  
System Memory Frequency:  
Allow to choose different frequency of memory module.

SYSTEM BIOS CACHEABLE:  
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-  
FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program  
writes to this memory area, a system error may result.  
VIDEO BIOS CACHEABLE:  
Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better system  
performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system  
error may result.  
MEMORY HOLE AT 15-16M:  
You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When  
this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of

PCI, also known as Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system, which  
allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself  
uses when communicating with its own special components.  
This section covers technical items, which is strongly recommended for  
experienced users only.  
INIT DISPLAY FIRST:  
This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA  
first.  
RESET CONFIGURATION DATA:  
Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended  
System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have  
installed a new add-on and the system configuration has caused such a  
serious conflict that the operating system cannot boot.  
RESOURCE CONTROLLED BY:  
The Award Plug and Play Bios can automatically configure all of the booth  
and Plug and Play-compatible devices. However, this capability means  
absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system
