INSTALLATIONS  
Installing the CPU  
The I815E board supports a Socket 370 processor socket for Intel  
Pentium III and Celeron processors.  
The Socket 370 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the  
processor. Raise this lever to about a 90° angle to allow the insertion of  
the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the  
notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside  
of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, return the lever  
to the lock position. Refer to the figures below.  
After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the  
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct.  
Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in  
total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would  
cause your system to hang or be unstable.  
NOTE:

BIOS SETUP  
BIOS Introduction  
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer  
system’ s ROM supports Intel Pentium II/III processors. The BIOS  
provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk  
drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password  
protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the  
chipset controlling the entire system.  
BIOS Setup  
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the  
system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores  
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is  
immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to  
enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,  
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus  
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,  
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously  
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by  
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will  
appear on the screen:  
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup  
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,  
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and  
<Esc> to quit.  
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the  
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions  
and exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control  
keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just below the  
control keys section, there is another section which displays information  
on the currently highlighted item in the list.  
If the system cannot boot after making and saving system  
changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports an override to  
the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default.  
Note:  
It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any  
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been  
carefully chosen by both Award and your system  
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum  
performance and reliability. Changing the defaults could  
cause the system to become unstable and crash in some  
cases.

BIOS SETUP  
Standard CMOS Setup  
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic  
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system  
clock and error handling. If the board is already installed in a working  
system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the  
Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware  
configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in  
the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

This item protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk  
against accidental modifications. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt  
the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either  
allow the operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to locate and  
remove the problem.  
CPU Internal Cache / External Cache  
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than  
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up  
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have  
additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the  
system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache  
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to  
enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By  
default, these items are Enabled.  
I815E User’s Manual  
31  
BIOS SETUP  
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking  
This field enables or disables the ECC (Error Correction Checking)  
checking of the CPU level-2 cache. The default setting is Enabled.  
Processor Number Feature  
When enabled, this feature allows external systems to detect the processor  
number/type of the CPU.  
Quick Power On Self Test  
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after  
the system is turned on. If it is set toEnabled, BIOS will skip some items.  
First/Second/Third Boot Device  
These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an  
operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD-0,  
SCSI, CDROM, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, LAN and Disable.  
Boot Other Device  
These fields allow the system to search for an operating system from  
other devices other than the ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot  
Device.  
Swap Floppy Drive  
This item allows you to determine whether or not to enable Swap Floppy  
Drive. When enabled, the BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments so that  
Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A. By default, this  
field is set to Disabled.  
Boot Up Floppy Seek  
When enabled, the BIOS will seek whether or not the floppy drive  
installed has 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type has 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M  
and 1.44M all have 80 tracks.  
Boot Up NumLock Status  
This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the  
system.

Reload Global Timer Events  
The HDD, FDD, COM, LPT Ports, and PCI PIRQ are I/O events which  
can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken  
the system from such a mode. When an I/O device wants to gain the  
attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to  
occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it  
interrupts itself and performs the service.
