Internal Connectors
WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper
caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard.
IMPORTANT: Always connect ribbon cables with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the
connectors. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector on hard
drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk
drives.
1) Primary (Blue) / Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1 pin IDE1/IDE2)
These connectors support the provided UltraDMA/66 IDE hard disk ribbon cable.
Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended) or secondary
IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the UltraDMA/66 slave device
(hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA/66 master device. It
is recommended that non-UltraDMA/66 devices be connected to the secondary
IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second
drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk
documentation for the jumper settings.
NOTE: Orient the red markings
(usually zigzag) on the IDE
ribbon cable to PIN 1.

4) CPU Fan Connector (3-pin CPU_FAN)
The CPU fan connector supports cooling fans of 350mA (4.2 Watts) or less. The
fan wiring and plug may vary depending on the fan manufacturer. The red wire
should be positive while the black should be ground. Connect the fan plug to the
board taking into consideration the polarity of the connector.

HARDWARE SETUP
Starting Up the First Time
1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.
2. Be sure that all switches are off (in some systems, marked with ).
3. Connect the power cord to the power connector at the back of the system chassis.
4. Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.
5. Turn on the devices in the following order:
a. Monitor
b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. System power (For ATX power supplies, you need to switch on the power
supply as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of the chassis.)
6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case lights up. For ATX power
supplies, the system LED lights up when you press theATX power switch. If the
monitor complies with “green” standards or if it has a power standby feature,the
monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and green after the system
LED does. The system then runs the power-on tests. While the tests are running,
the BIOS beeps or additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see
anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the system
may have failed a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or
call your retailer for assistance.

7. At power on, hold down <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup. Follow the instructions
in 4. BIOS SETUP.
* Powering Off the computer: You must first exit or shut down the system before
switching off the power switch. ForATX power supplies, you can press theATX
power switch after exiting or shutting down the operating system. If you use
Windows 9X, click the Start button, click Shut Down, then click Shut down
the computer? The power supply should turn off after Windows shuts down.
NOTE: The message “You can now safely turn off your computer” does not
appear when shutting down with ATX power supplies.

Managing and Updating Your BIOS
Upon First Use of the Computer System
It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS along
with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in
case you need to reinstall the BIOS later. AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer
utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable
flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode. To determine
the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code
displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers
represent a newer BIOS file.
1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk. DO
NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk.
2. Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CD-ROM
drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created.
NOTE: AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS prompt
within Windows and does not work with certain memory drivers that may be
loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot
using a floppy disk.
3. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk.
NOTE: BIOS setup must specify “Floppy” as the first item in the boot sequence.
4. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH.
IMPORTANT! If the word “unknown” appears after Flash Memory:, the
memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS
and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

5. Select 1. Save Current BIOS to File from the Main menu and press <Enter>.
The Save Current BIOS To File screen appears.
6. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX and then press
<Enter>.

Updating BIOS Procedures
WARNING! Update the BIOS only if you have problems with the motherboard
and you know that the new BIOS revision will solve your problems. Careless
updating can result in your motherboard having more problems!
1. Download an updated ASUS BIOS file from the Internet (WWW or FTP) (see
ASUS CONTACT INFORMATION on page 3 for details) and save to the boot
floppy disk you created earlier.
2. Boot from the floppy disk.
3. At the “A:\” prompt, type AFLASH and then press <Enter>.
4. At the Main Menu, type 2 then press <Enter>. The Update BIOS Including
Boot Block and ESCD screen appears.
5. Type the filename of your new BIOS and the path, for example, A:\XXX-
XX.XXX, then press <Enter>.
NOTE: To cancel this operation, press <Enter>.
6. When prompted to confirm the BIOS update, press Y to start the update.

HARDWARE SETUP
7. The utility starts to program the new BIOS information into the Flash ROM.
The boot block is updated automatically only when necessary. This minimizes
the possibilities of boot problems in case of update failures. When the
programming is done, Flashed Successfully appears.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
WARNING! If you encounter problems while updating the new BIOS, DO NOT
turn off the system because this may cause boot problems. Just repeat the process,
and if the problem still persists, load the original BIOS file you saved to the boot
disk. If the Flash Memory Writer utility is not able to successfully update a
complete BIOS file, the system may not boot. If this happens, call the ASUS
service center for support.
