Step 1

CPU Installation:

This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4/Celeron, Socket 478 series CPU.

Please follow the step as below to finish CPU installation.

Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.

CPU socket lever up to

90 degree

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the

CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into the socket.

CPU pin 1 and cut edge

- 12 -

3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.

well, it may damage the CPU.

4. The Intel Pentium 4/Celeron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to en sure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been already bundled with your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable through the heatsink/fan in the CPU fan power connector located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hard ware moni toring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow your system to detect the CPU fan's speed. The CPU fan can also run with a 2-pin fan power connector, however, detection of CPU fan's speed is not supported.

Another type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power connector, which does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must be directly connected to the system's power supply unit.

- 13 -

Step 2.

Set Jumpers

This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as any of the following cases:

1. Clear CMOS

For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change the default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with the mainboard configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for optimum system performance. For the advanced users who wish to

3.2 Jumper Settings information on how to configure your mainboard manually.

Step 3

Install DDR SDRAM System Memory

To install memory, insert DDR SDRAM memory module(s) in DIMM slot(s).

Note that DDR SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the DIMM slots unless properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted into the

DIMM slots, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM slot to lock the module in place.

DDR SDRAM

- 14 -

Step 4

Install Internal Peripherals in System Case

Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE/

HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit.

This will greatly facilitate in making the connections to the mainboard described below.

To install IDE & FDD drives, follow this procedure:

1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD, and CD-ROM, have to set jumpers to Master or Slave mode depending on whether you install more than one device of each kind.)

2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable on the back-panel of the internal peripheral devices to the corresponding headers on board. Note that the cable should be oriented with its colored stripe (usually red or magenta) connected to pin#1 both on the mainboard IDE or FDD connector and on the device as well.

3. Connect an available power cable from your system power supply unit to the back-panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power cable is directional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.

- 15 -

Step 5

Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis

1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose correct mounting holes, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.

2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs between the frame of the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the system's chassis and the mainboard, in order to avoid any electrical shorts between the board and the metal frame of the chassis. (If your computer case is already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten screws to attach the mainboard.)

Note: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more attachment points to install mounting studs and then fix the mainboard. If there aren't enough matching holes, then make sure to install at least 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the mainboard.

- 16 -

Step 6

Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB

You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system case and originatinting from the computer's front-panel devices (HDD LED,

Power LED, Reset Switch, or USB devices etc.) These cables serve to connect the front-panel switches, LEDs, and USB connectors to the mainboard's front-panel connectors group (JP6, JP7, JP12), as shown below.

Step 12

First Time System Boot Up

To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your system for the first time.

1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.

2. Turn on the system power.

3. First, you must use the FDISK utility to create a primary partition of the hard disk. You can also add an extended partition if your primary partition does not use all of the available hard disk space. If you choose to add an extended partition, you will have to create one or more logical partitions to occupy all the space available to the extended partition. The

FDISK utility will assign a drive letter (i.e., C:, D:, E:,...) to each partition which will be shown in the FDISK program. After FDISK procedure, reboot your system by using the same system floppy disk.

Note: DOS 6.2x and Windows 95A can only support up to 2.1GB of

HDD partition. If you use the FDISK utility with one of the operating

systems mentioned above, you can only install your HDD into

partitions no larger than 2.1GB each.

4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you've created.

When formatting the primary partition (C:), make sure to use the FORM-

AT C: /S command.

Note: FORMAT C: /S can transfer all the necessary system files into the primary partition of your hard disk. Then, your HDD will become a bootable drive.

5. Install all the necessary drivers for CD-ROM, Mouse, etc.

6. Setup the complete operating system according to your OS installation guide.

- 22 -

Step 13

Install Drivers & Software Components

Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x/

2000/ME/XP/NT operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs.

1. Insert the FB51 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The autorun program will display the drivers main installation window on screen.

2. Choose "Install Intel Chipset Driver" and complete it.

3. Choose "Install Intel Ultra ATA Driver" and complete it.

4. Choose "Install VGA Device Driver" and complete it.

5. Choose "Install Audio Driver" and complete it.

6. Choose "Install USB2.0 Driver" and complete it.

7. Choose "Install LAN Driver" and complete it.

8. Exit from the autorun drivers installation program.

] Please refer to section Chapter 4 Software Utility

3.2 Jumper Settings

Several hardware settings are made through the use of mini jumpers to connect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner of each jumper, you just find the location with a white right angle which stands for pin 1#. There are several types of pin 1# shown as below:

3-pin and multi (>3) pin jumpers shown as following:

Pin #1 to the left:

Pin #1 on the top:

Pin #1 to the right:

Pin #1 on the bottom:

Jumpers with two pins are shown as for Close [On] or for

Open [Off]. To Short jumper pins, simply place a plastic mini jumpers over the desired pair of pins.

1. Do not remove the mainboard from its antistatic protective packaging until you are ready to install it.

2. Carefully hold the mainboard by its edges and avoid touching its components. When putting the mainboard down, place it on top of its

original packaging film, on an even surface, and components side up.

3. Wear an antistatic wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) whenever handling this equipment.

Advanced Chipset Features

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It states that these items should never need to be altered.

The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. If you discovered that data was being lost while using your system, you might consider making any changes.

DRAM Timing Selectable

The value in this field depends on performance parameters of the installed memory chips(DRAM). Don't change the value from the factory setting unless you install new memory that has a different performance rating than the original DRAMs.

Ø The Choice: Manual or BySPD

CAS Latency Time

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of

CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Don't change this field from the default value specified by the system designer.

Ø The Choice: 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3.

Active to Precharge Delay

The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for DRAM to accumulate its charge before refresh.

Ø The Choice: 7, 6, or 5.

- 62 -

DRAM RAS # to CAS # Delay

This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, and you can use it when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Faster performance is gained in high speed, more stable performance, in low speed. This field is applied only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

Ø The Choice: 3 or 2.

DRAM RAS # Precharge

If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be-incompleted, and the

DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field is applied only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

Ø The Choice: 3 or 2.

Turbo Mode

This item allows you to enable or disable the Turbo Mode.

Ø The Choice: Enabled or Disabled.

Memory Frequency For

This item is select SDRAM Frequency.

Ø The Choice: DDR200, DDR266, DDR333, or AUTO.

PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes the configuration of PCI bus system. PCI or

Personal Computer Interconnection is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at the speed CPU itself keeps when CPU communicating with its own special components.

This section covers some very technical items, and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data

Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit from Setup if you have installed a new device or software and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot.

Ø The choice: Enabled or Disabled .

The Award Plug-and-Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot and Plug-and-Play compatible devices.

However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug-and-Play operating system such as Windows 95.

If you set this field to "manual" , choose specific resources by going into each of the sub-menu that follows this field (a sub-menu is proceeded by a ">").

Ø The choice: Auto(ESCD) or Manual.

IRQ Resources

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

PC Health Status

CPU Fan AutoGuardian

This SMART Bios enabled 3 phase Variable Fan Speed and CPU temperature Control feature.


This feature is controlled via Bios, in which the CPU fan rotational speed sensing /control is governed by CPU temperature setting preselected in Bios.

By default, "CPU Fan AutoGuardian" feature under PC Health Status is enabled.

Note:

sure both fan connectors are plug into the correct fan connector

designations on the mainboard.

Fan Speed Up When CPU Temp

Enabled 3 phase smart control to the Selected fan. This feature ranges from 48 0 C to 80 0 C, in an increment of 4 0 C. The default temperature is at 72 0 C.

Ø The choice: 48 0 C, 52 0 C, 56 0 C, 60 0 C, 64 0 C, 68 0 C, 72 0 C, 76 0 C,

80 0 C.

- 74 -

Take our default Setting for example, 1st and 2nd phase Variable Fan

Speed and CPU temperature Control is as defined by "Fan Speed Up

When CPU Temp". If actual CPU temp (reported by BIOS) stays below

72 0 C then CPU fan speed will run at a quiet mode approximately 2000 RPM.

But when the actual CPU temp goes above the pre-selected 72 0 C temperature threshold, then CPU fan speed will automatically engage normal mode the Smart Bios feature, this increase of fan rotation speed will effectively cool down the CPU temperature. And when the CPU temperature drops back below the 72 0 C temperature threshold, CPU fan speed will again automatically shift back to the quiet mode (1st phase) of about

2000 RPM in order to reduce fan noise level.

Fail-safe mode temperature Control is as predefined at 80 0 C. Where in the event of system and CPU operating under extreme working conditions, and if

CPU temperature is raised above 80 0 C then the Smart Bios will engage the CPU fan in Fail-safe mode to rotate at about 3500 RPM. Please note that the higher fan speed, the fan cooler will be become slightly noiseier in order to compensate for the increase in CPU temperature.

Warning:

AutoGuardian feature, if you wish to use other fan cooler,

allowing the fan to run at its default speed.
