Attenzione: Non dimenticare di impostare la corretta frequenza BUS e multiplier per il processore.
Installazione della scheda madre sul telaio
Dopo avere installato il processore sulla scheda madre si può iniziare a fissare la scheda madre sul telaio.
Innanzi tutto è necessario fissare la scheda madre al telaio. La maggior parte dei telai ha una base sulla quale sono presenti diversi fori di montaggio che permettono di fissare in modo accurato la scheda madre e, allo stesso tempo, di prevenire corto circuiti. Impiegare le borchie o gli spaziatori attaccati al telaio per fissare la scheda madre.
Installazione della memoria di sistema
Questa scheda madre fornisce 4 slot d’espansione di memoria DDR DIMM da 184 pin.
Inserire il modulo DDR DIMM nello slot d’espansione come mostrato dell’illustrazione- Notare come il modulo è imperniato nella presa. Ciò assicura che ci sia un unico modo per collegare il modulo DDR
DIMM. Premere con fermezza il modulo DDR DIMM nello slot DDR DIMM, assicurandosi che il modulo sia inserito completamente nello slot DDR DIMM.
Per questi moduli si suggerisce di inserire con ordine i chip elettronici da DIMM1 a DIMM4.
Per completare l’installazione dell’hardware del sistema, bisogna collegare tutti i cavi delle attrezzature necessarie ai relativi collettori e connettori sulla scheda madre.
Connettori, collettori, interruttori ed adattatori
All’interno della copertura di ogni computer ci sono diversi cavi e prese che devo essere collegati. Questi cavi e prese sono solitamente collegati uno ad uno ai connettori situati sulla scheda madre. E’ necessario prestare particolare attenzione a qualunque orientamento del collegamento che possono avere i cavi e, se necessario, notare la posizione del primo pin del connettore. Si installeranno alcuni adattatori per particolari necessità quali l’adattatore SCSI, AGP, eccetera. Quando si installano gli adattatori sugli slot della scheda madre, si ricorda di fissarli con le viti anche sul pannello posteriore del telaio.
Per informazioni dettagliate si prega di fare riferimento alla versione integrale del Manuale utente.
Collegamento dei connettori d’alimentazione ai connettori ATX
Ricordarsi che è necessario spingere con fermezza fino in fondo il connettore della sorgente d’alimentazione ATX al connettore ATX, assicurando così un buon collegamento.
Impostazione BIOS
Quando l’hardware è stato installato completamente, accendere il computer ed andare alla voce BIOS per impostare i parametri del processore. Per informazioni dettagliate si prega di fare riferimento alla versione integrale del Manuale utente.

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or damaged.
2-1. Install The Motherboard
Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow motherboard to be securely attached on and at the same time, prevented from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the chassis base:
1. use with studs
2. or use with spacers
In principle, the best way to attach the board is to use with 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.
ATTENTION: 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.

Option 2
Delete RAID set
This item allows you to remove a RAID Array on this onboard Serial ATA RAID controller.
NOTE: After you have made and confirmed this selection, all the data stored in the hard disk will be lost. (The entire partition configuration will be deleted too.)
Option 3
Rebuild Mirrored set
This item allows you to rebuild only “Mirrored”
RAID set.
You need to check which hard disk is the source disk and which one is the destination disk when you decide to rebuild mirrored RAID set.
Option 4
Resolve Conflicts
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive connection information (Primary Channel, Secondary
Channel).
If, after a disk failure, the replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system), it may have conflicting metadata, specifically in reference to the drive connection information. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt.
In order for the RAID set to function properly, this old metadata must be first overwritten with the new metadata. To resolve this, select
“Resolve Conflict”. The correct metadata, including the correct drive connection information, will then be written to the replacement disk.
NOTE: For more information on RAID function, please refer to the RAID Management
Software enclosed in the CD that came packed with this motherboard.

The procedure illustrated here is based on the model SE6 as an example; all other models follow the same process.
1. First, find out the model name and version number of this motherboard. You can find a bar-code sticker typed with model name and version number on motherboard PCB.
2. Find out the current BIOS ID. For example, in this case, the current BIOS ID is [ 00 ]. If you already have the latest BIOS, no any update action is necessary. If your BIOS is not the latest BIOS, go on to the next step.
3. Download the correct BIOS file from our Web site.
4. Double click the downloaded file, it will self-extract to [ awdflash.exe
] and [* .bin
] files.
5. Make a bootable floppy disk and copy the necessary files onto it. You may make a floppy disk bootable either in Explorer or in the DOS prompt mode.
[c:\]format a: /s
After formatting and transferring the system to the floppy disk, copy two files into it. One is the BIOS flash utility [ awdflash.exe
] and the other is the decompressed BIOS binary [* .bin
] file.

7. Flash the BIOS in pure DOS mode.
A:\>awdflash se6_sw.bin /cc /cd /cp /py /sn /cks /r_
Note
•
We strongly recommend you use the above parameters following ‘awdflash’ to flash your BIOS.
DO NOT just type “ awdflash se6_sw.bin
” without the above parameters following the “ .bin
” file.
•
The Award flash utility cannot be completed under the Windows environment. It must be done in a pure DOS environment.
•
You should check which BIOS file is to be used with your motherboard, don’ flash with the wrong BIOS file. Otherwise, it may cause system malfunctions.
•
Please do not use the Award flash memory writer version earlier than Version 7.52C to flash the
BIOS. Otherwise, it may cause flash fail or un-anticipated problems.
•
During the updating, the progress will be measured by white blocks. The last four blue blocks of the flash update process represent the “BIOS boot block”. The BIOS boot block is used to prevent the BIOS from becoming corrupt during programming. It should not be programmed every time.
If this “BIOS boot block” remains intact when the BIOS becomes corrupt during programming, then you can boot from a bootable floppy next time you boot your computer. This allows you to flash your BIOS again without the need for technical support from the dealer.

Installation Guide for Suspend to RAM H-1
Appendix H. Installation Guide for Suspend to RAM
Suspend To RAM (STR) is a cost-effective, optimal implementation of the ACPI 1.0 specification. The
ACPI specification defines the S3 sleep state, in which all system context is lost except system memory.
CPU, cache, and chip set context are lost in this state. Hardware maintains memory context and restores some CPU and L2 configuration context.
The STR function enables a PC to achieve the S3 state during idle periods, then quick “wake up” and retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep. When idle, STR-enabled systems consume only a small fraction of the power used for full operation. Instead of shutting down the system to save power when not in use and then having to reboot later, users can let the STR function take over and not have to worry about using power to run all the electronics, fans and disks. When needed, a PC with STR function can restore all applications and features to an operational state within a few seconds.
The following description will tell you how to install the STR function and to use it.
After the operating system had been installed successfully, reboot your computer, you can see these ACPI items show up in the “Device Manager” menu by entering Start Settings Control Panel System
System Properties Hardware :
User’s Manual
H-2
How to use the STR function:
There are two ways to put your system into STR mode:
Method 1: Select [Stand by] in the [Turn Off
Computer…] area.

Appendix I. Troubleshooting (Need Assistance?)
Motherboard Troubleshooting:
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 systems hang 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 the system failed to boot up and nothing was displayed on the screen after I did some over-clocking or non-standard settings inside the BIOS? Is the motherboard dead? Do I need to return it to where I bought from or go through an RMA process?
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 make the motherboard working again. No need to bother returning the motherboard to where you bought 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 connect it back.
Press and hold the <Insert> key on the keyboard, press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works, loose the <Insert> key and hit <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup page to do 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 in the meantime of discharging the CMOS data, pull out
ATX power connectors from motherboard and remove the button battery during CMOS discharging.

I-2 Appendix I
Q: How can I get a quick response to my request for technical support?
A: Be sure to follow the guidelines as stated in the “Technical Support Form” section of this manual.
If you have a problem during operation, in order to help our technical support personnel quickly determine the problem with your motherboard and give you the answers you need, before filling in the technical support form, eliminate any peripheral that is not related to the problem, and indicate it on the form. Fax this form to your dealer or to the company where you bought the hardware in order to benefit from our technical support. (You can refer to the examples given below)
Example 1:
With a system including: motherboard (with CPU, DRAM, COAST...) HDD, CD-ROM, FDD, VGA
CARD, MPEG CARD, SCSI CARD, SOUND CARD, etc. After the system is assembled, if you cannot boot up, check the key components of the system using the procedure described below. First remove all interface cards except the VGA card and try to reboot.
If you still cannot boot up: Try installing another brand/model VGA card and see if the system will start. If it still does not start, note the VGA card model, motherboard model, Bios identification number, CPU on the technical support form (refer to main instructions), and describe the problem in the problem description space provided.
If you can boot up: Insert the interface cards you have removed back into the system, one by one and try to start the system each time you insert a card, until the system will not start. Keep the VGA card and the interface card that caused the problem inserted on the motherboard, remove any other cards or peripheral, and start again. If you still cannot start, note the information related to both cards in the add-on Card space provided, and don’t forget to indicate the motherboard model, version,
BIOS identification number, CPU (refer to main instructions), and give a description of the problem.
Example 2:
With a system including the motherboard (with CPU, DRAM, COAST...) HDD, CD-ROM, FDD,
VGA CARD, LAN CARD, MPEG CARD, SCSI CARD, SOUND CARD, after assembly and after having installed the Sound Card Driver, when you restart the system, when it runs the Sound Card
Driver, it resets automatically. This problem may be due to the Sound Card Driver. During the
Starting DOS… procedure, press SHIFT (BY-PASS) key, to skip CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT; edit CONFIG.SYS with a text editor, and in function the line that loads the
Sound Card Driver, add a remark REM, in order to disable the Sound Card Driver. See the example below.
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE HIGHSCAN
DOS=HIGH, UMB
FILES=40
BUFFERS=36
REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\PLUGPLAY\DWCFGMG.SYS
LASTDRIVE=Z
Restart the system. If the system starts and does not reset, you can be sure that the problem is due to the Sound Card Driver. Write down the Sound Card model, motherboard model, BIOS identification number on the technical support file (refer to main instructions), and describe the problem in the space provided.
We will show you how to fill the “ Technical Support Form ”.
