Installation of CPU

The mainboard is equipped with a CPU-SLOT1 slot to accommodate the KP6

CPU card and Intel Pentium



II CPU or above. The default clock rate setting for

KP6 CPU card is 150MHz and Pentium



II CPU is 233MHz depend on autodetect from BIOS. But there is an advantage way for setup menu. The details please refer the chapter 3 “Award BIOS Setup”.

Hardware Setup 2-9

Installation of Memory

The mainboard provides four 72-pin SIMM and two 168-pin DIMM sites for memory expansion. The SIMM socket supports 1Mx32(4MB), 2Mx32(8MB),

4Mx32(16MB), 8Mx32(32MB), 16Mx32(64MB), and 32Mx32(128MB) single side or double side SIMM modules. The DIMM socket supports 1Mx64(8MB),

2Mx64(16MB), 4Mx64(32MB), 8Mx64(64MB), 16Mx64(128MB), and

32Mx64(256MB) or double side DIMM modules. Minimum memory size is

8MB and Maximum memory size will be 1GB.

There are four banks of Memory on the system board.

In order to create a memory array certain rules must be followed. The following set of rules allows for optimum configurations.

l SIMM modules must be populated in pairs; the memory array is 64 or 72 bits wide. (Without parity or with parity) l Those modules can populated in any order.

l SIMM modules pairs need to populated with the same densities, single or double. For example, Bank0 must populated with identical densities.

However Bank1 can be populated with different densities than Bank0.

l The asymmetrical DRAM modules should be the same type in the same bank.

l The EDO DRAM modules can mixed with standard page mode DRAM module, but must not be in the same bank. For example, Bank0 can be populated with EDO DRAM module. Each bank will be optimized for that type of memory according to the BIOS setup.

The following is the valid memory configuration:

Award BIOS Setup

Chapter 3 Award BIOS

Setup

3-1

All personal computer use a BIOS, or Basic Input / Output system, to provide control for the hardware functions. When system is powered on or reset, the

CPU is reset and BIOS will do the following: l Self-test on CPU.

l Verify ROM BIOS checksum.

l Verify CMOS configuration chip.

l Initialize timer.

l Initialize DMA controller.

l Verify system memory and cache memory.

l Install all BIOS function call utilities.

l Verify/initialize all system configurations, like keyboard, floppy drive, hard disk, initialize EGA or VGA if there is any.

l Hook to the add-in BIOS (include NCR PCI SCSI BIOS) or expansion

BIOS to perform initialization and driver link to the system.

Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in batterybacked RAM so that the setup information is retained when the power is turned off. When the system is powered on or reset, the Award BIOS will display a copyright message on the screen, then the BIOS will perform the system diagnostics test and initialization. When all of the above tests have been passed, the message:

“TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS CTRL-ALT-ESC

OR DEL KEY”

3-2 Chapter 3 is display. If the [Del] key or Ctrl-Alt-Esc is pressed, the screen will be cleared and then the following message will be shown:

Hard Disk size selection

The Award BIOS supports three HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.

NORMAL mode: The maximum HDD size supported by the NORMAL mode is 528 Megabytes.

Award BIOS Setup 3-5

LBA mode: Logical Block Addressing mode is a new HDD accessing method designed to overcome the 528Megabytes limitation. The number of cylinders, heads, and sectors shown in setup may not be the number physically contained in the HDD. During HDD accessing the IDE controller will transform the logical address described by cylinder, head, and sector number into its own physical address inside the HDD. The maximum HDD size supported by the LBA mode is 8.4Gigabytes.

LARGE mode: Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinders without

LBA supports. This access mode tricks DOS (or other OS) that the number of cylinders is less than 1024 by dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is Multiplied by

2. The maximum HDD size supported by LARGE mode is 1

Gigabytes.

Reset PnP Config If you want to clear ESCD data next time you boot up,

Data and ask the BIOS to reset the settings for the Plug &

Play ISA Card and PCI Card, select “Enabled”. But the next time you boot up, this option will automatically be set as “Disabled”.

PCI PnP BIOS

Auto-Config

Choose Enabled (Default) or Disabled. If Enabled the

BIOS will automatically assigns IRQ to the PCI INT#. If

Disabled the PCI INT# will be assigned by the next setup item - “Xth Available IRQ”.

Xth Available IRQ These categories select a IRQ for INT#. There are ten

IRQs options (3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15) for available IRQs.

1st Available IRQ means BIOS will assign this IRQ to first INT found on the PCI slots (the assignment sequence is slot1, 2, 3).

Award BIOS Setup 3-13

PCI IDE Card 2nd Choose Disable or Enable (Default). If the 2nd channel

Channel is not used on the PCI IDE card, switch the option to

“Disable”. Or IRQ15 can not work on the ISA slots.

PCI IDE Card

IRQ Map to

PCI-Auto:

If the BIOS can detect PCI IDE on one of the PCI slots, then the appropriate INT# will be auto-assigned to

IRQ14.

PCI-slotX:

If the BIOS can not detect a PCI IDE card, (because the

PCI IDE card does not support this function) the user needs to manually select the PCI-slot occupied by the

PCI IDE card.

Primary IDE INT#, Secondary IDE INT#:

If the IDE card supports 2 IDE channels, the BIOS needs to assign 2 INT channels for the IDE card. (Don’t select same INT#)

ISA:

This setting assigns no IRQs to the PCI slots. Use this setting with PCI IDE cards that connect IRQ14 and

IRQ15 directly from an ISA slot using a cable from a legacy paddle board.

Note: M/B PCI Slot INT# hardware is designed as below:

“Slot1-INT#A”, “Slot2-INT#B”, and “Slot3-INT#C” are assigned to the same IRQ. (Do not use them at the same time.)

“Slot1-INT#B”, “Slot2-INT#C”, and “Slot3-INT#D” are assigned to the same IRQ. (Do not use them at the same time.)

“Slot1-INT#C”, “Slot2-INT#D”, and “Slot3-INT#A” are assigned to the same IRQ. (Do not use them at the same time.)

“Slot1-INT#D”, “Slot2-INT#A”, and “Slot3-INT#B” are assigned to the same IRQ. (Do not use them at the same time.)

Load BIOS Defaults

BIOS Defaults indicates the values required by the system for the minimum performance. Choose this item and following message appears:

“Load BIOS Defaults (Y/N)? N”

To use the BIOS defaults, change the prompt to “Y” and press <Enter>.

Load Setup Defaults

Setup Defaults indicates the values of system parameters which will give the best performance. Choose this item and the following message appears:

“Load Setup Defaults (Y/N)? N”

To use the Setup defaults, change the prompt to “Y” and press <Enter>.

Setting Password

This Main Menu item lets you configure the system so that a password is required every time the system boots or an attempt is made to enter the Setup program. Change the password as follows:

1. Choose “PASSWORD SETTING” in the Main Menu and press <Enter>.

The following message appears:

“Enter Password:”

2. Enter a password and press <Enter>.

(If you do not wish to use the password function, you can just press <Enter> and a “Password disabled” message appears.)

3. After you enter your password, the following message appears prompting you to confirm the new password:

“Confirm Password:”

4. Re-enter your password and then Press <ESC> to exit to the Main Menu.

Important: If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access the system is to set the CMOS RAM discharge jumper to clear the

CMOS RAM. All setup information is lost and you must run the

BIOS setup program again.

IDE HDD Auto Detection

The BIOS automatically detects the hard disk type and configures the

STANDARD CMOS SETUP accordingly.
