Guida all’installazione veloce Scheda madre serie KD7
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. La memoria
minima è di 64 MB, quella massima è di 3.5 GB DDR SDRAM.
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 ATX1/ATX2
Ricordarsi che è necessario spingere con fermezza fino in fondo il connettore della sorgente
d’alimentazione ATX al connettore ATX1/ATX2, 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.

Introduction
1-3
Supports Wake On LAN, Modem, but your ATX power supply 5V standby power must be
able to provide at least a 720mA current capacity. Otherwise, the functions may not work
normally.
For KD7-RAID: PCI slot 5 shares IRQ signals with the HPT 372 IDE controller (supports
Ultra ATA/133). The driver for HPT 372 IDE controller supports IRQ sharing with other
PCI devices. But if you install a PCI card that doesn’t allow IRQ sharing with other devices
into PCI slot 5, you may encounter some problems. Furthermore, if your Operating System
doesn’t allow peripheral devices to share IRQ signals with each other, such as Windows® NT
for example, you can’t install a PCI card into PCI slot 5.
For KD7-RAID: HPT 372 IDE controller is designed to support high-speed and high
performance mass storage devices. Do not connect non-disk devices in ATA/ATAPI interfaces,
such as CD-ROM, to HPT 372 IDE connector (IDE3 & IDE4).
This motherboard supports the standard bus speeds of 66MHz/100MHz/133MHz/166MHz
that are used by specific PCI, processor and chipset specifications. Exceeding these standard
bus speeds is not guaranteed due to the specific component specifications.
The Serial ATA controller only supports Ultra DMA/ATA100 or higher hard drive. Do not
use hard drives under this specification, or it won’t work.
Specifications and information contained in this manual are subject to change without notice.

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.
2-2. Install CPU and Heatsink
Note
•
Installing a heatsink and cooling fan is necessary for heat to dissipate from your processor.
Failing to install these items may result in overheating and processor damage.
•
The AMD Socket A processor will produce a lot of heat while operating, so you need to use a
large heat sink that is especially designed for the AMD socket A processor. Otherwise, it may
result in overheating and processor damage.
•
If your processor fan and its power cable are not installed properly, never plug the ATX power
cable into the motherboard. This can prevent possible processor damage.
•
Please refer to your processor installation manual or other documentation with your processor for
detailed installation instructions.

If you want to connect two hard drives together through one
IDE channel, you must configure the second drive to Slave
mode after the first Master drive. Please refer to the drives’
documentation for jumper settings. The first drive connected
to IDE1 is usually referred to as “Primary Master”, and the
second drive as “Primary Slave”. The first drive connected
to IDE2 is referred to as “Secondary Master” and the second
drive as “Secondary Slave”.
Keep away from connecting one legacy slow speed drive,
like CD-ROM, together with another hard drive on the same
IDE channel; this will drop your integral system performance.

BIOS Setup
3-1
Chapter 3. BIOS Setup
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory chip on the motherboard. This program will not be
lost when you turn the computer off. This program is also referred to as the boot program. It is the only
channel the hardware circuit has to communicate with the operating system. Its main function is to
manage the setup of the motherboard and interface card parameters, including simple parameters such as
time, date, hard disk drive, as well as more complex parameters such as hardware synchronization, device
operating mode, CPU SoftMenu™ III features and setup of CPU speed. The computer will operate
normally, or will operate at its best, only if all of these parameters are correctly configured through the
BIOS.
Don’t change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you fully understand their meanings and
consequences: The parameters inside the BIOS are used to setup the hardware synchronization or the
device-operating mode. If the parameters are not correct, they will produce errors, the computer will crash,
and sometimes you will not even be able to boot the computer after it has crashed. We recommend that
you do not change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you are very familiar with them. If you are not
able to boot your computer anymore, please refer to the section of “CMOS Memory Clearing Header”
in Chapter 2.
When you start the computer, the BIOS program controls it. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic
test called POST (Power On Self Test) for all of the necessary hardware. It then configures the parameters
of the hardware synchronization, and detects all of the hardware. Only when these tasks are completed
does it give up control of the computer to the next level, which is the operating system (OS). Since the
BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system
stability, and in ensuring that your system performs at its best. After the BIOS has achieved the
auto-diagnostic and auto-detection operations, it will display the following message:
PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP
The message will be displayed for three to five seconds, if you press the <Del> key, you will access the
BIOS Setup menu. At that moment, the BIOS will display the following screen:
Figure 3-1. CMOS Setup Utility
NOTE: Because the BIOS menu is being constantly improved to increase stability and performance, the
BIOS screens in this manual may not completely match your BIOS version. All the default settings in this
chapter are taken from the Load Optimized Defaults settings, which are different from those taken from
Load Fail-Safe Defaults.
User’s Manual
3-2
Chapter 3
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain these options
step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function
keys you may use here:
•
Press Esc to quit the BIOS Setup.
•
Press ↑ ↓ ← → (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to
confirm or to modify.
•
Press F10 when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these parameters and to
exit the BIOS Setup menu.
•
Press Page Up/Page Down or +/- keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for the
active option.
CMOS Data: Maybe you have heard somebody saying that his or her CMOS DATA was lost. What is
the CMOS? Is it important? The CMOS is the memory used to store the BIOS parameters that you have
configured. This memory is passive. You can read its data, and you can also store data in it. But this
memory has to be powered by a battery in order to avoid any loss of its data when the computer is turned
off. Since you may have to change the CMOS battery when it is out of power, and if doing so you will
lose all CMOS data, we recommend that you write down all the parameters of your hardware, or to put a
label with these parameters on your hard disk.
3-1. CPU Setup [SoftMenu™ III]
The CPU can be setup through a programmable switch (CPU SoftMenu™ III) that replaces the
traditional manual hardware configuration. This feature allows the user to more easily complete the
installation procedures. You can install the CPU without configuring any jumpers or switches. The CPU
must be setup according to its specifications.

Normally, we do not recommend that you use the “User Define” option to setup CPU speed and
multiplier factors. This option is for setup of future CPUs whose specifications are still unknown. The
specifications of all present CPUs are included in the default settings. Unless you are very familiar with
all CPU parameters, it is very easy to make mistakes when you define the external clock and the
multiplier factor by yourself. When you complete the setting in this option, the POST will not check if the
actual running speed is the same as the one you set.
User Define:
WARNING: The wrong settings of the multiplier and external clock in certain circumstances may cause
CPU damage. Setting the working frequency higher than the PCI chipset or processor specs, may cause
abnormal memory module functioning, system hangs, hard disk drive data lose, abnormal functioning of
the VGA card, or abnormal functioning with other add-on cards. Using non-specification settings for your
CPU is not the intention of this explanation. These should be used for engineering testing, not for normal
applications.
If you use non-specification settings for normal operation, your system may not be stable, and may affect
system reliability. Also, we do not guarantee the stability and compatibility for settings that are not within
specification, and any damage of any elements on the motherboard or peripherals, is not our
responsibility.
CPU FSB Clock (MHz):
This item sets the CPU Front Side Bus speed from 100 to 250. Due to the specification limit of the CPU
you installed, the speed you set over its standard bus speed is supported, but not guaranteed.
Ratio (FSB:AGP:PCI):
This item sets the ratio among the clock of FSB, AGP, and PCI. Take the 4:2:1ratio for instance, if the
FSB clock is 133MHz (133 x 4/4), the AGP clock will be 66MHz (133 x 2/4), and the PCI clock will be
33MHz (133 x 1/4).
Multiplier Factor:
This item sets the multiplier factor for the CPU you installed.
NOTE: Some processors might have this multiplier factor locked, so there is no way to choose a higher
multiplier factor.
Enhance For Benchmark:
This option improves your processor and system performance.
Solution in case of booting problem due to invalid clock setup:
Normally, if the CPU clock setup is wrong, you will not be able to boot. In this case, turn the system off
then on again. The CPU will automatically use its standard parameters to boot. You can then enter the
BIOS Setup again and set up the CPU clock. If you can’t enter the BIOS setup, you must try turning the
system on a few times (3~4 times) or press <INSERT> when turning on, and the system will
automatically use its standard parameters to boot. You can then enter BIOS SETUP again and set up the
new parameters.
When you change your CPU:
This motherboard has been designed in such a way that you can turn the system on after having inserted a
CPU in the socket without having to configure any jumpers or DIP switches. If you change your CPU,
normally you just have to turn off the power supply, change the CPU and then set up the CPU parameters
User’s Manual

Chapter 3
through SoftMenu™ III. However, if the new CPU is slower than the old one (and is the same brand and
type), we offer you two methods to successfully complete the CPU change operation.
Method 1: Setup up the CPU for the lowest speed for its brand. Turn the power supply off and change the
CPU. Then turn the system on again, and set up the CPU parameters through SoftMenu™ III.
Method 2: Since you have to open the computer case when you change the CPU, it would be a good idea
to use the CMOS clearing jumper to erase the parameters of the original CPU and to enter BIOS Setup to
set up CPU parameters again.
ATTENTION: After setting up the parameters and leaving the BIOS SETUP, and having verified that
the system can be booted, do not press the Reset button or turn off the power supply. Otherwise the BIOS
will not read correctly, the parameters will fail and you must enter SoftMenu™ III again to set up the
parameters all over again.
Power Supply:
This option allows you to switch between Default and User Define voltages.
Default: The system will detect the CPU type and select the proper voltage automatically. When it is
enabled, the option “CPU Core Voltage” will show the current voltage setting that is defined by the CPU
and this will not be changeable. We recommend using this CPU default setting and not changing it unless
the current CPU type and voltage setting can not be detected or is not correct.
User Define: This option lets the user select the voltage manually. You can change values of the “CPU
Core Voltage” and “DDR Voltage” option lists by using the arrow up and arrow down keys.
This option allows you to switch between Default and User Define voltages.
CPU Fast Command Decode:
Two options are available: at Normal to Fast or at Fast to Normal. This will depends which state
you choose. If you set this item from “at Fast” to “to Normal”, when you reboot the system and finish
the POST process, the state will change to your new setting (Here’s to Normal). After that, if you go to
view the BIOS menu again, you will see this item shows “at Normal”, if you press the <Enter> key,
you’ll see the two options: at Normal to Fast, and the default setting is at Normal. If you set this item
from “at Normal” to “to Fast”, and go through the same process we mentioned before, you will see this
item shows “at Fast”, if you press the <Enter> key, you’ll see the two options: at Fast to Normal, and
the default setting is at Fast. You can select item if you want CPU decode address is faster or normal
speed. We suggest you choose to Normal for greatest stability. Should you want increased performance
then you can select to Fast. You have to set the jumper on the motherboard called “CROM” pin 1 and pin
2 short, then you can see this item appear in this menu.

If auto detection is successful, the correct values will be shown in the remaining items of this menu.
User’s Manual

Chapter 3
NOTE: A new IDE HDD must be first formatted, otherwise it can not read/write. The basic step in using
a HDD is to make a HDD low-level format, then run FDISK, and then FORMAT the drive. Most current
HDDs have already been subjected to low-level format at the factory, so you can probably skip this
operation. Remember though, the primary IDE HDD must have its partition set to active within the
FDISK procedure.
If you are using an old HDD that is already formatted, auto detection can not detect the correct parameters.
You may need to do a low-level format or set the parameters manually, and then check if the HDD is
working.
IDE Primary Master:
Three settings are available: Auto, Manual and None. If you choose Auto, the BIOS will automatically
check what kind of hard disk you are using. If you want to set the HDD parameters yourself, make sure
you fully understand the meaning of the parameters, and be sure to refer to the manual provided by the
HDD manufacturer to get the settings right.
Access Mode:
Since old operating systems were only able to support HDDs with capacities no bigger than 528MB, any
hard disk with more than 528MB was unusable. AWARD BIOS features a solution to this problem: you
can, according to your operating system, choose four operating modes: NORMAL LBA LARGE
Auto.
The HDD auto detection option in the sub-menu will automatically detect the parameters of your hard
disk and the mode supported.
Auto: Lets the BIOS detect your HDD access mode and make the decisions.
CHS (Normal mode): Standard normal mode supports hard disks of up to 528MB or less. This mode
directly uses positions indicated by Cylinders (CYLS), Heads, and Sectors to access data.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode: The earlier LBA mode can support HDD capacities of up to
8.4GB, and this mode uses a different method to calculate the position of disk data to be accessed. It
translates Cylinders (CYLS), Heads and Sectors into a logical address where data is located. The
Cylinders, Heads, and Sectors displayed in this menu do not reflect the actual structure of the hard disk.
They are just reference values used to calculate actual positions. Currently, all high capacity hard disks
support this mode and that is why we recommend you use this mode. Currently, the BIOS can support
the INT 13h extension function, enabling the LBA mode to support hard disk drive capacities exceeding
8.4GB.
Large Mode: When the number of cylinders (CYLs) of the hard disk exceeds 1024 and DOS is not able
to support it, or if your operating system does not support LBA mode, you should select this mode.
Capacity:
This item auto displays your HDD size. Note that this size is usually slightly greater than the size given
by a disk-checking program of a formatted disk.
NOTE: All the items below are available when you set the item “Primary IDE Master” to “Manual”.
Cylinder:
When disks are placed directly above one another along the shaft, the circular vertical “slice” consisting
of all the tracks located in a particular position is called a cylinder. You can set the number of cylinders
for a HDD. The minimum number you can enter is 0, the maximum number you can enter is 65535.

This menu allows you to set up the power management in order to reduce power consumption.
Figure 3-8. Power Management Setup Menu
If you want ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) functions to work normally, you should
notice two things. One is your operating system must support ACPI. The second thing is that all devices
and add-on cards in your system must fully support ACPI, both hardware and software (drivers). If you
want to know if your devices or add-on cards support ACPI or not, please contact the device or add-on
card manufacturer for more information. If you want to know more about ACPI specifications, please go
to the address below for more detailed information: http://www.acpi.info/
ACPI requires an ACPI-aware operating system. ACPI features include:
•
Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) and APM functionality normally contained
in the BIOS.
•
Power management control of individual devices, add-in cards (some add-in cards may require an
ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives.
•
A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power off the computer.
•
Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 3-1).
•
Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch. Table 3-2 describes the system states based
on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how ACPI is configured with an
ACPI-aware operating system.
System States and Power States:
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating
system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and knowledge of how
devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating
system uses information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a low-power
state.

ACPI Suspend Type:
Three options are available: S1 (PowerOn-Suspend) S3 (Suspend-To-RAM) Auto. The default
setting is S1 (PowerOn-Suspend). POS is “Power On Suspend”, and STR is “Suspend To RAM”.
Generally, ACPI has six states: System S0 state, S1 state, S2 state, S3 state, S4 state, S5 state. S1 and S3
states are described below:
The S1 (POS) State (POS means Power On Suspend):
While the system is in the S1 sleeping state, its behavior is as described below:
•
The processor is not executing instructions. The processor’s complex context is maintained.
•
Dynamic RAM context is maintained.
•
Power Resources are in a state compatible with the system S1 state. All Power Resources that
supply a System Level reference of S0 are in the OFF state.
•
Devices states are compatible with the current Power Resource states. Only devices which solely
reference Power Resources which are in the ON state for a given device state can be in that device
state. In all other cases, the device is in the D3 (off) state.
•
Devices that are enabled to wake the system and that can do so from their current device state can
initiate a hardware event which transitions the system state to S0. This transition causes the
processor to continue execution where it left off.
To transition into the S1 state, the operating software does not have to flush the processor's cache.
User’s Manual
3-24
Chapter 3
The S3 (STR) State (STR means Suspend to RAM):
The S3 state is logically lower then the S2 state and is assumed to conserve more power. The behavior of
this state is defined as follows:
•
Processor is not executing instructions. The processor complex context is not maintained.
•
Dynamic RAM context is maintained.
•
Power Resources are in a state compatible with the system S3 state. All Power Resources that
supply a System Level reference of S0, S1, or S2 are in the OFF state.
•
Devices states are compatible with the current Power Resource states. Only devices which solely
reference Power Resources which are in the ON state for a given device state can be in that device
state. In all other cases, the device is in the D3 (off) state.
•
Devices that are enabled to wake the system and that can do so from their current device state can
initiate a hardware event which transitions the system state to S0. This transition causes the
processor to begin execution at its boot location. The BIOS performs initialization of core functions
as required to exit an S3 state and passes control to the firmware resume vector. Please see the
ACPI Specification Rev. 1.0 book section 9.3.2 for more details on BIOS initialization.
From the software point of view, this state is functionally the same as the S2 state. The operational
difference can be that some Power Resources that could be left ON in the S2 state might not be available
to the S3 state. As such, additional devices can be required to be in logically lower D0, D1, D2, or D3
state for S3 than S2. Similarly, some device wake events can function in S2 but not S3.
Because the processor context can be lost while in the S3 state, the transition to the S3 state requires that
the operating software flush all dirty cache to DRAM.
Above information for system S1 were refer to ACPI Specification Rev. 1.0.
Power On Function:
Four options are available: Hot Key Password Mouse Button Only. The default setting is Button

automatically be set as Disabled.
NOTE: The ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) contains the IRQ, DMA, I/O port, memory
information of the system. This is a specification and a feature specific to the Plug & Play BIOS.
Resources Controlled By:
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt as one of the following types,
depending on the type of device using the interrupt:
Legacy devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification require a specific interrupt. PCI PnP
devices comply with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for the PCI or legacy bus architecture.
Two options are available: Auto (ESCD) Manual. The default setting is Auto (ESCD). The Award
Plug and Play BIOS has the capability to automatically configure all boot and Plug and Play compatible
devices. If you select Auto (ESCD), all of the interrupt request (IRQ) fields become unselectable, as the
BIOS automatically assigns them.
IRQ Resources:
If you have trouble in assigning the interrupt resources automatically, you can select Manual to set which
IRQ is assigned to which PCI Device or Reserved it. See the screen shot below.

Eleven options are available: Auto, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15. Default setting is Auto. This item
allows the system to automatically specify the IRQ number for the device installed on PCI slots. This
means that the system can specify the fixed IRQ number for the device installed on the PCI slots (or
onboard PCI devices). This is a useful function for when you want to fix the IRQ for a specific device.
For example, if you want to move your hard disk to another computer and don’t want to re-install
Windows® NT or Windows® 2000, you can simply specify the IRQ for the device installed on the new
computer to fit the original computer settings.

and write data in parallel to increase
performance. The Mirrored RAID set creates a
complete backup of your files. Striped and
Mirrored RAID set requires 2 hard disks to do
so.

NOTE: If you want to create a RAID 0 (striping)
array, all the data stored in the hard disks will
first be erased! Please backup the hard disk data
before starting to create the RAID array.
If you want to create a RAID 1 (mirroring) array,
please make sure which hard disk is the source
disk and which one is the destination disk. If
you make a mistake, you may copy the blank
data to the source disk, which will result in both
hard disks becoming blank!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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”.

Q: How to rebuild a mirror array when one of the drives corrupts?
A: You need to delete previous array setting, duplicate the data, and then rebuild a new array setting
(See Appendix G for detailed information).
1.
Press <Ctrl> <H> to setup configuration
2.
Choose item 2 to Delete Array.
3.
Choose item 3 to Rebuild Mirror Array.
4.
Choose sub item 1 to Select Source Disk, the one with data on it.
5.
Choose sub item 2 to Select Target Disk, the brand new and empty one.
6.
Choose sub item 3 to Start Duplication Process.
7.
After duplication process completes, press <Esc> to leave RAID BIOS.
Q: Why I see “NO ROM BASIC SYSTEM HALTED” when booting?
A: There isn’t any activated primary partition in you system. Please use FDISK or any other utilities to
create/set one.
Do & Don’t:
1.
Do always use the same model drives to achieve best quality and performance. Different
firmware has different timing characteristic, thus may somewhat decrease the RAID
performance.
2.
If you have two drives, do connect them on two different channels as master drive please.
3.
When attach drives to the RAID card, do make sure the master/slave jumper settings are correct
please. If there is only one drive on one channel/cable, do set it as master or single drive.
4.
Do always use 80 conductor cables please.
5.
Don’t connect any ATAPI devices (CD-ROM, LS-120, MO, ZIP, removable HD etc.) on the
RAID card please.
6.
For the best performance result, please do use the Ultra DMA 66/100 Hard Disks.

Thank you for choosing ABIT products. ABIT sells all our products through distributors,
resellers and system integrators; we have no direct sales to end-users. Before sending email
for tech support please check with your resellers or integrators if you need any services, they
are the ones who sold you your system and they should know best as to what can be done,
how they serve you is a good reference for future purchases.
We appreciate every customer and would like to provide the best service to you. Providing
fast service to our customers is our top priority. However we receive many phone calls and a
huge amount of email from all over the world. At the present time it is impossible for us to
respond to every single inquiry. Therefore it is quite possible that if you send an email to us
that you may not receive a response.
We have done many compatibility tests and reliability tests to make sure our products have
the best quality and compatibility. In case you need service or technical support, please
understand the constraint we have and always check with the reseller who sold the product
to you first.
To expedite service, we recommend that you follow the procedures outlined below before
contacting us. With your help, we can meet our commitment to provide the best service to the
greatest number of ABIT customers:
1. Check the Manual. It sounds simple but we have taken a lot of care in making a
well-written and thorough manual. It is full of information that doesn't only pertain to
motherboards. The CD-ROM included with your board will have the manual as well as
drivers. If you don't have either one, go to our Program Download Area of the Website or
FTP server.
2. Download latest BIOS, software or drivers. Please go to our Program Download area
on our Website to check to see if you have the latest BIOS. They are developed over
periods of time to fixes bugs or incompatibilities. Also please make sure you have the
latest drivers from your peripheral cards makers!
3. Check the ABIT Technical Terms Guide and FAQ on our Website. We are trying to
expand and make the FAQs more helpful and information rich. Let us know if you have
any suggestions. For hot topics check out our HOT FAQ!

4. Internet Newsgroups. They are a great source of information and many people there can
offer help. ABIT's Internet News group, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit, is an ideal
forum for the public to exchange information and discuss experiences they have had with
ABIT products. Many times you will see that your question has already been asked before.
This is a public Internet news group and it is reserved for free discussions. Here is a list of
some of the more popular ones:
alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips
alt.comp.hardware.overclocking
alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt
alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt
5. Ask your reseller. Your ABIT authorized distributor should be able to provide the fastest
solution to your technical problem. We sell our products through distributors who sell to
resellers and stores. Your reseller should be very familiar with your system configuration
and should be able to solve your problem much more efficiently than we could. After all,
your reseller regards you as an important customer who may purchase more products and
who can urge your friends to buy from him or her as well. They integrated and sold the
system to you. They should know best what your system configuration is and your
problem. They should have reasonable return or refund policies. How they serve you is
also a good reference for your next purchase.
6. Contacting ABIT. If you feel that you need to contact ABIT directly you can send email
to the ABIT technical support department. First, please contact the support team for the
branch office closest to you. They will be more familiar with local conditions and
problems and will have better insight as to which resellers offer what products and
services. Due to the huge number of emails coming in every day and other reasons, such
as the time required for problem reproduction, we will not be able to reply to every email.
Please understand that we are selling through distribution channels and don't have the
resources to serve every end-user. However, we will try to do our best to help every
customer. Please also remember that for many of our technical support team English is a
second language, you will have a better chance of getting a helpful answer if your
question can be understood in the first place. Be sure to use very, simple, concise
language that clearly states the problem, avoid rambling or flowery language and always
list your system components. Here is the contact information for our branch offices:

7. RMA Service. If your system has been working but it just stopped, but you have not
installed any new software or hardware recently, it is likely that you have a defective
component. Please contact the reseller from whom you bought the product. You should be
able to get RMA service there.
8. Reporting Compatibility Problems to ABIT. Because of tremendous number of email
messages we receive every day, we are forced to give greater weight to certain types of
messages than to others. For this reason, any compatibility problem that is reported to us,
giving detailed system configuration information and error symptoms will receive the
highest priority. For the other questions, we regret that we may not be able to reply
directly. But your questions may be posted to the Internet news group in order that a
larger number of users can have the benefit of the information. Please check the news
group from time to time.
