1-2 Software Power Off Control
The mainboard design supports Software Power Off Control feature through the
SMM code in the BIOS under Windows 95/98, and MS-DOS operation system
environment.
First, you should connect the power switch cable to the connector “PS-ON” on
the mainboard. In the BIOS screen of POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP’, choose
“User Defined” (or “Min. Power Saving” or “Max. Power Saving”) in ‘Power
Manager’ and pick up “Yes” in ‘PM Control by APM’.
In Windows 95/98, if you would like to power off the system, you just need to
choose “shutdown the computer ?” in the “Shut Down Windows“ from Windows
95/98. Then the system power will be off directly, and become to the stand-by status.
If you would like to restart the system, just press the power switch button, and the
system will be powered on.

1-3 Fan Off Control
With fan-off function, the CPU cooling fan can turn off automatically even when
the system is in suspend mode. This function is able to reduce energy consumption
and system noise.
Because it is a feature of advanced BIOS, you should set this option enabled
through “Power Management Setup” from the BIOS setup screen.

1-4 Running 100 MHz CPU Bus (with JP11)
The mainboard provides Jumper 11 that allows you to set your CPU host clock
and perform CPU overclock function. There are two ways to set CPU host clock at
‘closed’ and ‘open’. When setting ‘closed’, the system will automatically detect the
CPU host clock, for instance 66MHz and 100MHz. Another way is to set Jumper 11
at ‘open’ and the system can be operated with a higher frequency than the nominal one
on CPU.
We recommend that users should use Intel PentiumII/III 100 MHz CPU, running
at 350, 400, 450 and 500MHz internal clock speed. Moreover, the SDRAM memory
module must be 8 nano-second (Maximum Frequency 125 MHz) speed of
memory –die or less. However, based on Intel’s design, we don’t recommend users to
run over 100MHz CPU host bus.
Please note that the default setting of Jumper 11 is ‘closed’.

If you would like to run over 100MHz CPU host bus, like 112 and 124MHz,
please set “CPU Clock Frequency” in “CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP” from
the BIOS setup screen. If the system can’t boot up with the clock frequency
that you set to, you can clear the set frequency by pressing the ‘Insert” key on
keyboard. After restarting the system, you have the system operating at the
default frequency.

1-8 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN(WOL) mode of operation is a mechanism that uses
Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power on a sleeping workstation
on the network. This mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a
specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the
network. For additional protection, Secure ON is an optional security feature that can
be added to the Magic Packet that requires a password to power on the sleeping
workstation. When LAN card is in remote Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power
can be shut down leaving power only for the LAN card and auxiliary power
recondition.
The LAN card performs no network activities while in the remote
Wake-On-LAN mode of operation. It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic
Packet. If a Magic Packet is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card
wake up the system. If the Secure ON feature has been enabled, the password added to
the Magic Packet is also verified prior to waking up the system.
You should select two kinds of PCI Ethernet cards with WOL function. One is
Intel and the other is with PME signal supporting. And you can set “Wake Up On
LAN” this function enabled through “ Power Management Setup” from the BIOS
setup screen.
1-9 Thermister (optional)
If Hardware Monitor is built onboard, CPU temperature can be monitored by
setting up the Thermister.
When setting up the thermister (refer to Appendix B), the BIOS will load the
CPU temperature automatically. A warning beep sound will be sent out if the user set
the option on. If the CPU is overheated, the user will get the warning. Then you should
shut down computer and check your devices. Or contact you dealer for further help if
CPU temperature persists.
Note: If you would like to enable the function of hardware monitor, to set up
thermister beforehand is necessary. RT2 is the thermister connector.

1-10 LDCM （LANDesk Client Manager）(optional)
The mainboard built-in controller supports Intel LDCM. LDCM can satisfy users
who want manageable systems that can interact automatically with the user. Client
manager is the answer, enabling both administrators and clients to manage systems.
The features of LDCM are as following :
※View system inventory
Client Manager enables you to view hundreds of inventoried items. Some of these
items are software related, while many others are hardware related.
※View DMI-compliant component information
Client manager enables you to view component information that is compliant with the
Desktop Manager Interface（DMI）. This means you can manage third-party
DMI-compliant components which did not include Client manager.
※Back up and restore system configuration files.
Client Manager enables you back up and restore system configuration files. Whenever
you plan on changing the system configuration , you can make a backup set. If the
system no longer works correctly, after you the change the system configuration ,
you can simply restore the system configuration with the backup set.
※Troubleshoot
Since Client manager enables you to view the system inventory, you can easily
troubleshoot system problems.
※Receive notifications for system events
Client manager enables you to receive notification of certain system events. For
example, if the system is running low on virtual memory, you are notified of the
potential problem.
※Transfer files to and from client workstations
As an administrator, you have the ability to transfer files to and from client
workstation. This is helpful, for example, when you need to update a client
workstation driver.
※Remotely reboot client workstations
Administrator also have the ability to remotely reboot a workstation. This is helpful
when you want your system configuration changes to take effect.

3-1-1 UPDATE MICROCODE API
Intel also provides MICROCODE API(Applications Programming Interface) for
PentiumII/III processor-based mainboard user to update data block in BIOS quickly
and easily. (You can find this utility in the All-In-One CD in the mainboard package).
The BIOS code on the PentiumII/III processor-based mainboards contains data
that is specific to each silicon stepping of the processor. Integrators must ensure that
this BIOS stepping data matches the used processor stepping. When the BIOS does
not contain stepping data that matches the processor stepping, integrators must update
the data in the BIOS before shipping the system. Historically, PentiumII/III systems
have been updated by replacing the entire BIOS with a new revision of BIOS that
contains the correct stepping data.
Intel‘s BIOS update API allows just the stepping data within the BIOS to be
updated as needed. Mainboards that contain a BIOS with the Intel-defined BIOS
update API can be quickly and easily updated, if required, without obtaining a
complete BIOS upgrade. Using this utility, integrators can easily verify that the
correct stepping data is present in all PentiumII/III processor-based mainboards.
However, if the stepping data requires to be updated, the mainboard BIOS must
contain the Intel-defined BIOS update API, otherwise a complete BIOS upgrade is
required from the mainboard vendor.
Since API program can only be executed under DOS Real Mode, you must enter
Real Mode first and load the API program to Drive C.
To load the program to C by following steps:
(1) Type “ md c:\ api ” and press Enter. Directory “api” is made in Drive C now.
(2) Insert the Driver/Utility CD into CD ROM Drive E.
(3) Then type “ copy e:\api\*.* c:\api ” and press Enter.
(API program is loaded to Drive C now.)
(4) Type “ C:\ api \checkup ” to execute this program.
The main menu should now be displayed with the following four options :
1) Check and load update
2) Specify stepping data file [current : pep.pdb]
3) Help
4) Quit without loading update
Select 1 to know the stepping filename, select 2 to load right patch code, then
select 1 to update proper patch code. Now, the screen will show the message “please
remove the CD from CD-ROM drive”. Then cold boot (mechanical power off) system
to continue. For more information, please refer to “CHECKUP.HLP“ file.

Memory This category is displayed only which is determined by POST (Power On
Self Test) of the BIOS.
Base Memory The POST will determine the amount of base (or conventional)
memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K or
640K based on the memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory How much extended memory is present during the POST. This
is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU‘s memory address map.
Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address
space. This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area
to load device drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free for application
programs. The BIOS is the most frequent user of this RAM area since this is where it
shadows RAM.
