1-1 SOFTWARE POWER OFF CONTROL
The mainboard design supports Software Power Off Control feature through the
SMM code in the BIOS under Windows 95, and MS-DOS operation system
environment. This is Intel ATX form factor feature and you should use ATX power
supply.
First, you should connect the power switch cable (provided by the ATX case
supplier) 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 choose “Yes” in ‘PM Control by
APM’.
In Windows 95, if you would like to power off the system, you just choose
“shutdown the computer ?” in the “Shut Down Windows“ from Windows 95, then the
system power will be off directly, and become the stand-by status. You will find the
power LED light blinking. If you would like to restart the system, just press the power
switch button, and the system will be powered on.
Note : If you will leave your system for several days, we suggest you use hardware
power off to shutdown your system.

1-2 LDCM 
LANDesk Client Manager
ATC-6260 built-in controller support Intel LDCM. LDCM can satisfy users who want
to manage system 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 not included with 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 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 settings to take effect.

7
1-3 Thermister
This means that users can monitor the CPU temperature through thermister.
When setting up the thermister, the Bios will load the CPU temperature automatically.
There is a choice of the warning beep sound if users set the option on. If the CPU
temperature overheated, users will get the notice from the thermister. This time you
should shut down computer and check your devices. Consequently, protecting and
monitoring the CPU temperature is the thermister’s job.
1-4 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN mode of operation is amechanism that uses
Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power up 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 up the sleeping
workstation. When the 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.
WOL LAN card will provide a 3-pin line to connect the WOL connector on the
mainboard.

8
1-5 SB-LINK Sideband Signals (JP6)
In order to migrate the legacy Sound Blaster compatible audio to the PCI bus,
EMU8008 incorporates a pair of SB-
Link request/grant sideband signals (PCPCIR
EQN and PCPCIGNTN) to interface to the PCI bus. SB-Link is a mechanism that was
defined and developed by INTEL as a docking solution which allows ISA slots to exist
in docking stations connected to desktop PC PCI bus.
ISA Slots PCI Slot JP6 2x3 sideband header, sound will also
has a 2x3 header and a cable.

1-6 Keyboard & PS/2 Mouse Power On (JP9)
The ATC-6260 mainboard built-in Jumper 9 may have two easily and conveniently
ways to power up the system. Users may power on the system by typing a password,
or power on the system by double-clicking the PS/2 mouse.
In addition to satisfying different users will have many different needs, the
ATC-6260 mainboard provides four different methods to power up the system:
1. KB Power On Password:
This function is available for ATX power only. User can select the power on method to
power on the system. The options are the following :Password : when user select this
option, it will show “Enter Password:”, after user type password, it will show “ Confirm
Password:”, user should type the same password to confirm it. After power off, if user
types the correct password, the system will power on.
2. Hot Key Power On:
When user select this option, it will show another line as Hot Key Power ON: Ctrl-F1”’
select any one you like. After power off, if user key in the control-F, it will power up
the system.
3. Mouse Left, Mouse Right :
It will power up the system by double click the left or right mouse. Note do not move
your mouse between the first click and the second click.
4. BUTTON ONLY :
Only the power button can power the system.

In order to update and refresh BIOS memory completely, the Jumper 4 on the
ATC-6260 mainboard has the capability to update BIOS memory completely when
Jumper 4 is set to “Enable”. It is important to remember the default setting of Jumper
4is “Enable”.

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
2-1 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Before installing the computer, please prepare all components such as CPU, DRAM;
peripherals such as hard drive, keyboard, CD-ROM disk drive and accessories such as
cables. Then, install the system as following:
1. Plug CPU/ heat sink (refer to Pentium II installation guide), and DRAM modules in
the mainboard.
2. Set DIP switch based on your configuration.
3. Plug add-on cards in PCI/ISA slots.
4. Connect cables to peripherals.
5. Make sure all components and devices are well connected, turn on the power and
setup System BIOS based on your configuration.
6. Install peripherals, add-on card drivers and test them.
7. If all of above procedures are success, turn-off the power then plug all of them into
your computer case.

2-2 CPU INSTALLATION
ATC-6260 supports INTEL Pentium ll and CeleronTM CPU cartridge.
The ATC-6260 mainboard has built-in VID (Voltage Identify) function to auto
detect CPU voltages. Hence you do not have to set the CPU voltage setting. If users
plug one PentiumII CPU and one CeleronTM CPU, the system is only detected
PentiumII CPU. In addition, if users plug two PentiumII CPU, the system is only
detected one PentiumII CPU.
