HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Thismanualiswritteninauser-friendly style. It would be advisable
for users to read it in an orderly sequence :
1. For Hardware Information:
ReadPageA:COMPONENTLOCATIONDIAGRAM,PageB:CHECKLISTOF
THE PACKAGING and Page C: CONNECTORS DESCRIPTION.
2. For Mainboard and System Features:
Read “Chapter 1 Introduction” in detail, and you will find helpful information on
mainboard and system features. Especially, when you want to do some feature setup,
detailed instructions are provided therein to help you through.
3. For CPU, Memory and Drivers Installation:
Read “Chapter 2 Installation” for your CPU, memory and application drivers
installation. Detailed instructions are provided to guide all kinds of users.
4. For BIOS Update and Setup:
Read “Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup” for updating your mainboard BIOS and
setting up your BIOS Configuration.
5. For Installing PentiumII/III, Celeron or Processors with SECC2 Package:
Read APPENDIX A for setting up Intel PentiumIII, PentiumII, CeleronTM, or
processors with SECC2 package.
6. For Installing Thermister:
Read APPENDIX B for thermister installation. You will find that the self-explanatory
drawings enclosed therein make the job easy and simple.
7. For other Technical Support:
Read APPENDIX C, fill and send the Request Form to your dealer for other technical
support.
It is often heard that the default setting on a mainboard is not what user expects. A
user-friendly manual would be the handiest assistant to help change the on-board
configuration or default setting. In case this manual cannot solve all your problems,
please ask your dealer for help and be sure the warranty on your system is still valid.

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.

Software power off control Light off Light off
APM mode Light on Light on
System running Light on Light on
Note : If you are going to leave your system for several days, we suggest you use
hardware power off to shutdown your system.
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 Jumper11at
‘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’.

After restarting the system, you have the system operating at the default
frequency.
