1-2 Software Power Off Control
The mainboard designs to support Software Power Off Control feature through the SMM
code in the BIOS under Windows 95/98, Windows 3.1x, and MS-DOS operation system
environment. In order to reach this feature, you should use ATX power supply.
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
choose “Yes” in ‘PM Control by APM’.
In Windows 95/98, if you would like to power off the system, you just choose
“shutdown the computer ?” in the “Shut Down Windows“ from Windows 95/98, then the
system power will be off directly and become the stand-by status. In the mean time, you
will find the power LED light is blinking. If you would like to restart the system, just
press the power switch button, and the system will be powered on.
1-3 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.
1-4 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN mode of operation is a mechanism 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.
You should select two kinds of PCI Ethernet cards with WOL function. One is INTEL
and the other is with PME signal supporting.
4

1-5 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 the user set the option on. If the CPU temperature is
overheated, the user will get the notice from the thermister. This time you should shut
down the computer and check your devices. Or you can contact with you dealer.
1-6 Hardware Monitor
Hardware Doctor is a self-diagnostic system for PC and must be used with Winbond
W83781D IC series product. It will protect PC Hardware by monitoring several critical
items including Power Supply Voltage, Fans Speed, and CPU & System temperature,
which may damage system under malfunction.

CHAPTER 3 AMI BIOS SETUP
AMI BIOS manufacturer provides access to the system BIOS through the hardware and
software on each ATC-6400 mainboard. The hardware consists of a Flash ROM and the
software is a group of programs that are installed in the ROMBIOS along with all the
other data the BIOS must contain.
The ATC-6400 mainboard will require special driver supplied by the manufacturer to
update the BIOS SETUP program. It is a good idea to read the next page for details of
how to update BIOS driver installation or you can ask your system dealer to do it for you.
When the driver has been successfully updated, it is very important to contact your
system dealer to change the CMOS settings for your computer. The CMOS settings are
shown in the following pages.
NOTE : To clear CMOS you should unplug the power cord, then set 2-3 to clear, put it
back to normal position and plug the power cord again.

3-1 UPDATE BIOS PROCEDURES
If the BIOS needs to be updated, you can get the updated BIOS driver from the CD we
offer in the package. The BIOS updated CD includes :
“amiflash.com” -- BIOS updated utility program
The updated procedure is in the following:
1. Boot the system to DOS mode in a normal manner.
2. Insert the updated CD to the CD ROM drive.
3. Change working directory to CD ROM drive, which contains the updated BIOS CD.
-- Type “d:\flash” or “e:\flash”, then press “ENTER” key.
4. Run the BIOS updated utility -- Type “amiflash”, “ENTER”.
5. Type “ updated BIOS file name with version number).bin”, ENTER.
6. If you do not want to save the old BIOS version, type “N” when the screen displays
the message : " Do you want to save BIOS Y/N) ?".
7. Type “Y“ when the screen shows the message : " Are you sure to program Y/N) ?".
8. Follow the instructions on the screen. DO NOT remove the CD from the CD ROM
drive nor turn the system power off until the BIOS updated is completed.
9. Turn the power off. Clear the data in CMOS according to the procedure described in
the previous page.
10. Turn the system power on and test that your system is working properly.

3-1-1 UPDATE PENTIUM II BIOS API
Intel also provides MICROCODE API Applications Programming Interface) for
PentiumII processor-based mainboard user to updated data block in BIOS quickly and
easily. You can find this utility in the CD that we offer in the package.)
The BIOS code on the PentiumII 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 processor stepping used. When the BIOS does not contain
stepping data that matches the processor stepping, integrators must updated the data in the
BIOS before shipping the system. Historically, PentiumII systems have been updated by
replacing the entire BIOS with a new revision of BIOS that contains the correct stepping
data.
Intel‘s BIOS updated API allows stepping data within the BIOS to be updated as
needed. Mainboards that contain a BIOS with the Intel-defined BIOS updated 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 processor-based mainboards. However, if the stepping data requires
updating, the mainboard BIOS must contain the Intel-defined BIOS updated API,
otherwise a complete BIOS upgrade is required from the mainboard vendor.
Put the CD into CD-ROM drive, e.g. drive E, and then type
E:\>”ENTER”, and type \api\checkup.
The main menu should now be displayed, showing the following four options :
1) Check and load updated
2) Specify stepping data file [current : pep.pdb]
3) Help
4) Quit without loading updated
Select 1 to know the stepping filename, select 2 to load right patch code, then select 1 to
updated proper patch code. Now, the screen will show the message “please remove CD
from CD-ROM drive”. Then cold boot mechanical power off) system to continue. For
more information, please refer to “CHECKUP.HLP“ file.
