Introduction

System Overview

This manual was written to help you start using this product

as quickly and smoothly as possbile. Inside, you will find

the answers to solve most problems. In order for this

reference material to be of greatest use, refer to the

“expanded table of contents” to find relevant topics.

This board provides a total PC solution by incorporating the

System , I/O , and PCI IDE. The mainboard is designed for

Intel PIII/Celeron/Coppermine processors base PC ATX

system, support single processors with CNR Bus, PCI Local

Bus, and AGP Bus to support upgrades to your system

performance. It is ideal for multi-tasking and fully supports

MS-DOS, Windows, Windows NT , Windows ME,

Windows 2000 , Novell, OS/2, Windows95/98 , UNIX ,

Windows 98SE , SCO UNIX etc.

This manual also explains how to install the mainboard for

operation, and how to setup your CMOS configuration with

the BIOS setup program.
