INSTALLATION GUIDE
BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Its easy to get overly excited about your purchase, and to jump right into installing the
system board into your case. Too many times, people fail to read the manual or insist on
installing it themselves, only to find out later that theyve permanently damaged their
motherboard and as well as their components. Though this manual will make installation
seem like a fairly simple procedure, it is not. So, if youre not a technophile or have little
or no computer knowledge, consider asking your vendor or a trained technician to install
this board.
SETUP THE CPU RETENTION CLIP(S)
Look at the CPU installation page for instructions on setting up the retention clips.
INSERT THE CPU INTO THE SOCKET
Look at the CPU installation page for instructions on inserting your CPU.
CONFIGURE YOUR CPU THROUGH JP6, SW1, SW2 ,SW3 & SW4.
Look at the CPU installation page for instructions on configuring your CPU.
INSTALL YOUR MEMORY INTO THE DIMM SOCKETS
Insert your memory into the corresponding DIMM sockets. Follow the instruc-
tions outlined in the memory section of this manual.
INSTALL THE MAINBOARD ONTO THE SYSTEM CHASSIS
Make sure the mainboard is properly grounded and mounted into the case. Take time to
do this properly as it makes the installation of your cards and cables easier.
CONNECT AND INSTALL YOUR CARDS & I/O CABLES
Be sure your cables and cards are properly oriented and plugged in firmly. See the helpful
hint page for tips on connecting your i/o cables.
CONNECT YOUR CASE LED & SWITCH CABLES TO THE BOARD
CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLES TO THE BOARD
See the mainboard diagram page for tips on connecting your power cables.
POWER ON AND GO INTO BIOS AND SETUP YOUR SYSTEM
Press <del> during memory check phase of POST and see the BIOS setup pages of this
manual for more details on setting up your systems configuration. If you get a blank
screen, refer to the troubleshooting section for some tips on solving this problem.
GET YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM UP AND RUNNING
Bootup your OS and see if the board and all your peripherals are recognized and working.

CPU INSTALLATION
This motherboard supports an Intel Pentium II processor using a Single Edge Contact
(SEC) slot. Make sure that you have the following items (which should be included in the
package) before doing any installation: (1) 4 screws (2) 1 retention clip.
(1) There are 2 sets of small holes along Slot 1 of your
motherboard: two on the top and two on the bottom. Snap the
retention clip (2) right into those 2 sets of holes. If the retention
clip is installed incorrectly, you will not be able to insert the CPU
into the retention clip.
(2) Find the holes in each corner of the retention clip and insert
one of the four screws into each of these holes.
(3) Push the screws downward to secure the retention
clip.
(4) Flatten the two latches on the side of the CPU. Insert
the CPU into the retention clip. Lock the two latches to
secure the CPU.

OPEN ON ON OFF ON 400 MHz (100 X 4.0)
OPEN OFF ON OFF ON 450 MHz (100 X 4.5)
The system bus speed can be set to 66.6MHz or 100MHz from the jumper (JP6). The
user can change the DIP SWITCH (SW) selection to set up the CPU speed for different
processors. The CPU speed must match with the frequency RATIO and Front Side Bus
(FSB) speed. It will cause system hanging up if the frequency RATIO and FSB Speed do
not match with the CPU.

MEMORY CONFIGURATION
MEMORY CONSIDERATIONS
The mainboard lets you add up to 1GB of system memory through 4 DIMM
sockets on the board
The four 168-pin DIMM sockets are divided into four banks: BANK 0, 1, 2 & 3.
The speed of all DIMM modules must be 67 - 100 MHz for SDRAM when system bus
speed is set to 66MHz
When system bus speed is set to 100MHz, 100MHz SDRAM is required.
When installing DIMM modules, make sure that Pin 1 of the module must match with Pin
1 of the DIMM socket. Press down firmly until the side clips lock into place.

BIOS OVERVIEW & SPECIFICATIONS
Awards BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS SRAM
so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
WARNING
Due to the frequent upgrades of the AWARD BIOS, this manual may not include
descriptions of all the features available to you in your current BIOS.
Do not change the settings in the BIOS unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing
or when told to do so by a trained technician. Changing any of the BIOS settings, may
affect the performance of your system and can also cause your system to hang.
ENTERING THE BIOS SETUP
Power ON the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to enter Setup. If the
message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the
system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the RESET bottom on the
system case. You may also restart by simultaneously press <Ctrl>, <Alt>,and<Del>
keys.
THE MAIN MENU
Once you enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from nine setup functions and two exit

STANDARD CMOS SETUP
STANDARD CMOS SETUP MENU
The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu (Figure 4.2) are divided into 9 categories.
Each category includes no, one or more than one setup items. Use the arrows to
highlight the item and then use the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you
want in each item.
DATE
The date format is <day>, <month> <date> <year>.
TIME
The times format in <hour> <minute> <second>. The time is calculated base on the 24
hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00.
PRIMARY HDDS / SECONDARY HDDS
The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has been installed
in the computer. There are two types: auto type, and user definable type. User type is
user-definable; Auto type which will automatically detect HDD type.
If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items:
CYLINDERS - Number of cylinders, HEADS - Number of heads, PRECOMP - Write
precomp, LANDZONE - Landing zone, SECTORS - Number of sectors
DRIVE A TYPE / DRIVE B TYPE
The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that has been installed
in the computer: None, 360K/5.25 in., 1.2M/5.25 in., 720K/3.5 in., 1.44M/3.5 in., 2.88M
/3.5 in.
VIDEO
The category detects the type of adapter used for the primary system monitor that must
match your video display card and monitor. Although secondary monitors are supported,
you do not have to select the type in setup: EGA/VGA - Enhanced Graphics Adapter
/Video Graphics Array (EGA, VGA, SVGA, or PGA monitor adapters), CGA 40 - Color
Graphics Adapter, power up in 40 column mode, CGA 80 - Color Graphics Adapter,
power up in 80 column mode, MONO - Monochrome adapter, includes high resolution
monochrome adapters
HALT ON
The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during
power up: NO Errors - The system boot will not stop for any error that may be
detected, All Errors - Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will
be stopped and you will be prompted, All, But Keyboard - The system boot will not
stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for all other errors, All, But Diskette - The
system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other errors, All, But
Disk/Key - The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it will stop for
all other errors.
MEMORY
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the
BIOS: Base Memory, Extended Memory & Expanded Memory.
