1. JP14 Clear CMOS
Everything you need to boot this
motherboard is included in this
Easy Installation Guide. For more
information, a complete Online
User's Manual can be found in the
Bonus Pack CD Disc. Thanks for
the help of saving our earth.
PART NO: 49.36S01.001 DOC. NO: AX47-EG-E0109A
You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To
clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.
2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.
3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 & pin 2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.
Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?
1. Boot fail because of overclocking…
2. Forget password…
3. Troubleshooting…
2. JP17 FSB Select Jumper
This jumper allows you to select CPU FSB frequency manually. If you are not an overclocker, we
recommend you keep the default jumper setting.

a (golden) cut edge on the CPU uppe
r
interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge.
Then insert the CPU into the socket.
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and
finish CPU installation.
Plug in the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPU FAN connector. If you have chassis fan, you
can also plug it on System FAN (FAN2) or AUX FAN (FAN3) connector.
This motherboard comes with a 20-pin ATX power connector and an extra 4-pin connecto
r
as shown below. Make sure you plug in the right direction. We strongly recommend you to
insert the 4-pin connector before connecting the 20-pin connector.

5. Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency
Setting CPU Core Voltage
This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automaticall
y
detected.
Setting CPU Frequency
This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the
BIOS setup, and no jumpers or switches are needed. The default setting is "1MHz
stepping mode", which you can change to "table select mode" by enabling the "Spread
Spectrum" in the bios. so that you can adjust the FSB from "CPU Host/PCI/3V66 Clock"
for overclocking.
3. Installing Processor
Note: If you do not match the CPU
socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it
may damage the CPU.

If the housing has been designed with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be able to
connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove
5-6 and 9-10 jumper caps from the Front Audio Connector before connecting the cable.
Please do not remove these 5-6 and 9-10 yellow jumper caps if there’s no audio port on
the front panel.
The AUX-IN connector is used to connect MPEG
A
udio cable from MPEG card to onboard sound.
The MODEM-CN connector is used to connect
Mono In/ Mic Out cable from internal modem card to
onboard sound circuit.
The CD-IN connector is used to connect CD Audio
cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound.

14. Installing LAN Driver (Optional)
The South Bridge of VIAApollo P4X266 chipset integrates a total communication solution including
10/100Mb Fast Ethernet for Office requirement. You can install LAN Driver under Windows95/98,
98SE, ME and 2000 by following steps.
=====================================
1. Turn on your computer and activate Windows OS. Windows will auto-detect your new adapter
and pop up “New Hardware Found” message.
2
. Select “Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer” to install driver from the diskette
that comes with your LAN adapter.
3
. Specify the path of the driver in the Bonus CD (i.e. [CD-ROM]:\Driver\LAN\82318233) to copy the
files to your systems.
4
. When the driver installation is completed, restart Windows.
Note:
1. The NDIS2 and ODI drivers are only supported in Windows95.
2
. To update the driver in WinME to this version:
a. Right click “My Computer” on desktop, and choose “Property”.
b. Choose “Device Manager” tab, and expand “Network Adapters”
in the device list.
c. Double click the specified network adapter and click “Update
Driver” in tab “Driver”.
d. Choose “Specify the location of the Driver(Advance)”, and then
key in the driver path. (i.e. [CD-ROM]:\Driver\LAN\82318233).
e. WinME will update the driver to this version and prompt the user
to restart windows.
Note: If the Ne
w

g
box does not appear a
t
startup and you canno
t
connect to the network,
check the Device
Manager list to see i

12. Support 10/100 Mbps LAN onboard (Optional)
Green/ACT
Orange/Speed
The South Bridge V8233 of VIA Apollo P4X266 chipset includes a fast Ethernet controller
on chip. On the strength of SB Integrated MAC+ LSI TQ80223 PHY on board, which is a
highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for
office and home use, the Ethernet RJ45 connector is located on top of USB connectors.
The green LED indicates the link mode, it lights when linking to network and blinking when
transferring data. The orange LED indicates the transfer mode, and it lights when data is
transferring in 100Mbps mode. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust it
throu
g
h BIOS.

fter you finish the setting of jumpers and connect correct cables. Power on
and enter the BIOS Setup, press <Del> during POST (Power On Self Test).
Choose "Load Setup Defaults" for recommended optimal performance.
15. Power-on and Load BIOS Setup
16. AOpen Bonus Pack CD 18. BIOS Upgrade
A
Open Easy Flash is more use
r
-friendly than traditional flash method. The BIOS binary
file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a single file to complete
the flash process.
1. Download new BIOS upgrade zipped file from AOpen's web site. For example,
AX47102.ZIP.
2. Run shareware PKUNZIP (http://www.pkware.com) which supports
miscellaneous operation systems to extract the binary BIOS file and the flash
utility. Or Winzip (http://www.winzip.com/) in Windows environment.
3. Save the unzipped file into a bootable floppy disk.
For example, AX47102.BIN & AX47102.EXE
4. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as
EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space.
5. Execute A:> AX47102 and the program will do the rest of it.
DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS until you are asked to!!
6. Reboot system and press <Del> to enter BIOS Setup, Choose "Load Setup
Defaults", then “Save & Exit Setup” and finish the BIOS upgrade.
Warning: The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace your original BIOS
content after flashing. The original BIOS setting and Win95/Win98 PnP information
will be refreshed and you probably need to re-configure your system.
17. Installing Onboard Sound Driver
You can use the autorun menu of Bonus CD disc. Choose the utility and driver and select
model name.
Del
Warning: Please avoid of using "Load
Turbo Defaults", unless you are sure
y
our system components (CPU, DRAM,
HDD, etc.) are good enough for turbo
settin
g
.
This motherboard comes with a RealTek ALC201 AC97 CODEC, you can find the audio
driver from the Bonus Pack CD disc auto-run menu.

If you encounter any trouble to boot you system, follow the procedures
accordingly to resolve the problem.
