FCC
&
DOC COMPLIANCE
Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
l
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
l
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa-
tion. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the following measures:
l
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
l
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
l
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
l
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING:
The use of shielded cables for connection of the monitor to the graphics
card is required to assure compliance with FCC regulations. Changes or modifica-
tions to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Canadian Department of Communications Statement
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Cana-
dian Department of Communications.

FEATURES
Introduction to
ASUS
TX97 Series of motherboards
Performance:
SDRAM Optimized Performance
-
ASUS
TX97 series of motherboards sup-
port the new generation memory
-
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory (SDRAM) which increases the data transfer rate from
264MB/s
max
using
ED0
memory to
528MB/s
max.
Double the IDE Transfer Speed
-
ASUS
TX97 series of motherboards with
Intel 430TX
PCIset
improves IDE transfer rate using Bus Master
UltraDMA/33
IDE which can handle data transfer up to
33MB/s.
The best of all is that this
new technology is compatible with existing ATA- IDE specs so there is no
need to upgrade current hard drives or cables.
Concurrent
PC1
-
Concurrent
PC1
allows multiple
PC1
transfers from
PC1
master
busses to memory to CPU.
ACPI Ready
-
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is also
implemented on all
ASUS
430TX series of motherboards. ACPI provide more
Energy Saving Features for the future operating systems (OS) supporting OS
Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features imple-
mented in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy
saving standards. To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS
such as in the next release of Windows 95 must be used.
PC ‘97 Compliant
-
Both the BIOS and hardware levels of
ASUS
TX97 series
of motherboards meet PC ‘97 compliancy. The new PC 97 requirements for
systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support
for Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring and
managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation pro-
cedures for both Windows 95 and Windows NT.

Installation Steps
Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:
1.
Set Jumpers on the Motherboard
2.
Install System Memory Modules
3.
Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
4.
Install Expansion Cards
5.
Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power Supply
6.
Setup the BIOS Software

.
Jumpers
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper
pins (JP) on the motherboard. See “Map of the
ASUS
Motherboard” for locations of
jumpers. The jumper settings will be described numerically such as
[----I,
[l-2],
[2-31
for no connection, connect pins
l&2,
and connect pins
28~3
respectively. Pin
1 for our motherboards is always on top
‘I”’
P,”
1
or on the left
K!!ZLEl
when holding the
motherboard with the keyboard connector away from yourself. A
“1”
is written
besides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. The jumpers will also be shown graphi-
cally such as
m
to connect pins
l&2
and
[
to connect pins
2&3.
Jumpers
with two pins will be shown as
m
for Short (On) and
m
for Open (Off). For
manufacturing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing pins from other groups. Use
the diagrams in this manual instead of following the pin layout on the board. Set-
tings with two jumper numbers require that both jumpers be moved together. To
connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins as diagramed.
WARNING:
Computer motheboards and components contain very delicate
Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect the motherboard and other compo-
nents against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precau-
tions whenever you work on your computer.
1.
Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2.
Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the
IC
chips, leads, or
circuitry.
3.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.
4.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with
the component whenever the components are separated from the system.

Turn off your computer and unplug the AC power, (2) Move this
jumper to “Clear Data,” (3) Move the jumper back to “Operation,” (4) Plug in
the AT power and turn on your computer, (5) Hold down <Delete> during
bootup
and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
Battery Test Jumper (RTCLR)
You
can test the battery’s current by removing this jumper and attaching a cur-
rent meter to pins
l&2.
WARNING: You must unplug the power cord to
your power supply to ensure that there is no power to your motherboard.
The CMOS RAM containing BIOS setup information may be cleared by
this action. You should enter BIOS to “Load Setup Defaults” and re-enter
any user information after removing and reapplying this jumper.

INSTALLATION
CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (FSO,
FSl,
FS2)
These jumpers tell the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU. These
allow the selection of the CPU’s
External
frequency (or BUS Clock). The BUS Clock
times the BUS Ratio equals the CPU’s
Internal
frequency (the advertised CPU speed).
CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (BFO, BFl)
These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the
Internal
frequency of the CPU
and the
External
frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU. These must
be set together with the above iumpers
CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection.
