1. Getting Started
1.1 Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should
open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution,
use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.
Always note that improper disassembling action could cause damage to the
motherboard. We suggest not removing the heatsink without correct
instructions in any circumstance. If you really have to do this, please contact
us for further support.
1.2 Packing List
Before you begin installing your single board, please make sure that the
following materials have been shipped:
Rear I/O bracket X 1
Quick Installation Guide X 1
Driver/Utility CD X 1
Serial ATA Signal Cable X 2

3. BIOS Setup
Note: Installation procedures and screen shots in this section are
for your reference and may not be exactly the same as
shown on your screen.

ERX-H61 User’s Manual
ERX-H61 User’s Manual 15
3.1 Starting Setup
The BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads
the system information contained in the NVRAM and begins the process of checking out
the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on
one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the
screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).
Press DEL 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" button on the
system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete>
keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error
message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.
Press F1 to Continue, DEL to enter SETUP

3.4 In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no
longer is able to boot, the BIOS support an override to the NVRAM settings which resets
your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we
strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These
defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to
provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change
to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.
3.5 BIOS setting
3.5.1 Main Menu
Once you enter the BIOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main
Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow
keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu.
Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the
screen.
Note: The BIOS setup screens shown in this chapter are for reference purposes
only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
