CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 BEFORE YOU START
Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the
mainboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:
Prepare a dry and stable working environment with
sufficient lighting.
Always disconnect the system from power outlet
before operation.
Before you take the mainboard out from anti-static
bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely
grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to
remove the static charge.
Avoid touching the components on mainboard or the
rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board
on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.
Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the
case after installation. Loose parts will cause short
circuits which may damage the equipment.
Keep the system from dangerous area, such as heat
source, humid air, and water.
Please switch on/off the machine normally. That is, DO
NOT pull out power cord directly from the mainboard
or the system may damage.

CHAPTER 3: BIOS SETUP
Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup
program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic
system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power of CMOS
RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the
power is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and output
devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the
first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the operating system. Some
additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning
options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in BIOS
Setup.
Plug and Play Support
This AMI BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A specification.
EPA Green PC Support
This AMI BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC specification.
ACPI Support
AMI ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0/2.0 of Advanced Configuration and Power
interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power management and
device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by
Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

BIPV10-IAT
19
PCI Bus Support
This AMI BIOS also supports Version 2.3 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) local bus specification.
DRAM Support
DDR2 SDRAM (Double Data Rate II Synchronous DRAM) is supported.
Supported CPUs
This AMI BIOS supports the Intel CPU.
Using Setup
When starting up the computer, press <Del>
during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter
the BIOS setup utility.
In the BIOS setup utility, you will see General
Help description at the top right corner, and this
is providing a brief description of the selected
item. Navigation Keys for that particular
menu are at the bottom right corner, and you can
use these keys to select item and change the
settings.
Notice
zThe default BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum
performance of the motherboard. If the system becomes unstable after changing
any settings, please load the default settings to ensure system’s compatibility and
stability. Use Load Setup Default under the Exit Menu.
zFor better system performance, the BIOS firmware is being continuously updated.
The BIOS information described in this manual is for your reference only. The
actual BIOS information and settings on board may be slightly different from this
manual.
zThe content of this manual is subject to be changed without notice. We will not
be responsible for any mistakes found in this user’s manual and any system damage
that may be caused by wrong-settings.
