The chassis and second fans will automatically turn off once the
system enters the Suspend mode.
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By PWR-BTTN field of
the Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system to
enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
Introduction
11
Wake- n-Ring
This feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or Soft
Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming
through an internal or external modem. Refer to Wake-On-Ring
Connector in chapter and Resume On Ring in the Power
Management Setup section in chapter 3 for more information.
Important:
If you are using a modem add-in card, the 5VSB power source
of your power supply must support
≥
720mA
Wake- n-LAN
The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake
up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. Your LAN card must support
the remote wakeup function. Refer to Wake-On-LAN Connector in
chapter and Resume On LAN in the Power Management Setup
section in chapter 3 for more information.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
720mA
Wake- n-Keyboard/Wake- n-Mouse
This function allows you to use the keyboard or PS/ mouse to
power-on the system. Refer to Jumper Settings for Wake-On-
Keyboard/Wake-On-Mouse in chapter and Keyboard/Mouse
Power On in the Integrated Peripherals section in chapter 3 for
more information.
Important:
The power button will not function once a keyboard
password has been set in the KB Power On Password
field of the Integrated Peripherals submenu You must type
the correct password to power-on the system If you forgot
the password, power-off the system and remove the
battery Wait for a few seconds and install it back before
powering-on the system
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must
support
≥
720mA
Introduction
1
Wake- n-USB Keyboard
The Wake-On-USB Keyboard function allows you to use a USB
keyboard to wake up a system that is in the S3 (STR - Suspend To
RAM) state. Refer to Jumper Settings for Wake-On-USB Keyboard
in chapter and USB KB Wake-Up From S3 in the Power
Management Setup section in chapter 3 for more information.
Important:
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard function for 2
USB ports, the 5VSB power source of your power supply
must support
≥
1 5A
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard function for 4
USB ports, the 5VSB power source of your power supply
must support
≥
2A
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically power-on on the set date and time. Refer to Resume
On Alarm in the Power Management Setup section in chapter 3 for
more information.
ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy
saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management
and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct
Power Management. Currently, only Windows® 98/ 000/ME supports
the ACPI function. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management
Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the
system at once by pressing the power button or selecting Standby
when you shut down Windows® 98/ 000/ME without having to go
through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications
and operating system. This is because the system is capable of
storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session
into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The
operating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time
you power-on the system. Refer to Using the Suspend to RAM
Function in appendix A for more information.
Introduction

Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
1A
AC Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to
either power-on the system manually, let the system power-on
automatically or return to the state where you left off before power
failure occurs. Refer to PWR Lost Resume State in the Integrated
Peripherals section in chapter 3 for more information.
Year 2000 Compliant
Supports hardware Y K function.
Virus Protection
Most viruses today destroy data stored in hard drives. The system
board is designed to protect the boot sector and partition table of
your hard disk drive.

2.2 System Memory
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board,
processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components Perform
the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation
only If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a
metal part of the system chassis If a wrist strap is unavailable,
establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection
The system board is equipped with two 168-pin DIMM (Dual In-line
Memory Module) sockets that support unbuffered PC-100 SDRAM
DIMM. PC SDRAM (Synchro-nous Dynamic Random Access
Memory) is a fast memory interface technology that uses the clock
on the chip to synchronize with the CPU clock so that the timing of
the memory chips and the timing of the CPU are synchronized. This
saves time during transmission of data, subsequently increasing
system performance.
The onboard VGA shares 1MB of the system memory. This is fixed
regardless of the size of the system memory. Aside from the 1MB
shared memory, it also uses Dynamic Video Memory Technology
(DVMT). DVMT freely changes in size because graphics memory is
allocated from the system memory according to current needs.

Hardware Installation
1. Pull the tabs which are at the ends of the socket to the side.
. Position the DIMM above the socket with the notches in the
module aligned with the keys on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is
completely seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.

2.2.1 Installing the DIM Module
A DIM module simply snaps into a DIMM socket on the system
board. Pin 1 of the DIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the
socket.
Display Cache
The system board is mounted
with SDRAMs that serve as
4MB display cache. The
presence of the display cache
will provide better system
performance.
Refer to chapter 1 for the type of memory supported by the
system board.

2.4 Jumper Settings for Clearing CM S Data
Clear CM S Data - Jumper JP7
If you encounter the following,
a) CMOS data becomes corrupted
b) You forgot the supervisor or user password
c) You are unable to boot-up the computer system because the
processors clock/ratio was incorrectly set in the BIOS
you can reconfigure the system with the default values stored in the
ROM BIOS.
To load the default values stored in the ROM BIOS, please follow
the steps below.
1. Power-off the system.
. Set JP7 pins and 3 to On. Wait for a few seconds and set JP7
back to its default setting, pins 1 and On.
