Introduction
Level 2 Cache Memory
512KB pipeline burst, direct map write-through cache installed on
the system board.
Expansion Slots
The system board is equipped with 1 dedicated AGP slot. AGP is an
interface designed to support high performance 3D graphics cards. It
utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system memory for texturing,
z-buffering and alpha blending; delivering up to 533MB/sec.
bandwidth for 3D graphics applications. AGP in this system board
will deliver faster and better graphics with your PC.
The system board is equipped with 1 dedicated AGP slot, 2
dedicated PCI slots, 1 dedicated 16-bit ISA slot and 1 shared PCI/
ISA slot. All PCI and ISA slots are bus masters.
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The
DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information
about your system configuration and stores these information in the
DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play
BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is
designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of
computer systems easier. Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on
using the DMI utility.
Connectors

2.3 DIP Switch Settings of the Processors
Make sure SW1 and JP3 are set correctly before applying power or
you may damage the processor or system board. There are 10
switches on SW1. The black rectangle in the diagram denotes the
part that is protruding, the adjustable switch.
Important:
If you are using a 100MHz ex-
ternal system bus clock
processor, make sure that you
use PC-100 SDRAM DIMM
ONLY. Just in case you
encounter compatibility problems,
we recommend that you try
setting the SDRAM clock
according to the AGP clock (JP2
pins 1 and 2 On). This may help
solve some compatibility
problems.
In the example on the left:
Switch 1: Off Switch 6: Off
Switch 2: On Switch 7: Off
Switch 3: On Switch 8: Off
Switch 4: On Switch 9: Off
Switch 5: On Switch 10: On

2.5 Jumper Settings for SDRAM Clock (DIMM)
Jumper JP2
SDRAM Clock
JP2 is used to set the SDRAMs
clock according to the CPU
clock or AGP clock. If you are
using PC SDRAM DIMMs, it is
recommended that you set the
SDRAM clock according to the
CPU clock (2-3 On).This setting
will provide better system
performance specially when used
with 75/83/95/100MHz
processors. However, if you
encounter compatibility problems
with PC-100 SDRAM DIMMs or you are using EDO/PC-66
SDRAM DIMMs, set the SDRAM clock according to the AGP clock
(1-2 On).

2.6 Connecting the Ribbon Cables and Wires of
the Ports and Connectors
2.6.1 Serial Ports
The built-in serial ports are RS-232C asynchronous communication
ports with 16C550A-compatible UARTs that can be used with
modems, serial printers, remote display terminals, and other serial
devices. You can set the serial ports I/O address in the Integrated
Peripherals setup of the Award BIOS.
Connecting the Serial Ports
Two serial port cables
mounted on a card-edge
bracket are provided with the
system board. Connect one
serial port cable to connector
J6 for COM 1 primary serial
port and the other serial port
cable to connector J5 for the
COM 2 secondary serial port.
Make sure the colored stripes
on the ribbon cables are
aligned with pins 1 of
connectors J5 and J6. Mount
the card-edge bracket to the
system chassis.
