CHAPTER 3 CONNECTOR
CONFIGURATION
Once the mainboard has been fastened into system case, the next step is to connect the internal
cables. The internal cables are wire leads with plastic female connectors that attach to the
connectors. The mainboard connectors have varying numbers of pins and are the points of
contact between the mainboard and other parts of the computer.

CHAPTER 4 AWARD BIOS SETUP
GUIDE
This following manual is specially provided for the BIOS supported system. After the
configuration of the mainboard, and have assembled the components, user can turn on the
completed system. At this point, run the software setup to ensure that the system information is
correct.
The software setup of the system board is achieved through Basic Input-Output System (BIOS)
programming. Use the BIOS setup program to tell the operating system what type of devices
(such as disk drives) are connected to the system board.
The system setup is also called CMOS setup. Normally, users need to run system setup if either
the hardware configuration is not identical with information contained in the CMOS RAM, or the
CMOS RAM has lost power.
4.1 AWARD BIOS SETUP
The setup program provided with the mainboard is the Award BIOS from Award
Software, Inc. Enter the AWARD Setup program’s Main Menu as follows:
1. Turn on or reboot the system. After a series of diagnostic check, the
following message appear:
“Press DEL to enter SETUP”

reflect the options installed in the system. (see the following sections for
more information).
4. Press <ESC> at anytime to return to the Main Menu.
5. In the Main Menu, choose “SAVE AND EXIT SETUP” to save change and
reboot the system. Choosing “EXIT WITHOUT SAVING” to ignore all
changes and exists the program.

A short description of the screen items follows:
Virus Warning: When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a
virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should
then run an anti-virus program. The default is Disabled.
CPU Internal Cache: Choose Enabled or Disabled. This option lets user choose whether to use
CPU internal cache memory. The default is Enabled.
External Cache: Choose Enabled or Disabled. This option lets user choose whether to use
secondary cache memory. The default is Enabled.
Quick Power On Self Test: Choose Enabled or Disabled. This option let the POST sequence
