Handling Precautions
Warning:
1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on
the motherboard. Before handling any motherboard outside of its
protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge
in your body.
2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’ s
instructions.
Observe the following basic precautions when handling the motherboard
or other computer components:
nWear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is
connected to a natural earth ground.
nTouch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a
water pipe.
nAvoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards,
and modules with the golden fingers connectors plugged into the
expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their
monting brackets.
The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged
properly.

Overview
■Intel LANDeskÒClient Manager (optional)
The mainboard comes with optional Intel LANDeskÒClient Manager, a
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant application that simpli-
fies local and network management of desktop client systems by monitor-
ing PC health, and by alerting local and designated remote users of poten-
tial problems. For example, the application will indicate when memory
usage is high or hardware components are likely to fail. This capability
provides new levels of manageability to deliver a lower cost of PC owner-
ship by maximizing system uptime, increasing user productivity and re-
ducing the number of help desk calls. Because it is industry-standard
DMI compliant, Intel LANDeskÒClient Manager can be used with other
DMI-based network management tools.
■Compact Crystal Audio Subsystem for Sound and Game
The onboard Crystal audio controller that for the PCI bus provides 64-
voice XG wavetable synthersizer and support DirectSound hardware ac-
celerator, Downloadable Sound (DLS), and DirectMusic accelerator. It
offers OPL3, Sound Blaster Pro, MPU401 UART mode and joystick func-
tion for various PC game on real DOS mode that without software drivers.
The board comes with three jacks: MIC_IN, L_IN, L_OUT for sound
access between computer system and audio devices.

■RTC Alarm
The RTC alarm feature allows you to preset the computer to wake-up at a
certain time allowing you to implement a number of useful functions, such
as automatically sending out a fax late at night.
■Remote Ring-On
The Remote Ring-On function allows your computer to be turned on
remotely via a modem while it is in sleep mode. This feature is particularly
usefully when you are expecting a fax late night and leave only your
modem on to minimize power consumption. As soon as possible the phone
rings, the modem automatically turn on the system, which answers the
phone and downloads the fax. Then the computer shuts off again, thereby
minimizing its consumption of power. The Remote Ring-On function
requires a power supply with a soft-off power controller.
■Soft-Off Support
The mainboards Soft-Off feature allows you to turn off your computer
using the operating system. This feature requires a power supply witha
soft-off power controller.
The major features of ACPI were listed as follows:
It is compatible with all other none ACPI operating systems. If you want to
setup ACPI feature under Windows 98, please follow the description below:
Run Windows 98 setup by using setup/p j on the command line for installing
Windows 98 with the ACPI control feature.
If you type setup without the parameter /p j, Windows 98 will be installed as
APM, PnP mode, no ACPI will be used.
For more detail information, please visit the web site of Microsoft. Its address
is: www.microsoft.com/hwtest/.
ACPI Ready
This mainboard fully implements the new ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) 1.0 Hardware and BIOS requirement. If you install ACPI aware
operating system, such as Windows 98, you fully utilized the power saving
under ACPI.

Installation
Load BIOS Defaults
BIOS defaults contain the most appropriate values of the system parameters
that allow minimum system performance. The OEM manufacturer may change
the defaults through MODBIN before the binary image burns into the ROM.
Load Setup Defaults
Selecting this field loads the factory defaults for BIOS and Chipset Features
which the system automatically detects.
1. Format a bootable system floppy diskette by typing the command format
a:/s in command mode.
2. Visit the the web site of the vendor and visit the BIOS Update page in the
related Technical Support section.
3. Select the BIOS file you need and download it to your bootable floppy
diskette.
4. Insert the bootable diskette containing the BIOS file into the floppy dis-
kette drive.
5. Assuming that the floppy diskette drive is A, reboot the system by using
the A: drive. At the A: > prompt, run the BIOS upgraded file by executing
the Flash BIOS utility and the BIOS file with its appropriate extension.
Do not turn off or reset the computer during the flash process or if there is
a problem.

2). Install RAM Modules
RAM Module Configuration
This mainboard provides two onboard DIMM sockets for allowing 3.3V (un-
buffered) SDRAM DIMM modules. Either 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512MB DIMM
can be installed on these four sockets. The maximum total memory supported
is up to 512MB.
Install and Remove DIMMs
SDRAM DIMM modules have different pin contact on each side and there-
fore have a higher pin density. Complete the following procedures when in-
stalling DIMMs:
NOTE: Do not use memory modules with more than 18 chips per
module. Modules with more than 18 chips exceed the design speci-
fications of the memory subsystem and will be unstable.
The notch on the DIMM module will shift between left, center, or
right to identify the type and also to prevent the wrong type from
being inserted into the DIMM slot on the mainboard. Ask your re-
tailer for the specifications before purchasing.
