1-3-3 AMR and AC’97 CODEC Controller
AMR slot and AC’97 CODEC are integrated into the Mainboard to enable audio and
modem playback.
AMR (Audio/Modem Riser) slot is mounted on board to connect riser board with
Audio and/or Modem CODEC (AMC/AC/MC Adapters). The AMR specification
developed by Intel provides a mechanism for AC’97 codes to be on a riser card.
To enable the onboard AC’97 CODEC, set JP9 pin 2-3closed. And in such way,
you can further plug ariser board with Modem CODEC to the AMR slot. Otherwise,
disabling onboard AC’97 CODEC by setting JP9 1-2 closed, you can plug ariser
board with Audio/Modem CODEC to the AMR slot.
See Page A for AMR location on 6430M Mainboard.
1-3-4 Software Power Off Control
This mainboard supports Software Power Off Control feature through the SMM code
in the BIOS under Windows 95/98, and MS-DOS operation system environment.
First, you should connect the power switch cable to the connector “PS-ON” on the
mainboard. In the BIOS screen of POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP’, choose “User
Define” (or “Min. Power Saving” or “Max. Power Saving”) in ‘Power Management’.
In Windows 95/98, if you want to power off the system, you just need to choose
“shutdown the computer?” in the “Shut Down Windows” of Windows 95/98. Then the
system power will be off directly, and stay at the stand-by status. If you want to restart
the system, just press the power switch button..
Note : If you are going to leave your system idle for several days, we suggest you
use hardware power off to shut down your system.

1-3-5 Modem Ring On
With Modem Ring On function, the computer can wake up by remote signal
through a connected modem. This function enables users to access their computer data
from anywhere in the world. Users have to enable “Power On by Ring” in “Power
Management Setup” of the AWARD BIOS setup screens.
1-3-6SB-Link Sideband Signals
In order to migrate the legacy Sound Blaster compatible audio to the PCI bus,
EMU8008 incorporates a pair of SB-Link request/grant sideband signals (PCPCIR
EQN and PCPCIGNTN) to interface to the PCI bus. SB-Link is a mechanism that was
defined and developed by Intel as a docking solution which allows ISA slots to exist in
docking stations connected to desktop PC PCI bus.

1-3-7 Ultra DMA 66 Cable (optional)
Ultra DMA 66 cable (40-pin connector & 80-line cable) is packaged while utilizing
FW82801AA chip which supports both UDMA 33 & UDMA 66 on the mainboard. In
other words, Ultra DMA 33 cable is only used with FW82801AB chip And the Ultra
DMA 66 color coded connectors are shown as bellow:
1-3-8 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN (WOL) mode of operation is a mechanism that uses
Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power on a sleeping workstation
on the network. This mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a
specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the
network. For additional protection, Secure ON is an optional security feature that can
be added to the Magic Packet that requires a password to power on the sleeping
workstation. When LAN card is in remote Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power
can be shut down leaving power only for the LAN card and auxiliary power
recondition.
The LAN card performs no network activities while in the remote Wake-On-LAN
mode of operation. It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic Packet. If a
Magic Packet is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card wake up the
system. If the Secure ON feature has been enabled, the password added to the Magic
Packet is also verified prior to waking up the system.
You should select two kinds of PCI Ethernet cards with WOL function. One is
Intel and the other is with PME signal supporting. And you can set “PCI PME#

Function” enabled through “ Power Management Setup” from the BIOS setup screen.
Caution: For Wake-On-LAN, the +5V standby line for the power supply should be
capable of delivering +5V ±5% at 720mA. Failure to provide adequate standby current
when implementing Wake-On-LAN will damage the power supply.

CHAPTER 3
AWARD BIOS SETUP
Award BIOS manufacturer provides access to the system BIOS through the hardware
and software on mainboard. The hardware consists of a Flash ROM (4MB in 6430M
mainboard) and the software is a group of programs that are installed in the ROMBIOS
along with all the other data that should be included into the BIOS.
After the BIOS is updated, if you want to clear the old setup data stored in the CMOS,
then you can reset CMOS as follow.
NOTE:IncaseCMOSshouldbereset,firstunplugthepowercord,thensetJumper

3-1 UPDATE BIOS PROCEDURE
3-1-1 BIOS Update:
If the BIOS needs to be updated, you can get a CD with the updated BIOS utility in the
package. The CD includes :
“awdflash.exe” -- BIOS update utility program
“awdflash.doc”
The update procedure is as following:
1. Boot the system to DOS mode in a normal manner.
2. Insert the updated CD to drive D (or E).
3. Change working directory to CD-ROM drive, D or E, which contains the update
BIOS CD. -- Type “d:\” or “e: \”, then press “ENTER”.
4. Type “cd flash”, then press “ENTER”.
5. Type “awdflash”, then press “ENTER”-- for running the BIOS update utility.
6. Type “(update BIOS file name with version number).bin”, ENTER.
7. If you do not want to save the old BIOS, type “N” when the screen displays the
message : " Do you want to save BIOS (Y/N) ?".
8. Type “Y“ when the screen shows the message : " Are you sure to program
(Y/N) ?".
9. Follow instructions displayed on the screen. DO NOT remove the update BIOS
CD from the CD-ROM drive nor turn the system power off until the BIOS update
is completed.
10. Turn the power off. Clear the data in CMOS according to the procedure described
in the previous page.
11. Turn the system power on and test that your system is working properly.

3-1-2 UPDATE MICROCODE API
Intel also provides MICROCODE API (Applications Programming Interface) for
mainboard user to update data block in BIOS quickly and easily. (You can find this
utility in the All-In-One CD in the mainboard package).
The BIOS code on the mainboards contains data that is specific to each silicon
stepping of the processor. Integrators must ensure that this BIOS stepping data
matches the used processor stepping. When the BIOS does not contain stepping data
that matches the processor stepping, integrators must update the data in the BIOS
before shipping the system. Historically, the systems have been updated by replacing
the entire BIOS with a new revision of BIOS that contains the correct stepping data.
Intel’s BIOS update API allows just the stepping data within the BIOS to be
updated as needed. Mainboards that contain a BIOS with the Intel-defined BIOS
update API can be quickly and easily updated, if required, without obtaining a
complete BIOS upgrade. Using this utility, integrators can easily verify that the correct
stepping data is present in all mainboards. However, if the stepping data requires to be
updated, the mainboard BIOS must contain the Intel-defined BIOS update API,
otherwise a complete BIOS upgrade is required from the mainboard vendor.
Since API program can only be executed under DOS Real Mode, you must enter
Real Mode first and load the API program to Drive C.
To load the program to C by following steps:
(1) Type “ md c:\api ” and press Enter. Directory “api” is made in Drive C now.
(2) Insert the Driver/Utility CD into CD ROM Drive E.
(3) Then type “ copy e:\api\*.* c:\api ” and press Enter.
(API program is loaded to Drive C now.)
(4) Type “ C:\api \checkup ” to execute this program.
The main menu should now be displayed with the following four options :
1) Check and load update
2) Specify stepping data file [current : pep.pdb]
3) Help
4) Quit without loading update
Select 1 to know the stepping filename, select 2 to load right patch code, then
select 1 to update proper patch code. Now, the screen will show the message “please
remove the CD from CD-ROM drive”. Then cold boot (mechanical power off) system
to continue. For more information, please refer to “CHECKUP.HLP“ file.
