Hardware Installation
2-1 Unpacking
This mainboard package should contain the following:
The J-530CF mainboard
USER’S MANUAL for mainboard
Cable set for IDE x1, Floppy x1,COM x1
CD for Drivers PACK
The mainboard contains sensitive electronic components which can be easily damaged
by electron-static, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat.
The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point as
the anti-static mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause
damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board
before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it only on a
grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for damage.
Press down on all of the socket IC’s to make sure that they are properly inserted. Do this
only on with the board placed on a firm flat surface.
Warning: Do not apply power to the board if it has been damaged.
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern on the
mainboard matches the IBM-AT system board.
It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a standard IBMXT/ATmain board
mounting. Place the chassis on the anti-static mat and remove the cover.
Take the plastic clips, Nylon stand-off and screws for mounting the system board, and
keep them separate.

2-4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The main board provides a 321-pins ZIF Socket 7. The CPU on mother board must have
a fan attached to prevent overheating.
WARNING: Without a fan, the CPU will be overheated and cause damage to both the CPU
and the motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket
and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-
degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the white dot as your guide. The white dot
should point towards the end of the level. The CPU has a corner pin for three of the four
corners, the CPU will only fit in the one orientation as shown as follow. With the added
weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted,
hold down on the fan and close the socket’s lever.
IMPORTANT: You must set jumpers SW1,JP2 “CPU Type selector” on page 6 and jumper JP3
“CPU Voltage Selection” on page 6 depending on the CPU that you install.

AWARD BIOS SETUP
Award's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user modify the basic
system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a
battery-backed CMOS RAM so data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In
general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM stay unchanged unless here is
configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment is
installed.
It is possible that CMOS had a battery failure which cause data lose in CMOS_RAM. If so,
re_enter system configuration parameters become necessary.
To enter Setup Program
Power on the computer and press <Del> key immediately will bring you into BIOS CMOS

Choose "STANDARD CMOS SETUP" in the CMOS SETUP UTILITY Menu (Figure 3-1).
The STANDARD CMOS SETUP allows user to configure system setting such as current
date and time, type of hard disk drive installed in the system, floppy drive type, and the
type of display monitor. Memory size is auto-detected by the BIOS and displayed for
your reference. When a field is highlighted (direction keys to move cursor and <Enter>
key to select), the entries in the field will be changed by pressing <PgDn> or <PgUp>
keys or user can enter new data directly from the keyboard.

3-2 BIOS FEATURES SETUP
Select the "BIOS FEATURES SETUP" option in the CMOS SETUP UTILITY menu allows
user to change system related parameters in the displayed menu. This menu shows all of
the manufacturer's default values of this motherboard. Again, user can move the cursor
by pressing direction keys and <PgDn> of <PgUp> keys to modify the parameters.
Pressing [F1] key to display help message of the selected item.
This setup program also provide 2 convinent ways to load the default parameter data
from BIOS [F6] or CMOS [F7] area if shown data is corrupted. This provides the system
a capability to recover from any possible error.

password setting is for CMOS only while the "system" indicates the password setting is
for both CMOS and system boot up procedure.
Virus Warning: This category flashes on the screen. During and after the system
boots up, any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk
drive will halt the system and the following error message will appear, in the mean
time, you can run an anti-virus program to locate the problem. Default value is
Disabled
Enabled:Activates automatically when the system boots up causing a
warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot
sector or hard disk partition table.

19
Disabled:No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the
boot sector or hard disk partition table.
CPU Internal Cache / External Cache: These two categories speed up memory
access. However, it depends on CPU/chipset design. The default value is Enable. If
your CPU without Internal Cache then this item "CPU Internal Cache" will not be
show.
Enabled: Enable cachehis category speeds up Power On Self Test.
(POST) after you power on the computer.
Disabled: Disable cache
Quick Power On Self Test: If it is set to Enable, BIOS will shorten or skip some
check items during POST.
Enabled:Enable quick POST
Disabled: Normal POST
Boot Sequence: This category determines which drive computer searches first for
the DOS (Disk Operating System). Default value is A,C,SCSI.
System will first search for floppy disk drive, then hard disk drive and then SCSI
device. The options are: C, A, SCSI; C, CDROM, A; CDROM, C, A; D, A, SCSI; E, A,
SCSI; F, A, SCSI; SCSI, A, C; SCSI, C, A; C only; LS/ZIP, C.
Swap Floppy Drive: The swap floppy drive. Default value is Disabled.
Enabled: Floppy A & B will be swapped under the DOS
Disabled: Floppy A & B will be not swap
Boot Up Floppy Seek: During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive
installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are
all 80 tracks. The default value is Enabled.
Enabled: BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or 80 tracks.
Note that BIOS can not tell from 720K, 1.2M or 1.44M drive type as
they are all 80 tracks.
Disabled:BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track number.
Note that there will not be any warning message if the drive installed is
360K.
Boot Up NumLock Status: The default value is On.
On: Keypad is number keys.
Off: Keypad is arrow keys.
Boot UP System Speed: It selects the default system speed-the speed that the
system will run at immediately after power up.
High:
Set the speed to high.
Low:
Set the speed to low.
NOTE: The board default value is LOW in the field. Boot the system to controller turbo or De-
turbo by Onboard (Turbo Switch).
Typematic Rate Setting: This determines the typematic rate.
Enabled:Enable typematic rate and typematic delay programming.
