BIOS provides you with a set of basic values for yourprocessor selection instead of the
jumper settings. The processor speed can be manually selected from the “SpeedEasy

Warning:
Do not set CPU frequency higher than its working frequency. If you do, we will not be
responsiblefor anydamages caused. Whetheror notthe system canbe overclocked
depends on the processor’s capability. We do not guarantee the overclock system to
be stable.

New Features
BIOS-ProtectEasy
TheBIOSofthemainboardis contained insidetheFlash ROM.Severeviruses suchasCIH
virus are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the mainboard. If the BIOS has
been damaged, the system will be unable to boot. We provide the following solution which
protects the system BIOS from being attacked by such viruses.
There are two choices which implements this function.
1. Set the jumper (JAV) as closed, the BIOS can not be overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (JAV) as opened, meanwhile set “Flash Write Protect” as Enabled in
AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup. In this way, the BIOS can not be overwritten, but the DMI
informationcan beupdated.
Ultra ATA/100
According to the previous ATA/IDE hard drive data transfer protocol, the signaling way to
send data was in synchronous strobe mode by using the rising edge of the strobe signal.
The Ultra ATA/33 protocol doubles the burst transfer rate from 16.6MB/s to 33.3MB/s, by
using both the rising and falling edges of the strobe signal, and Ultra ATA/66 doubles the
Ultra ATA burst transfer rate once again (from 33.3MB/s to 66.6MB/s) by reducing setup
times and increasing the strobe rate. In the same way, the burst transfer rate of Ultra
ATA/100 is higher than ATA/66 (from 66.6MB/s to 100MB/s)by reducing the pulse width
from 30ns to 20ns and increasing the strobe rate.
Itcan be addedinto existing systemswithout theneedfor terminationdevices, new cable,
or other hardware changes, industry implementation of ATA/100 will provide an inexpen-
sive, simple, non-proprietary, high-speed method of host to storage access.
The 80-conductor, 40-pin cable standard in ATA/66 has enhanced reliability and bee
carried forward to ATA/100. of course, backwards compatible with ATA/33.
PC-133 Memory
PC133 SDRAM Unbuffered DIMM defines the electrical and mechanical requirements for
168-pin, 3.3 Volt, 133MHz, 64/72-bit wide, Unbuffered Synchronous DRAM Dual In-Line
MemoryModules (SDRAMDIMMs). Relatively , thepeak bandwidthof PC-133memoryis
the 33% higher than PC-100 memory. These latest SDRAMs are necessary to meet the
enhanced133MHzbusspeedrequirement.
Introduction

Manual for Advance 10B/Advance 10F
Suspend to RAM
Suspend to RAM is a cost-effective, optimal implementation of the Advanced Configura-
tion and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.0 specification, which makes a PC’s power consump-
tion drop to the lowest possible level and enables quick wakeup. When the system is in
Suspend-to-RAMstatus,the systemcontext is maintainedin system memory,the system
consumes only a small fraction of the power used for full operation. Instead of shutting
down the system to save power when not in use and then having to reboot later, Sus-
pend-to-RAM solution enables the system to quickly wake up, restoring all applications
and features, enabling operation in a few seconds.
Toimplement thisfunction, thefollowing requirmentsareessential:
1. Power supply requirements: The current of 5VSB line of the power supply should be
morethan0.75A.
2. TheBIOS option“ACPIfunction”shouldbe enabled,and“ACPI SuspendType”should
be set as S3 in AWARD BIOS CMOS setup. Refer to page 35 for detail
3. An ACPI-enabled operating system such as Windows 98 or Windows 2000 family is
needed.
a.Inorder toinstallACPI-enabledWindows98operatingsystem,thesetupcommand
should be typed as shown below:
D:\SETUP /P J
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device driver letter is D:).
4. Three ways to enter Suspend-to-RAM status under ACPI-enabled Windows 98:
lClick Start -> Shut down -> Standby to enable the system to enter Suspend-to-
RAMstatus.
lClick Start -> Setup -> Control Panel -> Power Management -> Advanced and
choose Standby item, the system will enter Suspend-to-RAM status when you
press power button.
lFrom Power Management Properties in Control Panel, set the latency time in
System Standby, the system will enter Suspend-to-RAM status when time out.
The same ways used to power up the system can be used to wake up the system from
Suspend-to-RAM status. For example, pushing the power button, through the Wake-on-
LAN,Wake-on-Modemfunction orRTCAlarm.
