Introduction to New Features
BIOS Write Protection
The BIOS of the mainboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. Severe viruses such as
CIH 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 close, the BIOS can not be overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (JAV) as open, 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/66
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, this time 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. The faster strobe rate
increases EMI, which cannot be eliminated by the standard 40-pin cable used by ATA
and Ultra ATA. To eliminate this increase in EMI, a new 40-pin, 80-conductor cable is
needed. This cable adds 40 additional ground lines between each of the original 40
groundand signal lines.The additional40 lineshelp shield thesignal fromEMI, reduce
crosstalk and improves signal integrity.
Ultra ATA/33 introduced CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check), a new feature of IDE that
provides data integrity and reliability. Ultra ATA/66 uses the same process. The CRC
value is calculated by both the host and the hard drive. After the host-request data is
sent, the host sends its CRC to the hard drive, and the hard drive compares it to its
own CRC value. If the hard drive reports errors to the host, then the host retries the
commandcontainingtheCRCerror.
Ultra ATA/66 technology increases both performance and date integrity. However there
are basically five requirements for your system to run in Ultra ATA/66 mode:
1. The system board must have a special Ultra ATA/66 detect circuit, such as
Superb3Lmainboard.
2. The system BIOS must also support Ultra ATA/66.
3. The operating system must be capable of DMA transfers. Win95 (OSR2) and
Win98arecapable.
4. An Ultra ATA/66 capable, 40-pin, 80-conductor cable is required.
5. Ultra ATA/66 compatible IDE device such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive.

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 systemcontextis 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.InordertoinstallACPI-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.

Thissection coversExternalConnectors, JumperSettings andMemory Configuration.Re-
ferto the mainboardlayout chartfor locations ofall jumpers, externalconnectors, slotsand
I/O ports. Furthermore, this section lists all necessary connector pin assignments for your
reference. The particular state of the jumpers, connectors and ports are illustrated in the
following figures. Before setting the jumpers or inserting these connectors, please pay
attention to the directions.
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing expansion
cards or other system peripherals, otherwise your mainboard and expansion
cards might be seriously damaged.
External Connectors
PS/2 Keyboard Connector, PS/2 Mouse Connector
PS/2 keyboard connector is for the usage of PS/2 keyboard. If using a standard AT size
keyboard, an adapter should be used to fit this connector. PS/2 mouse connector is for the
usageof PS/2mouse.
USB1,USB2
Two USB ports are available for connecting USB devices.
Parallel Port Connector, Serial Port Connector, Monitor Output Con-
nector (Parallel, UART1, VGA Monitor)
The parallel port connector can be connected to a parallel device such as a printer, while
the serial port connector can be connected to a serial port device such as a serial port
mouse. The monitor output connector is for output to a VGA-compatible device. You can
enable/disable them and choose the IRQ or I/O address in “Integrated Peripherals” from
AWARD BIOS SETUP.
