1INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Shuttle® SpacewalkerTM HOT-687 computer mainboard.
HOT-687 is a highly integrated IBM PC/ATX compatible system board designed to meet the industry's
most demanding desktop applications.
Based on the Intel 82440BX AGPset chipset which support up to 500MHz PPGA Celeron processor
with MMX technology.
HOT-687 is equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port (A.G.P.), a high-performance interconnect
for graphic-intensive application, such as 3D applications. The A.G.P. is independent of the PCI bus
and is designed to exclusively use with graphical-display devices. The HOT-687 supports 3.3 V
A.G.P. devices with data transfer rates up to 133 MHz, allowing data throughput of 500 MB/sec.
The Intel's 82440BX AGPset chipset provides an integrated Bus Mastering IDE controller with two
high performance IDE interfaces which allows up to four IDE devices connection and up to 33 MB/
sec of data transfer rates.
Onboard FM801 is an advanced PCI audio controller, it is compatible with Microsoft Windows,
DirectX and Adlib Music Synthesizer, Sound Blaster Pro and supports thousands of DOS games.
The on-board I/O controller provides standard PC I/O functions:
floppy drive interface, two FIFO serial ports, an IrDA device port and a SPP/EPP/ECP capable
parallel port.
HOT-687 is built with three PCI local bus slots providing a high bandwidth data path for data-
movement intensive functions such as graphics, and with one ISA slot.
HOT-687 provides the foundation for cost effective, high performance and highly expandable plat-
forms, which delivers the latest in the Intel PPGA Celeron processor and new advanced chipset
technology.

3HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Then you should have a CPU fan that
will cover the face of the CPU. Apply
thermal jelly to the CPU metallic top and
then install the fan onto the CPU. (Figure
2-2 )
Install The CPU
The Installation PPGA Celeron Processor
HOT-687 mainboard provides a 370-pin ZIF Socket370 for Intel PPGA Celeron CPU. The
CPU that came with the mainboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If
this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF Socket370
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 correct orientation as shown.(Figure 2-1) Use
the notched corner of the CPU as your guide. The notched corner should point towards the
end of the lever. Notice that there are two blank area where one hole is missing from that
corner of the square array of pin holes. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four
corner, the CPU will only fit in the one orientationn, hold down on the CPU and close the
socket’s lever.

Jumpers
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper pins
on the main board. The jumper's pin 1 on main board will be on the top or on the left when
holding the main board with the keyboard connector away from yourself.
Jumpers with two pins will be shown as for Close (On) and for Open (Off).
To connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins.
CPU Clock Speed and ratio Selection - JP6 and JP10
HOT-687 mainboard features a clock generator to provide adjustable system clock fre-
quency. JP6 is a 8-pin jumpers which determine the system clock frequency 66 MHz to 150
MHz. and JP10 is a 8-pin jumper which determine the processor clock ratio from 2X to 8X.
Figure 2-3 shows the position of JP6 and JP10 on the mainboard.
Table 2-1 shows adjustable System clock on jumper JP6.
Table 2-2 shows adjustable CPU Clock Ratios on jumper group JP10.

setup.
HOT-687 mainboard supports jumper
JP9 for discharging mainboard's CMOS
memory.
This jumper can clear the CMOS data
stored in the Giga I/O chip. To clear the
CMOS data please follow listed steps:
1) Turn off the PC,
2) Remove mini jumper from JP9 pin 1-2,
3) Insert mini jumper to JP9 pin 2-3 for a
brief while,
4) Remove mini jumper from JP9 in 2-3,
5) Reinsert mini jumper to JP9 pin 1-2,
6) Turn on the PC.
HOT-687 mainboard provides a special Jumper JP5 to overspeed your 66 MHz based Intel
PPGA Celeron processor to 100 MHz when jumper group JP10 set to MANUAL.
Normally, CPU Host Clock 100 ~ 133 MHz are not available for 66 MHz based processor no
matter Soft-Configure or Hard-Configure.
But, when pull out mini jumper from JP5
(let it open), the user can Hard-Configure
your 66 MHz based processor to 100
MHz based. For example, overspeed
your 333 MHz (66 MHz x 5) PPGA
Celeron to 400 MHz (100 x 4) or more.

MEMORY CONFIGURATION
4
4
The HOT-687 mainboard provides three 168-pin DIMM sockets that make it possible to
install from 8MB up to 768MB of SDRAM. The DIMM socket support 8MB, 16MB,
32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB 3.3V single- or double- side SDRAM DIMM.
The three DIMM sockets are arranged in three banks of one socket each, Each bank pro-
vides a 64/72-bit wide data path.
HOT-687 provides optional data integrity features including EC (Error Checking) or ECC
(Error Checking and Correcting) in the memory array. EC mode provides single and
multiple bit error detection. In ECC mode, during reads from the DRAM, the HOT-687
provides error checking and correction of the data.
To support ECC, you must use true (opposed to phantom parity generated by TTL chips) 72-
bit parity-type DIMM for all modules.
Install Memory
Install memory in any or all of the banks and in any combination, as follows:

Upgrade Memory
You can easily upgrade the system memory by inserting additional SDRAM modules in
available DIMM banks. The total system memory is calculated by simply adding up the
memory in all DIMM banks. After upgrade, the new system memory value will automati-
cally be computed and displayed by the BIOS Standard CMOS Setup menu.

5FLASH UTILITY
This chapter briefly discusses Award Flash utility in order to guide you through updating
your old BIOS. The file name we use to program here is test.bin, and the file name to save
old BIOS is 687.OLD. Please note that those file names are not absolute. They are only
examples to let you have a more clear understanding of the updating process.
How to Begin
1. Please type “awdflash” and press the ENTER key to begin the updating process.
2. Once you enter, you will see a main menu displaying:
3. Move the cursor to “File Name to Program: “
4. Type the program name “test.bin”, and then press the ENTER key.
5. At the bottom of the menu, you will be requested to answer:
“Do You Want to Save BIOS (Y/N)? “
The following manual is intended to guide you through the process of both “No” and “Yes”
cases respectively.
If “No”
If you do not wish to save the old BIOS:
1. Please type “N”, and then press the ENTER key.
2. Then you will be requested to answer:
“Are You Sure to Program? “
3. Answer “N” if you do not want to program, and then it will exit.

- 19 -
5. Type “Y” to begin programming, and press the ENTER key.
6. When the programming is finished, the showing message will appear:
7. Once you see the showing message “Power Off or Reset System”, please restart your
system.
8. When you power on the computer again, you will find your old BIOS has already
been successfully updated.
To view a complete usage of FLASH utility, please type “awdflash /?” and press the EN-
TERkey.
Notes About Award Flash Utility
Please note that Award Flash Utility cannot run under EMM386 or QEMM. Thus, when
executing the command “awdflash”, an error message will appear:
“Error Message: Fail — Due to EMM386 or QEMM !”
If “Yes”
To save the old BIOS:
1. Please respond “Y”, and then press the ENTER key.
2. Move the cursor to “File Name to Save: “
3. Type file name “TEST.BIN”, and then press the ENTER key. (Your old BIOS will be
saved in the file name you create. In this case, the old BIOS is saved in the file
name,687.OLD).
4. Then you will be requested to answer:
“Are You Sure to Program (Y/N)? “
