System Memory Configuration
This 82440BX mainboard supports 168pin DIMM of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB,
32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB to form a memory size between 8MB to
768MB(SDRAM). 82440BX chipsets provide “Table Free”function. It means
that users can install DRAM with any configuration and in any bank, and that
is why the DRAM table is not needed but do remember that the DRAM must
be 3.3V type.
For 100MHz CPUs environment, the SDRAM specification must comply
with PC-100 spec.

Infrared Port Module Connector (J2 pin6-10)
The system board provides a 5-pin infrared connector-R1 for an optional
wireless transmitting and receiving module. Pin 6 through 10 are Transmit,
GND, Receive (low speed), Receive (high speed), and Vcc, respectively.
PWR Switch (J2 pin12, 13)
Power Switch: Toggle this pin for turning on/off of the Power supply (for ATX
power only).

Speaker Connector (J3 pin1-4)
The speaker connector is a 4-pin connector for connecting the system and the
speaker. (See the following drawing for jumper position.)
Reset Switch (J3 pin5, 6)
The system board has a 2-pin connector for rebooting your computer without
having to turn off your power switch. This prolongs the life of the system’s
power supply.
Power LED and Keylock Switch (J3 pin8-12)
The keylock switch is a 5-pin connector for locking the keyboard for security
purposes. (See the following drawing for jumper position, and pin1~3 are
connected to power LED and pin 4~5 are connected to keylock switch.)
SUSPNED LED (J3 pin14, 15)

nFlash Memory Update Installation
1. Download BIOS files and flash utility from your board vendor. They are:
awdflash.exe and .bin file.
2. Copy them to bootable diskette and boot from diskette.
3. The diskette cannot include memory manager e.g. emm386.exe,qemm and
himem.sys, otherwise there will appear an error message “insufficient
memory”.
4. Type "awdflash filename(XXXX.bin)".
5. Next screen will ask you save current bios to file or not? Depend on your
diskette capacity,choose Y or N for this option.
6. Then screen asks you programming the flash memory now? type Y for this
option.
7. Programming finish,utility will ask you reboot system.
8. Reset system and press DEL key enter bios setup screen.
9. Select LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS,press ENTER,press Y,press F10,press Y
10. Finish update procedure.
