2.3 CPU Installation
The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU that you bought must have a fan
attached to it to prevent overheating. If there is no fan on it, please purchase a fan before you
turn on your system.
WARNING! Be sure that sufficient air circulation is available across the processors
passive heatsink. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and dam-
age both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if
necessary.
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 correct orientation as shown below. The picture below is
for reference only. You should have a CPU fan to cover the face of the CPU. With the added
weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted,
close the socket/s lever while holding down the CPU.

2.4 66/100MHz System Configuration
The jumper 2 (JP2) allows you to set FSB (Front Side Bus) to be 66 or 100MHz configuration.
When you set FSB to 66MHz, you can select the system bus frequency from 66MHz to 83.
3MHz through CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI) of Chipset Features Setup in BIOS Setup (Please
refer to page 26). When you set FSB to 100MHz, you can select the system bus frequency
from 100MHz to 150MHz through CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI) of Chipset Features Setup
in BIOS Setup (Please refer to page 26).
NOTE: Because Celeron socket 370 CPU now can support 66MHz FSB only, we strongly
recommend that you set JP2 as 66MHz. Otherwise it may cause system damaged. If
Intel releases new version Celeron CPU to support 100MHz FSB, then you can set JP2
as 100MHz to increase system performance.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION 6
2.5 CPU Internal Frequency Ratio Setting
The switch 1 (SW1) is designated for adjusting the CPU internal frequency ratio. The fre-
quency ratio is defined as the table shown below. The internal frequency can be calculated
by the following formula:
CPU internal frequency = frequency ratio x system bus frequency *
* System bus frequency is set in CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI) of Chipset Features Setup in
BIOS Setup (Please refer to page 26).
NOTE: Because Intel has locked the Socket 370 Celeron CPUs frequency ratio, setting
SW1 to adjust the frequency ratio is useless. Howerer, it may be effective if Intel un-
locks the frequency ratio in the future.

2.7 Keyboard Wake Up (3-pin KB-AWK)
This function disables or enables you to use the keyboard to power up the system. Set this
jumper to Enable if you wish to use your keyboard to power up your computer.
2.8 Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-pin IDE)
This motherboard supports two 40-pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1(primary channel) and
IDE2 (secondary channel). Each channel supports two IDE devices that make total of four
devices. In order to work together, two devices on each channel must be set differently to
master and slave mode, either one can be hard disk or CD-ROM. The setting as master or
slave mode depends on the jumper on your IDE devices. Please refer to their manual
accordingly. Connect your first IDE hard disk to master mode of the primary channel.

CHAPTER 3 BIOS SETUP
3.1 BIOS Setup
Award BIOS has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configu-
ration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM. So it can retain the Setup information when
the power is turned off. When the battery of CMOS fails, it will cause the data lost. When it
happens, you should set up your configuration parameters again after replacing the battery.
3.2 The Main Menu
As you turn on or reboot the system, the BIOS is immediately activated. It will read the system
configuration information, and check the system through Power On Self Test (POST). During
the POST process, press the [Del] key, and you can enter the Award BIOS configuration
system. The following screen will appear.
In the Award BIOS system, you can use the arrows ( ) to highlight the item, and
press the [Enter] key to enter the sub-menu. The following keys help you navigate in Setup.
[ Esc ] Main Menu: Quit and not save changes into CMOS RAM
Other pages: Exit current page and return to Main Menu
[ PgUp ] Increase the numeric value or make changes
[ PgDn ] Decrease the numeric value or make changes
[ + ] Increase the numeric value or make changes
[ - ] Decrease the numeric value or make changes
