Precautions
===========
Make sure you ground yourself before handling the mainboard or other system

components. Electrostatic discharge will damage mainboard. Note that you must
take special precaution when handling the mainboard in dry or air-conditioned
environments.
The precaution below is to protect the mainboard from electrostatic discharge.
* Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install the
mainboard and other system components.
* Ground yourself before removing any system component from its protective
anti-static packaging. To ground yourself, grasp the expansion slot covers or
other unpainted portion computer chassis.
* Frequently ground yourself while working ,or use a grounding strap.
* Handle the mainboard by the edges and avoid touching its components.

SRAM Configuration
==================
SRAM Configuration is used to configure the external cache of the mainboard.
External cache can be configured by using 32K*8 and 64K*8 DIP type SRAM or
synchronous cache module.
There are 3 types external cache configuration.
A. DIP Type SRAM (Asynchronous Cache with pin legs)
JP20 SRAM TAG RAM
256K cache size 1-2 32K*8 8K*8 / 16K*8 / 32K*8
512K cache size 2-3 64K*8 16K*8 / 32K*8
Note: Please use mix (3/5 volt) or 3 volt DIP cache.
B. Cache Module With Built-in TAG RAM(Synchronous Cache)
Please remove DIP type SRAM on the mainboard because Asynchronous and
Synchronous can't be simultaneously installed.
C. Cache Module Without Built-in TAG RAM (Synchronous Cache)
JP20 TAG RAM
256K cache size 1-2 8K * 8 / 16K * 8 / 32K * 8 TAG RAM
on the U19 socket
512K cache size 2-3 16K*8 / 32K * 8 TAG RAM

on the U19 socket
page 2-6
SRAM Voltage Selector
=====================
MP058 provides two types of voltage value for the SRAM, 5V voltage for
mix-mode DIP type SRAM , 3.3V voltage for 3.3V DIP type SRAM and synchronous
cache module.
JP29 JP30
OPEN 1-2,3-4,5-6 for MIX Mode SRAM
1-2,3-4,5-6 OPEN for 3.3 Volts DIP SRAM or
Synchronous Cache Module
AT Bus Speed Selector Yellow jumper Cap
=======================================

this mainboard. Module with more that 24 chips exceeds the design
specification of the memory subsystem and will cause unreliable
operation.

CMOS Charge / Discharge slack jumper Cap
========================================
CMOS Charge / Discharge is used to discharge and charge CMOS. If you discharge
the CMOS all the data will be erased.

Mainboard Connectors
====================
J1 Speaker connector will be connected the speaker of your computer case.
J2 Reset Switch connector will be connected in your computer case front
panel. Resetting the system, it will restart the computer from
self-test without turning off the power supply. This connection is
always off position.
J3 Onboard HDD LED connector will be connected in your computer case
front panel.
J4 Keylock and Power LED connector will be connected in your computer
case front panel. Keylock is used to lock the keyboard. Power LED will
light up when you turn on your power supply.
MS1 PS/2 Mouse connector , this is used for PS/2 mouse. (In mainframe
case) Note: PS/2 mouse cable is optional.
KB1 Keyboard connector ,this is used for inputting signal from the
keyboard.
PW1 Power Supply connector is connected from the output of the power
supply. Most of the power supply has two connectors which will be
connected to the mainboard. Each connector has six wire , two of the
wires are black. To connect to the mainboard, make sure that the black
wire is in the middle. Wrong connection will cause damage to the
mainboard.
TB/SW Turbo Switch Connector will be connected in your computer case front
panel.
TB/LED Turbo LED Connector will be connected in your computer case front
panel.

AWARD BIOS SETUP
Award BIOS support plug and play function and has a built-in setup program
that allows the users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of
information is stored in CMOS so that it retains the setup information when

the power is turned off.
1. Turn on or reboot the system. when the below message appears at the
bottom of the screen during the POST ( Power On Self Test ) press DEL
key to enter setup.
2. Press the DEL key to enter the Award BIOS program and the main menu
will appear on the screen. The main menu allows you to select from ten
setup functions and two exit choices.
3. For the safe, please select "LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS" for BIOS setup.
