Up to four IDE interface devices are supported. 2-6 Chapter 2 Jumper Switches You set jumper switches on the mainboard to configure various hardware options. See Figure 1-1 for jumper locations. Throughout this section the following symbols are used to indicate jumper settings. For 3-pin jumpers, the symbols below are used: Short Pins 1 and 2 with a jumper cap. Short Pins 2 and 3 with a jumper cap. For 2-pins jumpers, the following symbols are used: Place the jumper cap over the two pins of the jumper to Short the jumper. Remove the jumper cap to Open the jumper cap. Note: To avoid losing jumper caps, attach the removed jumper cap to one of the jumper pins. Hardware Setup 2-7 CCMOS - CMOS Discharge Jumper Jumper CCMOS discharge CMOS memory. When you install the mainboard, make sure this jumper is set for Normal Operation(1-2). See the jumper as below. Setting CCMOS Normal Operation (Default) Discharge CMOS JR1 - ATX Power Power-On Setting JR1 Low active High active (Default) 2-8 Chapter 2 JD1 - DIMM Power Select Setting JD1 5V 3.3V (Default) Installation of CPU The mainboard is equipped with a CPU-SLOT1 slot to accommodate the KP6 CPU card and Intel Pentium®II CPU or above. The default clock rate setting for KP6 CPU card is 150MHz and Pentium®II CPU is 233MHz depend on autodetect from BIOS. But there is an advantage way for setup menu. The details please refer the chapter 3 "Award BIOS Setup". Hardware Setup 2-9 Installation of Memory The mainboard provides four 72-pin SIMM and two 168-pin DIMM sites for memory expansion. The SIMM socket supports 1Mx32(4MB), 2Mx32(8MB), 4Mx32(16MB), 8Mx32(32MB), 16Mx32(64MB), and 32Mx32(128MB) single side or double side SIMM modules. The DIMM socket supports 1Mx64(8MB), 2Mx64(16MB), 4Mx64(32MB), 8Mx64(64MB), 16Mx64(128MB), and 32Mx64(256MB) or double side DIMM modules. Minimum memory size is 8MB and Maximum memory size will be 1GB. There are four banks of Memory on the system board. In order to create a memory array certain rules must be followed. The following set of rules allows for optimum configurations. l SIMM modules must be populated in pairs; the memory array is 64 or 72 bits wide. (Without parity or with parity) l Those modules can populated in any order. l SIMM modules pairs need to populated with the same densities, single or double. For example, Bank0 must populated with identical densities. However Bank1 can be populated with different densities than Bank0. l The asymmetrical DRAM modules should be the same type in the same bank. l The EDO DRAM modules can mixed with standard page mode DRAM module, but must not be in the same bank. For example, Bank0 can be populated with EDO DRAM module. Each bank will be optimized for that type of memory according to the BIOS setup. The following is the valid memory configuration: Bank Bank0 (SIMM1, 2) Bank1 (SIMM3, 4) Bank2 (DIMM1) Bank3 (DIMM2) Memory Module 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB 8MB,16MB,32MB,64MB, 128MB, 256MB 8MB,16MB,32MB,64MB, 128MB, 256MB Total System Memory x2 x2 x1 x1 +)= Total Memory 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 1GB 2-10 Chapter 2 Award BIOS Setup 3-1 Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup All personal computer use a BIOS, or Basic Input / Output system, to provide control for the hardware functions. When system is powered on or reset, the CPU is reset and BIOS will do the following: Self-test on CPU. Verify ROM BIOS checksum. Verify CMOS configuration chip. Initialize timer. Initialize DMA controller. Verify system memory and cache memory. Install all BIOS function call utilities. Verify/initialize all system configurations, like keyboard, floppy drive, hard disk, initialize EGA or VGA if there is any. l Hook to the add-in BIOS (include NCR PCI SCSI BIOS) or expansion BIOS to perform initialization and driver link to the system. Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in batterybacked RAM so that the setup information is retained when the power is turned off. When the system is powered on or reset, the Award BIOS will display a copyright message on the screen, then the BIOS will perform the system diagnostics test and initialization. When all of the above tests have been passed, the message: "TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL KEY" l l l l l l l l 3-2 Chapter 3 is display. If the [Del] key or Ctrl-Alt-Esc is pressed, the screen will be cleared and then the following message will be shown: ROM PCI/ISA BIOS (XXXXXXXX) CMOS SETUP UTILITY AWARD SOFTWARE, INC. !!
