9WMV/V + Series User's Manual 1-5 Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard. Observing a few basic precautions can help you safeguard against damage that could result in expensive repairs. Follow the measures below to protect your equipment from static discharge: Keep the motherboard and other system components in their antistatic packaging until you are ready to install them. Touch a grounded surface before you remove any system component from its protective antistatic packaging. A grounded surface within easy reach is the expansion slot covers at the rear of the system case. or any other unpainted portion of the system chassis. During configuration and installation, touch a ground surface frequently to discharge any static electric charge that may build up in your body. Another option is to wear a grounding wrist strap. When handling a motherboard or an adapter card, avoid touching its components. Handle the motherboard and adapter cards either by the edges or by the mounting bracket that attaches to the slot opening in the case.

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:

Installation Procedures
The mainboard has some user-adjustable jumpers on the board that allow you to configure your system to suit your requirements. This chapter contains information on the various jumper settings on your mainboard. To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: 1. Setting system jumpers. 2. Install RAM modules. 3. Install CPU & FAN. 4. Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply. 5. Set up BIOS. 6. Set up system drivers and utility. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. Note: When you open the jumper, attach the plastic jumper cap to one of the pins so you won't lose it. Warning: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your board whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the board. Modem electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis. CPU External Frequency Settings:(JP5A,JP5B) The Motherboard supports Intel Socket 370 CPUs with 66MHz or 100MHz or 133MHz(9WEMV/V+ series only) external frequency. Setting the jumper according to the external frequency of the CPU you are going to install on the motherboard. states
1 BIOS auto-detect CPU Frequency(66/100MHZ)

2-1 Setting System Jumpers
You may configure your motherboard to match the needs of your applications by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To "open" a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, 3. In this case you would connect either pin 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

2-3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The Motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370 and a SLOT 1. The CPU that came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this in not the case, then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor heat sink, or the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. 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 angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown. The notched corner should point towards the end of the lever. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only be fitted in the orientation as shown. The picture is for reference only: you should have a CPU fan that covers the top side 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 lever while holding down the CPU.

AWARD BIOS Setup 3-1 Introduction
This manual discusses Award TM Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. The AwardBIOS TM installed in your computer system's ROM (Read Only Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a standard IBM-AT compatible input/output system. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports. The AwardBIOS TM has been customized by adding important, but non-standard, features such as virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system. The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup. Starting Setup The AwardBIOS TM is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system. While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways: 1. By pressing immediately after switching the system on, or 2. By pressing the key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self-Test). Press DEL to enter SETUP. If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing , , and keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to... 3-1

Once you enter the AwardBIOS TM CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept and enter the sub-menu.

In Case of Problems If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS TM supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults. The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override. A Final Note About Setup Not all systems have the same Setup. While the basic look and function of the Setup program remains the same for all systems, individual motherboard and chipset combinations require custom configurations. For example, you may find that your Setup main menu has a different number of entries from the main menu displayed in this manual. These are simply features not supported (or not user configurable) on your system. The final appearance of the Setup program also depends on the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who built your system. If your OEM has decided that certain items should only be available to their technicians, those items may very well be removed from the Setup program.

Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the screen. Setup Items The main menu includes the following main setup categories. Recall that some systems may not include all entries. Standard CMOS Features Use this menu for basic system configuration. Advanced BIOS Features Use this menu to set the Advanced Features available on your system.

3-5 Advanced Chipset Features/Integrated Peripherals

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips. SDRAM CAS Latency Time When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. The Choice: 2, 3 3-13
