1-5 Main Board Layout with Default Setting 1-6 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.

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.
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:

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

After all connections are made, close the system case cover.
Be sure that all switches are OFF.
Connect the power supply cord to the power supply located on the back of
your system case according to your system user manual.
Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge
protector.
You may then turn ON your devices in the following order:
(1) Your monitor
(2) External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
(3) Your system power For ATX power supplies, you need to switch ON the
power supply if a switch is provided as well as press the ATX power
switch on the front of the case.
The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. For ATX
power supplies, the power LED will light when the ATX power switch is
pressed. The system will then run power-On tests. While the tests are
running, additional messages will appear on the screen. If you do not see
anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the system
may have failed a power-on test. Check your jumper settings and
connections again or call your retailer for assistance.
During power-ON, hold down to enter BIOS setup.
Follow the instructions in chapter 3 BIOS Setup
To power off you computer, you must first exit or shut down your operating
system before switching OFF the power switch. For ATX power supplies,
you can press the ATX power switch after exiting or shutting down your
operating system. If you use Windows 95/98, click the start button,
click shut down, and then click Shut down the computer. The power supply
should turn OFF after Windows shuts down. For ATX power supplies, the
message "You can now safely turn OFF your computer" will not appear
when shutting down the computer.

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.
