highly integrated, high performance HyperTransport peripheral controller, unmatched by any other single
chip-device controller. This motherboard supports up to 8 GB of system memory with Dual channel DDR3
1333 MHz. 10 USB 2.0 ports (4 USB ports and 3 USB 2.0 headers support additional 6 USB ports) and SATA
support.
There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors,
one VGA port, four USB ports, one LAN port and audio jacks for microphone, line-in and 6-channel line-out.
This motherboard is designed in a Micro ATX form factor using a four-layer printed circuit board and
measures 200 mm x 200 mm.

Using BIOS
About the Setup Utility
The computer uses the latest American Megatrends Inc. BIOS will support for Windows Plug and Play. The
CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the motherboard BIOS.
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the systems configuration status and provides
you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that
saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured
with the values you stored in CMOS.

If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to allow BIOS flashing.
If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Advanced BIOS features,
disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents BIOS from being overwritten.
Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for information on creating a
bootable system disk.)
Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturers Website. Copy these files
to the system diskette you created in Step 3.
Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your computers diskette drive. (You
might need to run the Setup Utility and change the boot priority items on the Advanced BIOS
Features Setup page, to force your computer to boot from the floppy diskette drive first.)
At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and press <Enter>.
Type the filename of the new BIOS in the File Name to Program text box. Follow the onscreen
directions to update the motherboard BIOS.
When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from the diskette drive and restart
your computer. If your motherboard has a Flash BIOS jumper, reset the jumper to protect the
newly installed BIOS from being overwritten.
Using BIOS
When you start the Setup Utility, the main menu appears. The main menu of the Setup Utility displays a list of
the options that are available. A highlight indicates which option is currently selected. Use the cursor arrow keys
to move the highlight to other options. When an option is highlighted, execute the option by pressing <Enter>.
Some options lead to pop-up dialog boxes that prompt you to verify that you wish to execute that option. Other
options lead to dialog boxes that prompt you for information.
Some options (marked with a triangle u ) lead to submenus that enable you to change the values for
the op tion . Use the cu rsor arrow keys to sc ro ll th rough the items in the su bmenu.

NOTE: When Post executes a task, it uses a series of preset numbers called check points to be latched
at port 80h, indicating the stages it is currently running. This latch can be read and shown on a debug

The following table describes the BIOS common tasks carried out by POST. Each task is denoted by an
unique check point number. For other unique check point numbers that are not listed in the table, refer to
the corresponding product service guide.

If you cannot run the diagnostics program tests but did receive a POST error message, use POST Error
Messages List to diagnose system problems. If you did not receive any error message, look for a
description of your error symptoms in Error Symptoms List on page 66.
NOTE: When you have deemed it necessary to replace an FRU, and have done so, you must run a total
system check to ensure that no other activity has been affected by the change. This system
check can be done through the diagnostics program.
NOTE: Check all power supply voltages, switch, and jumper settings before you replace the main board.
Also check the power supply voltages if you have a system no-power condition.
If you are unable to correct the problem by using the BIOS Messages List table and Error Symptoms
List table, go to Undetermined Problems.
To diagnose a problem, first find the BIOS error messages in the left column. If directed to a check
procedure, replace the FRU indicated in the check procedure. If no check procedure is indicated, the first
Action/FRU listed in right column is the most likely cause.
BIOS Messages
Action/FRU
BIOS ROM
checksum error System halted
The checksum of the BIOS code in the BIOS chip is incorrect, indicating the BIOS
code may have become corrupt. Contact your system dealer to replace the BIOS.

The CMOS battery is no longer functional. Contact your system dealer for a
replacement the BIOS.

The display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color.
This message indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated

then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and
change the Video selection.

Keyboard Error Or
No Keyboard
Present
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no
keys are pressed during POST. To purposely configure the system without a
keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD.
The BIOS then ignores the missing keyboard during POST.
Keyboard is locked
out - Unlock the key
This message usually indicates that one or more keys have been pressed during the
keyboard tests. Be sure no objects are resting on the keyboard.
Memory Test:
This message displays during a full memory test, counting down the memory
areas being tested.
If POST detects an error during memory testing, additional information appears giving
specifics about the type and location of the memory error.
If the system cannot boot using the current CMOS configuration, the BIOS can
override the current configuration with a set of BIOS defaults designed for the most
stable, minimal-performance system operations.
System OEMs may replace the Phoenix Technologies Award BIOS POST display
with their own proprietary display. Including this message in the OEM display
permits the operator to switch between the OEM display and the default POST
display.

Jumper and Connector Information
Jumper Setting
This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the mainboard.
Setting Jumper
Use the motherboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with more than one pin are
numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.
Description
The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper. When
the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the
jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper
cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin,
the jumper is OPEN.

To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use
a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink installation
procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form

Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install
it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not touch the
components or metal parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.

PCIE16X Slot
The PCI Express x16 slot is used to install an external PCI Express graphics card
that is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 2.0
PCIE1X1 Slot
The PCI Express x1 slot is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification
revision 2.0 as well.
Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card carefully. If the card
is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually configure the card before installation.
82
Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you are going to
use.
Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot. Ensure that the edge
connector is correctly seated in the slot.
Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.
1.For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapters,
you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the add-on
card.
2. The onboard PCI interface does not support 64-bit SCSI cards.
