If the operating system or application software cannot handle Year 2000 dates, you will still be facing the Y2K threat because it is not a hardware problem that relates to the motherboard itself. According to Award BIOS, it is BIOS source code released after 31 May 1995 complies with all known Y2K issues; however, it may still fail the 2000.exe test. Award has modified its BIOS source code to accommodate the requirements of 2000.exe. Award BIOS source code issued later than 18 November 1996 passes the NTSL 2000.exe test program.

Above 66MHz/100MHz bus speeds are supported but not guaranteed due to the PCI and chipset specifications. Sound Blaster is a registered trademark of Creative Technology Ltd. in the United States and certain other countries. Sound Blaster - LINK and SB-LINK are trademarks of Creative Technology Ltd. Specifications and information contained in this manual are subject to change without notice. Note

Note If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they dont line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, dont worry, you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, dont let the screw contact any printed circuit wire or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.
2-2. Installation of the Celeron PPGA processor
The Intel Celeron PPGA package processor installation, is easy, like Pentiumprocessors before. Because it uses the Socket 370 ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket, it can easily let you fix the processor on to its position firmly. Figure 2-3 shows you what the 370 socket looks like, and how to open the lever. Its pin count is more than socket 7. Therefore, the Pentium level processor cannot be inserted into socket 370. When you raise the lever, you have loosened the socket lock. Please raise the lever to the end, and prepare to insert the processor. Next, you need to align the processor pin 1 to socket pin 1. If you put it in the wrong direction, you will not be able to insert the processor easily, and processor pins will not fully go into the socket. If that is the case, please change the direction, until it easily and fully inserts into the 370 socket. See Figure 2-4. When you finish the above, then push the lever down to its original position, and you should feel the lever lock up the 370 socket. You have then finished the processor installation.
2-3. Installing System Memory
This motherboard provides three 168-pin DIMM sites for memory expansion. The DIMM sockets support 1Mx64 (8MB), 2Mx64 (16MB), 4Mx64 (32MB), 8Mx64 (64MB), 16Mx64 (128MB), and 32Mx64 (256MB) or double sided DIMM modules. Minimum memory size is 8MB and maximum memory size is 768MB SDRAM. There are three Memory module sockets on the system board. (Total six banks) In order to create a memory array, certain rules must be followed. The following set of rules allows for optimum configurations. l The memory array is 64 or 72 bits wide. (depending on with or without parity) l Those modules can be populated in any order. l Supports single and double density DIMMS. Table 2-1. Valid Memory Configurations Bank Bank 0, (DIMM1) Bank 2, (DIMM2) Bank 4, (DIMM3) Memory Module 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB 3 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB 5 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB Total System Memory 1 Total Memory 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 768MB

Generally, installing SDRAM modules to your motherboard is an easy thing to do. You can refer to figure 2-5 to see what a 168-pin PC100 SDRAM module looks like. Unlike installing SIMMs, DIMMs may be "snapped" directly into the socket. Note: Certain DIMM sockets have minor physical differences. If your module doesn't seem to fit, please do not force it into the socket as you may damaged your memory module or DIMM socket. The following procedure will show you how to install a DIMM module into a DIMM socket. Step 1. Before you install the memory module, please place the computer power switch in the off position and disconnect the AC power cord from your computer. Step 2. Remove the computers chassis cover. BM6
Step 3. Before touching any electronic components, make sure you first touch an unpainted, grounded metal object to discharge any static electricity stored on your clothing or body. Step 4. Locate your computers 168-pin memory expansion DIMM socket. Step 5. Insert the DIMM module into the expansion socket as shown in the illustration. Note how the module is keyed to the socket. You can refer to figure 2-6 for the details. This insures the DIMM module will be plugged into the socket in one way only. Firmly press the DIMM module into the DIMM socket, making certain the module is completely seated in the DIMM socket. Step 6. Once the DIMM module has been installed, the installation is complete and the computers cover can be replaced. Or you can continue to install other devices and add-on cards that are mentioned in the following section. Note
When you install a DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket, the eject tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on the both sides.
2-4. Connectors, Headers and Switches
Inside the case of any computer several cables and plugs have to be connected. These cables and plugs are usually connected one-by-one to connectors located on the motherboard. You need to carefully pay attention to any connection orientation the cables may have and, if any, notice the position of the first pin of the connector. In the explanations that follow, we will describe the significance of the first pin. We will show you all connectors, headers and switches here, and tell you how to connect them. Please pay attention and read the whole section for necessary information before attempting to finish all of the hardware installation inside the computer chassis. Figure 2-7 shows you all of the connectors and headers that well discuss in the next section, you can use this diagram to visually locate each connector and header we describe. All connectors, headers and switches mentioned here, will depend on your system configuration. Some features you may (or may not) have and need to connect or configure depending on the peripheral. If your system doesn't have such add-on cards or switches you can ignore some special feature connectors.

A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1. You need to align the wire pin 1 to the FDC1 connector pin 1, then insert the wire connector into the FDC1 connector.
IDE1 and IDE2 Connectors An IDE hard disk drive ribbon cable has 40 wires and two connectors to provide a connection for two IDE hard disk drives. After connecting the single end to the IDE1 (or IDE2), connect the two connectors on the other end to the IDE hard disk drives (or CD-ROM drive, LS-120, etc.). Before you install a hard disk, there are some things you need to be aware of: Primary refers to the first connector on the motherboard, that is, the IDE1 connector on the motherboard. Secondary refers to the second connector on the motherboard, that is, the IDE2 connector on the motherboard. Two hard disks can be connected to each connector: The first HDD is referred to as the Master, The second HDD is referred to as the Slave. For performance issues, we strongly suggest you dont install a CD-ROM drive on the same IDE channel as a hard disk. Otherwise, the system performance on this channel may drop. (how much depends on your CD-ROM drive performance) Note lThe Master or Slave status of the hard disk drive is set on the hard disk itself. Please refer to the hard disk drive users manual. lA red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1. You need to align the wire pin 1 to the FDC1 connector pin 1, then insert the wire connector into the FDC1 connector.
Figure 2-10. BM6 back panel connectors
Figure 2-10 shows the BM6 back panel connectors, these connectors are for connection to outside devices to the motherboard. We will describe which devices will attach to these connectors below.
MS1 Lower: PS/2 Keyboard Connector Attach a PS/2 keyboard connector to this 6pin Din-connector. If you use an AT keyboard, you can go to a computer store to purchase an AT to ATX converter adapter, then you can connect your AT keyboard to this connector. We suggest you use a PS/2 keyboard for best compatibility.
MS1 Upper: PS/2 Mouse Connector Attach a PS/2 mouse to this 6-pin Dinconnector.
USB Port Connectors This motherboard provides two USB ports. Attach the USB connector from the individual device to these connectors. You can attach USB devices such as a, scanner, monitor, mouse, keyboard, hub, CD-ROM, joystick etc. to one of each USB connector. You must make sure your operating system supports this feature and you may need to install an additional driver for individual devices. Please refer to your device users manual for detailed information.

Serial Port COM1 and COM2 Connector This motherboard provides two COM ports, you can connect an external modem, mouse or other devices that support this communication protocol.
Parallel Port Connector This parallel port is also called an LPT port, because it usually connects to the printer. You can connect other devices that support this communication protocol, like a scanner, M.O. drive, etc.

BIOS Setup

Chapter 3. Introduction of The BIOS
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory chip on the motherboard. This program will not be lost when you turn the computer off. This program is also referred to as the boot program. It is the only channel for the hardware circuit to communicate with the operating system. Its main function is to manage the setup of the motherboard and interface cards parameters, including simple parameters such as time, date, hard disk drive, as well as more complex parameters such as hardware synchronization, device operating mode, CPU SOFT MENU II features and setup of CPU speed. The computer will operate normally, or will operate at its best, only if all these parameters are correctly configured through the BIOS.
Dont change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you fully understand their meanings and consequences
The parameters inside the BIOS are used to setup the hardware synchronization or the device operating mode. If the parameters are not correct, they will produce errors, the computer will crash, and sometimes you will even not be able to boot the computer after it has crashed. We recommend that you do not change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you are very familiar with them. If you are not able to boot your computer anymore, please refer to the section Erase CMOS data in Chapter 2. When you start the computer, it is controlled by the BIOS program. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (Power On Self Test) for all the necessary hardware, it then configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization, and detects all the hardware. Only when these tasks are completed does it give up control of the computer to the program of the next level, which is the operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate, it will be the key factor for system stability, and in insuring that your system performs at its best. After the BIOS has achieved the auto-diagnostic and auto-detection operations, it will display the following message: PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP The message will be displayed for three to five seconds, if you press the Del key, you will access the BIOS Setup menu. At that moment, the BIOS will display the following message:

Chapter3

Figure 3-1. CMOS Setup Utility In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use here: l Press Esc to quit the BIOS Setup. l Press down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want (up, to confirm or to modify. l Press F10 when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu. l Press Page Up/Page Down or +/- keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for the active option. Computer Knowledge: CMOS Data
Maybe you have heard somebody saying that their CMOS DATA was lost. What is the CMOS? Is it important? The CMOS is the memory used to store the BIOS parameters that you have configured. This memory is passive. You can read its data, and you can also store data in it. But this memory has to be powered by a battery, in order to avoid any loss of its data when the computer is turned off. Since you may have to change the CMOS battery when it is out of power and if doing so, you will loose all CMOS data, therefore, we recommend that you write down all the parameters of your hardware, or to put a label with these parameters on your hard disk. BM6
3-1. CPU Setup [SOFT MENU II]
The CPU can be setup through a programmable switch (CPU SOFT MENUI I ), that replaces the traditional manual hardware configuration. This feature allows the user to more easily complete the installation procedures. You can install the CPU without configuring any jumpers or switches. The CPU must be setup according its specifications. In the first option, you can press <F1> at any time to display all the items that can be chosen for that option.
Figure 3-2. CPU SOFT MENU II
CPU Name Is: Intel Celeron MMX
CPU Operating Speed: This option sets the CPU speed. In this field, the CPU speed is indicated like this: CPU speed = External clock * Multiplier factor, select the CPU speed according the type and the speed of your CPU.
For Intel Celeron PPGA MMX processors, you can choose the following settings: 300 (66*4.5) 433 (66*6.5) 333 (66*5) 400 (100*4) 366 (66*5.5) 450 (100*4.5) 400 (66*6) 500 (100*5)
CPU bus speed above 66MHz/100MHz supported but not guaranteed due to the PCI and chipset specs. User defined external clock and multiplier factor: User Defined

Warning

The wrong settings of the multiplier and external clock in certain circumstances may cause CPU damage. Setting the working frequency higher than the PCI chipset or processor specs, may cause abnormal memory module functioning, system hangs, hard disk drive data lose, abnormal functioning of the VGA card, or abnormal functioning with other add-on cards. Using non-specification settings for your CPU is not the intention of this explanation. These should be used for engineering testing, not for normal applications. If you use non-specification settings for normal operation, your system may not be stable, and may effect system reliability. Also, we do not guarantee the stability and compatibility for settings that are not within specification, and any damage of any elements on the motherboard or peripherals, is not our responsibility. / Turbo Frequency: This item will only be displayed if your CPU external clock supports Turbo Mode. The Turbo mode allows you to speed up the external clock by approximately 2.5%. This feature is used to verify the design flexibility. It is a very important tool for test units to verify CPU stability. Do not use this feature. Disabled: CPU external clock is operating within the normal limits. Enabled: CPU external clock is operating within the limits of the Turbo mode.

The increase by 2.5% of the CPU speed is not a standard feature of this product. It is only for use by our development department to verify that the CPU is able to work normally when CPU speed, operating temperature and power supply are 2.5% higher or lower than the standard values. This is to guarantee product stability. We require the manufacturer of the Clock Generator to meet the demands of our development department and to add a TURBO Frequency feature used for testing purposes by our R&D department. Of course, you can use this feature to test the stability of your own system, but after you have tested the product, we recommend that you set it back to its normal value in order to guarantee system stability. / External Clock: 66MHz (1/2) 100MHz(1/3) 112MHz (1/3)* 124MHz (1/3)* 133MHz (1/4)*
75MHz (1/3)* 105MHz (1/3)* 115MHz (1/3)* 124MHz (1/4)*
83MHz (1/2)* 110MHz (1/3)* 120MHz (1/3)* 133MHz (1/3)*
CPU bus speed above 66MHz/100MHz supported but not guaranteed due to the PCI and chipset specs. / Multiplier Factor: You can choose the following multiplier factors: 2.0 6.5 2.5 7.0 3.0 7.5 3.5 8.0 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5 6.0
However, differences will exist because of the various brands and types available. / SEL100/66# Signal: This default setting is High at 100MHz, and Low at 66MHz. When you want to try a higher multiplier factor at 100MHz and cannot choose it in the High state, you can set it to the Low state.
According to Celeron PPGA MMX processor types, some Celeron PPGA MMX processors will have the multiplier factor locked and the signal disabled. In this situation, there is no way to choose a higher multiplier factor. / AGPCLK/CPUCLK: The default setting is 2/3. In this state, the AGP bus speed will be the CPU bus speed divided by 3 and times 2. If you choose the setting to 1/1 , the AGP bus speed will equal to the CPU bus speed. / Speed Error Hold: The default setting is Disabled. If you change the setting to Enabled when the CPU speed setting is wrong, the system will hold. Normally, we do not recommend that you use the User Define option to setup CPU speed and multiplier factors This option is for setup of future CPUs whose specifications are still unknown. The specifications of all present CPUs are included in the default settings. Unless you are very familiar with all CPU parameters, it is very easy to make mistakes when you define the external clock and the multiplier factor by yourself. Solution in case of booting problem due to invalid clock setup: Normally, if the CPU clock setup is wrong, you will not be able to boot. In this case, turn the system off then on again. The CPU will automatically use its standard parameters to boot. You can then enter the BIOS Setup again and set up the CPU clock. If you cant enter the BIOS setup, you must try turning the system on a few times (3~4 times) or press INSERT key when turning on and the system will automatically use its standard parameters to boot. You can then enter BIOS SETUP again and set up the new parameters. When you change your CPU: This motherboard has been designed in such a way that you can turn the system on after having inserted a CPU in the socket without having to configure any jumpers or DIP switches. But if you change your CPU, normally you just have to turn off the power supply, change the CPU and then, set up the CPU parameters through SOFT MENUII. However, if the new CPU is slower than the old one (and is same brand and type), we offer you two methods to successfully complete the CPU change operation.

Drive A: If you have installed the floppy disk drive here, then you can select the type of floppy drive it can support. Six options are available: None360K, 5.25 in. 1.2M, 5.25in. 720K, 3.5 in. 1.44M, 3.5 in. 2.88M, 3.5 in. Back to None.

You can see your system memory list in the lower right box, it shows the Base Memory, Extended Memory and other Memory size configuration in your system.
3-3. BIOS Features Setup Menu
In each item, you can press <F1> at any time to display all the options for this item. Attention
BIOS Features Setup Menu has already been set for maximum operation. If you do not really understand each of the options in this menu, we recommend you use default values.
Figure 3-4. BIOS Features Setup
Virus Warning: This item can be set as Enable or Disable. When this feature is enabled, if there is any attempt from a software or an application to access the boot sector or the partition table, the BIOS will warn you that a boot virus is attempting to access to the hard disk.
CPU Level 1 Cache: This item is used to Enable or to Disable the CPU level 1 cache. When the cache is set at Users Manual
Disable, it is much slower, so the default setting for this item is Enable. Some old and very poorly written programs will make the computer malfunction or crash if the system speed is too high. In that case, you should Disable this feature.
CPU Level 2 Cache: This item is used to enable or to disable the CPU level 2 cache. When the external cache is enabled, the system works faster. The default is Enable.
CPU Level 2 Cache ECC Checking: This item is used to enable or to disable the CPU level 2 cache ECC checking function.
Quick Power On Self Test: After the computer has been powered on, the BIOS of the motherboard will run a series of tests in order to check the system and its peripherals. If the Quick power on self-test feature is Enable, the BIOS will simplify the test procedures in order to speed up the boot process. The default is Enable.

The system consumption is reduced according the following sequence: Normal > Doze > Standby > Suspend
1. In the Main Menu, select "Power Management Setup" and press "Enter". The following screen is displayed:
Figure 3-6. Power Management Setup Menu
2. Use the arrow keys to go to the item you want to configure. To change the settings, use PgUP, PgDn, + or - key. 3. After you have configured the Power Management feature, press Esc to go back to the Main Menu. We are now going to briefly explain the options in this menu:
ACPI Function (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. There are two options that can be selected, Enabled and Disabled. You can select Enabled to enable ACPI functions. If you want ACPI functions to work normally, you should notice two things. One is your operating system must support ACPI, as of now only Microsoft Windows 98 supports these functions. The second thing is that all devices and add-on cards in your system, must fully support ACPI, both hardware and software (drivers). If you want to know if your devices or add-on cards support ACPI or not, please contact the device or add-on card manufacture for more information. If you want to know more about ACPI specifications, please go to the address below for more detailed information: http://www.teleport.com/~acpi/acpihtml/home.htm ACPI requires an ACPI-aware operating system. ACPI features include: l Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) and APM functionality normally contained in the BIOS. l Power management control of individual devices, add-in cards (some add-in cards may require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives. l A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power off the computer. l Support for multiple wake up events (see Table 5-1). l Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch. Table 5-2 describes the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system. Note
