3. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE) These connectors support the provided Ultra ATA/133 IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cables blue connector to the primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the Ultra ATA/133 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the Ultra ATA/133 master device. Connecting non-Ultra ATA/133 devices to the secondary IDE connector is recommended.

K8V-MX IDE connectors

Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the Ultra ATA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you connect the cables. For Ultra ATA/133 IDE devices, use an 80-conductor IDE cable. The hole near the blue connector on the Ultra ATA/133 cable is intentional.
4. Digital audio connector (3- pin SPDIF) This connector is for the S/PDIF audio module that allows digital sound input.
Use 75 ohm impedance matched coaxial cables for your S/PDIF connection. The S/PDIF module is purchased separately.

Reset button (2-pin RESET) This connector is for the chassis-mounted reset button for system reboot without turning off the system power. ATX power button/soft-off button (2-pin PWRBTN) This connector is for the system power button. Pressing the power button turns the system on or puts the system in sleep or soft-off mode depending on the BIOS settings. Pressing the power switch for more than four seconds while the system is ON turns the system OFF. System Management Interrupt (2-pin SMI) This connector is for the chassis-mounted suspend switch that allows you to manually place the system into a suspend mode, or green mode. When in suspend mode, the system activity is instantly decreased to save power and to expand the life of certain system components. Hard disk drive activity LED (2-pin HDLED) This connector is for the HDD Activity LED. Connect the HDD Activity LED cable to this connector. The IDE LED lights up or ashes when data is read from or written to the HDD.

BIOS Information

2.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS
The following utilities allow you to manage and update the motherboard Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) setup. 1. AFUDOS (Updates the BIOS in DOS mode using a bootable oppy disk.) 2. ASUS EZ Flash (Updates the BIOS using a oppy disk during POST.) 3. ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 - Updates the BIOS using a bootable oppy disk or the

The AFUDOS is a DOS-based application that lets you update the BIOS le using a bootable oppy diskette. AFUDOS also allows you to copy the original BIOS le to a oppy diskette. To update the BIOS using the AFUDOS.EXE: 1. Download the latest BIOS le from the website provided by the system builder.
Write the BIOS lename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS le name at the prompt.
2. Copy the AFUDOS.EXE utility from the support CD to the bootable oppy disk that contains the BIOS le. 3. Boot the system from the oppy disk.
4. At the DOS prompt, type the command line: afudos /i[lename.rom] where [lename.rom] means the latest (or original) BIOS le that you copied to the bootable oppy disk. 5. Press <Enter>. The screen displays the status of the update process.
The BIOS information on the screen is for reference only. What you see on your screen may not be exactly the same as shown.

DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause system boot failure!
When the BIOS update process is complete, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.

6. Reboot the system from the hard disk.
2.1.4 Using ASUS EZ Flash to update the BIOS
The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to easily update the BIOS without having to go through the long process of booting from a oppy disk and using a DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash is built-in the BIOS LPC chip so it is accessible by simply pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests (POST).
To update the BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash:
1. Visit the system builder website to download the latest BIOS file for your motherboard and rename it to K8V-MX.ROM. Save the BIOS le to a oppy disk. 2. Reboot the system. 3. To launch EZ Flash, press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.

User recovery requested. Starting BIOS recovery. Checking for oppy.
If there is no oppy disk in the drive, the error message Floppy not found! appears. If the correct BIOS le is not found in the oppy disk, the error message K8V-MX.ROM not found! is displayed.
4. Insert the oppy disk that contains the BIOS le. If the K8V-MX.ROM le is found in the floppy disk, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and automatically reboots the system when done.
User recovery requested. Starting BIOS recovery. Checking for oppy. Floppy found! Reading le k8v-mx.rom. Completed. Start ashing. Flashed successfully. Rebooting.

2.2 BIOS Setup Program

The BIOS software is constantly being updated so the BIOS setup screens and descriptions in this section are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
This motherboard supports a programmable Low Pin Count (LPC) chip that you can update using the provided utility described in section 2.1 Managing and updating your BIOS. Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconguring your system, or prompted to Run Setup. This section explains how to congure your system using this utility. Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or make changes to the power management settings. This requires you to recongure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the LPC chip. The LPC chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Delete> during the Power-On Self Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. To enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the rst two fail. The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections among the predetermined choices.
