Floppy Disk Drive Header (34-pin FLOPPY).

This is a 34-pin header that supports the provided floppy

drive ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the

on-board “FLOPPY” header, (O in Mainboard Diagram) connect

the remaining plugs on the other end to the corresponding

floppy drives.

IDE Device Headers

The on-board IDE headers (P in Mainboard Diagram) support

the provided 40/80-pin IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After

connecting the single end to the mainboard, connect the

remaining plugs at the other end of your hard disk(s). When

installing hard disks, you must configure the drives by setting

their jumpers according to the documentation of your hard

disk.

You may also connect the hard disk drives so that both

become Masters, using one ribbon cable on the primary IDE-

header, and the other on the secondary IDE header.

NOTE: Please make sure that the pin 1 of the ribbon cable

the red wire side of the cable) is correctly connected to

the on-board header pin 1 as shown on the “mainboard

diagram”.

Mounting Mainboard to chassis Snap the black mounting pins onto the mainboard as shown. Carefully install the mainboard into the computer chassis and align the corresponding mounting holes on the mainboard with the holes on your chassis. While chassis design varies you may need to refer to the chassis manual for the mainboard mounting area. Insert white pins through the chassis and through the mounting holes on the mainboard into the black pin making sure they are snapped fully into place.

Installing Add-in Boards First read your expansion card documentation for hardware and software settings that may be required to set up your specific card. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card and remove the cover plate on your computer case at the slot you intend to use. Keep the plate for possible future use. Carefully align the card's connector and press firmly. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed from the cover plate.

Advanced BIOS Features Virus Warning Enabled / Disabled Virus Warning function. Default setting is "Disabled". CPU L1 & L2 Cache Enabled / Disabled CPU internal L1 & L2 cache. Default setting is "Enabled". Quick Power On Self Test When Enabled, BIOS will skip certain power-on self-test (POST) procedures (such as memory test above 1MB) to speed up the boot process. Default setting is "Enabled". First / Second / Third Boot Device Assign the priority of each storage device to be the boot-up drive.

Boot Up Floppy Seek Specify whether floppy drive A: will perform a Seek operation at system boot. Default setting is "Enabled". Boot Up NumLock Status Sets this option "OFF" to turn the Num Lock key off when the computer is booted such that you can use the arrow keys on both the numeric keypad and the keyboard. Set this option to "ON" to enable the numeric pad when the system is turned on. Default is "ON".

Advanced Chipset Features DRAM Timing Selectable Manual / By SPD. Select "By SPD" to allow BIOS to get the optimized timing data from the data stored on the DIMM modules. Otherwise, select "Manual" to configure the following timing constraints. CAS Latency Time Specifies the number of SCLKs between the time when the Read command is sampled by DRAM and the Whitney Sample reads data from DRAM. Available settings are 2, 3. Default setting is "3".
