III. INSTALLATION 7. CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (FS0, FS1) These jumpers tell the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU. These allow the selection of the CPUs External frequency (or BUS Clock). The BUS Clock times the BUS Ratio equals the CPUs Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed). 8. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (BF0, BF1, BF2, BF3) These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the CPU and the External frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU.
III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (SIMM and DIMM) This motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (FPM) (Asymmetric or Symmetric), Enhanced Data Output (EDO), or Burst Enhanced Data Output (BEDO). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each bank contains two of the same size memory modules.
III. INSTALLATION SIMM Memory Installation 1. The SIMM memory modules will only fit in one orientation as shown because of a “Plastic Safety Tab” on one end of the SIMM slots which requires the “Notched End” of the SIMM memory modules. Bank 0 1 2 3 4 R Bank 1 (DRAM Memory Module Example) Notched End III. INSTALLATION (System Memory) 72 Pin SIMM DRAM Sockets 2. Press the memory module firmly into place starting from a 45 degree angle making sure that all the contacts are aligned with the socket. 3.
III. INSTALLATION DIMM Memory Installation Insert the module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module will only fit in the orientation as shown. DRAM SIMM modules have the same pin contact on both sides. SDRAM DIMM modules have different pint contact on each side and therefore have a higher pin density. R 60 Pins 88 Pins Lock III.
III. INSTALLATION 3. Central Processing Unit (CPU) This motherboard provides a Single Edge Contact (SEC) slot for a Pentium II processor packaged in an SEC cartridge. The SEC slot is not compatible with other non-Pentium II processors. Before your begin: Find a system cabinet with either the power supply fan or a secondary fan circulating air across the SEC cartridge’s passive heat sink.
III. INSTALLATION From the Manufacturer: Four screws should be showing next to each corner of the SEC Slot using two Attach Mount Bridges from the underside of the motherboard. A bottom Heatsink Support Base should be mounted over the two chipsets in front of the slot. Heatsink Support Base Pin (5&6) Support Base (7) III.

III. INSTALLATION 2. Mount the Heat Sink: Place the SEC cartridge face down on a flat surface and lay the heat sink flush on the back (metal side) of the SEC cartridge. Check the orientation of the heatsink with the pictures. The thicker fin should be on the bottom of the SEC cartridge. The top clamp is larger than the bottom clamp so only this orientation will fit. With a screw driver, push the clamps one at a time into the SEC cartridge.
III. INSTALLATION 4. Lock the SEC Cartridge: Flip the SEC cartridge locks outward so that the lock shows through the Retention Mechanism’s side lock holes. The SEC cartridge Lock should appear here when the SEC cartridge is properly seated in the slot and locked. (3) Retention Mechanism Left Side View III. INSTALLATION (CPU) 5. Secure the Heatsink: Slide the Heatsink Support Top Bar into the bottom Groove of the Heatsink until it locks into the heatsink support Base Posts.
III. INSTALLATION 4. Expansion Cards WARNING: Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. Expansion Card Installation Procedure: III. INSTALLATION (Expansion Cards) 1. Read your expansion card documentation on any hardware and software settings that may be required to setup your specific card. 2. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card. 3.
III. INSTALLATION To simplify this process this motherboard has complied with the Plug and Play (PNP) specification which was developed to allow automatic system configuration whenever a PNP-compliant card is added to the system. For PNP cards, IRQs are assigned automatically from those available. If the system has both Legacy and PNP ISA cards installed, IRQs are assigned to PNP cards from those not used by Legacy cards.
III. INSTALLATION 5. External Connectors WARNING: Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are clearly separated from jumpers in “Map of the Motherboard.” Placing jumper caps over these will cause damage to your motherboard. IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the connectors are labeled on the motherboard. Pin 1 is the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and floppy drives.
III. INSTALLATION 3. Parallel Printer Connector (25-pin Female) You can enable the parallel port and choose the IRQ through “Onboard Parallel Port” in Chipset Features Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE. NOTE: Serial printers must be connected to the serial port. Parallel (Printer) Port (25-pin Female) III. INSTALLATION (Connectors) 4. Serial Port COM1 and COM2 Connectors (Two 9-pin Male) The two serial ports can be used for pointing devices or other serial devices.

Connect Midi devices for playing or editing audio. Joystick/Midi (15-pin Female) 7. Universal Serial BUS Ports 1 & 2 (Two 4-pin Female Sockets) Two USB ports are available for connecting USB devices. III. INSTALLATION (Connectors) USB 1 Univeral Serial Bus (USB) 2 8.
III. INSTALLATION 9. Chassis Fan, CPU Cooling Fan, & Power Supply Fan Connectors (FANPWR) These connectors support cooling fans of 500mAmp (6Watt) or less. Orientate the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while the black should be ground.
III. INSTALLATION 11. Primary / Secondary IDE connectors (Two 40-pin Block) These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs at the other end to your hard disk(s). If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Please refer to the documentation of your hard disk for the jumper settings.
III. INSTALLATION 13. Power LED Lead (PANEL) The system power LED lights when the system’s power is on. III. INSTALLATION (Connectors) 14. SMI Suspend Switch Lead (PANEL) This allows the user to manually place the system into a suspend mode or “Green” mode where system activity will be instantly decreased to save electricity and expand the life of certain components when the system is not in use. This 2-pin connector (see the figure below) connects to the case-mounted suspend switch.
III. INSTALLATION 19. IrDA-Compliant infrared module connector (IR) This connector supports the optional wireless transmitting and receiving infrared module. This module mounts to a small opening on system cases that support this feature. You must also configure the setting through “UART2 Use Infrared” in Chipset Features Setup to select whether UART2 is directed for use with COM2 or IrDA.
III. INSTALLATION Power Connection Procedures III. INSTALLATION (Power Connections) 1. After all jumpers and connections are made, close the system case cover. 2. Make sure that all switches are in the off position as marked by . 3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case as instructed by your system user’s manual. 4. Connect the power cord into a power outlet that is equipped by a surge protector. 5.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Support Software FILELIST.TXT - View this file to see the files included in the support software. PFLASH.EXE - This is the Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM chip on the motherboard. To determine the BIOS version, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS file.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE 2. Update BIOS Main Block from File This option updates the BIOS from a file on the disk. This can either be a new file or a backup file created by the “Save Current BIOS to File” option. This will not update the Boot Block if the Boot Block is different. You will be prompted with the following if advanced features if necessary. Boot Block of New BIOS is different from old one !!! Please Use ’Advanced Feature’ to flash whole bios !!! 3.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Updating your Motherboard’s BIOS 1. Download an updated BIOS file from a Bulletin Board Service (BBS) or the Internet (WWW or FTP) and save to the diskette you created in step 1 of the Main Menu.

IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Auto detection of hard disks on bootup For each field: Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master, and Secondary Slave, you can select Auto under the TYPE and MODE fields. This will enable auto detection of your IDE drives during bootup. This will allow you to change your hard drives (with the power off) and then power on without having to reconfigure your hard drive type.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE BIOS Features Setup This “BIOS Features Setup” option consists of configuration entries that allow you to improve your system performance, or let you set up some system features according to your preference. Some entries here are required by the motherboard’s design to remain in their default settings. IV. BIOS (BIOS Features) A section at the lower right of the screen displays the control keys you can use. Take note of these keys and their respective uses.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE CPU Fast String (Enabled) Leave on default setting of Enabled for best performance. Deturbo Mode (Disabled) When Enabled, FLUSH# signal is held asserted to disable caching and the P6 bus pipeline will be stalled. This allows software to run at a reduced-speed. The default is set to Disabled to allow maximum processing speed. Quick Power On Self Test (Enabled) This field speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) routine by skipping retesting a second, third, and forth time.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE PS/2 Mouse Function Control (Auto) The default of Auto allows the system to detect a PS/2 Mouse on bootup. If detected, IRQ12 will be used for the PS/2 Mouse. IRQ12 will be reserved for expansion cards if a PS/2 Mouse is not detected. Disabled will reserve IRQ12 for expansion cards and therefore the PS/2 Mouse will not function. PCI/VGA Palette Snoop (Disabled) Some display cards that are nonstandard VGA such as graphics accelerators or MPEG Video Cards may not show colors properly.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Chipset Features Setup This “Chipset Features Setup” option controls the configuration of the board’s chipset. Control keys for this screen are the same as for the previous screen. NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading. Details of Chipset Features Setup IV. BIOS (Chipset Features) Auto Configuration (60ns DRAM) The default setting of 60ns DRAM sets the optimal timings for items 2 through 6 for 60ns DRAM modules.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE IV. BIOS (Chipset Features) Read-Around-Write (Enabled) The default setting of Enabled will increase the execution efficiency of the processor. It allows the processor to execute read commands out of order if there is no dependence between these read and other write commands.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Onboard FDC Swap A & B (No Swap) This field reverses the drive letter assignments of your floppy disk drives. Two options are available: “No Swap” and “Swap AB.” If you want to switch drive letter assignments, set this field to “Swap AB”, and the swap will be controlled in hardware. This works separately from the BIOS Features floppy disk swap feature. It is functionally the same as physically interchanging the connectors of the floppy disk drives.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Power Management Setup This “Power Management Setup” option allows you to reduce power consumption. This feature turns off the video display and shuts down the hard disk after a period of inactivity. NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading. Details of Power Management Setup IV. BIOS (Power Management) Power Management (User Define) This field acts as the master control for the power management modes.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Video Off Method (V/H SYNC + Blank) This field defines the video off features. Three options are available: V/H SYNC + Blank, DPMS, and Blank Only. The first option, which is the default setting, blanks the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning; DPMS (Display Power Management System) allows the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports the DPMS feature; Blank Screen only blanks the screen.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE PNP and PCI Setup This “PNP and PCI Setup” option configures the PCI bus slots. All PCI bus slots on the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value. NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading. Details of PNP and PCI Setup IV. BIOS (Plug & Play / PCI) [Slot Interrupts] (Auto) The first four fields on the screen set how IRQ use is determined for each PCI slot.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE DMA x Used By ISA (No/ICU) These fields indicate whether or not the displayed DMA channel for each field is being used by a Legacy (non-PnP) ISA card. Available options include: No/ICU and Yes. The first option, the default setting, indicates either that the displayed DMA channel is not used or an ICU is being used to determine if an ISA card is using that channel.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Load BIOS Defaults This “Load BIOS Defaults” option allows you to load the troubleshooting default values permanently stored in the BIOS ROM. These default settings are non-optimal and disable all high performance features. To load these default settings, highlight “Load BIOS Defaults” on the main screen and then press the key. The system displays a confirmation message on the screen. Press the key and then the key to confirm.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Smart Alarm (LM78) Setup This menu controls the functions of the LM78 hardware monitor chip on this motherboard. Certain hardware components are necessary for the all the features to be available. NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading. Details of Smart Alarm Setup IV.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Supervisor Password and User Password IV. BIOS (Passwords) These two options set the system passwords. “Supervisor Password” sets a password that will be used to protect the system and the Setup utility; “User Password” sets a password that will be used exclusively on the system. By default, the system comes without any passwords. To specify a password, highlight the type you want and then press the key. A password prompt appears on the screen.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE IDE HDD Auto Detection This “IDE HDD Auto Detection” option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive, and automatically enters them into the Standard CMOS Setup screen. ROM PCI/ISA BIOS () CMOS SETUP UTILITY AWARD SOFTWARE, INC.
IV. BIOS SOFTWARE IMPORTANT: If your hard drive was already formatted on an older previous system, incorrect parameters may be detected. You will need to enter the correct parameters manually or use low-level format if you do not need the data stored on the hard drive. If the parameters listed differ from the ones used when the drive was formatted, the drive will not be readable. If the auto-detected parameters do not match the ones that should be used for your drive, do not accept them.
V. DESKTOP MANAGEMENT Desktop Management Interface (DMI) Introducing the ASUS DMI Configuration Utility This motherboard supports DMI within the BIOS level and provides a DMI Configuration Utility to maintain the Management Information Format Database (MIFD). DMI is able to auto-detect and record information pertinent to a computer’s system such as the CPU type, CPU speed, and internal/external frequencies, and memory size.
V. DESKTOP MANAGEMENT Using the ASUS DMI Configuration Utility Edit DMI (or delete) Use the ←→ (left-right) cursors to move the top menu items and the ↑↓ (up-down) cursor to move between the left hand menu items. The bottom of the screen will show the available keys for each screen. Press enter at the menu item to enter the right hand screen for editing. “Edit component” appears on top. The reversed color field is the current cursor position and the blue text are available for editing.
V. DESKTOP MANAGEMENT Save MIFD You can save the MIFD (normally only saved to flash ROM) to a file by entering the drive and path here. If you want to cancel save, you may press ESC and a message “Bad File Name” appears here to show it was not saved. Load MIFD You can load the disk file to memory by entering a drive and path and file name here. Load BIOS Defaults V. DMI (Using DMI Utility) You can load the BIOS defaults from a MIFD file and can clear all user modified and added data.
VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Card VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 (SCSI BIOS) SCSI BIOS and Drivers Aside from the system BIOS, the Flash memory chip on the motherboard also contains the SCSI BIOS. This SCSI BIOS works in conjunction with the optional ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI controller card to provide a complete PCI Fast SCSI-2 interface. All SCSI devices you install to your system require driver software to function. The SCSI BIOS directly supports SCSI hard disks under the DOS, Windows and OS/2 environments.
VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Card VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 (Setup) The ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Interface Card Your motherboard may have come with an optional SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) controller card, the PCI-SC200. The card is also available separately. This card works with the SCSI BIOS on the motherboard. Together, they provide a complete PCI Fast SCSI-2 interface. With the card installed in your system you can connect SCSI devices installed in your system case to the internal connector on the card.
VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Card VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 (Jumpers) Setting the INT Assignment You must use PCI INT A setting in order to properly assign the card’s interrupt. On the ASUS PCI-SC200, you assign the INT by setting jumper JP1 or JP2. The default setting for the card already is INT A, so you do not need to change the setting to use the ASUS PCI-SC200 with this motherboard.
VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Card VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 (SCSI ID Numbers) Decide whether or not you need to terminate the ASUS PCI-SC200 based on its position in the SCSI chain. Only the devices at each end of the chain need to be terminated. If you have only internal or only external devices connected to the ASUS PCI-SC200, then you must terminate the ASUS PCI-SC200. If you have both internal and external devices connected, you must not terminate the card. See the following example which illustrates this concept.
