 INSTALLATIONS

Installing the CPU

The IB840 CPU card supports a Socket 478 processor socket for Intel
Pentium 4 processors.

The Socket 478 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the
processor. Raise this lever to about a 90° angle to allow the insertion of
the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the
notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside
of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, return the lever
to the lock position. Refer to the figures below.

After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct.

NOTE: Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in
total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.

BIOS SETUP

BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer
system’s ROM supports Intel Pentium 4 processors. The BIOS provides
critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial
ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well
as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the
entire system.

BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is
immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to
enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will
appear on the screen:

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and
<Esc> to quit.

When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions
and exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control
keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just below the
control keys section, there is another section, which displays information
on the currently highlighted item in the list.

Note: If the system cannot boot after making and saving system
changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports an override to
the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default.

Warning: It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any

changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been
carefully chosen by both Award and your system
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum
performance and reliability. Changing the defaults could
cause the system to become unstable and crash in some
cases.

BIOS SETUP

Standard CMOS Setup

“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system
clock and error handling. If the CPU card is already installed in a working
system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the
Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware
configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in
the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

the selections shows the current hard disks used in your system as well as the
“Bootable Add-in Card” that is relevant to other boot sources media such as
SCSI cards and LAN cards.

CPU L1 and L2 Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM
(system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory,
and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory.
When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the
main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items
allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By
default, these items are Enabled.

Quick Power On Self Test

When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after
the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.

This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM
memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to
access memory. The default setting is Non-OS/2.

Report No FDD For WIN 95

If you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy disk drive, select
Enabled to release IRQ6. This is required to pass Windows 95/98's SCT
test. You should also disable the Onboard FDC Controller in the
Integrated Peripherals screen when there's no floppy drive in the system. If
you set this feature to Disabled, the BIOS will not report the missing
floppy drive to Win95/98.
