CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
The mainboard is a high-performance personal computer mainboard based
on the Pentium II processor. The mainboard uses the highly integrated VIA
APOLLO PRO 133 (VT82C693A) AGPset which optimize the system
bandwidth and concurrency with the implementation of Quad port
Acceleration (QPA).QPA provides 4-port concurrent arbitration of the
processor bus, graphics, PCI bus and SDRAM. The VT82C596B chipset
integrates all system control functions such as ACPI (Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more Energy Saving Features for
the OSPM (OS Direct Power Management) function. The VT82C596B chipset
also improves the IDE transfer rate by supporting Ultra DMA /66 IDE that
transfers data at the rate of 66 MB/s.

Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power on Self
Test) of the BIOS.
SuperTek
19
Base Memory
The POST will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory
installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K for
systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for system
with 640K r more memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the
POST. This is the amount of memory located above IMB in the CPU's
memory address map.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This
is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to
load device drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free for
application programs. The BIOS is the most frequent user of this RAM area
since this is where it shadows RAM.

3.4 Supervisor/ User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The
differences between are:
supervisor password : can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
user password: just can enter but do not have the right to change the options
of the setup menus.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center
of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS
memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again
and press <Enter>. You may also press <ESC> to abort the selection and not
enter a password.
To disabled a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter
the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once
the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every
time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from
changing any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to
request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent
unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features
Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 4) .If the Security option is
set to "System", the password will be required both at boot and at entry to
Setup. If set to "Setup", prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

POWER OFF SYSTEM
There are two ways to power off the system. They are "Power Button" and
"OS". (such as windows® 95 and windows® 98, after you shut down the OS
the system will power off automatically).
POWER ON SYSTEM
This mainboard provides several ways to power on a system that includes
"BUTTON ONLY", "Password", "Hot KEY", "Mouse Left" and "Mouse Right".
After this mainboard has been assembled in a system, depend on the
different system configuration there are several ways to power on the system.
Every way has one or more condition(s) or restriction(s) to achieve its
function. Please read the following description refer proceeding.
30
POWER BUTTON
This is an overrideable button. Please refer to page 3-6 for detailed function
description. Note that, if the CMOS setup item "POWER ON Function" is set
as "Password" (which located at "INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS", please
refer to page 3-5) this button will lose power on function (the power off
function is always valid).
KEYBOARD (PASSWORD OR HOT KEY)
Depend on the different CMOS setup, there are two ways to power on by
keyboard they are "Password" and "Hot KEY". No matter the setup is
"Password" and "Hot KEY", every time if you change this setup item, the
functions will become effective after next time the keyboard has been initiated
during POST (Power On Self Test).
Anytime if you forget the "Password", just disconnect the AC power abort
30-60 seconds then re-connect the AC power, the power button will restore
its function and you have a chance to use the power button to turn on the
system.
PS/2
(MOUSE LEFT OR MOUSE RIGHT)
Depend on the different CMOS setup, you could use the "Left Key" or "Right
Key" PS/2
mouse to turn on the system.
When you use this function you must click the mouse key quickly and
continually until the system power on, usually, that maybe need 2-5 times
clicked.
No matter the setup is "Mouse Right" or "Mouse Left", every time if you
change this setup item, the functions will become effective after next time the
keyboard has been initiated during POST (Power On Self Test).
This function is unavailable while using a COM (serial) port mouse.

IDE PIO
IDE hard drive controller can support up to two separate hard drives. These
drives have a master / slave relationship which are determined by the cabling
configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two
IDE controllers-a primary and a secondary-so you have to ability to install up
to four separate hard disks.
PIO means Programmed Input / Output. Rather than have the BIOS issue a
series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows
the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and
the CPU perform the complete task by themselves. This simpler and more
efficient (and faster).
Your system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which
primarily differ in timing. When
Auto
is selected, the BIOS will select the
best available mode. This is true for the next four setup items.
1. IDE Primary Master PIO

PCI IDE IRQ MAP to
This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in
use. By default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA (Industry
Standard Architecture) device rather than a PCI controller. The more
apparent difference is the type of slot being used.
If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows
you to specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt (A,B,C or
D) is associated with the connected hard drives.
Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk itself, rather than individual
partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard disk drivers,
you can select the INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a
lower interrupt than the secondary as described in "Slot x Using INT#" above.
Selecting "PCI Auto" allows the system to automatically determine how your
IDE disk system is configured.

3.8 Update BIOS Procedure
1.Find out what the exact model name and PCB version of your motherboard
is. You can see these words on the top left of the screen when you
just
boot up your computer.
2.Create an empty bootable disk by typing the following command: format
a:/s (The reason for doing this is that the Award flash utility can only work
well when there are no memory drivers installed or any other program to be
running in the background).
3.In order to update your BIOS, you will need two files:
a. The BIOS binary file (***.bin)
b. The Award Flash BIOS Utility file (awdflash.exe)
4.Download the correct BIOS file (***.exe) you need from our web site.
5.Execute the BIOS file, then it will automatically self-decompress into a
binary file and an Award flash BIOS utility file.
6.Now copy both of the files onto the bootable disk that was created by
previous step.
7.Next, shut down your computer properly, then restart your computer using
this disk and run AWDFLASH.EXE
8.Now you will see the Flash Memory Writer menu on your screen. The
program will ask for the File Name to Program. Type in the exact name of
the BIOS update binary file (***.bin), and press ENTER. (P-1)
