2.10 Replace the cover
After you have installed all the internal components and you have
connected all the necessary cables, you are now ready to put the system
back together.

Follow these steps to re-assemble
the system.
1.   With the chassis lying on its
     side, hook the swivel edge of
     the drive frame to the main
     chassis.
2.   Sway the drive frame inward
     until it fits completely. The
     protruding tabs on both ends
     of the drive frame should snap
     perfectly to the chassis edge.
                                                Protruding Tab

3.   Turn the chassis upright.
4.   Place the cover over the
     chassis leaving about two
     inches from the rear panel.

5.   Fit the rail tabs on the sides
          and bottom of the cover to the
          edges of the chassis.

     6.   Push the cover towards the
          rear until it fits. The locking tab
          snaps into the hole on the
          chassis indicating that the
          cover is in place.

                                   Locking Tab
                                                           Locking Tab Hole

          IMPORTANT
          Firmly push the cover to ensure that it is fully engaged to the chassis.

     7.   Lock the cover with the captive
          thumbscrew on the rear panel.

3.5 System memory
The motherboard has two Double Data Rate (DDR) DIMM sockets that
supports up to 2GB unbuffered non-ECC PC2700/2100/1600 DDR
DIMMs.
A DDR DIMM has the same physical dimensions as an SDR DIMM, but it
has a 184-pin footprint compared to the 168-pin of the SDR DIMM. Also, a
DDR DIMM is single notched while an SDR DIMM is double notched.
Therefore, a DDR DIMM is not backward compatible with SDR, and should
be installed only in a socket specially designed for DDR DIMMs.

3.7       Jumpers
This section describes and illustrates the jumpers on the motherboard.

1.    USB device wake-up (3-pin USB_PWR12, USB_PWR34,
      USB_PWR56)
      Set these jumpers to +5V to wake up the computer from S1 sleep
      mode (CPU stopped, DRAM refreshed, system running in low power
      mode) using the connected USB devices. Set to +5VSB to wake up
      from S3 sleep mode (no power to CPU, DRAM in slow refresh, power
      supply in reduced power mode).
      The USB_PWR12 jumper is for the rear USB ports. The
      USB_PWR34 and USB_PWR56 jumpers are for the internal USB
      headers that connect to the front USB ports and USB-CF slot.

      NOTES
      This feature requires a power supply that can provide at least 1A on the
      +5VSB lead when these jumpers are set to +5VSB. Otherwise, the
      system does not power up.

      The total current consumed must NOT exceed the power supply
      capability (+5VSB) whether under normal condition or in sleep mode.

3.8 Connectors
This section describes and illustrates the connectors on the motherboard.
1.   IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE1, SEC_IDE1)
     This connector supports the provided UltraDMA/133/100/66 IDE hard
     disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary
     (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray
     connector to the UltraDMA/133/100/66 slave device (hard disk drive)
     and the black connector to the UltraDMA/133/100/66 master device.
     It is recommended that you connect non-UltraDMA/133/100/66
     devices to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks,
     you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its
     jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the
     jumper settings. BIOS supports specific device bootup. If you have
     more than two UltraDMA/133/100/66 devices, purchase another
     UltraDMA/133/100/66 cable. You may configure two hard disks to be
     both master devices with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE
     connector and another for the secondary IDE connector.

     NOTES
     Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on
     the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when
     you connect the cables.

     For UltraDMA/133/100/66 IDE devices, use an 80-conductor IDE cable.

4.   ATX power connectors (20-pin ATXPWR, 4-pin ATX +12V)
     These connectors connect to an ATX 12V power supply. The plugs
     from the power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one
     orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the
     connectors completely fit.
     In addition to the 20-pin ATXPWR connector, this motherboard
     requires that you connect the 4-pin ATX +12V power plug to provide
     sufficient power to the CPU.

     IMPORTANT
     If you will need to replace the power supply in the future, make sure
     that your new ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on the +12V lead
     and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). The minimum
     recommended wattage is 230W, or 300W for a fully configured system.
     The system may become unstable and may experience difficulty
     powering up if the power supply is inadequate.

5.   CPU, Chassis, and Power Fan Connectors
          (3-pin CPU_FAN1, CHA_FAN1)
          The three fan connectors support cooling fans of 350mA (4.2 Watts)
          or a total of 1A (12W) at +12V. Orient the fans so that the heat sink
          fins allow air flow to go across the onboard heat sinks instead of the
          expansion slots. The fan wiring and plug may vary depending on the
          fan manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector matching
          the black wire to the ground pin.

          IMPORTANT
          Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Lack of
          sufficient air flow within the system may damage the motherboard
          components. These are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on
          the fan connectors!

4.1       Managing and updating the BIOS
     4.1.1     Using the computer system for the first time
     It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS
     along with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable
     floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later. AFLASH.EXE is a
     Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new
     BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file
     works only in DOS mode. To determine the BIOS version of your
     motherboard, 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.
     1.    Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system
           disk. DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk.
     2.    Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your
           CD-ROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created.

           NOTE
           AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS prompt
           within Windows, and does not work with certain memory drivers that
           may be loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended
           that you reboot using a floppy disk.

     3.    Reboot the computer from the floppy disk.

           NOTE
           BIOS setup must specify “Floppy” as the first item in the boot sequence.

54                                                    Chapter 4: BIOS information
4.   In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH  to run AFLASH.

     IMPORTANT
     If the word “unknown” appears after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is
     either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and
     therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

5.   Select 1. Save Current BIOS to File from the Main menu and press
     . The Save Current BIOS To File screen appears.

6.   Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX, then
     press .

4.1.2    Updating BIOS procedures

          CAUTION!
          Update the BIOS only if you have problems with the motherboard and
          you are sure that the new BIOS revision will solve your problems.
          Careless updating may result to more problems with the motherboard!

     1.   Download an updated ASUS BIOS file from the Internet (WWW or
          FTP) (see ASUS CONTACT INFORMATION on page x for details)
          and save to the boot floppy disk you created earlier.
     2. Boot from the floppy disk.
     3. At the “A:\” prompt, type AFLASH and then press .
     4. At the Main Menu, type 2 then press . The Update BIOS
          Including Boot Block and ESCD screen appears.
     5. Type the filename of your new BIOS and the path, for example,
          A:\XXX-XX.XXX, then press .
     To cancel this operation, press .

     6.   When prompted to confirm the BIOS update, press Y to start the
          update.

56                                                 Chapter 4: BIOS information
7.   The utility starts to program the new BIOS information into the Flash
     ROM. The boot block is updated automatically only when necessary.
     This minimizes the possibility of boot problems in case of update
     failures. When the programming is done, the message “Flashed
     Successfully” appears.

8.   Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.

     WARNING!
     If you encounter problems while updating the new BIOS, DO NOT turn
     off the system because this may cause boot problems. Just repeat the
     process, and if the problem persists, load the original BIOS file you
     saved to the boot disk. If the Flash Memory Writer utility is not able to
     successfully update a complete BIOS file, the system may not boot. If
     this happens, call the ASUS service center for support.

4.2 BIOS Setup program
     This motherboard supports a programmable EEPROM that you can
     update using the provided utility described in section “4.1 Managing and
     updating your BIOS.”
     Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard,
     reconfiguring your system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section
     explains how to configure your system using this utility.
     Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you may want to
     change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you
     may want to enable the security password feature or make changes to the
     power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system
     using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these
     changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM.
     The EEPROM 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  during the Power-On Self Test (POST) to enter
     the Setup utility, otherwise, POST continues with its test routines.
     If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing
      +  + , 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 first two failed.
     The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is
     a menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various
     sub-menus and make your selections among the predetermined choices.

          NOTE
          Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the following
          BIOS setup screens and descriptions are for reference purposes only,
          and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
