Installation Precautions
Please carefully read the following procedures to install your computer :
■ It is suggested to select high-quality, certied fans in order to avoid damage
to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature. Never turn on the
computer if the CPU fan is not properly installed.
■ We cannot guarantee that your system can operate normally when your
CPU is overclocked. Normal operation depends on the overclocking capac-
ity of your device.
■ If there is any, when connecting USB, audio, 1394a, RS232 COM, IrDA or
S/PDIF cables to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure
their pinouts are matching with the connectors on the motherboard. Incorrect
connections might damage the motherboard.
■ When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connec-
tors.
■ If there is a PCI Express x16 graphics card installed in your system, we
recommend using a 24-pin ATX power supply to get the best performance.
■ Before turning on the power, please make sure the power supply AC input
voltage setting has been congured to the local standard.
■ To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact
with the motherboard circuit or its components. Also, make sure there are no
leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the
computer casing.
■ If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to
the use of the product, please consult a certied computer technician.
CAUTION
!
■ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current
that ows between two objects at different electrical potentials. Normally it
comes out as a spark which will quickly damage your electronic equipment.
Please wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling
components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory.
■ Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before installing or removing
CPU, memory, expansion cards or other peripherals. It is recommended to

2-5 Jumpers
For some features needed, users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard to modify them.
This section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by changing the jumper
settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to modifying any jumper setting.
Description of Jumpers
1. For any jumper on this motherboard, pin 1 can be identied by the bold silkscreen next to it.
However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”.
2. The following table explains different types of the jumper settings. "Closed" means placing a jumper
cap on the two pins to temporarily short them. The shorting can also be done by touching two
pins by a screwdriver for a few seconds, but using jumper cap is recommended. It can prevent
hazardous ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) problem.
Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS
The motherboard uses CMOS RAM to store the basic hardware information (such as BIOS data,
date, time information, hardware password...etc.). Clear CMOS data is the fast way to go back to
factory default when the BIOS settings were mistakenly modied.
The steps to clear CMOS data are :
1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
2. Remove jumper cap from pins 2-3, put it onto pins 1-2 to short them. This will clear CMOS
data.
3. Return the setting to its original with pins 2-3 closed.
4. Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on.
5. Go to BIOS Setup to congure new system as described in next chapter.

Advanced BIOS Features
► MPS Revision
This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor motherboards as it species the version of
the MPS that the motherboard will use. The MPS is a specication by which PC manufactur-
ers design and build CPU architecture systems with two or more processors. MPS 1.1 was
the original specication. MPS version 1.4 adds extended conguration tables for improved
support of multiple PCI bus congurations and greater expandability in the future. In addition,
MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge. If your
operating system comes with support for MPS 1.4, you should keep the setting as the default
1.4. You also need to enable MPS 1.4 support if you need to make use of the secondary PCI
bus on a motherboard that doesn't come with a PCI bridge. You should only leave it as 1.1
only if you are running an older operating system that only supports MPS 1.1.
► PCI Latency Timer
This item is used to set the PCI latency timer. The value is in unit of PCI cycle for PCI device
latency timer register. Setting values are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 248.
This feature controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over.
The larger the value, the longer the PCI device can retain control of the bus. Low values for
the PCI Latency Timer will reduce the effective PCI bandwidth while higher values means
every PCI device will have to wait longer before they can get access to the bus, but when they
do get access, they can conduct their transactions for a longer time. Normally, a default value
of 64 cycles is set. Some PCI devices may not agree with longer latency times so if you start
facing problems like stuttering sound or a less responsive system, reduce the latency. Higher
values will actually reduce performance as too much time may be allocated to each PCI device
to the disadvantage of other devices on the bus.
► Quiet Boot
This item is used to enable/disable the quiet boot.
[Disabled] : Displays the normal POST messages.
[Enabled] : Displays OEM customer logo instead of POST messages.
► Quick Boot

ule offers facilities for secure generation of cryptographic keys.
The TPM Work Group is chartered to create the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) specica-
tion. The denition of the TPM architecture comes from the TC and the TPM Work Group
denes the implementation of that architecture. Work group members should have a working
knowledge of security in relation to the design and usage of cryptographic modules. Mem-
bers should also have a working knowledge of cryptographic techniques including public-key
cryptography, cryptographic algorithms and protocols.

CPU Conguration
► C1E Support
C1E represents Enhanced HALT State. It is a feature which Intel CPU uses to reduce power
consumption when in halt state. C1E drops the CPU's multiplier and voltage to lower levels
when a HLT (halt) command is issued. This item is used to enable/disable the C1E support.
► Limit CPUID MaxVal
This item is used to enable or disable CPUID maximum value limit conguration. Set Limit
CPUID MaxVal to 3, it should be [Disabled] for WinXP.
► Virtualization Technology
This item is used to enable/disable the Virtualization Technology feature.
Virtualization (i.e. Intel® Vanderpool Technology) allows a platform to run multiple operating
systems and applications in independent partitions or “containers.” One physical compute
system can function as multiple “virtual” systems. Vanderpool Technology can help improve
future virtualization solutions. This item will be displayed only when the CPU is supporting this
feature and the setting is used to enable/disable it.
► Execute Disable Bit
This item is used to enable/disable the Execute Disable Bit feature.
Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer
overow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application
code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the
buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propagation.
Replacing older computers with Execute Disable Bit-enabled systems can halt worm attacks,
reducing the need for virus-related repairs. By combining Execute Disable Bit with anti-virus,
rewall, spyware removal, e-mail ltering software, and other network security measures, IT
managers can free IT resources for other initiatives.

Video Function Congure
► DVMT Mode Select
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) dynamically allocates system memory for use
as video memory to ensure the most efcient use of available resources for maximum 2D/3D
graphics performance.
The amount of video memory allocated depends upon the amount requested by the operating
system. When the memory is no longer required, it is returned to the operating system for use by
other applications or system functions. DVMT allocates memory based on system needs. This
BIOS option allows you to adjust the amount of memory available for DVMT.
Fixed is a memory allocation method addition to the Unied Memory Architecture (UMA) concept,
wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver initialization.
This xed amount of memory will provide the user with a guaranteed graphics memory at all
times, and will no longer be available to the OS.
DVMT is an enhancement of the UMA concept, where in the graphics driver allocates memory
as needed for running graphics applications. If a user is not performing any graphics-intensive
operations, most of the DVMT memory can be utilized by the OS for other uses. We recommend
using DVMT setting for better overall system performance.

mands and information between the Smart Battery, SMBus Host, Smart Battery Charger, and
other SMBus Devices. This item is used to enable/disable System Management Bus controller.
► SLP_S4# Min. Assertion Width
SLP_S4# is a signal for power plane control. This signal shuts off power to all non-critical
systems when in the S4 (Suspend to Disk) or S5 (Soft Off) state.
This setting indicates the minimum assertion width of the SLP_S4# signal to ensure that the
DRAMs have been safely power-cycled. Setting values are: [4 to 5 seconds], [3 to 4 seconds],
[2 to 3 seconds], [1 to 2 seconds].
► ASPM
Active State Power Management (ASPM) allows power to be incrementally reduced to
individual serial links in a PCI Express fabric as a link becomes less active. ASPM is dened
in the PCI Express base specication. Enables or disables ASPM for a Link, based on the
overall system power policy, the hardware capabilities of the Link, and the latency of the
Link. Hardware performs the actual power management operations of transitioning Links
between Link power states and resynchronizing Links. The conguration of the PCI Express
implementation on a system affects the amount of power savings that can actually be
achieved.

Power Management Setup
ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power Interface) is an open industry standard interfaces
enabling OS-directed conguration, power management, and thermal management of mobile,
desktop, and server platforms. It denes ve sleeping states, they are :
S1 - The S1 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. In this state, no system
context is lost (CPU or chip set) and hardware maintains all system context. (also called
Power On Suspend)
S2 - The S2 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. This state is similar to the S1
sleeping state except that the CPU and system cache context is lost (the OS is respon-
sible for maintaining the caches and CPU context). Control starts from the processor’s
reset vector after the wake event.
S3 - The S3 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state where all system context is lost
except system memory. CPU, cache, and chip set context are lost in this state. Hardware
maintains memory context and restores some CPU and L2 conguration context. Control
starts from the processor’s reset vector after the wake event. (also called Suspend to
RAM)
S4 - The S4 sleeping state is the lowest power, longest wake latency sleeping state supported
by ACPI. In order to reduce power to a minimum, it is assumed that the hardware platform
has powered off all devices. Platform context is maintained. (also called Suspend to
Disk)
S5 - The S5 state is similar to the S4 state except that the OS does not save any context. The
system is in the “soft” off state and requires a complete boot when it wakes. Software

FOX ONE is a powerful utility for easily modifying system settings. It also allows users
to monitor various temperature values, voltage values, frequencies and fan speeds at
any time.
With FOX ONE, you can :
■ Modify system performance settings, such as the CPU and memory bus speeds,
CPU voltages, fan speeds, and other system performance options.
■ Monitor hardware temperatures, voltages, frequencies and fan speeds.
Supporting Operating Systems :
■ Windows 2000 ■ Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit)
■ Windows 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit) ■ Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit)
■ Windows 7 (32-bit/64-bit)
Using FOX ONE :
The very rst time you run FOX ONE, F.I.S. Calibration function (FOX Intelligent
Stepping) will require you to calibrate the CPU’s loading. Click “OK” to proceed
and start the Utility. F.I.S. is a feature of FOX ONE, which can automatically adjust your
CPU clock based on your current system loading.
Before you running the FOX ONE program, the system parameters (such as CPU
clock, voltage...etc.) are controlled by BIOS settings. After you run FOX ONE, it will
take over, and the controlling right will be transferred to FOX ONE. Later, if you exit
FOX ONE, then BIOS control will be back again.
CAUTION
!
Depending on hardware support, voltage monitoring and Fox Intelligent Stepping
features are optional and only supported in some models. If the option is selectable,
it also means the feature is supported.
