The mainboard design supports Software Power Off Control feature through the SMM
code in the BIOS under Windows 95/98, Windows 3.1x, and MS-DOS operation system
environment. In order to reach this feature, you should use ATX power supply.
First, you should connect the power switch cable to the connector PS-ON on the
mainboard. In the BIOS screen of POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP, choose User
Defined (or Min. Power Saving or Max. Power Saving) in Power Manager and
choose Yes in PM Control by APM.
In Windows 95/98, if you would like to power off the system, you just choose shutdown
the computer ? in the Shut Down Windows from Windows 95/98, then the system
power will be off directly and become the stand-by status. In the mean time, you will find
the power LED light is blinking. If you would like to restart the system, just press the power
switch button, and the system will be powered on.
Note : If you will leave your system for several days, we suggest you use hardware power
off to shutdown your system.

1-4 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN mode of operation is a mechanism that uses Advanced Micro
Device Magic Packet technology to power up a sleeping workstation on the network. This
mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a specific packet of information,
called a Magic Packet, addressed to thenode on the network. For additional protection,
Secure ON is an optional security feature that can be added to the Magic Packet that
requires a password to power up the sleeping workstation. When the LAN card is in remote
Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power can be shut down leaving power only for the
LAN card and auxiliary power recondition.
The LAN card performs no network activities while in the remote Wake-On-LAN mode of
operation-It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic Packet. If a Magic Packet is
addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card wake up the system. If the Secure
ON feature has been enabled, the password added to the Magic Packet is also verified prior
to waking up the system.
CAUTION :
It needs to use with the ATX power supply revision 2.1 ( which can deliver
+5V standby 5% at 720mA ) and the LAN card supports WOL function with
INTEL protocol.

1-5 Keyboard & PS/2 Mouse Power On

The ATC-6130 mainboard has two easy and convenient ways to power up the system. Users
may power on the system by typing a password or by double-clicking the PS/2 mouse on the
left or right button. It just depends on which one users set in the Power On function of BIOS
INTEGRANTED PERIPHERALS. And this function is available for ATX power supply
only.
In order to satisfy different users that will have many different needs, the ATC-6130
mainboard provides four different methods to power up the system:
1. KB Power On Password:
The setting process is as follow: Password: when users select this option, it will show
Enter Password:. After users type the password, it will show Confirm Password:
and users have to type the same password to confirm it now. Under power-off condition,
if users type the correct password, the system will be powered on immediately.
If you have set the keyboard password power on function, but lost the password, you
can CLEAR CMOS to clear the password. Or you cant power on the system.
2. Hot Key Power On:
When users select this option, it will show another line below as Hot Key Power ON :
Ctrl-F1.You can select from Ctrl-F1 to Ctrl-F12 by using PageUp / PageDown
keys. After power off, users can hold down both the Ctrl and F1 keys to power up the
system.
3. Mouse Left, Mouse Right :
This function is available for PS/2 mouse only. It will power up the system by double
clicking the left or right mouse. Note that do not move the mouse when you click. Or
you cant power on the system.
4. BUTTON ONLY :
Only the power button can power on the system.

1-6 Thermister (option)

This means that user can monitor the CPU temperature through thermister.
When setting up the thermister, the Bios will load the CPU temperature automatically.
There is a choice of the warning beep sound if the user set the option on. If the CPU
temperature is overheated, the user will get the notice from the thermister. This time you
should shut down computer and check your devices. Or you can connect with you dealer.

1-7 LDCM LANDesk Client Manager (option)

If ATC-6130 built-in hardware component support Intel LDCM. LDCM can satisfy
users who want manageable systems that can interact automatically with the user. Client
manager is the answer, enabling both administrators and clients to manage systems. The
features of LDCM are as following :

Review system inventory

Client Manager enables you to view hundreds of inventoried items. Some of these items are
software related, while many others are hardware related.

View DMI-compliant component information

Client manager enables you to view component information that is compliant with the
Desktop Manager Interface DMI . This means you can manage third-party DMIcompliant components not included with Client manager.

Back up and restore system configuration files.

Client Manager enables you back up and restore system configuration files.
Whenever you plan on changing the system configuration , you can make a backup
set. If the system no longer works correctly, after you change the system
configuration , you can simply restore the system configuration with the backup set.

Troubleshoot
Since Client manager enables you to view the system inventory, you can easily troubleshoot
system problems.

Receive notifications for system events

Client manager enables you to receive notification of certain system events. For example, if
the system is running low on virtual memory, you are notified of the potential problem.

Transfer files to and from client workstations

As an administrator, you have the ability to transfer files to and from client workstation.
This is helpful, for example, when you need to update a client workstation driver.

Remotely reboot client workstations Administrator also have the ability to

remotely reboot a workstation. This is helpful when you want system configuration
changes to take effect.

CHAPTER 3 Award BIOS SETUP

Award BIOS manufacturer provides access to the system BIOS through the hardware and
software on each ATC-6130 mainboard. The hardware consists of a Flash ROM and the
software is a group of programs that are installed in the ROMBIOS along with all the other
data the BIOS must contain.
The ATC-6130 mainboard will require special driver supplied by the manufacturer to
update the BIOS SETUP program. It is a good idea to read the next page for details for
update BIOS driver installation or you can ask your system dealer to do it for you.
When the driver has been successfully updated, it is very important to contact your system
dealer to change the CMOS settings for your computer. The CMOS settings are shown in
the following pages.
NOTE : To clear CMOS you should unplug the power cord, then set 2-3 to clear, put it
back to normal position and plug the power cord again.

3-1 UPDATE BIOS PROCEDURES

If the BIOS needs to be updated, you can get a diskette or CD with the updated BIOS
driver from your system supplier. The BIOS updated diskette or CD includes :
awdflash.exe -- BIOS updated utility program
awdflash.doc
(updated the BIOS filename with version number).bin
The updated procedure is in the following:
1. Boot the system to DOS mode in a normal manner.
2. Insert the updated diskette or CD to drive A or CD ROM drive.
3. Change working directory to floppy drive A or CD ROM drive, which contains the
updated
BIOS
diskette
or
CD.
-- Type a:\ or d:\flash, then press ENTER key.
4. Run the BIOS updated utility -- Type awdflash, ENTER.
5. Type (updated BIOS file name with version number).bin, ENTER.
6. If you do not want to save the old BIOS version, type N when the screen displays the
message : " Do you want to save BIOS (Y/N) ?".
7. Type Y when the screen shows the message : " Are you sure to program (Y/N) ?".
8. Follow the instructions on the screen. DO NOT remove the updated BIOS
diskette
or CD from the floppy drive or CD ROM drive nor turn the system power off until the
BIOS updated is completed.
9. Turn the power off. Clear the data in CMOS according to the procedure described in the
previous page.
10. Turn the system power on and test that your system is working properly.

3-1-1 UPDATE PENTIUM II BIOS API

Intel also provides MICROCODE API(Applications Programming Interface) for
PentiumII processor-based mainboard user to updated data block in BIOS quickly and
easily. (You can find this utility either in the 3.5 diskette or CD in the package.)
The BIOS code on the PentiumII processor-based mainboards contains data that is
specific to each silicon stepping of the processor. Integrators must ensure that this BIOS
stepping data matches the processor stepping used. When the BIOS does not contain
stepping data that matches the processor stepping, integrators must updated the data in the
BIOS before shipping the system. Historically, PentiumII systems have been updated by
replacing the entire BIOS with a new revision of BIOS that contains the correct stepping
data.
Intels BIOS updated API allows just the stepping data within the BIOS to be updated as
needed. Mainboards that contain a BIOS with the Intel-defined BIOS updated API can be
quickly and easily updated, if required, without obtaining a complete BIOS upgrade. Using
this utility, integrators can easily verify that the correct stepping data is present in all
PentiumII processor-based mainboards. However, if the stepping data requires updating,
the mainboard BIOS must contain the Intel-defined BIOS updated API, otherwise a
complete BIOS upgrade is required from the mainboard vendor.
Put the CD into CD-ROM drive, e.g. drive E, and then type
E:\>ENTER, and type \api\checkup3.
Or put the API diskette into the floppy disk drive, and then type
A:\>cd api; A:\>checkup3
The main menu should now be displayed, showing the following four options :
1) Check and load updated
2) Specify stepping data file [current : pep.pdb]
3) Help
4) Quit without loading updated
Select 1 to know the stepping filename, select 2 to load right patch code, then select 1 to
updated proper patch code. Now, the screen will show the message please remove floppy
diskette from floppy disk drive or CD from CD-ROM drive. Then cold boot (mechanical
power off) system to continue. For more information, please refer to CHECKUP.HLP file.

Memory This category is displayed only which is determined by POST (Power On Self
Test) of the BIOS.
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 or 640K based on
the memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory How much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the
amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPUs 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.

to access the boot sector or hard disk, partition table will cause a
warning message to appear.
Disabled
No warning message will appear when anything attempts to access the
boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot sector table can cause the
above warning message. If you will be running such a program, we recommend that you
first disable Virus Protection beforehand.
CPU Internal Cache; External Cache
These two categories speed up memory access.
However, it depends on CPU/chipset design. The default value is enabled.
Quick Power On Self Test This category speeds up Power On Self Test after you power
up the computer. If you set Enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip some checked items during
POST.
Boot Sequence This category determines which drive to search first for the Disk
Operating System (i.e., DOS). The system will search those drives in order, Ex.: C,
CDROM, A: System will first search for hard disk drive then CDROM drive, and the last
is floppy disk drive.
Note: C is primary master; D is primary slave; E is secondary master, F is secondary
slave.
Swap Floppy Drive This item allows you to determine whether to enable the swap floppy

DRAM Speed Selection The DRAM speed is controlled by the DRAM timing Registers.
The timings programmed into this register are dependent on the system design.
MA wait State This item allows you to select MA Wait State. The choice : Fast, Slow.
EDO RAS# to CAS# Delay When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are
addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition
from RAS to Column Address Strobe (CAS).
EDO RAS# DRAM must continually be refreshed or it will lose.

Precharge Time its data. Normally, DRAM is refreshed entirely as the result of a single
request. This option allows you to determine the number of CPU clocks allocated for the
Row Address Strobe to accumulate its charge before the DRAM is refreshed. If insufficient
time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and data lost.
EDO DRAM Read Burst; EDO DRAM Write Burst This sets the timing for burst mode
read (or writes) from DRAM. Burst read and write requests aregenerated by the CPU in
four separate parts.The first part provides the location within the DRAM where the read or
write is to take place while the remaining three parts provide the actual data. The lower the
timing numbers, the faster the system will address memory.
DRAM data Integrity Mode Error checking and correcting function.
CPU-To-PCI IDE Posting Select Enabled to post write cycles from the CPU to the PCI
IDE interface. IDE accesses are posted in CPU to PCI buffers, for cycle optimization.
System BIOS Cacheable When enabled, accesses to the system BIOS ROM addressed at
F0000H-FFFFFH are cached, provided that the cache controller is enabled.
Video BIOS Cacheable As with changing the system BIOS above, enabling the Video
BIOS cache will cause access to video BIOS addressed at C0000H to C7FFFH to be
cached, if the cache controller is also enabled.
Video RAM Cacheable Cache Video RAM to L2 cache.
8 Bit I/O Recovery Time The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU clocks,
which the system will be delay after the completion of an I/O request. This item allows you
to determine the recovery time allowed for 8 bit I/O. Choices are from NA, 1 to 8 CPU
clocks.
16 Bit I/O Recovery Time This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed
for 16-bit I/O. Choices are from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.
Memory Hole At15M-16M In order to improve performance, certain space in memory
can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory below
16MB.
Passive Release When Enabled, CPU to PCI bus access are allowed during passive
release. Otherwise, the arbiter only accept PCI master access to local.

Delayed Transaction The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support
delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to compliance with PCI specification version
2.1..
AGP Aperture Size (MB)
Select the size of the AGP aperture. The aperture is a portion
of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host cycle
that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. See
www.agpforum.org for AGP information. The choice 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
SDRAM RAS-to- CAS Delay; SDRAM CAS latency Time You can select RAS to CAS
Delay time (CAS latency time) in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The system board designer should

PCI IDE IRQ Map To Primary IDE INT#; Secondary IDE INT# 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 device rather than a PCI controller. The moe 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 holds the controller and which PCI
interrupt (A,B,C,D) is associated with the connected hard disk. This setting refers to the hard
disk drive itself, rather than individual partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate
hard drives, you can select the INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a
lower interrupt than the secondary as described in lot x Using INT# above. Select PCI
Auto allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk system is
configured.

LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS When your mainboard has problems and needs to trouble shoot
the system, you can use this function. The default values loaded only affect the BIOS
Features Setup, Chipset Features Setup, Power Management Setup and PNP/PCI
Configuration Setup. There is no effect on the Standard CMOS Setup. To use this function,
select it from main menu and press <Enter>. A line will appear on the screen asking if you
want to load the BIOS default values. Press <Yes> and <Enter> then the BIOS default
values will be loaded.
LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS This allows you to load optimal settings which are stored in
the BIOS ROM. The default values loaded only affect the BIOS Features Setup, Chipset
Features Setup, Power Management Setup and PNP/PCI Configuration Setup. There is no
effect on the Standard CMOS Setup. To use this function, select it from main menu and
press <Enter>. A line will appear on the screen asking if you want to load the Setup default
values. Press <Yes> and <Enter> then the Setup default values will be loaded.
SUPERVISOR PASSWORD / USER PASSWORD This allows you to set the password.
The mainboard defaults with password disabled. If you set both supervisor and user
passwords, only the supervisor password allows you to enter the BIOS SETUP program.
Enter/Change password : Enter the current password. And at the prompt, key-in your new
password (up to eight alphanumeric characters), then press <Enter>. At the next prompt,
confirm the new password by typing it again and press <Enter>.
Disable password : Press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password when the
Enter Password dialog box appears. A message will appear for confirming that the
password is disabled.
CAUTION: If you forgot your password, you must disable the CMOS by
turning the power off and setting JP 8 to 2-3, then 1-2 to reload the system.
IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION This allows you to detect the IDE hard disk drivers
parameters and enter them into Standard CMOS Setup automatically. If the auto-detected
parameters displayed do not match the ones that should be used for your hard drive, do not
accept them. Press <N> to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually on the
Standard CMOS Setup screen.
SAVE & EXIT SETUP This allows you to save the new setting values in the CMOS
memory and continue with the booting process. Select what you want to do, press <Enter>.
