The JP35 is used to enable or disable onboard PROMISE®FastTrak 100 Lite IDE RAID controller. If you

want to disable this controller, please turn off the system power first, and short pin 2 and pin 3 of JP35 by

umper.

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To

clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.

1. Turn off the system and unplug theAC power.

2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.

3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.

4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pins 1 & pin2.

5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?

1. Boot fail because of overclocking…

2. Forget password…

Match Pin 1 and cut edge. Then insert the

CPU into the socket.

3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish

CPU installation.

Plug in the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPU FAN connector. If you have chassis fan,

you can also plug it on System FAN or AUX FAN (without H/W monitoring) connector.

Warning: To avoid possible CPU damage caused by overheating, an automatic shutdown of

system had been especially designed on this motherboard. System would be automatically

ower off when this motherboard with implementation of THERMTRIP circuit detected a

CPU tem

erature above 135 de

ree for 4 seconds.

5. Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency

Note: If you do not match the CPU

socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it

may damage the CPU.

CPU Pin 1 and cut edge

Setting CPU Core Voltage

This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automaticall

detected and the range is from 1.05V to 1.825V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core

Voltage

Setting CPU Frequency

This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the

BIOS setup, and no jumpers or switches are needed.

BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup

FAN2 Connector

This socket supports FC-PGA/FCPGA2 package CPU, which is the latest CPU package

developed by Intel, we strongly recommend you not to insert former PPGA-package CPU

onto it.

6. JP23 FSB/PCI Clock Ratio 8. Connecting IDE, Floppy and IDE RAID Cables

9. Connecting Front Panel Cable

This jumper is used to specify the relationship of PCI and FSB clock. Generall

speaking, if you are not overclockers, we recommend you to set at the default setting.

By the way, this motherboard also provides “1MHz Stepping Adjustment” feature fo

overclockers. You can adjust CPU FSB frequency via BIOS setup program. Based on

the CPU type, the adjustment range has three level: 66~83 (FSB=66MHz, such as

Celeron™ 533), 75~124 (FSB=100, such as Pentium®III 800E), 100~248 (FSB=133,

such as Pentium®III 800EB) MHz for your choosing. If you fix the CPU FSB frequenc

by JP23, the “1MHz Stepping Adjustment” range will be changed and following JP23

setting.

Connect 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy connector FDC and

IDE / IDE RAID connector. Be careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may

cause system damage.

The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this

module and application software such as Laplink or Windows 95 Direct Cable

Connection, the user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and

printers. This connector supports HPSIR (115.2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps).

Install the infrared module onto the IrDA connector and enable the infrared function

from BIOS Setup, UART mode select, make sure to have the correct orientation when

you plug in the IrDA connector.

If the housing has been design with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be able to

connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove

the jumper cap from the Front Panel Audio Connector before you connect the cable. Do

not remove this yellow jumper cap if housing without an audio port on the front panel.

The CD-IN connector is used to connect CD Audio

cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound.

The MODEM-CN connector is used to connect

Mono In/ Mic Out cable from internal modem card to

onboard sound circuit.

The AUX-IN connector is used to connect MPEG

The Dr. Voice is a great feature of this motherboard. It can let you easily to know what

kind of problem occurred. It can clearly “tell” whether there is a component issue or an

installation issue, such as CPU, memory module, VGA, PCI add-on card, FDD, HDD o

keyboard by voice. The Dr. Voice provides four kinds of language version, English,

German, Japanese and Chinese for choosing. You can select preferred language

version by JP15 & JP16.

fter you finish the setting of jumpers and connect correct cables. Power on

and enter the BIOS Setup, press <Del> during POST (Power On Self Test).

Choose "Load Setup Defaults" for recommended optimal performance.

14. Power-on and Load BIOS Setup

15. AOpen Bonus Pack CD 17. BIOS Upgrade

Open Easy Flash is more use

-friendly than traditional flash method. The BIOS binary

file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a single file to complete

the flash process.

1. Download new BIOS upgrade zipped file from AOpen's web site. For example,

AX3SP2U102.ZIP.

2. Run shareware PKUNZIP (http://www.pkware.com) which supports

miscellaneous operation systems to extract the binary BIOS file and the flash

utility. Or Winzip (http://www.winzip.com/) in Windows environment.

3. Save the unzipped file into a bootable floppy disk.

For example, AX3SP2U102.BIN & AX3SP2U102.EXE

4. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as

EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space.

5. Execute A:> AX3SP2U102 and the program will do the rest of it.

DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS until you are asked to!!

6. Reboot system and press <Del> to enter BIOS Setup, Choose "Load Setup

Defaults", then “Save & Exit Setup” and finish the BIOS upgrade.

Warning: The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace your original BIOS

content after flashing. The original BIOS setting and Win95/Win98 PnP information

will be refreshed and you probably need to re-configure your system.

16. Installing Onboard Sound Driver

You can use the autorun menu of Bonus CD disc. Choose the utility and driver and select

model name.

Warning: Please avoid of using "Load

Turbo Defaults", unless you are sure

our system components (CPU, DRAM,

HDD, etc.) are good enough for turbo

settin

This motherboard comes with an AD 1885 AC97 CODEC, you can find the audio drive

from the Bonus Pack CD disc auto-run menu.

If you encounter any trouble to boot you system, follow the procedures

accordingly to resolve the problem.

Part Number and Serial Number

The Part Number and Serial number are printed on bar code label. You can find this

bar code label on the outside packing, on ISA/CPU slot or on component side of PCB.

For example:

Model name and BIOS version

AX3S Plus II-U R1.00 Feb. 01. 2001AOpen Inc.

ward Plug and Play BIOS Extension v1.0A

Model name and BIOS version can be found on upper left corner of first boot screen

(POST screen). For example:

P/N: 91.88110.201 is part number, S/N: 91949378KN73 is serial number.

AX3S Plus II-U is model name of motherboard; R1.00 is BIOS version

Make sure if the jumper settings for CPU and DRAMs are correct.

Clear CMOS.

Install the VGA card. Then connect your monitor and keyboard.

The problem was probably caused

by power supply or motherboard

failure. Please contact your reselle

or local distributor for repairing.

Perhaps your VGA card or monito

is defective.

Yes

It is very possible that your keyboard

is defective.

During system rebooting, press Del to enter BIOS Setup. Choose

“Load Setup Default".

The problem should be caused by the

IDE cables or HDD itself.

Re-install Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT.

Yes

Turn off the power and unplug the AC power cable, then remove all

of the addon cards and cables, including VGA, IDE, FDD, COM1,

COM2 and Printer.

Turn on the power, and check if

the power supply and CPU fan

work properly.

Start

Check if there is display.

Press Ctrl, and Alt key at the

same time, hold them and then

press Del to see if the

stem reboots.

Turn off the system and

re-connect the IDE cable.

Check if the system can

reboot successfully.
