traditional ATX system should remain at power off stage when AC

power resumes from power failure. This design is inconvenient for a

network server or workstation without an UPS, that needs to keep

power-on when power comes back. Enable JP25 can solve this

problem.

Everything you need to boot this

motherboard is included in this Easy

Installation Guide. For more

information, a complete Online User's

Manual can be found in the Bonus

Pack CD Disc. Thanks for the help of

saving our earth. Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?

1. Boot fail because of overclocking…

2. Forget password…

3. Troubleshooting…

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear

the CMOS, follow the procedure below.

1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC 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 1-2.

5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

Plug CPU to slot1 connector. Be careful of CPU

orientation. Plug in the fan cable to the 3-pin

CPUFAN or FAN connector.

Setting CPU Core Voltage

This motherboard supports Pentium II / Pentium III CPU VID function. The CPU

core voltage will be automatically detected and the range is from 1.3V to 3.5V.

Setting CPU Frequency

The CPU frequency selection is set by going into:

BIOS Setup > Chipset Features Setup > CPU Clock Frequency

CPU Ratio 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, 4x, 4.5x, 5x, 5.5x, 6x, 6.5x, 7x, 7.5x, and 8x

CPU FSB 66.8, 68.5, 75, 83.3, 100, 103, 112, 117, 124, 129, 133.3, 138, 143,

148 and 153 MHz.

Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio

CPU CPU Core Frequency FSB Clock Ratio

Celeron 300A 300MHz = 66MHz 4.5x

Celeron 366 366MHz= 66MHz 5.5x

Pentium II 233 233MHz = 66MHz 3.5x

Pentium II 333 333MHz = 66MHz 5x

Pentium II 350 350MHz= 100MHz 3.5x

Pentium II 400 400MHz = 100MHz 4x

Pentium III 450 450MHz= 100MHz 4.5x

Pentium III 500 500MHz = 100MHz 5x

Pentium III 550E 550MHz = 100MHz 5.5x

Pentium III 600E 600MHz = 100MHz 6x

Pentium III 650E 650MHz = 100MHz 6.5x

Pentium III 700E 700MHz = 100MHz 7x

Note: Some CPU fans do not have

sense pin, so that cannot support

fan monitoring.

Warning: INTEL 440BX chipset supports maximum 100MHz

FSB and 66MHz AGP clock, higher clock setting may cause

serious system damage.

Tip: If your system hangs or fails to boot

because of overclocking, simply use

<Home> key to restore the default setting

(233MHz).

1/1, overclocking 133MHz 133MHz

1/1, overclocking 153MHz 153MHz

Auto (default) 2/3 1/1

It is recommended to set JP23 at Auto unless you

are overclocking. There are two CPU types, 66MHz

FSB and 100/133MHz FSB. If JP23 is set at Auto,

the AGP clock ratio will be automatically

determined by chipset. For 66M CPU, it is 1/1, for

100/133M CPU, it is 2/3. You can also manually

decide AGP frequency if you are overclocking.

the power switch cable from your ATX housing. It is

2-pin female connector from the housing front panel.

Plug this connector to the soft-power switch connecto

marked SPWR.

Tip: For Intel BX motherboard, no utility or

driver is essential to boot this motherboard, you

can run your system without installing any utility

or driver described in this installation guide.

Power-on and Load BIOS Setup

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.

Del

Autorun Menu from Bonus CD Disc

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 your system components

(CPU, DRAM, HDD, etc.) are good

enough for turbo setting.

There is no need to install Bus Master IDE driver to support Ultra DMA/33 hard

disk. If you need this driver, you can find it in the AOpen Bonus Pack CD disc.

Installing Bus Master IDE Driver

Installing Hardware Monitoring Utility

You can install Hardware Monitoring Utility to monitor CPU temperature, fans and

system voltage. You can find it in the AOpen Bonus Pack CD disc.

Note: Installing this Bus Master IDE

driver may cause Suspend to Hard

Drive failure.

BIOS Upgrade

Open Easy Flash is more user 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. Get new BIOS upgrade program from AOpen's web site. For example,

AX6BC247.EXE. It is recommended to save it to a bootable DOS floppy diskette for

error recovery.

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

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

3. Execute A:> AX6BC247

DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS.

4. Reboot system and press

Del

to enter BIOS setup, Choose "Load Setup

Defaults", then “Save & Exit Setup”. Done!

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.

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

procedures accordingly to resolve the problem.

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

Clear CMOS.

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

Turn on the power, and check if the power supply and CPU

fan work properly.

Start

The problem was probably caused by

power supply or motherboard failure.

Please contact your reseller or local

distributor for repairing.

Check if there is display. Perhaps your VGA card or monitor is

defective.

Yes

Press Ctrl, and Alt key at the same time, hold them and then

press Del to see if the system reboots. No It is very possible that your keyboard is

defective.

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

Setup Default".

Turn off the system and re-connect the IDE cable.Check

if the system can reboot successfully. The problem should be caused by the

IDE cables or HDD itself.

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

Yes

End

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.

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

AX6BC R2.47 Jun.04.1999 AOpen 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

AX6BC is model name of motherboard, R2.47 is BIOS version.
