JP23/JP29 FSB/PCI Clock Ratio

This jumper is used to specify the relationship of PCI and

host clock. Generally speaking, we suggest you do not

change the default setting. But for overclocking, changing

these jumper settings becomes necessary. For example,

you must set JP29 to “5-6” and JP23 to “3-4” if you want to

overclock a 66MHz FSB clock CPU to 100MHz or higher.

Configuring System Memory

This motherboard has two 168-pin DIMM sockets that

allow you to install PC133 memory up to 512 MB. Only

SDRAM is supported.

Pin 1

Tip: The driving capability of new generation

chipset is limited due to the lack of a memory

buffer (to improve performance). This makes

DRAM chip count an important factor to take

into consideration when you install DIMMs.

Unfortunately, there is no way that the BIOS

can identify the correct chip count, you need

to calculate the chip count by yourself. The

simple rule is: By visual inspection, use

only DIMMs which are less than 18 chips.

provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use, the Ethernet RJ45 connector

is located on top of USB connectors. The green LED indicates the link mode, it lights

when linking to net

ork and blinking when transferring data. The orange LED indicates

the transfer mode, it will light when transferring data in 100Mbps mode.

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 Audio Connector before you connect the cable. Do not

remove this yellow jumper cap if housing without an audio port on the front panel.

Installing Onboard Sound Driver

This motherboard comes with an AD 1885AC97 CODEC. You can find the audio

driver from the Bonus Pack CD disc autorun menu.

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,

MX3SP102.EXE. It is recommended to save it to a bootable DOS floppy diskette fo

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:> MX3SP102

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.

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

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.

Installing LAN Driver

The South Bridge in Intel i815E/i815EP (Solano Series) integrates a total

communication solution including 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet for Office requirement. You

can install LAN Driver under Windows95/98, WindowsNT & Windows2000 by

following steps.
