and video capabilities, an audio modem riser slot, a 4MB BIOS with built-in
anti-virus protection and UltraDMA/66 technology for lightning-fast IDE
transfer speeds.

The BIW1B is a “BabyAT” form factor motherboard, measuring 220 mm by

230 mm, and has a four-layer printed circuit board. This motherboard has two
CPU connectors on it, a Socket 370 and a SLOT1. This allows the use of either
Intel Celeron PPGA CPUs or Celeron and Pentium II/III cartridge CPUs. The
BIW1B has two DIMM sockets that take 3.3-Volt unbuffered memory
modules for a maximum memory capacity of 512MB. The external system bus
supports speeds of 66MHz to 100MHz, allowing the use of either inexpensive
66MHz or high-performance 100MHz memory in the system.

In addition to its 32-bit onboard sound functionality, the BIW1B comes with
an integrated VGA adapter with 2D and 3D graphics engines and. An audio
modem riser slot is included as well as hardware monitoring and wake-on
LAN capabilities. Built-in anti-virus protection ensures you will maintain an

The Socket 370 processor supports external bus frequencies of both 66MHz
and 100MHz, but not all Intel Pentium® CPUs can support both frequencies.
Please refer to your CPU specifications before setting the bus speed on your
motherboard.

BIW1B will auto-detect the CPU voltage without any jumper setting. So
you just need to install your CPU on Socket 370 and your system determine the
CPU voltage.
You can change the clock frequency in the BIOS CMOS Setup, so you can
refer to the section on Chipset Features Setup in Chapter 3. Even if your Intel
Pentium ® CPU doesn't support an external bus speed of 100MHz, you can still
set your motherboard's external bus speed to 100MHz, so caution is advised.

BIW1B

2.3-2 Memory installation

No jumper setting is necessary for DRAM setting; BIOS will check

DRAM type and size automatically. This motherboard contains 2 by 168-pin
DIMM socket (DIMM1, DIMM2). The motherboard has a table-free (or
auto-bank) feature; the user can install DIMM into any bank. The two DIMM
Sockets permit system memory expansion from 8MB to 512MB. Each bank
provides a 64-bit wide data path. You can install 100MHz SPD RAM or
66MHz SDRAM into the motherboard, using your CPU clock to make the
selection.

If you want to install more memory and there are no sockets available, you
must remove some installed modules and replace them with the upgrade
modules.

If you have to do this, be sure to identify what type of memory is already

installed. In some cases, there may be a mix of module types. You can confirm
this by checking the configuration screen that appears while the computer is
starting up. Press the pause key to temporarily interrupt the start-up so that you
have more time to read the screen. When you’ re done, press any key to resume.

Remove the lowest performance and smallest size modules and replace
them with the upgrades.

How to Install DIMM Modules on Motherboard

1. The SDRAM sockets are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with
cut-outs so that they cannot be installed incorrectly. Check that the cut-outs
on the DIMM edge connector match the notches in the SDRAM socket. In
other words, before inserting the DIMM, make sure the pin1 of the DIMM
matches with the pin1 on the DIMM socket.
2. Push down the latches on each side of the SDRAM socket.
3. Install the DIMM into the socket and press it carefully but firmly down so
that it seats correctly. The latches at either side of the socket will be levered
upwards and latch on the edges of the DIMM when it is installed correctly.

How to Remove DIMM Modules from Motherboard

1. Press the holding latches at either side of the socket outward to release the
DIMM.
2. Gently pull the DIMM out of the socket.

the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow across the heat sink(s). The
wiring and connector may vary depending on the fan manufacturer. The fan
connector only plugs onto the motherboard in one orientation, so you can not
connect it incorrectly.
The "rotation" signal is to be used only by a specially designed fan with a
rotation signal.

The CPU and motherboard will overheat if the hot air generated by the
! CPU does not flow across the onboard heat sinks, and the CPU fan and
motherboard can be damaged if these pins are used improperly.

Installing a Slot 1 CPU

Installing a CPU involves three steps: the insertion of the CPU into the
proper slot, the installation of the heat sink and the connection of the heat-sink
fan power cable to the appropriate motherboard connector.

Installing Procedure
Please note that the motherboard pictured below is not a BIW1B. Also, the
instructions below refer only to the installation of the CPU; to install the heat
sink, please refer to the instructions supplied with your heat sink.

1. Inspect the area around Slot1,

verify the position of four
around-sockets, and then locate
the small protruding rectangular
tab on the side of Slot1 (see
diagram).

26
BIW1B

2. Examine the CPU Retention Module and attachments. There are three
sets of attachments: 1. The module, 2. Two CPU locking caps. 3. Four
plastics screw.

3. Once the above two steps have been completed, slot the CPU Retention
into Slot1. Pull up the CPU stays on both side of the CPU Retention so
they are horizontal, at an angle of 90°. Then the side of the CPU
Retention with no mark on it and the side of Slot1 with the small
rectangular tab should be on the same side.

! The CPU Retention has to go

in a particular direction. Make
sure that it is the right way round
before slotting it in. Do not force
it in, otherwise you may damage
the motherboard and CPU
Retention.

27
BIW1B

4. Ensure that the CPU Retention has been slotted all the way in, and then
screw the four plastic screws into the sockets on each side of Slot1 to
make sure that the CPU Retention is fixed firmly in position.

5. Slide the CPU slowly into Slot1 along the two sides of the CPU
Retention.

Note: Some Slot 1 processors with different packing maybe need the caps to
let them are fixed. So if it need the caps during installing Slot 1 CPU,
please follow this step: “ Fix the CPU locking caps onto the two ends
of the CPU stays ”.

28
BIW1B

6. Connect the CPU Fan head to the CPU Fan connector on the
motherboard, and make sure that the CPU has been fixed firmly onto the
motherboard. You have now completed assembly.

SLOT 1 CPU Disassembly/Replacement Procedures

1. Move the protruding part on top of the CPU locking caps gently outwards,
so that the locking caps come off.
2. Pull the CPU Fan connector off the motherboard, and then gently pull the
CPU out from Slot1.
3. If you need to install another CPU, follow the instructions for Slot1 CPU
installation given above.

CPU & Power Supply Fan Connectors (3-pin FanPWR)

These connectors support cooling fans of 500mAMP (6WATT) or less. Orient
the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow across the heat sink(s). The
wiring and connector may vary depending on the fan manufacturer. The fan
connector only plugs onto the motherboard in one orientation, so you can not
connect it incorrectly.
The “Rotation” signal is to be used only by a specially designed fan with
rotation signal.
The CPU and motherboard will overheat if there is no airflow across
! the CPU and onboard heatsinks. Damage may occur to the
motherboard and the CPU fan if these pins are incorrectly used.

29
BIW1B

2.3-4 Installing the Motherboard

The BIW1B motherboard complies with the specifications for a BabyAT
board, so you can also install this kind of board into any BabyAT case. Some
features on the motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the
motherboard to indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your
case supports all the features required. The BIW1B motherboard can support
one or two floppy diskette drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that
your case has sufficient power and space for all the drives that you intend to
install.

! Caution: Make sure that you have already installed the system board
components like the CPU and memory, and have set the appropriate jumpers
before you proceed.

30
BIW1B

2.3-5 Installing Interface Cards

This section explains how to install interface cards. There are three PCI
expansion card slots on the motherboard. When you get an expansion card, it
will come with instructions on how to install it, so this section covers relevant
information for the motherboard only.

PCI Cards and Slots

With very few exceptions, any PCI expansion card you are likely to get will
be Plug and Play compliant. If you are using an Operating System that
supports PnP, such as Windows 98 or 95, you should be able to follow the
installation instructions that come with the card and have the Operating
System automatically recognize and configure the card.
The PCI slots on the motherboard all have “Bus Master” capability. For
installed PCI cards to use this feature, an Operating System specific Bus
Master software driver that comes with this motherboard must be installed in
your Operating System. These drivers are located on the Support Disk.

31
BIW1B

2.3-6 Installing Accessory Cables

This section describes how to connect the accessory cable that motherboard or
system housing supports. In the case of ATX, there is no need to use a bracket
to extend the connectors to the rear panel, so here we will discuss only the
installation instructions for Floppy, IDE. Power supply and Front Panel
switch/LED cables.

! Caution: Make sure that the power supply is OFF before connecting or
disconnecting any bracket or cable.

ATX Power Cable

The 20-pin ATX power cable supports 5V standby current and soft power-
on switch. The soft power switch can be either momentary or toggle type and
must comply with the ATX specification.
Plug in the power cable to the onboard power connector.

Front Panel Switch and LED Cables

Many system cases have a power switch, power LED, Reset button, Suspend
switch, speaker, keylock and HDD LED. These features are all supported on
the panel connector pin header. Connect leads from the case to it.
Refer to the 2.3-1 Panel Connector Definition for the for the panel
connector’ s pin assignments.

32
BIW1B

Floppy Cable
The floppy cable for floppy drives is a 34-pin flat cable with 5 connectors
classified as follows:
1. Female header (For floppy connector onboard)
2. Female header and Edge connector (For driver B)
3. Female header and Edge connector (For driver A)
The end-most connector cable is twisted to support floppy drive A, while the
middle connectors are for floppy drive B. The drive B connectors are designed
to accommodate both 1.44MB and 1.2MB drives. When connecting the drive,
make sure that Pin 1 on the cable (ie. the red-colored wire) matches Pin1 on
the drive’ s connector.

IDE Cables for HDD and CDROM

The motherboard has two IDE channels, Primary IDE and Secondary IDE
for connecting IDE devices. Each channel supports two IDE devices via a 34-
pin flat cable, which allows connection of a maximum of four IDE devices.

Chapter 3
Award BIOS Setup

This chapter explains how to use and modify the BIOS setup utility that is
stored on the motherboard. The setup utility stores information about the
motherboard components, and the configuration of other devices that are
connected to it. The system uses this information to test and initialize
components when it is started up, and to make sure everything runs property
when the system is operating.

The setup utility is installed with a set of default values. The default values
are designed to ensure that the system will operate adequately. You will
probably have to make changes to the setup utility whenever you add new
components to your system such as new disk drives. You may be able to
generate increased performance by changing some of the timing values in the
setup, but this can be limited by the kind of hardware you are using, for
example the rating of your memory chips. In certain circumstances, the system
may generate an error message which asks you to make changes to the setup
utility. This happens when the system finds an error during the POST (power
on self-test) that it carries out at start up.

Starting the Setup Utility

You can only start the setup utility shortly after the computer has been
turned on. A prompt appears on the computer display which says " Press DEL
to run Setup”. When you see this prompt press the Delete key, and the system
will start the setup utility and display ft main menu of the utility.

Using the Setup Utility

When you press the Delete key to start setup, the main menu of the utility
appears.

The main menu of the setup utility shows a list of the options that are
available in the utility. A highlight shows which option is currently selected.
You can use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options.
~34~
BIW1B

When an option is highlighted, you can execute the option by pressing the
Enter key. Some options lead to dialog boxes which ask you verify that that
you wish to execute that option. You usually answer these dialogs by typing Y
for yes and N for no.

Some options lead to dialog boxes which ask for more information. Setting
the User Password or Supervisor Password has this kind of dialog box.
