INSTALLATIONS  
2.1  
System Installation  
2.1.1  
CPU Installation  
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the CPU:  
1. Check and confirm that you are going to install correctly CPU type and  
pin numbers (figure 3).  
2. Lift the releasing lever of the Socket 370.  
3. Align the pin of the CPU against the pinholes of the Socket 370. Be sure  
to pay attention to the orientation of the CPU.  
Figure 3: CPU Socket  
4. Push down the CPU into the Socket 370.  
5. Push down the release lever and lock it against the key hook.  
6. Hook the hole in ZIF clip for the CPU cooling fan onto the notch on the  
socket 370.  
7. Place the CPU cooling fan atop the CPU surface.  
8. Push down the opposite side of the ZIF clip and hook it.  
9. Slide the head of the clip to left and lock it.  
10. Connect the cooling fan cable to the socket. Be careful not to place the  
cable on the CPU cooling fan.

Installations  
Removing a CPU:  
1. Before removing the CPU, turn off the F815D Series power; then wait for  
about 20 minutes until the heat radiation plate of the cooling fan and the  
CPU cool down.  
2. To remove the CPU, lift the releasing lever of the Socket 370.  
Note: The CPU and the heat radiation plate are hot. They may cause  
burns.  
To remove the CPU, reverse the installation steps.  
2.1.2  
Memory Module Installation  
Figure 4 display the notch marks and what they should look like on your  
DIMM memory module.  
DIMMs have168-pins and two notches, that will match with the onboard  
DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the  
socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 5) until it fits  
tightly into the DIMM socket.

Installations  
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:  
1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground  
yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap  
before you touch the DIMM.  
2. Do not touch the connector of the DIMM. Dirt residue may cause a  
malfunction.  
3. Hold the DIMM with its notch to the front side of the F815D Series and  
insert it completely into the socket. A DIMM should be inserted into the  
inner socket first. Guiding the hole at each end of the DIMM over the  
retaining post at each end of the DIMM socket.  
4. If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same  
procedure as above.  
5. If DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out  
and try again.  
6. Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both  
sides of the socket.  
Removing a DIMM:  
To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to carefully  
push away the plastic tabs that secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it out of  
the socket.  
Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag and must be  
populated the same size and manufactory of memory modules. .

Installations  
2.1.3  
Setting Jumpers  
There are jumpers on the system board of the F815D Series. You can  
set the jumpers to make the necessary operations.  
Figure 6: Jumper Connector  
For any three-pins jumpers (Figure 6), the jumper setting is 1-2 when  
the jumper connects pin 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pin 2 and 3 are  
connected and so on. You see one of the lines surrounding jumpers is thick,  
which indicates pin NO.1.  
To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers  
or tweezers to pull the pin cap off the pins and move it to the desired  
position.

SECTION 3  
AWARD BIOS SETUP  
3.1 BIOS Instructions  
Award’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows user to  
modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The  
modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be  
retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information  
saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration  
change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.  
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, this will cause data loss in the  
CMOS only. If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS  
settings.  
29  
 
Award BIOS Setup  
3.2 Main Menu

3.6 Advanced Chipset Features  
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific  
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and  
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external  
cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA  
bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need  
to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide  
the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might  
consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was  
being lost while using your system.

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay:  
You can select RAS to CAS Delay time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3.  
The system board designer should set the values in this field, depending on  
the DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you  
change specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.  
The choice: 2, 3 and Auto.  
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time:  
If an insufficient number of cycles are allowed for the RAS to accumulate its  
charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM  
may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more  
stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is  
installed in the system.  
The choice: 2, 3 and Auto.  
System BIOS Cacheable:  
Selecting “Enabled” allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at  
F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any  
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.  
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.  
Video BIOS Cacheable:  
Select “Enabled” allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better  
system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a  
system error may result.  
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.  
Memory Hole At 15M-16M:  
You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When  
this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of  
peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses  
their memory requirements.  
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.  
CPU Latency Timer:  
When enabled this item, the CPU cycle will only be deferred after it has been  
held in a “Snoop Stall” for 31 clocks and another ADS# has arrived. When  
disabled, the CPU cycle will be deferred immediately after the GMCH  
receives another ADS#.

AGP Graphics Aperture Size:  
This field determines the effective size of the Graphic Aperture used for a  
particular GMCH configuration. It can be updated by the GMCH-specific  
BIOS configuration sequence before the PCI standard bus enumeration  
sequence takes place. If it is not updated then a default value will select an  
aperture of maximum size.

3.9 PnP/PCI Configurations  
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal  
Computer Interconnect, is a system, which allows I/O devices to operate at  
speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its  
own special components. This section covers some very technical items  
and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make  
any changes to the default settings.

3.14 Supervisor/User Password Setting  
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The  
differences between are:  
Set Supervisor Password: can enter and change the options of the setup  
menus.  
Set User Password: just can only enter but do not have the right to change  
the options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following  
message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a  
password.  
ENTER PASSWORD:  
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>.  
The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from  
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the  
password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the  
selection and not enter a password.  
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter  
the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once  
the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup  
freely.  
PASSWORD DISABLED.  
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every  
time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from  
changing any part of your system configuration.  
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to  
request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent  
unauthorized use of your computer.  
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features  
Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is  
set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to  
Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special  
section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next  
time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to  
the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is  
restarted again.  
Exit Without Saving  
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:  
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y  
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The  
previous selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts  
your computer.
