11 PM66A PRO/ PM66A Hardware Installation This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage your system components. CPU Processor Installation This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4 processors using a Socket 478. Before building your system, we suggest you visit the Intel website and review the processor installation procedures. CPU Socket 478 Configuration Steps:. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket. Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.. On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin- receptor. This corner will be near to the end of the lever. Match the dot on the CPU with the pin- receptor on the socket and lower the CPU onto the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket. Pin Receptor Dot 3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU. 4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and insert it onto the CPUFAN adapter. Attention: Before starting the system Please recheck the installation procedures completely before starting the system. Verify that the heatsink is properly installed and make sure the CPU fan is working. Overheating can damage the CPU and other sensitive components. 8

23 PM66A PRO/ PM66A Chapter. BIOS Setup Introduction This section describes PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS Setup program which resides in the BIOS firmware. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. The configuration information is then saved to CMOS RAM where the data is sustained by battery after power-down. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. As well, the BIOS controls the first stage of the boot process, loading and executing the operating system. The PHOENIX-AWARD TM BIOS installed in your computer system s ROM is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports the BIOS of Intel based processors. This version of the PHOENIX-AWARD TM BIOS includes additional features such as virus and password protection as well as special configurations for fine-tuning the system chipset. The defaults for the BIOS values contained in this document may vary slightly with the version installed in your system. (Note: When you boot up the computer, the BIOS version will appear at upper-left portion of the POST screen.) Plug and Play Support This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version.0A specification as well as ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) write. EPA Green PC Support This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version.03 of the EPA Green PC specification. APM Support This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version. &. of the Advanced Power Management (APM) specification. These features include system sleep and suspend modes in addition to hard disk and monitor sleep modes. Power management features are implemented using the System Management Interrupt (SMI). PCI Bus Support This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS also supports Version. of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) local bus specification. 0
