Hardware Setup 2-1

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), ordisconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to doso may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or damaged.

2-1. Install The Motherboard

Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow motherboard to be securelyattached on and at the same time, prevented from short circuits. There are two ways to attach themotherboard to the chassis base:

1. use with studs2. or use with spacers

In principle, the best way to attach the board is touse with studs. Only if you are unable to do thisshould you attach the board with spacers. Line upthe holes on the board with the mounting holes onthe chassis. If the holes line up and there arescrew holes, you can attach the board with studs.If the holes line up and there are only slots, youcan only attach with spacers. Take the tip of thespacers and insert them into the slots. After doing

this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OKbefore putting the chassis back on.

ATTENTION: To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if theyare already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the motherboard to align with.

2-2. Install CPU and Heatsink

Note

Installing a heatsink and cooling fan is necessary for heat to dissipate from your processor.Failing to install these items may result in overheating and processor damage.

The AMD Socket A processor will produce a lot of heat while operating, so you need to use alarge heat sink that is especially designed for the AMD socket A processor. Otherwise, it mayresult in overheating and processor damage.

If your processor fan and its power cable are not installed properly, never plug the ATX powercable into the motherboard. This can prevent possible processor damage.

Please refer to your processor installation manual or other documentation with your processor fordetailed installation instructions.

BIOS Update Guide F-1

Appendix F. BIOS Update Guide

The procedure illustrated here is based on the model SE6 as an example; all other models follow the same process.

1. First, find out the model name and version number of this motherboard. You can find a bar-codesticker typed with model name and version number on motherboard PCB.

2. Find out the current BIOS ID. For example, in this case, the current BIOS ID is [ 00]. If you alreadyhave the latest BIOS, no any update action is necessary. If your BIOS is not the latest BIOS, go on tothe next step.

3. Download the correct BIOS file from our Web site.

4. Double click the downloaded file, it will self-extractto [ awdflash.exe ] and [* .bin ] files.

5. Make a bootable floppy disk and copy the necessaryfiles onto it. You may make a floppy disk bootableeither in Explorer or in the DOS prompt mode.

[c:\]format a: /s

After formatting and transferring the system to thefloppy disk, copy two files into it. One is the BIOSflash utility [ awdflash.exe ] and the other is the

decompressed BIOS binary [* .bin ] file.

F-2 Appendix F

6. Please set the first boot sequence as Floppy in BIOS and boot off the floppy disk.

7. Flash the BIOS in pure DOS mode.

A:\>awdflash se6_sw.bin /cc /cd /cp /py /sn /cks /r_

Note

We strongly recommend you use the above parameters following awdflash to flash your BIOS.DO NOT just type awdflash se6_sw.bin without the above parameters following the .bin file.

The Award flash utility cannot be completed under the Windows environment. It must be done ina pure DOS environment.

You should check which BIOS file is to be used with your motherboard, don flash with thewrong BIOS file. Otherwise, it may cause system malfunctions.

Please do not use the Award flash memory writer version earlier than Version 7.52C to flash theBIOS. Otherwise, it may cause flash fail or un-anticipated problems.

During the updating, the progress will be measured by white blocks. The last four blue blocks ofthe flash update process represent the BIOS boot block. The BIOS boot block is used to preventthe BIOS from becoming corrupt during programming. It should not be programmed every time.If this BIOS boot block remains intact when the BIOS becomes corrupt during programming,then you can boot from a bootable floppy next time you boot your computer. This allows you toflash your BIOS again without the need for technical support from the dealer.

7. This screen appears. Hardware Doctorshows you the status of Voltage, Fan Speed, andTemperature readings as well. If any reading iscritical or over its limitation, the reading turnsred. Also, a pop-up window appears warningyou the system has a problem!

This is the warning message window:

Ignore: You can ignore the warning message ofthe item, but it will pop up again when an errorof the same item reoccurs.

Disable: The chosen item will be no longer

monitored thereafter, unless you activate it inthe Configuration page.

Shutdown: Choosing this button will shutdownthe computer.

Help: You can read more information andself-diagnose simple problems.

If the warning message pops up due to thewrong warning limit, you can adjust it in theConfiguration option. For example, if you

set the temperature high limit to 40

C, you willeasily exceed the proper temperature.

Pay attention to two things when you want tomake any change to the Configuration option.Firstly, you have to make sure your new settingis in the proper range. Secondly, after youfinished the configuration, you have to save it.Otherwise, the program will start with thedefault value next time.

If you encounter any problem or have anyquestion about the software settings andadjustments, please use the Winbond hardwaredoctor on-line help. It should give you enoughinformation to answer your questions.
