chip elettronici da DIMM1 a DIMM4.
Per completare l?installazione dell?hardware del
sistema, bisogna collegare tutti i cavi delle attrezzature necessarie ai relativi collettori e connettori sulla
scheda madre.
Connettori, collettori, interruttori ed adattatori
All?interno della copertura di ogni computer ci sono diversi cavi e prese che devo essere collegati. Questi
cavi e prese sono solitamente collegati uno ad uno ai connettori situati sulla scheda madre. E? necessario
prestare particolare attenzione a qualunque orientamento del collegamento che possono avere i cavi e, se
necessario, notare la posizione del primo pin del connettore. Si installeranno alcuni adattatori per
particolari necessit? quali l?adattatore SCSI, AGP, eccetera. Quando si installano gli adattatori sugli slot
della scheda madre, si ricorda di fissarli con le viti anche sul pannello posteriore del telaio.
Per informazioni dettagliate si prega di fare riferimento alla versione integrale del Manuale utente.
Collegamento dei connettori d?alimentazione ai connettori ATX
Ricordarsi che ? necessario spingere con fermezza fino in fondo il connettore della sorgente
d?alimentazione ATX al connettore ATX, assicurando cos? un buon collegamento.

Hardware Setup
2-1
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or
disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do
so 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 securely
attached on and at the same time, prevented from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the
motherboard to the chassis base:
1. use with studs
2. or use with spacers
In principle, the best way to attach the board is to
use with studs. Only if you are unable to do this
should you attach the board with spacers. Line up
the holes on the board with the mounting holes on
the chassis. If the holes line up and there are
screw holes, you can attach the board with studs.
If the holes line up and there are only slots, you
can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the
spacers 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
OK before putting the chassis back on.
ATTENTION: To prevent shorting the PCB
circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or
spacers if they are already fastened on the chassis
base and are without mounting-holes on the
motherboard to align with.

until it completely covers the CPU.
4.
Put the heatsink supporting-cover onto the
heatsink. Make sure all the four locking clasp
at each side of the supporting cover reach in
the locking holes.
5.
Push down the retaining clip at both sides of
the supporting cover to lock up together with
the supporting base. Watch out the direction
for pushing down the clip.

array, all the data stored in the hard disks will
first be erased! Please backup the hard disk data
before starting to create the RAID array.
If you want to create a RAID 1 (mirroring) array,
please make sure which hard disk is the source
disk and which one is the destination disk. If
you make a mistake, you may copy the blank
data to the source disk, which will result in both
hard disks becoming blank!

Option 2
Delete RAID set
This item allows you to remove a RAID Array
on this onboard Serial ATA RAID controller.
NOTE: After you have made and confirmed
this selection, all the data stored in the hard disk
will be lost. (The entire partition configuration
will be deleted too.)
Option 3
Rebuild Mirrored set
This item allows you to rebuild only ?Mirrored?
RAID set.
You need to check which hard disk is the source
disk and which one is the destination disk when
you decide to rebuild mirrored RAID set.
Option 4
Resolve Conflicts
When a RAID set is created, the metadata
written to the disk includes drive connection
information (Primary Channel, Secondary
Channel).
If, after a disk failure, the replacement disk was
previously part of a RAID set (or used in
another system), it may have conflicting
metadata, specifically in reference to the drive
connection information. If so, this will prohibit
the RAID set from being either created or
rebuilt.
In order for the RAID set to function properly,
this old metadata must be first overwritten with
the new metadata. To resolve this, select
?Resolve Conflict?. The correct metadata,
including the correct drive connection
information, will then be written to the
replacement disk.
NOTE: For more information on RAID
function, please refer to the RAID Management
Software enclosed in the CD that came packed
with this motherboard.

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-code
sticker 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 already
have the latest BIOS, no any update action is necessary. If your BIOS is not the latest BIOS, go on to
the next step.
3.
Download the correct BIOS file from our Web site.
4.
Double click the downloaded file, it will self-extract
to [awdflash.exe] and [*.bin] files.
5.
Make a bootable floppy disk and copy the necessary
files onto it. You may make a floppy disk bootable
either in Explorer or in the DOS prompt mode.
[c:\]format a: /s
After formatting and transferring the system to the
floppy disk, copy two files into it. One is the BIOS
flash utility [awdflash.exe] and the other is the
decompressed BIOS binary [*.bin] file.

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 in
a pure DOS environment.
?
You should check which BIOS file is to be used with your motherboard, don? flash with the
wrong 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 the
BIOS. 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 of
the flash update process represent the ?BIOS boot block?. The BIOS boot block is used to prevent
the 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 to
flash your BIOS again without the need for technical support from the dealer.

Installation Guide for Suspend to RAM
H-1
Appendix H. Installation Guide for Suspend to RAM
Suspend To RAM (STR) is a cost-effective, optimal implementation of the ACPI 1.0 specification. The
ACPI specification defines the S3 sleep state, in which all system context is lost except system memory.
CPU, cache, and chip set context are lost in this state. Hardware maintains memory context and restores
some CPU and L2 configuration context.
The STR function enables a PC to achieve the S3 state during idle periods, then quick ?wake up? and
retrieve the last ?state? of the system before it went to sleep. When idle, STR-enabled systems consume
only a small fraction of the power used for full operation. Instead of shutting down the system to save
power when not in use and then having to reboot later, users can let the STR function take over and not
have to worry about using power to run all the electronics, fans and disks. When needed, a PC with STR
function can restore all applications and features to an operational state within a few seconds.
The following description will tell you how to install the STR function and to use it.
After the operating system had been installed successfully, reboot your computer, you can see these ACPI
items show up in the ?Device Manager? menu by entering Start

Motherboard Troubleshooting:
Q & A:
Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my new computer
system?
A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard. Please
move the CMOS jumper from its default 1-2 position to 2-3 for a few seconds, and then back. When
you boot up your system for the first time, follow the instructions in the user's manual to load the
optimized defaults.
Q: If my systems hang when I update the BIOS or set the wrong CPU parameters, what should I
do?
A: Whenever you update the BIOS or if the system hangs due to wrong CPU parameters setting, always
clear CMOS jumper before booting up again.
Q: Why the system failed to boot up and nothing was displayed on the screen after I did some
over-clocking or non-standard settings inside the BIOS? Is the motherboard dead? Do I need to
return it to where I bought from or go through an RMA process?
A: It should not cause hardware or permanent damage to motherboard when BIOS settings were
changed from default to over-clocking or non-standard status.
We suggest the following three troubleshooting methods to discharge CMOS data, recover the
hardware default status, and then make the motherboard working again. No need to bother returning
the motherboard to where you bought from or go through an RMA process.
Step 1. Switch off the power supply unit and then switch it on again after one minute. If there is no
power switch on the power supply unit, disconnect its power cord for one minute and then
connect it back.
Press and hold the <Insert> key on the keyboard, press the power-on button to boot up
system. If it works, loose the <Insert> key and hit <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup page to
do the correct settings.
If the situation remains the same, repeat the procedures in Step 1 for three times, or try Step
2.
Step 2. Switch off the power supply unit or disconnect the power cord. Open the chassis cover.
Locate the CCMOS jumper near the button battery. Change the jumper position from default
1-2 to 2-3 for one minute to discharge the CMOS data, and then put it back to default 1-2
position.
Close the chassis and switch on the power supply unit or plug in the power cord. Press the
power-on button to boot up system. If it works, hit <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup page
to do the correct settings.
If the situation remains the same, try Step 3.
Step 3. The same procedure as Step 2, but in the meantime of discharging the CMOS data, pull out
ATX power connectors from motherboard and remove the button battery during CMOS
discharging.

Q: How can I get a quick response to my request for technical support?
A: Be sure to follow the guidelines as stated in the ?Technical Support Form? section of this manual.
If you have a problem during operation, in order to help our technical support personnel quickly
determine the problem with your motherboard and give you the answers you need, before filling in
the technical support form, eliminate any peripheral that is not related to the problem, and indicate it
on the form. Fax this form to your dealer or to the company where you bought the hardware in order
to benefit from our technical support. (You can refer to the examples given below)
Example 1:
With a system including: motherboard (with CPU, DRAM, COAST...) HDD, CD-ROM, FDD, VGA
CARD, MPEG CARD, SCSI CARD, SOUND CARD, etc. After the system is assembled, if you
cannot boot up, check the key components of the system using the procedure described below. First
remove all interface cards except the VGA card and try to reboot.
If you still cannot boot up: Try installing another brand/model VGA card and see if the system will
start. If it still does not start, note the VGA card model, motherboard model, Bios identification
number, CPU on the technical support form (refer to main instructions), and describe the problem in
the problem description space provided.
If you can boot up: Insert the interface cards you have removed back into the system, one by one
and try to start the system each time you insert a card, until the system will not start. Keep the VGA
card and the interface card that caused the problem inserted on the motherboard, remove any other
cards or peripheral, and start again. If you still cannot start, note the information related to both cards
in the add-on Card space provided, and don?t forget to indicate the motherboard model, version,
BIOS identification number, CPU (refer to main instructions), and give a description of the problem.
Example 2:
With a system including the motherboard (with CPU, DRAM, COAST...) HDD, CD-ROM, FDD,
VGA CARD, LAN CARD, MPEG CARD, SCSI CARD, SOUND CARD, after assembly and after
having installed the Sound Card Driver, when you restart the system, when it runs the Sound Card
Driver, it resets automatically. This problem may be due to the Sound Card Driver. During the
Starting DOS? procedure, press SHIFT (BY-PASS) key, to skip CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT; edit CONFIG.SYS with a text editor, and in function the line that loads the
Sound Card Driver, add a remark REM, in order to disable the Sound Card Driver. See the example
below.
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE HIGHSCAN
DOS=HIGH, UMB
FILES=40
BUFFERS=36
REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\PLUGPLAY\DWCFGMG.SYS
LASTDRIVE=Z
Restart the system. If the system starts and does not reset, you can be sure that the problem is due to
the Sound Card Driver. Write down the Sound Card model, motherboard model, BIOS identification
number on the technical support file (refer to main instructions), and describe the problem in the
space provided.
We will show you how to fill the ?Technical Support Form?.

installed any new software or hardware recently, it is likely that you have a defective
component. Please contact the reseller from whom you bought the product. You should be
able to get RMA service there.
8. Reporting Compatibility Problems to ABIT. Because of tremendous number of email
messages we receive every day, we are forced to give greater weight to certain types of
messages than to others. For this reason, any compatibility problem that is reported to us,
giving detailed system configuration information and error symptoms will receive the
highest priority. For the other questions, we regret that we may not be able to reply
directly. But your questions may be posted to the Internet news group in order that a
larger number of users can have the benefit of the information. Please check the news
group from time to time.
