8. Push down the opposite side of the ZIF clip and hook it.
9. Connect the cooling fan cable to the socket as shown below. Be careful not to
place the cable on the CPU cooling fan.
Removing a CPU:
1. Before removing the CPU, turn off the power and wait for about 20 minutes until
the heat radiation plate of the cooling fan and the CPU cools down.
2. Rotate mark of screw-nut to face the “OPEN”.
3. To remove the CPU.
WARNING: The CPU and the heat radiation plate are hot and can cause
burns.
Heat Sink & Retention Module Installation
It is highly recommended that only the M-855 Heat sink and fan (Figure 4), designed
for use in the chassis be used. The use of other heat sinks, including those boxed
with CPUs, may damage the M-855.
Make sure that good contact is made between the processors and the heat sinks.
Insufficient contact, incorrect types of heat sinks, fans, or thermal compound used or
improper amount of thermal compound applied on the CPU die can cause the
processors to overheat, which may crash the system.
The Retention Module is used to hold up the weight of the Heat sink and fan.

Figure 5 display the notch marks and what they should look like on your DIMM
memory module.
DIMMs have184 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 6) until it fits tightly into the DIMM socket.
Figure 5: DIMM Memory and 184-pins Socket
Figure 6: Memory Installation
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 M-855 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.
Only use the same size and manufacturer of memory modules.
Setting Jumpers and DIP Switches
There are jumpers and DIP-switches on the M/B of the M-855 Series. The jumpers
can be set for various operations.
Figure 7: Jumper Connector
For any three-pins jumpers (Figure 7), the jumper setting is 1-2 when the jumper
connects pins 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pins 2 and 3 are connected. The
numbers “1“ and a “3“ are printed on the circuit board to identify these pins. And also,
there is a second way of indication – one of the lines surrounding jumpers is thick,
which indicates pin number 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.

Award BIOS Setup
3.1
BIOS Instructions
Award’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows the 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, which would cause data loss in the CMOS
only. If that happens the BIOS settings would need to be reconfigured.
3.2 Main Menu
Once you enter the AwardBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two
exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to
accept and enter the sub-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.

Select the operating system that is selecting DRAM timing, so select SPD for setting
SDRAM timing by SPD.
The choices: Manual, By SPD.
CAS Latency Time:
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency
depends on the DRAM timing.

Active To Precharge Delay:
Select the operating system that is active to precharge delay.
The choices: 5, 6, 7.
DRAM RAS# To CAS# Delay:
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals,
used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster
performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when
synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The choices: 2, 3.
DRAM RAS# Precharge:
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 choices: 2, 3.
DRAM Data Integrity Mode:
This item shows you if the DRAM has ECC or not.
The choices: Non-ECC, ECC.

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.
3.15 Exiting BIOS Setup
Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
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.
