3.7.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclusively
assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them
are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If the motherboard has PCI
audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If the motherboard also has MIDI
enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.

3.8.2 Internal Connectors
WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper
caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard.
IMPORTANT: Always connect ribbon cables such that the red stripe matches
Pin 1 on the connector. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector
on hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on
floppy disk drives.
1) Primary/Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1 pin IDE1/IDE2)
These connectors support ATA-100 IDE hard disks. Use IDE ribbon cables to
connect the master and slave devices to these connectors. If you install two hard
disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper
accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS
supports specific device bootup (see 4.6. Boot Menu).
NOTE: Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole
on the ATA-100 cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when
you connect the cables.
TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon
cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary

SCSI Connection Notes
This motherboard has two 68-Pin Ultra160 SCSI connectors; one for each of the
two channels.
The onboard SCSI chipset incorporates an advanced multimode I/O cell that supports
both single-ended (SE), Ultra2, and Ultra160/320 devices. With Ultra160/320 devices,
the SCSI bus platform performs at full Ultra160/320 speeds (up to 160MB/sec or
320MB/s) and extended cabling 12m (or 25m in a point-to-point configuration).
When an SE device is attached, the bus defaults to an SE speed and 1.5m cable
length.
IMPORTANT: Connect SCSI devices as shown. Each channel should have
only one type of SCSI standard (e.g. Ultra160/320, Ultra2, Ultra-Wide). Mixing
SCSI devices on the same channel decreases performance of the slower device.

case you need to reinstall the BIOS later. AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer
utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable
flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode. To determine
the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code
displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers
represent a newer BIOS file.
1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk. DO
NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk.
2. Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CD-ROM
drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created.
NOTE: AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS prompt
within Windows and does not work with certain memory drivers that may be
loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot
using a floppy disk.
3. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk.
NOTE: BIOS setup must specify “Floppy” as the first item in the boot
sequence.
4. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH.
IMPORTANT! If the word “unknown” appears after Flash Memory:, the
memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS
and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

4.1.2 Updating BIOS Procedures
WARNING! Update the BIOS only if you have problems with the motherboard
and you know that the new BIOS revision will solve your problems. Careless
updating can result to more problems with the motherboard!
1. Download an updated ASUS BIOS file from the Internet (WWW or FTP) (see
ASUS CONTACT INFORMATION on page 3 for details) and save to the boot
floppy disk you created earlier.
2. Boot from the floppy disk.
3. At the “A:\” prompt, type AFLASH and then press <Enter>.
4. At the Main Menu, type 2 then press <Enter>. The Update BIOS Including
Boot Block and ESCD screen appears.
5. Type the filename of your new BIOS and the path, for example, A:\XXX-
XX.XXX, then press <Enter>.
NOTE: To cancel this operation, press <Enter>.
6. When prompted to confirm the BIOS update, press Y to start the update.

7. The utility starts to program the new BIOS information into the Flash ROM.
The boot block is updated automatically only when necessary. This minimizes
the possibilities of boot problems in case of update failures. When the
programming is done, Flashed Successfully appears.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
WARNING! If you encounter problems while updating the new BIOS, DO NOT
turn off the system because this may cause boot problems. Just repeat the process,
and if the problem still persists, load the original BIOS file you saved to the boot
disk. If the Flash Memory Writer utility is not able to successfully update a
complete BIOS file, the system may not boot. If this happens, call the ASUS
service center for support.

4.2 BIOS Setup Program
This motherboard supports a programmable EEPROM that you can update using
the provided utility described in 4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS.
The utility is used if you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system,
or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section describes how to configure your system
using this utility.
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, at some time in the future
you may want to change the configuration of your computer. For example, you
may want to enable the Security Password Feature or make changes to the power
management settings. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using
the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and
record them in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM.
The EEPROM on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the
computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. This
appears during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press <Delete> to call up the Setup
utility. If you are a little bit late in pressing the mentioned key, POST will continue
with its test routines, thus preventing you from calling up Setup. If you still need to
call Setup, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing
the Reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system
off and then back on again. But do so only if the first two methods fail.
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a
menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus
and make your selections among the predetermined choices.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key after the
computer has run through its POST.
NOTE: Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the
following BIOS setup screens and descriptions are for reference purposes
only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.

Instructions for Installing the eeE Driver for SCO OpenServer
1. Copy the eee.vol file to any directory, say /tmp, on the SCO system,
renaming the file as VOL.000.000. Also, make the file read-only by using
‘chmod’.
For example,
# cp eeE.vol /tmp/VOL.000.000
# chmod 444 /tmp/VOL.000.000
2. If there is an older version of the eeE driver on the system, you must first
remove it. To do this, run ‘netconfig’. Remove all instances of the “Intel ...”
adapters. Exit netconfig without opting to relink the kernel.
3. Install the new driver using ‘custom’. When asked for the installation media,
choose ‘media images’, and type the directory path to the VOL.000.000 file.
(In step 1, if you copied it to /tmp, type ‘/tmp’). After the installation of the
driver is complete, exit ‘custom’.
4. Run ‘netconfig’ and add the adapters. For each adapter that is present in the
system, enter the appropriate TCP/IP parameters. By default, the driver
automatically detects the line speed and duplex mode. If you want to force
any of these settings, choose ‘Advanced Options’ and set the speed and
duplex modes. Exit ‘netconfig’ and choose to relink the kernel.
