  • Page 20 5) Safe Mode Setting (SAFE_MD) Usually socket 370 processors have locked frequency multiples. In this case, there is no way to exceed the specified multiple whether through motherboard settings or BIOS setup. With unlocked socket 370 processors, exceeding the specified multiple is possible through BIOS setup. Exceeding the specified mul- tiple may result in hanging during bootup.
  • Page 21 3. HARDWARE SETUP 6) Automatic Timeout Reboot Setting (NO_REBOOT) The motherboard is set so that when the BIOS detects a hang (timeout) during bootup, the motherboard will automatically reboot. If rebooting is repeating in- effectively, set this jumper to No Reboot to disable auto-reboot.
  • Page 22 NOTE: In JumperFree mode, all DIP switches (DSW) must be set to OFF. CUW-RM ® CUW-RM CPU External Clock Frequency Selection NOTE: Frequency Multiple settings are not available here because usually Socket 370 processors have locked Frequency Multiples. If your Socket 370 processor does not have a locked Frequency Multiple, you must use CPU Core:Bus Freq.

    3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU that came with the mother- board should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.
  • Page 27: Expansion Cards

    Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. 3.7.1 Expansion Card Installation Procedure 1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hard- ware or software settings for your expansion card, such as jumpers or switches.
  • Page 28: Assigning Irqs For Expansion Cards

    6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If your motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If your moth- erboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.
  • Page 29: Interrupt Request Table

    If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable. ASUS CUW-RM User’s Manual INT-A INT-B...
  • Page 30: Audio Modem Riser (Amr) Slot

    3.7.3 Audio Modem Riser (AMR) Slot This connector supports a specially designed audio and/or modem card called an AMR. Main processing is done through software and controlled by the motherboard’s Intel I/ O Controller Hub (ICH). This provides an upgradeable audio and/or modem solution at an incredibly low cost.
  • Page 31: External Connectors

    Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are clearly distinguished from jumpers in 3.1 Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard. IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the connectors.
  • Page 32 One serial port is ready for a mouse or other serial devices. A second serial port is available using a serial port bracket connected from the motherboard to an expansion slot opening. See Onboard Serial Port 1 in 4.2.2 I/O Device Con- figuration for settings.

    4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS 4.1.1 Upon First Use of the Computer System It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS along with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in 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.
  • Page 46: Updating Bios Procedures

    BIOS revision will solve your problems. Care- less updating can result in your motherboard having more problems! 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 disk you created earlier.
