Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?

1. Boot fail because of overclocking…

2. Forget password…

3. Troubleshooting…

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To

clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.

1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.

2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.

3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.

4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 & pin 2.

5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

JP12 Onboard Audio jumpe

Pin 1

This motherboard has AC’97 sound onboard. JP12 is used to enable or disable onboard AD1885 CODEC

chip. If you don’t want to enable the Onboard Audio, you should set this jumper to 2-3, and disable the

“OnChip Sound” from BIOS setting > Advanced Chipset Features, before you install your preferred PCI

Sound Card.

Setting CPU Core Voltage

This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically

detected and the range is from 1.05V to 1.825V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core Voltage

Setting CPU Frequency

This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the BIOS

setup, no jumpers or switches are needed.

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to

90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a

(golden) cut edge on the CPU upper interface.

Match Pin 1 and cut edge. Then insert the

CPU into the socket.

3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish

CPU installation.

Note: If you do not match the CPU socke

Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it ma

damage the CPU.

you are not overclockers, we recommend set the jumper at the default setting.

Connect 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy connector FDC and

If the housing has been designed with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be able to

connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove

the jumper cap from the Front Audio Connector before you connect the cable. Do no

remove this yellow jumper cap if housing without an audio port on the front panel.

VIA Apollo Pro 133T chipset includes a fast Ethernet controller on chip. On the strength of

LSI 80225 PHY on board, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it

provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use, the Ethernet RJ45 connector is

located on top of USB connectors. The green LED indicates the link mode, it lights when

linking to network and blinking when transferring data. The orange LED indicates the

transfer mode, it will light when transferring data in 100Mbps mode.

13. Installing LAN Driver (Optional)

The South Bridge in VIA Apollo 133T chipset integrates a total communication solution including

10/100Mb Fast Ethernet for Office requirement. You can install LAN Driver under Windows

95/98/ME, WindowsNT4 & Windows2000 by following steps.

Manually Adding an Adapter in Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT4 / 2000:

=====================================

LOCATION OF DRIVER: \Driver\LAN\RTL8100\Windows\

(Depend on various Windows version in your system.)

1. From the Control Panel, double-click the “Add Hardware” icon.

2. Double-click Other Devices or Network Adapters in the list area.

3. Double-click a PCI Ethernet Controller.

4. Click the Driver tab, then click Update Driver.

5. Click Next at the Update Device Driver Wizard.

6. Select "Display a list of all the drivers..." and click Next.

7. Insert the AOpen Bonus CD and click Have Disk.

8. Enter the appropriate drive for your disc media

(for example: D:\) ,and click OK.

9. Click OK at the Select Device dialog box.

10. The Update Wizard displays the message that it has found

the driver. Click Next.

11. Click Finish and restart your computer when prompted.

Note: If the New Hardware

Found dialog box does no

appear at startup and yo

cannot connect to the network,

check the Device Manager lis

to see if the new adapter i

resent. If it is not, please instal

the LAN driver manually.

After you finish the setting of jumpers and connect correct cables. Power on

and enter the BIOS Setup, press <Del> during POST (Power On Self Test).

Choose "Load Setup Defaults" for recommended optimal performance.

14. Power-on and Load BIOS Setup

15. AOpen Bonus Pack CD

17. BIOS Upgrade

AOpen Easy Flash is more user friendly than traditional flash method. The BIOS binary

file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a single file to complete

the flash process.

1. Download new BIOS upgrade zipped file from AOpen's web site. For example,

DX34RU102.ZIP.

2. Run shareware PKUNZIP (http://www.pkware.com/

) which supports

miscellaneous operation systems to extract the binary BIOS file and the flash

utility. Or Winzip (http://www.winzip.com/

) in Windows environment.

3. Save the unzipped file into a bootable floppy disk.

For example, DX34RU102.BIN & DX34RU102.EXE

4. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as

EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space.

5. Execute A:> DX34RU102 and the program will do the rest of it.

DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS until you are asked to!!

6. Reboot system and press <Del> to enter BIOS Setup, Choose "Load Setup

Defaults", then “Save & Exit Setup” and finish the BIOS upgrade.

Warning: The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace your original BIO

content after flashing. The original BIOS setting and Win95/Win98 PnP information

will be refreshed and

This motherboard comes with AD 1885 AC97 CODEC chip, you can find the audio driver

from the Bonus Pack CD autorun menu.

If you encounter any trouble to boot you system, follow the

procedures accordingly to resolve the problem.

Part Number and Serial Number

The Part Number and Serial number are printed on bar code label. You can find this ba

code label on the outside packing, on ISA/CPU slot or on component side of PCB. Fo

example:

Model name and BIOS version

DX34R-U R1.00 Feb. 04. 2001 AOpen Inc.

Award Plug and Play BIOS Extension v1.0A

Model name and BIOS version can be found on upper left corner of first boot screen

(POST screen). For example:

DX34R-U is model name of motherboard, R1.00 is BIOS version.

Make sure if the jumper settings for CPU and DRAMs are correct.

Clear CMOS.

Install the VGA card. Then connect your monitor and keyboard.

The problem was probably caused

by power supply or motherboard

failure. Please contact your reselle

or local distributor for repairing.

Perhaps your VGA card or monito

is defective.

Yes

It is very possible that your keyboard

is defective.

During system rebooting, press Del to enter BIOS Setup. Choose

“Load Setup Default".

The problem should be caused by the

IDE cables or HDD itself.

Re-install Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT.

Yes

Turn off the power and unplug the AC power cable, then remove all

of the addon cards and cables, including VGA, IDE, FDD, COM1,

COM2 and Printer.

Turn on the power, and check if

the power supply and CPU fan

work properly.

Start

Check if there is display.

Press Ctrl, and Alt key at the

same time, hold them and then

press Del to see if the

stem reboots.

Turn off the system and

re-connect the IDE cable.

Check if the system can

reboot successfully.
