Manual for SynactiX 2EP
ESD(Electrostatic discharge) Protection:
This mainboard provides a very high level of protection for sensitive electronic compo-
nents that may be subjected to electrostatic discharge(ESD), especially for I/O ports such
as PS2 connectors or USB port. The ESD components that complies with IED61000-4-2
(level 4) (up to 25kv) and MIL STD883C-Method 3015-6 Class-3 are populated on the
mainboard to prevent the system from resetting or hanging even serious damaging by
static electricity.
BIOS-ProtectEasy
The BIOS of the mainboard is inside the FWH. Some severe viruses such as CIH virus are
so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the mainboard. If the BIOS has been
damaged, the system will be unable to boot. We provide the following solution which
protects the system BIOS from being attacked by such viruses.
Here are two choices to implement this function,
1.
Set the jumper (JAV) as closed, the BIOS can not be overwritten and the DMI informa-
tion can not be updated either.
2. Set the jumper (JAV) as open, meanwhile set “Flash Write Protect” as Enabled in
AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup. In this way, the BIOS can not be overwritten, but the DMI
information can be updated.
Refer to page 16 for detailed information on jumper setting, and page 28 for related
BIOS setting.
Suspend to RAM
Suspend to RAM is a cost-effective, optimal implementation of the Advanced Configura-
tion and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.0 specification, which makes a PC’s power consump-
tion drop to the lowest possible level and enables quick wakeup. When the system is in
Suspend-to-RAM status, the system context is maintained in system memory, the system
consumes only a small fraction of the power used for full operation. Instead of shutting
down the system when not in use and then having to reboot later, Suspend-to-RAM
solution enables the system to save power and to quickly wake up, restoring all applica-
tions and features, enabling operation in a few seconds.
To implement this function, the following requirments are essential:
1. Power supply requirements: The current of 5VSB line of the power supply should be
more than 0.72A.
2. The BIOS option “ACPI function” should be enabled, and “ACPI Suspend Type” should
be set as S3 in AWARD BIOS CMOS setup. Refer to page 30 for detailed information.
3. An ACPI-enabled operating system such as Windows 98 or Windows 2000 family is
needed. Set the “ACPI Function” as “Enabled” in “Power Management Setup” of BIOS.
Navigate to the CD-ROM drive from the MS-DOS Command Prompt and enter the
following from the Win98 directory on the CD:
D:\SETUP /P J
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device driver letter is D:)
Windows 98 will be installed with ACPI enabled.
