Hi, I am trying to locate a manual for a Triton F motherboard BIOS is a AMI HiFlex BIOS I believe the bios id is as followed: 51-0000-001223-00111111-101094-Triton-F I'm having a hard time locating it. I can not use the id utility to identify the motherboard exactly because the cmos battery is low. I need the manual to locate the jumpers so that I can put a (9V looking) cmos battery on the motherboard. I did not find it on www.motherboards.org or AMI.com ...??? Please Help Me Out. thanks

can you locate the model number somewhere on the board?

Are you referring to a Dallas realtime clock battery? Black rectangular? About the size of a 9v? They're fairly expensive if you can even find one...probably about $25. You need to know the model number to find your manual. I did a quick search & it may be a BioStar 8500TAC.

thanks for the responses... I did not see a model number, serial nothing... All I've got to go on is the chipset and the bios id. Yes, that the name for it (Dallas realtime clock batter). I've already got one... I just need to know where to put it on this motherboard. I've looked and from what I can see, the motherboard does not seem to indicate where to hook this battery on the motherboard. :O)

You already have a battery? Then just pull the old one & replace it with the new one...or isn't there one on it? Check this Biostar board out & see if it's the same as your's...the battery is to the left in the picture, between the upper ISA slot & lower PCI slot. http://th2chips.freeservers.com/8500tac/

Sorry, my board doesn't have a regular cmos battery (I need one of those 9v battery looking ones) They are suppose to just hook on to the motherboard via some jumpers. But like I said I don't know where to hook it up at on the motherboard. :O)

"what we have here is, failure to communicate"....Winston Churchill, as quoted by Guns n Roses (Civil War) Reread response #2, 3 & 4. I asked if it was a Dallas realtime clock battery...you said yes, "I've already got one". Then I told you where it goes on the motherboard & that you may have to remove the old one 1st. If the one on your board has already been removed, look for a rectangular socket between the uppermost ISA slot & the lower PCI slot, next to the BIOS chip. I can't explain myself any better. I also posted a site that shows a picture of your motherboard! That's the best I can do...I can't understand why you can't find it?? Maybe it says "ODIN" on the old battery instead of "DALLAS" & that's throwing you off???
