2.1.2Performance

•Ultra Performance: Onboard Ultra160 dual channel SCSI controller with two connectors that support 30 Ultra160 SCSI devices in two channels.

•CPU Speed: CPU frequency operates at 133MHz

•High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: SCSI transfers using Ultra160 dualchannel SCSI controller can handle rates up to 160MB/s. Ultra160 is backward compatible with slower SCSI devices so that older SCSI devices are not wasted. (Ultra160 SCSI cables have twisted pairs compared to flat ribbon cables used in older SCSI standards.)

•Advanced 64-bit PCI: Maximizes IO bandwidth for the next generation of 64-bit PCI cards, supports four full 64-bit 66/33MHz PCI busses, and two 32-bit 33MHz PCI busses.

•Full Peer-to-Peer Support: Allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI busses and increases options for intelligent IO and Server Management cards.

•SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports interleaved PC133 “ registered” Synchronous Dynamic RandomAccess Memory (SDRAM) that supports a data transfer rate of up to 2128MB/s.

•ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is also implemented on all ASUS smart series motherboards. ACPI provides more Energy Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features implemented in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards. To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS, such as Windows 2000, must be used.

•New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meet the stringent requirements for SDG2.0 certification. The new SDG2.0 requirements for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: support for Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows NT/2000/XP. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as required by PC ‘99.

3.5System Memory

This motherboard uses interleaved PC133 Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Six DIMM sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) registered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB densities with Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC).

The motherboard supports system memory of up to 6GB in a two-way interleaved configuration. This configuration requires that you install identical DIMMs (exactly the same type and size) in pairs. For example, if you installed a 512MB module into DIMMA1, you must install the same type of 512MB module into DIMMB1. The same rule applies to pairs DIMMA2/DIMMB2 and DIMMA3/DIMMB3.

The following table lists the DIMM socket pairs and the memory modules you can install.

3.5.1 Memory Configurations

DIMM Socket	168-pin DIMM	Total Memory
DIMMB1	SDRAM 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB	x1

3.5.2Memory Installation

WARNING! Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and expansion cards (see 3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure for more information).

Insert a DIMM into the DIMM socket as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module only fits in one direction. SDRAM DIMMs have different pin contacts on each side.

IMPORTANT: Always install DIMMs in pairs. See previous section for the memory configurations.

Use only 3.3Volt “ registered” SDRAM DIMMs. To determine the DIMM type, check the notches on the DIMMs (see the figure below).

The notches on the DIMM shifts between left, center, or right to identify the type and also to prevent the wrong type from being inserted into the DIMM slot on the motherboard. You must tell your retailer the correct DIMM type before purchasing. This motherboard supports four clock signals per DIMM.

3.6.1Installing the CPU and Terminator

Follow these steps to install a CPU.

1.Locate the ZIF socket on the motherboard.

2.Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100° angle.

3.Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the socket.

4.Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

CAUTION! The CPU fits only in one orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU. If the CPU does not fit completely, check its orientation or check for bent pins.

5.When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the socket indicating that it is locked.

6.Install a CPU heatsink. Refer to the documentation that came with the heatsink.

7.Install the CPU terminator the same way as you would install a CPU. The figure on the right shows an installed CPU terminator.

CAUTION! DO NOT install a heatsink on the terminator! It will damage the motherboard!

3.7Expansion Slots

WARNING! Unplug the 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.

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The motherboard has four 3.3V 64-bit/66MHz PCI slots and two 5V 32-bit/33MHz PCI slots. The slots support PCI 2.2 protocol.

3.7.1 Expansion Card Installation Procedure

Follow these steps to install an expansion card.

1.Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2.Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).

3.Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later use.

4.Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot.

5.Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

6.Replace the system cover.

3.7.2 Configuring an Expansion Card

After physically installing the expansion card, configure the card by adjusting the software settings.

1.Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 4 for information on BIOS setup.

2.Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.

3.Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

.3 H/WConnectors SETUP

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)IDE Connectors (40-1 pin PRIMARY/SECONDARY)

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 IDE connector.
