Introduction

AthlonTM Processors

The AMD AthlonTM is a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integrated L2 cache, which is powerful enough to support the bandwidth requirements of a large range of applications, hardware, graphics, and memory technologies. These processors implement advanced design techniques such as:

Socket A (PGA 462)

 200/266/333/400MHz system interface based on the Alpha EV6 bus protocol.

Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined Multimedia Units.

Three out-of-order, superscaler, pipelined Integer Units.

Fixed-sized internal instruction formats (MacroOPs).

72-entry Instruction Control Units.

AMD enhanced 3DNow! technology

L1 and L2 caches.

Dynamic branch prediction.

Socket A is the name for AMDs new socketed interface designed to support AMD AthlonTM processors. This innovation is made possible by integrating the L2 cache memory on chip with the processor. Socket A will help enable smaller enclosures, and ultimately result in a wider variety of solutions in the market.

The AthlonTM processors in the Socket A format continue to deliver the ultimate performance for cutting-edge applications. They bring to desktop systems running industry-standard x86 software superscalar RISC performance. Being provided in the Socket A format they are the worlds most powerful x86 processors. They easily deliver the highest integer, floating-point, and 3D multimedia performance for applications running on x86 platforms around.

It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200/266/333/400MHz front side system bus, and enhanced 3DNow! technology. The AMD AthlonTM processor is targeted at the performance segment, and as such will have more cache memory and higher clock speeds.

Introduction

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)

The AGP slot on the board is compliant with the new AGP 3.0 specification. This new specification enhances the functionality of the original AGP specification by allowing 8X data transfers ( 8 data samples per clock) resulting in maximum bandwidth of 2.1GB/s. In addition, it defines 1.5 volt power supply operation. Complying with this specification, this board supports external AGP-8X/4X cards with Fast Write Transactions. Only 1.5V AGP cards are supported.

Ultra ATA/66/100/133

This mainboard provides two independent ATA133 IDE controllers, supporting standard programmable input/output (PIO) and Direct Memory Access (DMA) mode operations, as well as UltraDMA-133/100/66/33 standards for a maximum data transfer rate of 133MB/sec per channel.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.

LAN (Optional)

This mainboard is optionally mounted with a LAN chipset. It allows the mainboard to connect to a local area network by means of a network hub.

Serial ATA

The evolutionary serial ATA interface replaces the standard parallel ATA physical storage interface. The serial ATA specification provides scalability and allows future enhancements to the computing platform. Serial technology overcomes performance limits of parallel interface architecture, meeting the escalating need for faster data throughput in servers and storage devices.

Serial ATA is completely software compatible with parallel ATA, requiring no modification to your operating system. The serial ATA interface cable requires lower voltages and uses smaller cable connectors, providing ease of installation. You can easily upgrade storage devices that are compatible with the serial ATA interface specification.

Page 1-3

Introduction

IEEE1394 (Optional)

IEEE 1394 is a high-speed serial bus developed by Apple that allows users to connect up to 63 devices to the serial bus on a PC. IEEE is sometimes called the IEEE 1394 standard, the i.Link connector, FireWire, and the High Performance Serial Bus (HPSB).

IEEE 1394 provides transfer rates up to 400Mbits/sec. IEEE 1394 provides enhanced PC connectivity for consumer electronics audio/video (A/V) appliances, storage peripherals, portable devices such as digital cameras, and inter-PC communications. IEEE 1394 supports hot swapping, multiple speeds on the same bus, and isochronous data transfer providing much needed bandwidth for multimedia operations.

Page 1-4

Introduction

Mainboard Form-Factor

This board is designed with ATX form factor - the latest industry standard for chassis design. The ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick, modem, LAN, audio, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.

 By integrating more I/O down onto the board and better positioning the hard

drive and floppy connectors, material cost of cables and add-in cards are reduced.

 By reducing the number of cables and components in the system, manufac-

turing time and inventory holding costs are reduced and reliability will increase.

 By using an optimized power supply, it's possible to reduce cooling costs

and lower acoustical noise. An ATX power supply, which has a sidemounted fan, allows direct cooling of the processor and add-in cards making a secondary fan or active heatsink unnecessary in most system applications.

Power-On/Off (Remote)

This board has a 20-pin ATX power supply connector (Figure 4). For power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the mainboard front panel PW_ON connector for the computer power On/Off button. This board has been designed with Soft Off" function. You can turn off the system in two ways: by pressing the front panel power On/Off button or using the "Soft Off" function that can be controlled by an operating system such as Windows®XP/ ME/2000/98.

Note: For maintaining the DDR SDRAM power during STR (ACPI S3) function, it is

strongly recommended to use power supplies that have a +5VSB current of (> =) 2A. Please check the 5VSBs specification printed on the power supplys outer case.

Note: The board requires a minimum of 250 Watt power supply to operate. Your

system configuration (amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed this minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, use a 300 Watt (or higher) power supply.

3-6 STR (Suspend To RAM) Function

This mainboard supports the STR (Suspend To RAM) power management scheme by maintaining the appropriate power states in the DDR SDRAM interface signals. The power source to the DDR SDRAM is kept active during STR (ACPI S3). Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides many Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support Instant ON and QuickStartTM function.

1. To enable STR functionality to save system power : a. Install ACPI certified add-on cards (such as AGP, LAN, and modem cards). b. In BIOS, under Power Management Setup (refer to Section 4), select ACPI

Suspend Type: S3(STR) and USB Port Wake Up Control (if you have a

USB mouse or keyboard device). c. Install Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE. d. Restart the system. e. Open the Control Panel Power Management application, and click the

Advanced tab. In the Power buttons section, select Stand By from the

drop-down lists.

2. To activate the STR function, click the START button and choose Shut Down. In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, select the Stand By option to enter STR mode.

The following are the differences between STR power saving mode and Green (or Suspend) mode:

a. STR is the most advanced Power Management mode. b. STR cuts all the power supplied to peripherals except to memory - max. power

saving.

c. STR saves and keeps all on-screen data including any executed applications

to DDR SDRAM.

d. In STR mode, you must push the power button (connected to the onboard PW-

On of CFP pin), click your USB mouse buttons, or press your USB keyboard keys to wake up your system to the last display.

3-7 CPU Overheating Protection

This mainboard is equipped with CPU Overheating Protection. It will automatically remove power to shutdown the system when CPU temperature reaches approximately 110°C. This is to prevent long term damage to the CPU from overheating. When this happens, the speaker produces a sustained beep sound and the system will not be able to power on. This protection is designed through hardware and no BIOS setup is required.

To power on your system again,

Step 1: Unplug the ATX power cord (or turn off the ATX power supply

switch)

Step 2: Wait a few minutes for the CPU to cool.

Step 3: Check that the CPU heatsink and cooling fan assembly is properly

installed. Be careful when touching the heatsink as it may be hot.

Step 4: Plug back the ATX power cord (or turn on the ATX power supply

switch) and power -on the system.

If the beeping sound persists, repeat Step 1 to remove the power source.

Note: The CPU Overheating Protection will function only if the CPU

is designed with an internal thermal diode. AMD Athlon XP or later CPUs is equipped with internal thermal diode.

BIOS SETUP

Main Menu

The ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user to modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data is stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added. It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail causing CMOS data loss. If this happens you will need install a new CMOS battery and reconfigure your BIOS settings.

supervisor password : can enter and change the options of the setup menus. user password : just can only enter but do not have the right to change the

options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password. To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration. Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer. You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to System, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to Setup, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

How to Reinstall Windows in 2 Minutes

This chapter guides you how to setup your computer properly and, if necessary, reinstall Windows in 2 minutes. Ghost provides different

methods to complete this task. The following two sections explain how to create an emergency Recover Floppy and Recover CD:

Emergency Recover Floppy

Divide a hard disk into two partitions. The first partition is to store the operating system and application programs. The second partition is to back up the operating system and data. The size of the partition can be determined according to the backup requirements. For example, the Windows operating system needs 200MB of hard disk space, Plus complete Office programs require 360MB. The remaining space can be used to store data.

After installing Windows, use Ghost to create a backup area for the system and to store the file (Image file) in drive D. The file is named Original.gho. Then, create a recover floppy disk containing:

Bootable files (Command.com, Io.sys, and MSDOS.SYS )

Config.sys (configuration setup file)

Autoexec.bat (auto-execution batch file)

Ghost.exe (Ghost execution file)

There are two ways to create the content of the recover floppy for restoring:

(1)To load Windows automatically after booting, store the Autoexec.

bat file with a command line: Ghost.exe clone, mode=pload, src=d:\original.gho:2,dst=1:1 -fx -sure -rb Command Description: Runs the restore function automatically with

the Image File. Stored in drive D. After execution, it will exit Ghost and boots the system.

Refer to the [Introducing Ghosts Functions] for details.

D-8

Appendix

(2) After booting, the screen displays the Menu. Select Backup or Restore:

Since the user may install other applications in the future, he/she may alter Autoexec.bat file to back up or restore the user-defined Image file as follows:

BackupBackup

)

))

Back up Windows and application programs as a file (Recent. gho). Command is:

Ghost clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=d:\Recent.gho -fx sure -rb

RestoreRestore

Restore

RestoreRestore

))

)

))

Restore types include [General Windows] and [Windows and Application Programs]. If you select [General Windows],

the system is restored to the general Windows operation condition. The command is:

Ghost.exe -clone,mode=pload,src=d:\Original.gho,dst=1:1 -fx

-sure -rb If you select [Windows and Application Programs], the latest

backup file (Recent.gho) is restored, skipping the installation and setup of application programs.

For description of related parameters, refer to [Introducing Ghosts Functions].

For more information about menu design, refer to Config.sys and Autoexec.bat under /Menu in the CD. You can also create a backup CD containing Ghost.exe and these two files.

D-9

Appendix

Recover CD

The following is a simple guide to create a recover CD:

1. First, create a recover floppy disk contains the following with any copy program such as Easy CD Create (Note 2) :

Bootable files (Command.com and Io.sys and MSDOS.SYS) Config.sys (Configuration setup file) Autoexec.bat (Auto-execution batch file) Mscdex.exe (CD-Rom execution file) Ghost.exe (Ghost execution file) Oakcdrom.sys (ATAPI CD-ROM compatible driver)

The content of Config.sys is:

DEVICE=Oakcdrom.sys /d:idecd001

The content of Autoexec.bat includes:

MSCDEX.EXE /D:IDECD001 /L:Z Ghost.exe clone,mode=load,src=z:\original.gho,dst=1 -sure -rb

2. Write the backup image file (original.gho) of the entire hard disk or partition into the recover CD. Use the Recover CD to boot up the system and restore the backup files automatically.

For description of related parameters, refer to [Introducing Ghosts Functions].

Note: For more details about copy the creation program and method to create a

recover CD, please refer to the releated software and its associated operating manual.

Note: Ghost may be executed in interactive or in batch mode. Most of the Ghost

switches are used to assist in batch mode operation. To list switches, type ghost.exe -h.
