Chapter 1 Hardware Specifications and
Supported Features
Overview
The AMI Olympus III motherboard utilizes the Intel 875P chipset. It offers support for
the latest Intel processors, including 800FSB, 8x AGP, Performance Acceleration
Technology (PAT), Hyper Threading technology, Dual-Channel DDR 400/333 SDRAM
memory with ECC Support, dual Parallel ATA, dual Serial ATA-150 RAID, Gigabit
LAN, and USB 2.0.
One of the biggest features of the Olympus III motherboard is its integration of the
onboard Gigabit Ethernet controller. The Gigabit Ethernet controller connects directly to
the Intel 875P chipset via a dedicated Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA) bus.
In the Olympus II motherboard, the onboard Ethernet controller connected to the south
bridge chipset via the PCI bus. The CSA bus is 64 bits wide, while the PCI bus is only 32
bits wide. Theoretically, the CSA bus has twice the bandwidth of a PCI bus. This
overcomes the bandwidth limitation found when running off of the PCI bus.
With all these features the Olympus III motherboard is the perfect fit for server
appliances such as, Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Mail/Web servers.

Step 1 Unpack the Motherboard
Step Action
1 Inspect the cardboard carton for obvious damage. If damaged, call 770-246-8600. Leave the motherboard in
its original packing.
2 Perform all unpacking and installation procedures on a ground-connected anti-static mat. Wear an anti-static
wristband grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat. Or use a sheet of conductive aluminum foil
grounded through a 1-megohm resistor instead of the anti-static mat. Similarly, a strip of conductive
aluminum foil wrapped around the wrist and grounded through a 1 megaohm resistor serves the same
purpose as the wristband.
3 Inside the carton, the motherboard is packed in an anti-static bag, and sandwiched between sheets of
packaging sponge. Remove the sponge and the anti-static bag. Place the motherboard on a grounded
anti-static surface component side up. Save the original packing material.
4 Inspect the motherboard for damage. Do not apply power to the motherboard if it has been damaged.
5 If the motherboard is undamaged, it is ready to be installed.
Avoid Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) will damage the motherboard and other system
components. Keep the motherboard in the anti-static bag until it is to be installed.
Wear an anti-static wrist-grounding strap before handling the motherboard. Make sure
you stand on an anti-static mat when handling the motherboard.
Avoid contact with any component or connector on any adapter card, printed circuit
board, or memory module. Handle these components by the mounting bracket.

Set Jumpers
Set all jumpers and install the CPU before placing the motherboard in the chassis.
JP10 Clear CMOS
JP10 is a 3-pin berg that can be used to erase the contents of CMOS RAM, where all
system configuration information is stored.
Before you change JP10 from the default setting (1-2), turn off the power supply using
the mechanical switch (not the soft-off power button.) This switch is normally located on
the power supply. If there is no switch, remove the AC cord going to the power supplies.

6 Remove the shorting bridge from pins 2-3 of JP10.
7 Put the shorting bridge back on pins 1-2 of JP10.
8 Turn on computer power again.
Since you drained power from CMOS RAM, all system configuration information
has been erased. You must now re-enter the system configuration information by
running AMIBIOS Setup.
You must then reboot the computer, run AMIBIOS Setup, and restore all system
configuration information. The JP10 settings are:

• DIMM modules can be plugged into any slot (or combination of slots)
• 2.5 V 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs
• Double-sided DIMMs with 16 chips are not supported
• A maximum of 4 GB of total system memory
• A minimum of 64 MB of total system memory
• ECC and non-ECC DIMMs supported
• Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
• DDR400 and DDR333 SDRAM DIMMs
Channel A (CHA), DIMM 0
Channel A (CHA), DIMM 1
Channel B (CHB), DIMM 0
Channel B (CHB), DIMM 1
The following table lists the supported FSB and memory speed combinations.
To use: the FSB must be:
DDR400 800 MHz
DDR333 800 MHz or 533 MHz
Note: It is advisable to populate the Olympus III motherboard with DIMMs that support the
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the AMIBIOS to read the SPD

The power supply should match the physical configuration of the chassis. Make sure the
power switch is Off before assembly.
Before attaching all components, make sure the proper voltage has been selected. Power
supplies often can run on a wide range of voltages and must be set (usually via a switch)
to the proper range. Use at least a 300-watt ATX power supply, which should have builtin filters to suppress radiated emissions. Power supply voltage depends upon system load.
For example, +12V rating should be matched to the amount of the external load.
Attach the cables from the power supply to the power connector(s) on the motherboard.
ATX-compatible power supplies can have either one or two 20-pin (or 24-pin)
connectors. You can use either one or both power connectors.

PCI IRQ Routing Table
This section describes interrupt sharing and how the interrupt signals are connected
between the PCI bus connectors and onboard PCI devices. The PCI specification
specifies how interrupts can be shared between devices attached to the PCI bus. In most
cases, the small amount of latency added by interrupt sharing does not affect the
operation or throughput of the devices. In some special cases where maximum
performance is needed from a device, a PCI device should not share an interrupt with
other PCI devices. Use the following information to avoid sharing an interrupt with a PCI
add-in card.
PCI devices are categorized as follows to specify their interrupt grouping:
• INTA: By default, all expansion boards that require only one interrupt are in this
category. For almost all expansion boards that require more than one interrupt,
the first interrupt on the expansion board is also classified as INTA.
• INTB: Generally, the second interrupt on expansion boards that require two or
more interrupts is classified as INTB. (This is not an absolute requirement.)
• INTC and INTD: Generally, a third interrupt on expansion boards is classified
as INTC and a fourth interrupt is classified as INTD.
The ICH has eight programmable interrupt request (PIRQ) input signals. All PCI
interrupt sources either onboard or from a PCI expansion board connect to one of these
PIRQ signals. Some PCI interrupt sources are electrically tied together on the Olympus
III motherboard and therefore share the same interrupt. The following table shows an
example of how the PIRQ signals are routed.

Step 6 Install Expansion Boards, Continued
PCI IRQ Routing Table, Continued
For example, using the following table as a reference, assume an expansion card using
INTA is plugged into PCI slot 2. In PCI slot 2, INTA is connected to PIRQB, which is
already connected to the ICH audio controller. The expansion board in PCI slot 2 now
shares an interrupt with the onboard interrupt source.

INTA
4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15). Typically, a device that does not share a PIRQ line
will have a unique interrupt. However, in certain interrupt-constrained situations, it is
possible for two or more of the PIRQ lines to be connected to the same IRQ signal.

Step 7 Connecting External Cables
Only the back panel I/O connectors of the motherboard have
overcurrent protection. The internal motherboard connectors are not
overcurrent protected, and should connect only to devices inside the
system chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Do not use
these connectors for powering devices external to the system chassis.
A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause
damage to the system, the interconnecting cable, and the external
devices themselves.

Chapter 3 AMIBIOS Setup
Overview
In PCI servers, the system parameters (such as amount of memory, type of disk drives
and video displays, and many other elements) are stored in CMOS RAM. Unlike the
system memory that is used for standard system memory, CMOS RAM requires very
little power. When the server is powered off, a back-up battery provides power to CMOS
RAM that retains the system parameters. Every time the server is powered on, the server
is configured with the values stored in CMOS RAM by the system BIOS, which gains
control when the server is powered on.
The system parameters are configured by a system BIOS Setup utility. Historically, BIOS
setup utilities have been character-based, required keyboard input, and have had user
interfaces that were not very intuitive. The BIOS chips acts as an interface between the
processor and the rest of the server board’s components. This chapter describes the
parameters in the AMIBIOS Setup Utility and explains how to modify the settings for the
configuration of your Olympus III motherboard.
Caution
The default settings are sufficient for most system operations. Changes to the default settings can affect
the performance/reliability/stability of your Olympus III motherboard.

MPS Revision
The AMIBIOS Setup allows you to select whether to use Multi-Processor Specification
(MPS) 1.1 or 1.4. The MPS is a specification by which PC manufacturers design and
build Intel architecture (IA) systems with two or more processors.
MPS version 1.4 added extended configuration tables to improve support for multiple
PCI bus configurations and improve future expandability. Most newer versions of server
operating systems support MPS 1.4 and, as such, you should not change the BIOS Setup
default of 1.4 to 1.1 if your operating system supports the 1.4 version.
Check with the vendor of your operating system to find out which version to use if you
are unsure. Some operating systems may require version 1.1 for compatibility reasons.
Option Description
1.4 This option allows the BIOS to use MultiProcessor Specification version 1.4. This is the default
setting.
1.1 This option allows the BIOS to use MultiProcessor Specification version 1.1.
