3.7.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally , an IRQ must be exclusively
assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them
are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If the motherboard has PCI
audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If the motherboard also has MIDI
enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.

The following table lists the default IRQ assignments for standard PC devices. Use this
table when configuring your system and for resolving IRQ conflicts.

SCSI Connection Notes

This motherboard has two 68-Pin Ultra160 SCSI connectors; one for each of the
two channels.

The onboard SCSI chipset incorporates an advanced multimode I/O cell that supports
both single-ended (SE), Ultra2, and Ultra160 devices. With Ultra160 devices, the
SCSI bus platform performs at full Ultra160 speeds (up to 160MB/sec) and extended
cabling 12m (or 25m in a point-to-point configuration). When an SE device is
attached, the bus defaults to an SE speed and 1.5m cable length.

IMPORTANT: Connect SCSI devices as shown. Each channel should have only
one type of SCSI standard (e.g. Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra-Wide). Mixing SCSI devices
on the same channel decreases performance of the slower device.

4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS

4.1.1 Upon First Use of the Computer System

It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS
along with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable
floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later . AFLASH.EXE is a
Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new
BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file
works only in DOS mode. To determine the BIOS version of your
motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper
left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a
newer BIOS file.

1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system
disk. DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk.

2. Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your
CD-ROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created.
NOTE: AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS

prompt within Windows and does not work with certain memory drivers
that may be loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended
that you reboot using a floppy disk.

3. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk.

NOTE: BIOS setup must specify “Floppy” as the first item in the boot
sequence.

4. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH.

IMPORTANT! If the word “unknown” appears after Flash Memory:, the

memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS
and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

4.2 BIOS Setup Program

This motherboard supports a programmable EEPROM that you can update using
the provided utility described in 4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS.

The utility is used if you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system,
or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section describes how to configure your system
using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, at some time in the future
you may want to change the configuration of your computer. For example, you
may want to enable the Security Password Feature or make changes to the power
management settings. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using
the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and
record them in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM.

The EEPROM on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the
computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. This
appears during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press <Delete> to call up the Setup
utility . If you are a little bit late in pressing the mentioned key, POST will continue
with its test routines, thus preventing you from calling up Setup. If you still need to
call Setup, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing
the Reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system
off and then back on again. But do so only if the first two methods fail.

The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a
menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus
and make your selections among the predetermined choices.

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key after
the computer has run through its POST.

NOTE: Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated,
the following BIOS setup screens and descriptions are for reference
purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your
screen.

1. Microsoft Windows NT Server

I. LSI SCSI Driver Installation

LSI Logic and Microsoft together provided miniport drivers, “SYM_HI.SYS” (for
SYM53C896) and “LSI_U3.SYS” (for SYM53C1010). The SCSI chipset used on

your motherboard will depend on the model you purchased. The following sections
describe how to prepare and install the SCSI drivers. Since W indows NT 4.0 do not
have drivers for such new SCSI controllers, the user must load the driver manually
prior to Windows NT 4.0 installation.

A. Preparing a LSI Driver Diskette

The drivers are located on the ASUS Driver Support CD at:

\SDMS\DRIVERS\WINNT\XXXXX\I386\WINNT\MINIPORT

where XXXXX represents the specific Windows NT subdirectory. For example, the
SYM_HI.SYS driver is located in the WINNTHI subdirectory. Copy the I386 and
MINIPORT subdirectories to the root directory of a clean floppy diskette. Use this
driver diskette during W indows NT installation. (-or -) Use the self-extracting image
files for Windows NT drivers.

The SYM_HI.SYS executable driver is located on the ASUS Driver Support CD at:

\SDMS\DISKIMAG\NT_HI

The LSI_U3.SYS executable driver is located on the ASUS Driver Support CD at:

\SDMS\DISKIMAG\NT_U3

B. New System Installation

This procedure installs the SYM_HI.SYS or LSI_U3.SYS driver onto a Windows
NT system. Use this procedure when installing Windows NT onto an unused SCSI
drive. W indows NT automatically adds the driver to the registry and copies the driver
to the appropriate directory. There are two method to install the Windows NT sys­tem. One is installed by booting from NT CD Disc; the other is by booting from NT
three installation floppy diskettes.
