ASUS CUW-B User’s Manual 9

2. FEATURES

Performance

2. FEATURES

2.1.3 Performance

• UltraPerformance! Onboard IDE Bus Master controller with two connectors

that support four IDE devices in two channels. Supports UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/
33 (IDE DMA Mode 2), PIO Modes 3 & 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices,
such as Tape Backup, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, and LS-120 drives.

• Double or Quadruple the IDE T ransfer Speed! IDE transfers using UltraDMA/

33 Bus Master IDE can handle rates up to 33MB/s and up to 66MB/s using
UltraDMA/66 technology. The best of all is that these new technology is com­patible with existing ATA-2 IDE specifications so there is no need to upgrade
current IDE devices or cables.

• Concurrent PCI! Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-

ter buses to memory to CPU.

• SDRAM Optimized Performance! ASUS smart series motherboards support the

new generation memory , Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM),
which increases the data transfer rate to 800MB/s max using PC100-compliant
SDRAM.

• ACPI Ready! ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is also imple-

mented on all ASUS smart series motherboards. ACPI provides more Energy
Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM) functionality . W ith 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
98, must be used.

• Suspend and Go! Suspend-To-RAM (STR) provides maximum power savings

as an alternative to leaving the computer ON and QuickStart™ so that you do
not fall asleep waiting for system bootup. (STR requires OS support and does
not support ISA cards; ISA cards may fail to work coming out of STR mode.)

• New Compliancy! Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meet

PC’99 compliancy . The new PC’99 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 W indows 95/98/NT . Color­coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as required by
PC’99.

• Highest Audio Quality! AC’97 DAC/ADC built into the audio CODEC reduces

noise to improve audio quality and performance for a SNR (signal to noise ratio) o f
+90dB. These features greatly improve voice synthesis and recognition.

• Extreme Graphics! The integrated motion compensation allows for smooth

MPEG1 or MPEG2 video playback. Fast 3D graphics engine allows for an ex­citing gameplay experience.

2. FEATURES

2.1.4 Intelligence

• Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm! To prevent system overheat and system

damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM
and failure. All the fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.

• Temperature Monitoring and Alert! To prevent system overheat and system

damage, this motherboard supports Socket 370 processor thermal sensing and
auto-protection.

• Voltage Monitoring and Alert! System voltage levels are monitored to ensure

stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are
more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper
system configuration and management.

• System Resources Alert! T oday’s operating systems such as Windows 98, W in-

dows NT , and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present
enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource moni­tor will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent pos­sible application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on manag­ing their limited resources more efficiently.

Intelligence

2. FEATURES

• Dual Function Power Button! Through the BIOS, the power button can be

defined as the “Standby” (a.k.a. Suspend or Sleep) button or as the Soft-Off (see
ATX Power Switch Lead in 3.8 External Connectors for more information)
button. Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4
seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.

• Remote Ring On (requires modem)! This allows a computer to be turned on

remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on-hand, users
can access any information from their computers from anywhere in the world!

• Message LED (requires ACPI OS support)! Chassis LEDs now act as infor-

mation providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, the user can
determine the stage the computer is in. A simple glimpse provides useful infor­mation to the user.

• Peripheral Power Up! Keyboard and/or CIR power up can be enabled or dis-

abled through BIOS setup to allow the computer to be powered ON using your
keyboard and/or Consumer IR device.

3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure

Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:

• Check Motherboard Settings

• Install Memory Modules

• Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

• Install Expansion Cards

• Connect Ribbon Cables, Panel Wires, and Power Supply

3.4 Motherboard Settings

This section explains in detail how to change your motherboard’s function settings
through the use of switches and/or jumpers.

WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate

Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electric­ity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do
not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal
object, such as the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or con­nectors, or other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
component whenever the components are separated from the system.

8) CPU External Frequency Setting (DSW)

This option tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU, DRAM,
and the PCI bus. This allows the selection of the CPU’s External frequency . The
CPU External Frequency multiplied by the Frequency Multiple equals the CPU’s
Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed). NOTE: Y ou may set the memory
speed independently from the CPU External Frequency. Depending on your
memory type PC66 (66MHz) or PC100 (100MHz), select the appropriate
“SDRAM” speed along with the appropriate “CPU” speed.
IMPORTANT: Only 66MHz CPU and 100MHz SDRAM should be used on
this motherboard with current 66MHz Socket 370 processors. Other settings are
for experienced users only. When JumperFree mode is enabled, use BIOS setup
in place of these switches (see CPU Speed in 4.4 Advanced Menu). Only se­lected switches are illustrated, see the next page for a complete frequency listing.
NOTE: In JumperFree mode, all dip switches (DSW) must be set to OFF.

processor does not have a locked Frequency Multiple, you must use CPU
Core:Bus Freq. Multiple in 4.4 Advanced Menu of the BIOS setup to set the
Frequency Multiple. If the Frequency Multiple is locked, setting the Frequency
Multiple in BIOS setup will have no effect.

WARNING! CPU frequencies above 66MHz exceed the specifications for cur-

rent Celeron processors and are not guaranteed to be stable. For Coppermine pro­cessors, CPU frequencies other than the recommended bus frequencies are not
guaranteed to be stable. Premature wearing of the processor may result when
overclocking. Be sure that the DIMM you use can handle the specified SDRAM
MHz or else bootup will not be possible.

3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU that came with the mother­board should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case,
then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s

heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. W ithout sufficient
circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the
motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF
socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then
upwards to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown.
The notched corner (or corner with gold arrow) should point towards the end of the
lever. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will
only fit in the orientation as shown. The picture is for reference only; you should
have a CPU fan that covers the face of the CPU. W ith the added weight of the CPU
fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the
socket’s lever while holding down the CPU.

NOTE: Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (frequency
multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for your Socket 370 pro­cessor or else boot-up may not be possible. Socket 370 processors provide internal
thermal sensing so that a socket mounted thermal resistor is not needed.

CAUTION! Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting a clamp-

style processor fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard.

cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.

3.7.1 Expansion Card Installation Procedure

1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hard­ware or software settings for your expansion card, such as jumpers or switches.

2. Remove your computer system’s cover and the bracket plate with screw on the
slot you intend to use. Keep the bracket for possible future use.

3. Carefully align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

4. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.

5. Replace the computer system’s cover.

6. Set up the BIOS if necessary
(such as IRQ xx Used By ISA: Yes in PNP AND PCI SETUP)

7. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.

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 your
motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If your 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

Onboard Audio/AMR/SMBus -- shared -- -­Onboard VGA shared ---- -­USB -- -- -- shared

IMPORTANT: If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support
“Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise
between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable.

Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may require IRQs. System IRQs are available to
cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first, then any remaining IRQs are available
to PCI cards. Currently, there are two types of ISA cards.

The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as “Legacy” ISA cards,
requires that you configure the card’s jumpers manually and then install it in any
available slot on the ISA bus. To see a map of your used and free IRQs in Windows
98, the Control Panel icon in My Computer, contains a System icon, which gives
you a Device Manager tab. Double-clicking on a specific hardware device gives
you the Resources tab which shows the Interrupt number and address. Double-click
Computer to see all the interrupts and addresses for your system. Make sure that no
two devices use the same IRQ or your computer will experience problems when
those two devices are in use at the same time.

To simplify this process, this motherboard complies with the Plug and Play (PnP)
specification which was developed to allow automatic system configuration when­ever a PnP-compliant card is added to the system. For PnP cards, IRQs are assigned
automatically from those available.

If the system has both Legacy and PnP ISA cards installed, IRQs are assigned to
PNP cards from those not used by Legacy cards. The PCI and PNP configuration of
the BIOS setup utility can be used to indicate which IRQs are being used by Legacy
cards. For older Legacy cards that does not work with the BIOS, you can contact
your vendor for an ISA Configuration Utility.

An IRQ number is automatically assigned to PCI expansion cards after those used
by Legacy and PnP ISA cards. In the PCI bus design, the BIOS automatically as­signs an IRQ to a PCI slot that has a card in it that requires an IRQ. To install a PCI
card, you need to set something called the INT (interrupt) assignment. Since all the
PCI slots on this motherboard use an INTA #, be sure that the jumpers on your PCI
cards are set to INT A.

3.7.3 Assigning DMA Channels for ISA Cards

Some ISA cards, both legacy and PnP, may also need to use a DMA (Direct Memory
Access) channel. DMA assignments for this motherboard are handled the same way
as the IRQ assignment process described earlier . T o select a DMA channel, see PCI/
PNP ISA DMA Resour ce Exclusion in 4.4.3 PCI Configuration. NOTE: The on-
board audio by default uses DMA1.

IMPORTANT: To avoid conflicts, reserve the necessary IRQs and DMAs for

legacy ISA cards (see PCI/PNP ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion and PCI/PNP

DMA IRQ Resource Exclusion in 4.4.3 PCI Configuration). Choose Yes in
IRQ xx Used By ISA and DMA x Used By ISA for those IRQs and DMAs you

want to reserve).

at an incredibly low cost. There are two types of AMR, one defined as primary and
another defined as secondary. This motherboard uses the primary channel so that a
secondary AMR can coexist without the need to disable the onboard CODEC. The

These connectors support cooling fans of 350mA (4.2 Watts) or less. Orientate
the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard heat
sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the
wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while the
black should be ground. Connect the fan’s plug to the board taking into consid-
eration the polarity of the connector.

NOTE: The “Rotation” signal is to be used only by a specially designed fan with
rotation signal. The Rotations per Minute (RPM) can be monitored using ASUS
PC Probe Utility or Intel LDCM Utility (see 6. SOFTWARE REFERENCE).

WARNING! The CPU and/or motherboard will overheat if there is no airflow

across the CPU and onboard heatsinks. Damage may occur to the motherboard
and/or the CPU fan if these pins are incorrectly used. These are not jumpers,

do not place jumper caps over these pins.

mode, where system activity is decreased to save electricity and expand the life
of certain components when the system is not in use. This 2-pin connector con­nects to the case-mounted suspend switch. Wake-up can be controlled by set­tings in the BIOS but the keyboard will always allow wake-up (the SMI lead
cannot wake up the system).

27) Message LED Lead (2-pin TB LED)

This indicates whether a message has been received from a fax/modem. The
LED will remain lit when there is no signal and blink when there is data trans­fer or waiting in the inbox. This function requires ACPI OS and driver support.

28) ATX Power Supply Connector (20-pin block ATXPWR)

This connector connects to an ATX power supply. The plug from the power
supply will only insert in one orientation because of the different hole sizes.
Find the proper orientation and push down firmly making sure that the pins are
aligned.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that your ATX power supply can supply at least 10mA

on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). You may experience difficulty in power­ing ON your system if your power supply cannot support the load. For Wake­On-LAN support, your ATX power supply must supply at least 720mA +5VSB.

5.1 Operating Systems

Although ASUS motherboards passed testing on several operating systems, the op­erating system shown in these sections will be that of Microsoft’s Windows 98. Y ou
should always use the latest operating system and updates when using new hard­ware to ensure full compliancy . For W indows 95, you must use OSR 2.0 or later . For
Windows NT 4.0, you must use Service Pack 3.0 or later.

5.2 Starting Windows For the First Time

When you start Windows 98 for the first time after installing your motherboard,
Windows will detect all plug-and-play devices. You can either follow the Add New
Hardware Wizard to install the device drivers or click Cancel. When prompted to
restart, select No and then follow the normal setup procedures later in this section.

IMPORTANT: Selecting No for the initial restart prompt is a necessary step

because W indows may load an older display driver that is incompatible with the
integrated VGA. Always use the driver available on the ASUS Support CD or an
applicable driver update from your ASUS vendor or from the ASUS web site.

NOTE: Because there are various motherboard settings, options, and expansion
cards, the following can only be used as a general reference and not an exact reflec­tion of your system.
