1.3.2 Value-added solutions

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC to prevent
overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is
monitored for timely failure detection. The system voltage levels are
monitored to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.

Dual function power switch

While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 seconds
puts the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS
setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the
system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.

Remote Ring In

This feature allows the system to wake up remotely through an internal or
external modem, if present.

Wake-Up support

The motherboard includes Wake-On-Ring, Wake-On-LAN, and BIOS
Wake-Up features.

Server management

The motherboard comes with an ASMC connector that supports the
optional ASMC-HE card to comply with server reliability, availability, and
serviceability requirements. Remote management response via remote
diagnostics and troubleshooting still works even when the operating
system has stopped functioning.

ACPI ready

saving features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM).

Concurrent PCI

This feature allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master buses to the
memory and processor.

1-4

Chapter 1: Product introduction

Auto fan off

The system fans power off automatically when the system is in sleep
mode. This feature reduces both power consumption and system noise.

Chassis intrusion detection

The motherboard supports chassis intrusion monitoring through the ASUS
ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is retained in battery backup memory for
more protection.

Smart BIOS

The 4Mbit firmware gives an easy-to-use interface that provides more
control and protection to the motherboard. The BIOS has a boot block
write protection and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection, and is
Year 2000 certified.

Compliance

Both the BIOS and the hardware levels of the motherboard meet the
stringent requirements for SDG 2.0 certification. The new SDG 2.0
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, 32-bit
device drivers, and installation procedures for Windows NT/2000/XP.
Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as
required by the PC ‘99 specification.

2.3 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to
a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

3. Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.

5. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the

ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is
detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause

severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or
components.

Chapter 2: Hardware information

2.4.2 Installing the CPU

0

Follow these steps to install a CPU:

1. Locate the Socket 478 and open it by
pulling the lever gently sideways away
from the socket. Then lift the lever
upwards. The socket lever must be fully
opened (90 to 100 degrees).

2. Insert the CPU with the correct
orientation. The gold arrow of the CPU
must be oriented toward the inner corner
of the socket base nearest to the hinge
of the lever handle.

Gold Arrow

90 -10

The CPU fits in one orientation and should drop easily into place. Do not force
the CPU into the socket to avoid bending the pins. If the CPU does not fit,
check its alignment and look for bent pins.

3. Once completely inserted, press the CPU firmly and close the socket lever until
it snaps into its locked position.

4. Install an Intel fan heatsink.

5. Place the CPU fan and heatsink on the CPU. The heatsink should entirely cover
the CPU. Carefully attach the heatsink locking brace to the plastic clips on the
socket base. W ith the added weight of the CPU fan and heatsink locking brace,
no extra force is required to keep the CPU in place

ASUS NRL-LS533 motherboard user guide

2-5

Take care not to scrape the motherboard surface when mounting a clamp-style
processor fan, or else damage may occur . When mounting a heatsink onto your
CPU, make sure that exposed CPU capacitors do not touch the heatsink, or damage
may occur!

Do not neglect to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (frequency multiple
setting is available only on unlocked processors) for your Socket 478 processor
or else boot-up may not be possible. Socket 478 processors provide internal
thermal sensing: a socket mounted thermal resistor is not needed.

2.4.3 Installing the heatsink and fan

The Intel® Pentium4™ 478 Processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan
assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

When you buy a boxed Intel Pentium 4™ 478 Processor, the package includes
the heatsink, fan, and retention mechanism.

In case you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel certified
heatsink and fan.

Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink and fan.

1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the heatsink fits
properly on the retention module base.

The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard upon purchase.
You do not have to remove the retention module base when installing the CPU
or installing other motherboard components.

Your boxed Intel Pentium 4™ 478 Processor package should come with
installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention mechanism. If
the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the
latter.

2-6

Chapter 2: Hardware information

2. Position the fan with the retention mechanism on top of the heatsink. Align and
snap the four clasps on the retention mechanism over the holes on each corner of
the module base.

Make sure that the fan and retention mechanism assembly perfectly fits the
heatsink and module base, otherwise you cannot snap the hooks into the holes.

Retention Lock Lever

Keep the retention lock levers lifted upward while fitting the retention mechanism
to the module base.

2.5 System memory

2.5.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 4GB
system memory using 184-pin registered PC2100/1600 DIMMs with Serial
Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC).

NRL-LS/533

®

NRL-LS/533 184-Pin DDR DIMM Sockets

A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction.
DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

104 Pins

80 Pins

The DDR SDRAM technology evolved from the mainstream PC66, PC100,
PC133 memory known as Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM. DDR memory
however, has the ability to perform two data operations in one clock cycle,
thus providing twice the throughput of SDR memory. For example, a
200MHz DDR DIMM will support a 100MHz memory bus, and a 266MHz
DDR DIMM will support a 133MHz memory bus.

DDR Data Transfer Rate DDR Base Frequency

266MHz 133MHz
200MHz 100MHz

A DDR DIMM has the same physical dimensions as an SDR DIMM, but it
has a 184-pin footprint compared to the 168-pin of the SDR DIMM. Also, a
DDR DIMM is single notched while an SDR DIMM is double notched.
Therefore, a DDR DIMM is not backward compatible with SDR, and should
be installed only in a socket specially designed for DDR DIMMs.

This connector supports the provided UltraDMA/100/66 IDE hard disk
ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary
(recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray
connector to the UltraDMA/100/66 slave device (hard disk drive) and
the black connector to the UltraDMA/100/66 master device. It is
recommended that you connect non-UltraDMA/100/66 devices to the
secondary IDE connector. 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. If you have more than
two UltraDMA/100/66 devices, purchase another UltraDMA/100/66
cable. You may configure two hard disks to be both master devices
with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and
another for the secondary IDE connector.

1. Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered
hole on the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect
orientation when you connect the cables.

2. The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA/100/66 cable is
intentional.

SCSI Connection Notes

This motherboard has one 68-Pin Ultra160 SCSI connectors.
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/s) 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.

Connect SCSI devices as shown. The channel should have only one
type of SCSI standard (e.g. Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra-Wide). Mixing SCSI
devices on the same channel decreases maximum performance on
that channel to that of the slowest device.

a. Monitor
b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. System power (if you are using an ATX power supply , you need to

switch on the power supply as well as press the ATX power switch on
the front of the chassis).

6. After applying power, the power LED on the system front panel case lights
up. For ATX power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the
ATX power switch. If your monitor complies with “green” standards or if it
has a “power standby” feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch
between orange and green after the system LED turns on. The system
then runs the power-on tests. While the tests are running, the BIOS beeps
or additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything
within 30 seconds from the time you turned on the power , the system may
have failed a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or
call your retailer for assistance.

4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS

4.1.1 Creating a bootable disk

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.

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.

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

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

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.

5. Select 1. Save Current BIOS to File from the Main menu and press
<Enter>. The Save Current BIOS To File screen appears.

6. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX, then
press <Enter>.

4-2

Chapter 4: BIOS Setup

4.1.2 Updating the BIOS

Update the BIOS only if you have problems with the motherboard and
you are sure that the new BIOS revision will solve your problems.
Careless updating may result to more problems with the motherboard!

1. Download an updated ASUS BIOS file from the Internet (WWW or
FTP) (see ASUS CONTACT INFORMATION on page x for details) and
save to the boot floppy disk you created earlier.

2. Boot from the floppy disk.

3. At the “A:\” prompt, type AFLASH and then press <Enter>.

4. At the Main Menu, type 2 then press <Enter>. The Update BIOS
Including Boot Block and ESCD screen appears.

5. Type the filename of your new BIOS and the path, for example,
A:\XXX-XX.XXX, then press <Enter>.

To cancel this operation, press <Enter>.

6. When prompted to confirm the BIOS update, press Y to start the
update.

ASUS NRL-LS533 motherboard user guide

4-3

7. The utility starts to program the new BIOS information into the Flash
ROM. The boot block is updated automatically only when necessary.
This minimizes the possibility of boot problems in case of update
failures. When the programming is done, the message “Flashed
Successfully” appears.

8. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.

4-4

If you encounter problems while updating the new BIOS, DO NOT turn
off the system because this may cause boot problems. Just repeat the
process, and if the problem persists, load the original BIOS file you
saved to the boot disk. If the Flash Memory Writer utility is not able to
successfully update a complete BIOS file, the system may not boot. If
this happens, call the ASUS service center for support.

Chapter 4: BIOS Setup

4.2 BIOS Setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable Flash ROM that you can
update using the provided utility described in section “4.1 Managing and
updating your BIOS.”

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard,
reconfiguring your system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section
explains how to configure your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you may want to
change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you
may want to enable the security password feature or make changes to the
power management settings. This requires you 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 Flash ROM.

The Flash ROM on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you
start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run
this program. Press <Delete> during the Power-On Self Test (POST) to
enter the Setup utility, otherwise, POST continues with its test routines.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, 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.
Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is 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.

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.
