Installation Steps

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

1. Set Jumpers on the Baseboard

2. Install DRAM Memory Modules

3. Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Card

4. Install Expansion Cards

5. Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power Supply

6. Setup the BIOS Software (see the CPU Card BIOS section)

1. Jumpers

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper
pins (JP) on the baseboard. See “Baseboard Layout” on page 10 for locations of
jumpers. The jumper settings will be described numerically such as [----], [1-2],

(Jumpers)

[2-3] for no connection, connect pins 1&2, and connect pins 2&3 respectively. Pin
1 for our baseboards is usually on top
baseboard with the keyboard connector away from yourself. A “1” is written be-

sides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. The jumpers will also be shown graphically
such as
two pins will be shown as for short (On) and for open (Off). For manu­facturing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing pins from other groups. Use the
diagrams in this manual instead of following the pin layout on the board. Settings
with two jumper numbers require that both jumpers be moved together . To connect
the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins as diagramed.

WARNING! Computer motherboards, baseboards and components, such as SCSI

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.

Jumper Settings

1. i960 Bridge Setting

The secondary PCI slots can function as standard PCI slots when the i960 is set
to “Bridge” mode. When the i960 is set to “I2O” mode, the secondary PCI slots
are controlled by the i960 and only intelligent I/O (I2O) cards can be used on the
secondary PCI slots. Additional memory is required for the “I2O” mode.

2. i960 Local DRAM RAS Setting

When the i960 is set to I20, the i960 chip acts as a processor and at least one
SIMM memory module is required. When using a single memory module, this
jumper does not need setting. When using two memory modules, this jumper
needs to be set according to the number of sides used by the chips mounted on
the memory modules.

2. System Memory (DRAM)

This baseboard supports eight 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of
4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB to form a memory size between 8MB to
1GB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (Asymmetric or
Symmetric), Extended Data Output (EDO), or Burst Extended Data Output (BEDO)
(with C-P6ND only). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each bank contains
two of the same size memory modules. To support ECC, you must use true (op­posed to phantom parity generated by TTL chips) 36-bit parity-type SIMM (e.g. 8
chips + 4 parity chips) in pairs for all modules. Mixing 32-bit non-parity SIMM
(e.g. 8 chips) and 36-bit SIMM (e.g. 12 chips) will work minus the ECC feature.

IMPORTANT: Memory setup is required in “Auto Configuration” in the
CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP of the BIOS software. Each bank must have
the same size memory installed in pairs.

Install memory in any or all of the banks in any combination as follows:

Bank Memory Module Total Memory

Bank 0 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128MB x2
SIMM Slots 1&2 72-pin FPM, EDO, BEDO SIMM

NOTE: Memory on socket 1 has a clearance of 5.0 cm when the C-PKND and
C-P6ND CPU cards are installed and 5.5 cm when the C-P55T2D CPU card is installed.

IMPORT ANT : Each bank must have the same size memory installed in pairs. Do not
use memory modules with more than 24 chips per module. Modules with more than 24
chips exceed the design specifications of the memory subsystem and will be unstable.

i960 Local DRAM: The i960 requires 4MB to 256MB (16MB recommended)
memory using one or two EDO DRAM modules when 960SEL jumper is set to
“I2O.” The i960 does not requir e memory in the “Bridge” mode. Use i960 SIMM
socket 1 when using only one module. The i960 does not support parity or ECC.

DRAM Memory Installation Procedures

IMPORTANT: Install memory modules in symmetric pairs.

1. The SIMM memory modules will only fit in one orientation as shown because
of a “Plastic Safety Tab” on one end of the SIMM slots which requires the

III. INSTALLATION

One end of the CPU card has a bracket, which should slide into the system case front
panel. Be sure that the system case can support a long PCI card on the first slot and
that a groove is available for the bracket. Refer to your respective CPU card’ s docu­mentation for details.

General Installation Procedures for the ASUS CPU Card:

1. Remove the CPU card from its packaging without touching the integrated circuit
(IC) chips, connectors, and other components. Place it onto the antistatic bag.

2. Follow instructions in the CPU card manual on installing the processor/s, sup­port bracket, and setting jumpers.

3. Remove the expansion slot cover for the first slot.

4. Carefully align the CPU card over the CPU Card Slot (CPU SLOT A and CPU
SLOT B).

5. Be sure that the card is perpendicular to the baseboard. Firmly press one end of
the card halfway in, the other end halfway in, then the first end completely in,
and finally, the second end completely in. Be sure that all the connectors are
evenly inserted into the slots.

6. Screw in the metal bracket to the system case.

WARNING! Move the system carefully and only with the power off because

the CPU card is heavy as well as delicate.

(CPU Card)

III. INSTALLATION

NOTE: The BIOS on the CPU cards are different. When adding a CPU card, find
the BIOS chip that came with the CPU card and replace it with the one on the base­board, if one is present.

ASUS P/I-P65UP8 User’s Manual 21

4. Expansion Cards

First read your expansion card documentation on any hardware and software set­tings that may be required to set up your specific card.

WARNING! Unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion

cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
both your baseboard and expansion cards.

Expansion Card Installation Procedure

1. Read the documentation for your expansion card.

2. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card.

3. Remove your computer system’s cover.

4. Remove the bracket on the slot you intend to use. Keep the bracket for possible

(such as IRQ xx Used By ISA: Yes in PNP AND PCI SETUP)

Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards

IMPORTANT: Interrupt requests are shared as shown by the following table:

INT-A INT-B INT-C INT-D

PCI slot 1 shared -- -- -­PCI slot 2 -- shared -- -­PCI slot 3 -- -- shared -­Onboard VGA -- -- shared -­7880 SCSI -- shared -- -­i960 processor -- -- -- shared
2nd-PCI slot 1 -- -- -- shared
2nd-PCI slot 2 shared -- -- -­2nd-PCI slot 3 -- -- -- -­2nd-PCI slot 4 -- -- -- -­Symbios SCSI shared ch.2 -- -- shared ch.1

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.

22 ASUS P/I-P65UP8 User’s Manual

III. INSTALLATION

Some expansion cards need to use 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.

Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may require to use 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. You may use Microsoft Diagnostics (MSD.EXE) utility located in the Win­dows directory to see a map of your used and free IRQs. If you use W indows 95, the
Resources tab under Device Manager displays the resource settings being used by
a particular device (to gain access, double-click the System icon under the Control
Panel program). Ensure that no two devices share the same IRQs or your computer
will experience problems when those two devices are in use at the same time.

T o simplify this process, the baseboard 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 section
of the BIOS setup utility can be used to assign which IRQs are being used by legacy
cards. For older legacy cards that do not work with the BIOS, you may 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 contains a card requiring an IRQ. T o install a PCI card, you
need to set the INT (interrupt) assignment. Since all the PCI slots on this baseboard
use an INTA #, set the jumpers on your PCI cards to INT A.

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 baseboard are handled the same way as
the IRQ assignment process described earlier . You can select a DMA channel in the
PCI and PnP configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility.

(DMA Channels)

III. INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: T o avoid conflicts, reserve the necessary IRQs and DMAs for legacy
ISA cards (under PNP AND PCI SETUP of the BIOS SOFTWARE, choose Yes in
IRQ xx Used By ISA and DMA x Used By ISA for those IRQs and DMAs you want to
reserve).
