Chapter 2: Hardware information

2.5 System memory

2.5.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with six Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 12GB
system memory using 184-pin registered PC2100/1600 DDR DIMMs with
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC).

80 Pins104 Pins

PR-DLSR533

®

PR-DLSR533 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.

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.

ASUS PR-DLSR533 motherboard user guide

2-7

2.5.2 Memory Configurations

The motherboard supports system memory of up to 12GB in a two-way
interleaved or non-interleaved configuration. The two-way interleaved
configuration requires that you install identical DDR DIMMs (exactly the
same type and size) in pairs. For example, if you installed a 512MB
module into DDR1, you must install the same type of 512MB module into
DDR2. The same rule applies to pairs DDR3/DDR4 and DDR5/DDR6.

The non-interleaved configuration allows you to install one DIMM into
DDR1 socket (the socket closest to the ATX power connector). Installing a
single DIMM into any other socket does not work.

The following table lists the DIMM socket pairs and the memory modules
that you can install.

Memory configuration table

DIMM Socket 184-pin registered DDR DIMM Total Memory

The system chipset only supports PC2100/1600 registered DIMMs.
Make sure to use only the specified DIMM types for stable system
operation.

2.6 Expansion slots

This motherboard has a proprietary expansion slot that accommodates a
dual slot riser card. The riser card implements the PCI-X (Peripheral
Component Interconnect Extended) bus technology to support up to 133MHz
data transfers, or about 1.06GB/s. This bus technology is primarily designed
for servers to increase the performance of high bandwidth devices such as
Gigabit Ethernet cards and Ultra3 SCSI interfaces. PCI-X is backward
compatible with the earlier PCI bus technology making it possible to install
PCI and PCI-X cards at the same time, but the bus speed will be that of the
slowest card.

Installing a card into one of the slots allows for 133MHz bus speed.
Installing two cards reduces the bus speeds to 100MHz for both cards.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.

2.6.1 Installing an expansion card

Follow these steps to install an expansion card.

1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that
came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2. Remove system cover and detach the riser card module from the
expansion slot.

3. Install the expansion card into one of the PCI-X slots on the riser card.

4. Re-install the riser card into the system.

5. Replace the system cover.

Refer to the AP1600R system user guide for details on expansion card
installation.

2-10

Chapter 2: Hardware information

2.6.2 Configuring an expansion card

After installing the expansion card, configure the it by adjusting the
software settings.

1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any.

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 (firmware hub)
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.

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.

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 firmware hub that you can
update using the provided utility described in section
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 firmware hub.

The firmware hub 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.

“

4.1 Managing and

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,

4.6 Boot Menu

The motherboard BIOS supports the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS)
version 1.01. BBS is an intelligent mechanism that provides flexible ways
to set boot sequence for Initial Program Load (IPL) devices such as
CD-ROMs, network remote boot ROM, and SCSI or RAID controllers on
PnP cards.

The IPL devices are classified into three categories:

1. BIOS Aware IPL Devices (BAID)

2. PnP devices, includes Boot Connection Vector (BCV) and Bootstrap
Entry Vector (BEV) devices

3. Legacy devices

1st Boot : (BAID) [<0> Floppy]

This field allows you to select a BIOS Aware IPL Devices (BAID) to boot
from. A BAID is any device that can boot on an operating system but
requires a specific BIOS code for support. Bootable FDDs, ATA HDD,
ATAPI CD-ROM, ATA ZIP, and ATA MO drives are classified as BAID. The
drives present in the system will appear as options for this field.

2nd Boot : (BCV) [None]

This field allows you to select a Boot Connection Vector (BCV) device to
boot from. BCV devices include SCSI controllers or SCSI cards, RAID
cards, and other devices on add-on cards with option ROM that hooks INT

5.1 Microsoft® Windows® NT Server 4.0

5.1.1 LSI® SCSI Driver Installation

Windows NT 4.0 do not have drivers for the new SCSI controllers, you
must load the driver manually prior to Windows NT 4.0 installation.

A. Preparing an LSI Driver Disk

Copy all the files and subdirectory under the WINNT subdirectory to the
root directory of a clean floppy disk. Use this LSI driver disk during
installation, or use the self-extracting image files for Windows NT drivers.

The SYMMPI.SYS executable driver is in the support CD at:

\Drivers\SCSI\Fusion-MP\Windows\1.08.22\WinNT\WinNT.exe

B. New System Installation

This procedure installs the SYMMPI.SYS driver onto a Windows NT
system. Use this procedure when installing Windows NT onto an unused
SCSI drive. Windows NT automatically adds the driver to the registry and
copies the driver to the appropriate directory. There are two methods 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 disks.

B1. CD-ROM Installation

1. Start the Windows NT installation by booting from the Windows NT
CD-ROM. The system BIOS must support booting from a CD-ROM.
LSI BIOS settings may need to be changed to allow CD-ROM booting
when using SCSI-interface CD-ROM drive.

2. When the screen displays “Windows NT Setup”, immediately press

the F6 key. This must be done or else the new driver installed from
the LSI driver disk will not be recognized.

Even if you did not press F6, you are still allowed to load additional
drivers later in the installation process. However, any drivers loaded
during Windows NT Setup are not immediately recognized and no
devices controlled by that driver are available during Windows NT
Setup.
