IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN

This section provides an overview for the MicroATX Pentium II based PCI/ISA Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA) code-named "IN440EX-D-D". It describes functional blocks and their relationship. The following diagram

shows the functional blocks

1.1. Overview

The IN440EX-D-D is an implementation of BCM Advanced Research for a High-Volume MicroATX motherboard featuring these subsystems:

§ Intel Pentium™ II MMX Processor cartridge support through the SLOT 1

connector

§ Intel 82440EX PCIset: 82443EX (“PAC” PCI A.G.P. Controller) and

82371SB (“PIIX4” PCI-ISA-IDE Xcelerator)

§ Accelerated Graphics Port “AGP” connector

§ PCI IDE Bus Master interface

§ Embedded advanced I/O support

§ System Management Logic

§ Advanced multiple Audio interface

§ USB (Universal Serial Bus)

§ System Monitoring Hardware

§ MicroATX form-factor motherboard

The targeted Operating Systems for the IN440EX-D-D are: Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT.

1.1.1. Processor Subsystem

The IN440EX-D has provisions to support the following processors: Intel Pentium™ II Processor with MMX™ technology (Deschutes) operating at 333/66, 300/66, 266/66 and 233/66, Celeron at 366/66, 400/66 and 433/66 MHz. The Processor speeds are selectable with a four, (4) jumper block combination for the bus-to-core frequency ratio and CPU bus speed. The bus-to-core ratio is either 2/7, 1/4, 2/9 or 1/5 yielding the bus/core frequency; 66/233, 66/266, 66/300, 66/333, 66/366, 66/400 or 66/433 MHz respectively.

High-performance features, including pipelined 32-bit addressing, 64-bit data, 16KB/16KB Instruction/Data Write-back or Write-through 2-way set

Page 16

INTRODUCTION

associative primary cache. 0KB/512KB Write-back direct mapped secondary cache on the CPU Cartridge using a Back-Side-Bus (BSB). Two (2) Memory DIMM for support of SDRAM.

Two onboard DC/DC converters supply the +2.5 Volts for the CPU I/O voltage and the +1.5 Volts GTL+ bus voltage (VTT). An on-board switching power converter supplies the CPU core voltage (VCORE), the switcher supports the Pentium II Voltage-ID pins for auto-voltage programming of the switcher supply.

1.1.2. Cache Subsystem

The cache and control functions are part of the Pentium II Processor. The cache SRAM interface is through the processor’s Back-Side-Bus (BSB) and is included within the CPU cartridge.

The IN440EX-D can accept either the Pentium II cartridge with 512KB of second level (L2) Pipelined Burst SRAM cache. The Pentium II second level cache supports a direct mapped organization with a write-back policy, providing all necessary snoop functions and inquire cycles. Cacheability of the entire memory space in the first level cache is supported. For the second level cache only the first 512MB of main memory is cacheable, and only main memory controlled by the PAC DRAM interface will be cached, PCI and ISA memory is not cached.

1.1.3. Memory Subsystem

The IN440EX-D DRAM controller supports a 64-bit memory data interface, optionally supporting 64-bit wide DIMM modules, without ECC/EC. The DRAM types supported are Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM). SDRAM is supported at 66 MHz using symmetrical addressing.

The IN440EX-D Main Memory interface provides two (2) 168-pin DIMM socket (DIMM0 and DIMM1) sites, allowing system memory from 8MB to 256MB of SDRAM.

The DIMM sockets support either single or double-sided ‘Unbuffered DIMM’ modules. The installed DRAM type can be 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB or 128MB DIMMs. The DRAM Controller uses the JEDEC standard Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Mechanism to detect memory and array configurations, there is no jumper settings required for the memory size. Memory is automatically detected by the system BIOS.

Rules for Populating the DIMM memory array

Page 17

INTRODUCTION

§ DIMM sockets can be populated in any order.

§ The DRAM Timing register, which provides the DRAM speed grade

control for the entire memory array, will be programmed to use the timings of the slowest DRAMs installed.

1.1.4. Data Integrity Subsystem

Several data integrity features are included in the system. These are 64-bit DRAM interface for EX chipset, parity generation and checking on the PCI Bus and A.G.P. (for PCI transactions).

PCI Bus.

The system implements parity generation/checking as defined by the PCI specification.

A.G.P. Bus.

For the operations on the A.G.P. interface using PCI protocol, the system supports Parity generation/checking as defined by the PCI specification.

Main Memory DRAM Protection Modes.

The system supports three modes of data protection of the DRAM array: Non-ECC with Byte-Wise Write Support (Default mode, in this mode there is no provision for protecting the integrity of data in the DRAM array.)

1.1.5. A.G.P. Interface

The A.G.P. is a high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphics applications and is based on a set of performance enhancements to PCI. The IN440EX-D is designed to support the A.G.P. Interface.

The A.G.P. implementation is compatible with the Accelerated Graphics Port Specification. The system supports only a synchronous A.G.P. interface coupling to the host bus frequency. The actual bandwidth will be limited by the capability of the system’s memory, reaching the highest performance with fast SDRAM. The A.G.P. Interface supports PCI operations as defined by the PCI specification. Electrically, only 66MHz PCI operations are supported.

For the definition of A.G.P. Interface functionality (protocols, rules and signalling mechanisms, as well as the platform aspect of A.G.P. functionality), refer to the latest A.G.P. Interface Specification. This

Page 18

INTRODUCTION

document focuses only on the Controller specifics of the A.G.P. interface functionality.

1.1.6. Embedded PCI Devices

The PCI bus contains 1 embedded PCI device: PCI bus mastering IDE interface. The arbiter within the PAC performs arbitration for PCI bus masters.

1.1.7. PCI Bus Master IDE

PIIX-4 provides an integrated Bus Mastering IDE controller with two high performance IDE interfaces for up to four devices, such as Hard Drives and CD-ROM.

1.1.8. PCI Add-in Cards

High Performance PCI I/O cards can be used in the IN440EX-D through the PCI connector slots. The PCI bus is specified to support 10 loads. Each embedded controller or bridge (Video, PCI to ISA Bridge) count as 1 load, each PCI expansion slot used counts as 2 loads. To support multiple PCI devices in a single slot, add an expansion board containing PCI to PCI Bridge to a secondary PCI segment.

1.1.9. Embedded A.G.P. Devices

The AGP bus contains 1 embedded device: The ATI 3D Rage Pro Turbo 2X Graphics Accelerator. The 3D Rage Pro is a highly integrated graphics controller, integrating the 2D, 3D and video accelerators, palette DAC and quadruple clock synthesiser.

1.1.10. Embedded I/O Subsystem

The Winbond Plug and Play Ultra I/O controller “W83977TF” represents the newest technology in functionality and integration. While providing the standard PC I/O requirements the Ultra I/O complies with the ISA Plug-andPlay standard version 1.0a, and provides for the recommended functionality to support Windows 95. The Ultra I/O qualifies 16-bit address to allow relocation of 480 different addresses, with 13 IRQ options and 3 DMA channels available for each logical device.

Page 19

INTRODUCTION

Other features of the Ultra I/O are: 8042 keyboard controller. An Infrared interface for Fast IR (FIR), IrDA and ASKIR. Floppy interface. Two serial ports with 16-byte FIFOs. One EPP/ECP supported bi-directional parallel port.

1.1.11. System Management Subsystem

The IN440EX-D support the System Monitor services using Winbond’s W83781D System Management chip. The W83781D is used to monitor Voltage, Temperature and Fan Speed. The combination of the System Monitor and the Wake On LAN (WOL) functionality achieves the Management Level 3.

1.1.12. Advanced Configuration and Power Interface “ACPI”

The IN440EX-D supports the ACPI specification and its key elements; The Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM). ACPI evolves the existing collection of power management BIOS code, APM APIs, PNP BIOS APIs, and so on into a well-specified power management and configuration mechanism. It provides support for an orderly transition from existing (legacy) hardware to ACPI hardware, and it allows for both mechanisms to exist in a single machine and be used as needed. ACPI evolves the existing motherboard configuration interfaces to support these advanced architectures in a more robust, and potentially more efficient manner.

OSPM provides a new appliance interface to customers. In particular, it provides for a sleep button. This sleep button is a “soft” button, which does not turn the machine physically off but signals the OS to go into a ‘soft off’ or sleeping state. ACPI defines two types of these “soft” buttons: one for putting the machine into sleep mode and one for putting the machine into ‘soft off’ mode.

This gives the OEM two different ways to implement machines: A one or a two-button model. The button on the one-button model can be used as a power button or a sleep button as determined by user settings. The twobutton model has an easily accessible sleep button and a separate power button. In either model, an override feature that forces the machine to turn off or to reset without OS consent is also needed to deal with various rare, but problematic, situations.

Page 20

INTRODUCTION

ACPI is neither a software nor a hardware specification, although it addresses both software and hardware and how they must behave. ACPI is actually an interface specification.

2.5. Video Subsystem

3D RAGE PRO Graphics Controller is a highly integrated graphics controller. Incorporated within this single chip are the 2D, 3D and video accelerators, palette DAC, and quadruple clock synthesiser. This multi-function integrated controller delivers superior 3D performance, TV-quality scaled video optimized for MPEG playback, industry-leading Mach64 2D performance, and video expansion capability suited for video conferencing, cable TV viewing, and hardware MPEG decoding.

The availability of ATI BIOS, drivers, utilities, and application software developed for the entire chip family is a major strength for the 3D RAGE PRO. Being register-compatible with all other controllers in the Mach64 accelerator series means immediate compatibility with a wide range of application drivers. Since this controller is also pin-compatible with ATI's family of other mach64 integrated controllers, it provides to the OEM a lowcost upgrade path to additional features and performance.

This controller uses active power management techniques to monitor activity levels within its’ self and to perform real-time power reductions such as dynamic clock control and graphics engine shutdown. Because full-speed operation can be restored without delay, these techniques do not impact performance. Major advances have been included in this chip to boost performance in the area of a new bus interface, Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). With AGP data the throughput between host and 3D RAGE PRO has greatly increased. The result is even faster 2D and 3D performance and enhancements to motion video support (e.g. MPEG-2 motion compensation).

4.3.2. Input Power Budget

The +5V current available reflects the rating of the power connector. The Power itself may deliver more so the system integrator must be sure that the total load does not exceed the system power supply or board power connector rating, whichever is less. The rating of the ISA slots is 4.5A per slot. The ISA specification recommends supporting an average of 3.0A per slot. The average current consumption may not exceed 3A per slot. The system integrator must also guarantee that worst-case power consumption does not exceed the maximum allowed by the motherboard power connector.

BIOS SETUP

55..

BBIIOOSS SSEETTUUPP

The IN440EX-D motherboard uses AWARD BIOS, which is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be upgraded by a floppy disk-based program. The BIIOS has a built-in Setup Program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration settings. The settings are then stored in a dedicated batterybacked memory, called CMMOS RAM that retains the information when the power is turned off. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for the system’s central processing, memory and I/O subsystems. The AWARD BIOS has been customized by adding important, nonstandard, features such as virus and password protection, power management, and detailed finetuning of the chipset which controls the system. The remainder of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using the BIOS Setup.

5.1. How To Enter BIOS Setup

The AWARD BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST). When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seek an operation system on the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands over control of system operation to it.

To start Setup, press the <Del> key during boot-up before or while a message similar to this appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during POST (Power On Self Test):

Press DEL if you want to enter SETUP If the above message disappears before you have responded and you still

wish to enter Setup, reboot the system to try again by pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.

Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP

5.1.2. Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press Esc or the F1 key again.

5.1.3. In Case of Problems

If after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default configuration.

The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset screen without a good reason. BCM Advanced Research Inc. or your system manufacturer for the best performance and reliability has carefully chosen the Chipset defaults. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup may cause the system to become unstable.

BIOS SETUP

The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives.

NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives. The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating

mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications during POST, every time the system boots.

If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type are available: Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45.

Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field. Use the IDE HDD AUTO DECTECTION function in Setup. Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:

Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads, write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors, Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any pre-defined type are classified as type USER.

Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking program.

Cyls: Number of cylinders Head: Number of herds Precomp: Write precompensation cylinder Landz: Landing zone Sector: Number of sectors Mode: Auto, Normal, large, or LBA Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode. Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors supported are

5.3.7. Memory

You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only for your information. The fields show the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory, RAM is counted in kilobytes (KB: approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes (MB: approximately one million bytes).

RAM is the computer’s working memory, where the computer stores programs and data currently being used, so they are accessible to the CPU. Modern personal computers may contain up to 64MB, 128MB, or more.

Base Memory

Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS operating system and conventional applications use this area.

Extended Memory

Above the 1-MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could not use memory above 1 MB, but current PCs and their software can use extended memory.

Other Memory

Between 640 KB and 1 MB; often called High memory. DOS may load terminate-and-

stay-resident (TSR) programs, such as device drivers, in this area, to free as much conventional memory as possible for applications. Lines in your CONFIG.SYS file that start with LOADHIGH load programs into high memory

Total memory

System total memory is the sum of base memory, extended memory, and other memory.

POST does not stop for a keyboard or disk error, but

stops for all other errors.

5.4.1. Virus Warning

When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an anti-virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive.

NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus-warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first disable the virus warning.

5.4.2. Quick Power On Self Test

Select Enabled allows system to shorten or skip certain checks during the Power On Self Test(POST). The system will boot more quickly.

5.4.3. Boot Sequence

The original IBM PCs loaded the DOS operating system from drive A (floppy disk), so IBM PC-compatible systems are designed to search for an operating system first on drive A, and then on drive C (hard disk). However,

Page 54

BIOS SETUP

the BIOS now offers 10 different boot sequences options of three drive each. In addition to the traditional drives A and C, options include IDE hard drives D, E, and F; plus a SCSI hard drive and a CD-ROM drive.

5.4.4. Swap Floppy Drive

This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting Enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B. or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720 KN<

1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track

5.4.5. Boot Up Floppy Seek

When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40 floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time.

5.4.6. Boot Up NumLock Status

Toggle between On or off to control the state of the NumLock key when the system boots. When toggled on, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations.

5.4.7. Typematic Rate Setting

When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your system. When Enabled, you can select a typematic a\rate and typematic delay.

5.4.8. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at which character repeats when you hold down a key) of 6,8,10,12,15,20,24, or 30 characters per second.

5.4.9. Typematic Delay (Msec)

When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic delay (the delay before keystrokes begin to repeat) of 250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds.

5.4.10. Security Option

If you have set a password, select whether the password is required every time the System boots, or only when you enter Setup.

Page 55

BIOS SETUP

5.4.11. PCI/VGA Palette Snoop

Some display cards that are not standard VGA such as graphics accelerators or MPEG cards may not show the correct colors, the setting can correct this problem once you set it to Enable, To default setting leave at Disabled.

5.4.12. Assign IRQ For VGA

Set this option to Yes to allocate an IRQ to VGA device on the PCI Bus. The setting are Enabled or Disabled.

5.4.13. OS select for DRAM>64MB

Select OS2 only if you are running OS/2 operating system with greater than 64MB of RAM on your system.

5.4.14. Shadow

Software that resides in a read-only memory (ROM) chip on a device is called firmware. The Award BIOS permits shadowing of firmware such as the system BIOS, video BIOS, and similar operating instructions that come with some expansion peripherals, such as, for example, a SCSI adapter.

Shadowing copy firmware from ROM into system RAM, where the CPU can read it through the 16-bit or 32-bit DRAM bus. Firmware not shadowed must be read by the system through the 8-bit x-bus. Shadowing improves the performance of the system BIOS and similar ROM firmware for expansion peripherals, but it also reduces the

amount of high memory (640KB to 1 MB) available for loading device drivers, etc.

Enable shadowing into each section of memory separately. Many system designers hardwire shadowing of the system BIOS and eliminate a System BIOS Shadow option.

Video BIOS shadows into memory area C0000-C7FFF> The remaining areas shown on the BIOS Features Setup screen may be occupied by other expansion card firmware. If an expansion peripheral in your system contains ROM-based firmware, you need to know the address range the ROM occupies to shadow it into the correct area of RAM.

5.5.2. System BIOS Cacheable

Select Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

5.5.3. Video BIOS Cacheable

5.5.4. Video RAM Cacheable

Select Enabled allows caching of the video RAM, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

5.5.5. 8 Bit I/O Recovery Time

The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU clocks, which the system will delay after the completion of an input/output request. This delay takes place because the CPU is operating so much faster than the input/output bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for the completion of the I/O. This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 8 bit I/O. Choices are from NA, 1 to 8 CPU clocks.

5.5.6. 16 Bit I/O Recovery Time

This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 16 bit I/O. Choices are from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.

5.5.7. Memory Hole At 15M-16M

In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below 16 MB. You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When that area is reserved it cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory requirements.

5.5.8. Passive Release

When Enabled, CPU to PCI bus accesses are allowed during passive release. Otherwise, the arbiter only accepts another PCI master access to local DRAM.

5.5.9. Delayed Transaction

The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification version 2.1.

5.5.10. AGP Aperture Size (MB)

Page 58

BIOS SETUP

Select the size of the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. See www.agpforum.org for AGP information.

5.5.11. Power-Up State

It specifies how the computer responds following a power failure. Stay Off keeps power off until power button pressed. Last State restores previous power state before a power failure. Power On restores power without restoring previous power state.

5.6.13. Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN

When this feature set to “Delay 4 sec.” , the system will become suspend once the Power Switch be pressed within 4 second, and the system will Power Off once the Power Switch be pressed over 4 second. If it set to “Instant Off”, the system will unconditional Power Off once the Power Switch be pressed.

5.6.14. Resume by Ring

An input signal on the serial Ring Indicator (RI) line (in other words, an incoming call on the modem) awakens the system from a soft off state.

5.6.15. Resume By Alarm

This allows you to have an unattended or automatic power up of your system. You may configure your system to power up at a certain time on a certain date by selecting Enabled to configure it.

5.6.16. Wake Up On LAN

This option specifies whether the computer responds to an incoming call or not. Wake-On Lan requires a PCI add-in network interface card with remote wakeup capabilities.
