1.4.2 How to install a DIMM Module

1. The DIMM socket has a “ Plastic Safety
Tab” ,and the DIMM memory module has
an Asymmetrical notch”, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit i nto the slot
in one direction.

2. Push the tabs out. Insert the DIMM
memory modules into the socket at a
90-degree angl e, th en p u sh down vertically
so that it will fit into the place.

3. The Mounting Holes and plastic tabs
should fit over the edge and hold the
DIMM m emory modules in place.

1.5.1 ACR (Advanced Co mmunicati o n Ri s er) Slot

The ACR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture and that defines a
hardware scal able riser card inter face, which supports au dio, netw ork and modem
only.

1.5.2 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot

Unlike the mouse ports, keyboard ports and printer ports, this motherboard does not
have built in video facilities and therefore requires a video card for one of the
expansion slots. Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This
motherboard supports video cards for PCI and ISA slots, but it is also equipped
with an A ccelerated Graphics P ort (AGP). An AGP card will take adv antage of
AGP technology for improved video eff iciency and performance, especially with
3D graphics.

1.5.3 CNR (Communication Network Riser) Slot

The CNR specif ication is an op en Industry S tandard Archi tecture and it defin es a
hardware scal able riser card inter face, which supports au dio, netw ork and modem
only.

1.5.4 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots

This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect, it is a bus standard for expansion cards, which has
supplanted the older ISA bus standard in most parts. This PCI slot is designated as
32 bit.

1.7.4 Serial and Parallel Interface Ports

This system comes equipped with two serial ports and one parallel port. Both types
of interface ports will be explained in this chapter.

1.7.4.1 The Serial Interface: JCOM1/ JCOM2

The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-232 port or an
asynchronous communication port. Mice, printers, modems and other peripheral
devices can be connected to a serial port. The serial port can also be used to connect
your compu ter with anot her comp uter syst em. If yo u wis h to t ran sfer the c ont ents
of your hard disk to another system it can be accomplished by using each machine’s
serial port.

The serial ports on this system have two 9-pin connectors. Some older computer
systems and peripherals used to be equipped with only one 25-pin connector.
Should you need to connect your 9-pin serial port to an older 25-pin serial port, you
can purchase a 9-to-25 pin adapter.

1-26

Chapter 1 Motherboard Description

Connectivity

The serial ports can be used in many ways, and it may be necessary to become
familiar with the pinout diagram. The following chart gives you the function of
each pin on the 9-pin connector and some of the 25-pin connector. This information
can be used when configuring certain software programs to work with the serial
ports.

1.7.4.2 Parallel Interface Port: JPRNT1

Unlike the serial ports, parallel interface port has been standardized and should not
present any difficulty interfacing peripherals to your system. Sometimes called
centronics port, the parallel port is almost exclusively used with printers. The
parallel port on your system has a 25-pin, DB25 connector (see picture below). The

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, i s a syst em wh ich a l lows I/O d evic es t o op erat e at sp eeds n earin g t h e
speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components.
This section co vers some v ery tech nical items and it is stron gly recommend ed that
only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.

Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations



Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record
which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every
peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records which
resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD to the
memory locations . These locat ions (4K ) are reserv ed in the syst em BIOS . If the
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when the
new confi guration vari es from the last on e. If the Enabled option is chosen, th e
system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the “Disabled”
mode.

The Choices: Disabled (default), Enab led.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

Resources Controlled By

By Choosing “Auto” (default), th e system BIOS will d etect the system r esources
and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral.
By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards.
Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.

IRQ Resources

This submenu wil l allow you to a ssign each syst em interrup t a type, dep ending on
the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you
will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts.
This is only configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.

IRQ-3 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-10 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-11 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-12 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-14 assigned to: PCI Device
IRQ-15 assigned to: PCI Device

Legacy is the term, whi ch signifies that a r esource is assigned to the ISA Bus and
provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is
assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA
compatible take th e output from a VGA controll er and map it to their disp lay as a
way to provide boot information and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the
palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the
graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. T o
do this, th e non-VGA graphic co ntroller wat ches for t he Writ e access t o the V GA
palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA
controller is on th e PC I b u s and a non-VGA graphic c on tr oller is on an ISA bus, the
Write Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA
controller responds to the Wri te.

2-25

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

In this case, the PCI VGA controlle r should not respond to the Write, it should only
snoop the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The
non-VGA ISA graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless
you have the above situation, you should disable this option.

The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.
