MXIH Series CyberResearch® Motherboards

Installing the CPU

The MXIH SERIES motherboard supports a Socket 478 processor socket for

®

Intel

Pentium® 4 & Celeron processors.

The Socket 478 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the processor.
Raise this lever to about a 90° angle to allow the insertion of the processor.
Place the processor into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of the
CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the processor
has slide into the socket, return the lever to the lock position. Refer to the figures
below.

After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the jumpers for
the CPU type and speed are correct.

NOTE:

Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in
total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that can cause
your system to hang or be unstable.

ATX Power Installation

The system power is provided to the motherboard with the ATXP1 and ATXP2
ATX power connectors. ATXP2 is a 4-pin 12V power connector. ATXP1 is to
be connected to a standard ATX power connector.

Installing the Memory

The MXIH SERIES motherboard supports four DDR memory sockets for a
maximum total memory of 4GB in DDR memory type. You can install
unbuffered & ECC DDR DIMMs. It supports DDR266 when installed with
CPUs that have clock speeds of 400MHz. It supports DDR266/333 when
installed with CPUs that have clock speeds of 533MHz. It supports
DDR266/320/400 when installed with CPUs that have clock speeds of
800MHz. The board provides dual channel functionality for its DIMM slots.
DIMM1/2is for one channel and DIMM3/4 is for another channel. Enabling
dual channels can increase data access rates by putting two similar-size DDR
modules into two same-color DIMM slots.

Basically, the system memory interface has the following features:

Supports two 64-bit wide DDR data channels
Available bandwidth up to 3.2GB/s (DDR400) for single-channel mode
and 6.4GB/s (DDR400) in dual-channel mode.
Supports ECC DIMMs.
Supports 128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb, 1Gb DDR technologies.
Supports only x8, x16, DDR devices with four banks

Watchdog Timer Configuration

The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user
programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of system
lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these
circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the selected outputs will be
driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will restart the WDT at regular
intervals before the timer counts to zero.

BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer
system’s ROM supports Intel
critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports
and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special
support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.

BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup
utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately
activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup
utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self
Test) will continue with its test routin es, thus preventing y ou from invoking t he
Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the syst em by pressing the ”Reset”
button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You
can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following
message will appear on the screen:

®

Pentium® 4 processors. The BIOS provides

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the
<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.

When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and
exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control keys
for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just below the co ntrol keys
section, there is another section, which displays information on the currently
highlighted item in the list.

Note:

If the system cannot boot after making and saving system
changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports an override to
the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default.

Warning:

It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been
carefully chosen by both Award and your system
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance
and reliability. Changing the defaults could cause the system
to become unstable and crash in some cases.

Standard CMOS Setup

“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware
configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error
handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will
not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option,
however, if you change your system hardware configurations, the onboard
battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or
damaged.

This item allows you to set the priority for hard disk boot. When you press enter, the
selections shows the current hard disks used in your system as well as the “Bootable
Add-in Card” that is relevant to other boot sources media such as SCSI cards and LAN
cards.

CPU L1 and L2 Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM
(system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most,
but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU
requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to enable (speed up
memory access) or disable the cache function. By default, these items are Enabled.

Hyper-Threading Technology

This feature is enabled when your processor supports Hyper-Threading
Technology. Otherwise, this field will be hidden.

Quick Power On Self Test

When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the
system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.

it will flash an error message.

Boot Up NumLock Status

This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the
system.

Gate A20 Option

This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device
used to address memory above 1 MB.

operating system. MPS version 1.4 added extended configur ation tables to
improve support for multiple PCI bus configurations and improve future
expandability. The default setting is 1.4.

OS Select for DRAM > 64MB

This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM memory
when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS cal ls to access memory. The
default setting is Non-OS/2.

Report No FDD For WIN 95

If you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy disk drive, select Enabled to
release IRQ6. This is required to pass Windows 95/98's SCT test. You should
also disable the Onboard FDC Controller in the Integrated Peripherals screen

DRAM Timing Selectable

This option refers to the method by which the DRAM timing is selected. The
default is By SPD.

CAS Latency Time

You can configure CAS latency time in HCLKs as 2 or 2.5 or 3. The system
board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the DRAM
installed. Do not change the values in t his field unless you change specifications
of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.

Active to Precharge Delay

The default setting for the Active to Precharge Delay is 7.

DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

This option allows you to insert a delay between the RAS (Row Address Strobe)
and CAS (Column Address Strobe) signals. This delay occurs when the
SDRAM is written to, read from or refreshed. Reducing the delay improves the
performance of the SDRAM.

DRAM RAS# Precharge

This option sets the number of cycles required for the RAS to accumulate its
charge before the SDRAM refreshes. The default setting for the Active to
Precharge Delay is 3.

Memory Frequency For

This field sets the frequen cy of the DRAM memory installed. The default
setting is Auto. The other settings are DDR266, DDR333, DDR320 and
DDR400.

System BIOS Cacheable

The setting of 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.

Video BIOS Cacheable

The Setting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at
C0000h-F7FFFh, resulting in better video performance. However, if any
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

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.
The choices are Enabled and Disabled.

Delay Prior to Thermal

This field activates the CPU thermal function after the systems boots for the set
number of minutes. The options are 16Min and 64Min.

AGP Aperture Size

The field sets aperture size of the graphics. 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. The default setting is 128M.

Init Display First

This field allows the system to initialize first the VGA on chip or the display
card on the PCI Slot.

DRAM Data Integrity Mode

This BIOS feature controls the ECC feature of the memory controller. ECC,
which stands for Error Checking and Correction, en ables the mem ory controll er
to detect and correct single-bit soft memory errors. The memory controller will
also be able to detect double-bit errors although it will not be able to correct
them. This provides increased data integrity and system stability. However, this
feature can only be enabled if you are using special ECC memory modules.

Product Service

Diagnosis and Debug

CyberResearch, Inc. maintains technical support lines staffed by experienced
Applications Engineers and Technicians. There is no charge to call and we will
return your call promptly if it is received while our lines are busy. Most problems
encountered with data acquisition products can be solved over the phone. Signal
connections and programming are the two most common sources of difficulty.
CyberResearch support personnel can help you solve these problems, especially
if you are prepared for the call.

To ensure your call’s overall success and expediency:

1) Have the phone close to the PC so you can conveniently and quickly take
action that the Applications Engineer might suggest.

2) Be prepared to open your PC, remove boards, report back-switch or
jumper settings, and possibly change settings before reinstalling the
modules.

3) Have a volt meter handy to take measurements of the signals you are
trying to measure as well as the signals on the board, module, or power
supply.

4) Isolate problem areas that are not working as you expected.

5) Have the source code to the program you are having trouble with available
so that preceding and prerequisite modes can be referenced and
discussed.

6) Have the manual at hand. Also have the product’s utility disks and any
other relevant disks nearby so programs and version numbers can be
checked.

Preparation will facilitate the diagnosis procedure, save you time, and avoid
repeated calls. Here are a few preliminary actions you can take before you call
which may solve some of the more common problems:

1) Check the PC-bus power and any power supply signals.

2) Check the voltage level of the signal between SIGNAL HIGH and SIGNAL
LOW, or SIGNAL+ and SIGNAL– . It CANNOT exceed the full scale range
of the board.

3) Check the other boards in your PC or modules on the network for address
and interrupt conflicts.

4) Refer to the example programs as a baseline for comparing code.
