CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION

Before the system is ready to operate, the hardware must be set
up for various functions of the system. To set up the

EXP8039

motherboard is a simple task. The user only has to set a few
jumpers, connectors and sockets.

2.1 DRAM INSTALLATION

The

EXP8039

motherboard can support expanded memory from

1MB to 32MB. Either 1MB, 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, SIM Modules
can be used on the

EXP8039

motherboard.

n The board layout below shows the locations of the DRAM
memory banks :

Numeric Keys 0 to 9 are used in the Virtual Keyboard and Numeric

Keypad.

The hardware features and options of the

EXP8039

are on-site
selectable for maximum flexibility. You will need to configure
these options through the built-in Setup Utility prior to using

EXP8039

for the first time. This setup Utility is a multi­screen,menu driven program and is contained within the BIOS
EPROM.

The following sections show the procedures that you may need to
configure the

EXP8039

:

1. Press <DEL> while turning on or rebooting the system to

invoke Setup Utility program.

2. The Main Menu will be shown as follows:

Select the type of video display card your system intalled. The

options are:

Mono (for Herculess or MDA)
If you have a VGA or any higher resolution card,choose the

EGA/VGA setting.

l Keyboard Function:

“Typematic Rate chars/sec” : The function controls the speed
of keystrokes. The options are Disable/15/20/30
characters per second.
“System Keyboard” : Testing the keyboard or not.

l Password Checking:

“Always” : Uses the user password feature every time when

you boot up system.

“Setup” : This only protect the setup utiliay settings.

l Shadow Functions:

This function copies the BIOS into system DRAM to improve
performance.

l IDE Block Mode:

The feature enhances hard disk performance by making multi­sector transfers instead of one sector per transfer.

l Primany IDE 32-Bit transfer:

This function used 32-bit data transfer between the system

and the IDE hard disk.

l LBA Mode (Logical Block Address)

Note :

1. Byte merge:

This feature is used to merge byte or word to double word. Since

PCI is a 32-bit bus.

2. Fast Back to Back:

This feature is used to enable PCI fast-back-to-back cycle

defined in PCI specification.
But in our tests, not every PCI VGA card can accept these features

correctly, we suggest this feature programmed as an option in
CMOS setup.
