Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Introduction

Features

The system board supports Intel processors with Hyper-Threading Technology. Ena-

bling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires ALL of the following platforms.

Components:

• CPU - an Intel

Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology

• Chipset - an Intel® chipset that supports HT Technology

• BIOS - a BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

• OS - an operating system that includes optimizations for HT

Technology

For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, go to: www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.

PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The system board currently supports

the physical layer of x1 and x16 lane widths.

The x1 PCI Express lane supports transfer rate of 2.5 Gigabytes (250MBbps) per second. The PCI Express architecture also provides a high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a x16 PCI Express lane to provide 4 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.

CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring the CPU’s temperature during sys-

tem boot up. Once the CPU’s temperature exceeded the temperature limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system will automatically shutdown. This preventive measure has been added to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environment.

CPU Overheat Protection

hyper-threading technology

Page 13

Introduction

DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conven-

tional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.

The onboard Realtek ALC885 is a High Definition audio codec and the 6 audio jacks at the rear I/O panel provides 8-channel audio output for advanced 7.1-channel

super surround sound audio system. ALC885 also supports S/PDIF output, allowing digital connections with DVD systems or other audio/video multimedia.

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the

quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0 specification. NVIDIA

MCP51 supports speed of up to 3Gb/s. Serial ATA improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

The NVIDIA

MCP51 chip allows configuring RAID on Serial ATA drives. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5.

Page 14

Introduction

Wake-On-LAN

IrDA

The Gigabit MAC (Media Access Control) technology integrated in NVIDIA® MCP51 and the external Vitesse VSC8601 Gigabit Phy supports up to 1Gbps.

IEEE 1394 is fully compliant with the 1394 OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. It supports up to 63 devices that can run simultaneously on a system.

1394 is a fast external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 400Mbps. In addition to its high speed, it also supports isochronous data transfer which is ideal for video devices that need to transfer high levels of data in real-time. 1394 supports both Plug-and-Play and hot plugging.

The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector

for wireless connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1

ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second bandwidth

while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth

providing a marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

This feature allows the network to remotely

wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.

Important:

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

720mA.

Page 15

Introduction

This function allows you to use the PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on the sys-

tem.

Important:

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

720mA.

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the set date and

time.

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Ad-

vanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only Windows

®®

2000/XP supports the ACPI function. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.

With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows

®®

2000/XP without having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.

Important:

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

1A.

When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the

system manually, let the system power-on automatically or return to the state where you left off before power failure occurs.

System Memory

Warning:

When the DRAM Power LED lit red, it indicates that power is present on the DDR2 sockets. Power-off the PC then unplug the power cord prior to installing any memory modules. Failure to do so will cause severe damage to the motherboard and components.

Warning:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

The system board supports 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets. The four DDR2 DIMM sockets on the system board are divided into 2 channels:

Channel A - DDR2-1 and DDR2-2 Channel B - DDR2-3 and DDR2-4

DDR2-1 DDR2-2

DDR2-3 DDR2-4

DRAM Power LED

Channel A

Channel B

Page 28

Hardware Installation

The system board supports the following memory interface.

Single Channel (SC)

Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.

Dual Channel (DC)

Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.

BIOS Setting

Configure the system memory in the Genie BIOS Setting submenu (“Memory Timing Setting” section) of the BIOS.

• DIMMs are on the same channel.

• DIMMs in a channel can be identical or

completely different. However, we highly recommend using identical DIMMs.

• Not all slots need to be populated.

• DIMMs of the same memory configura-

tion are on different channels.

Hardware Installation

Installing the Fan and Heat Sink

The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink. Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.

Note:

• Use only certified fan and heat sink.

• The fan and heat sink package usually contains the fan and

heat sink assembly, and an installation guide. If the installation procedure in the installation guide differs from the one in this section, please follow the installation guide in the package.

1. Before you install the fan / heat sink, you must apply a thermal paste onto the top of the CPU. The thermal paste is usually supplied when you purchase the CPU or fan heat sink assembly. Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later place the heat sink on top of the CPU, the compound will disperse evenly.

Do not apply the paste if the fan / heat sink already has a patch of thermal paste on its underside. Peel the strip that covers the paste before you place the fan / heat sink on top of the CPU.

Hardware Installation

IDE Disk Drive Connector

The system board is equipped with a shrouded PCI IDE header that will interface two Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) disk drives. To prevent improper IDE cable installation, the shrouded PCI IDE header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header.

The IDE connector supports 2 devices, a Master and a Slave. Use an IDE ribbon cable to connect the drives to the system board. An IDE ribbon cable have 3 connectors on them, one that plugs into an IDE connector on the system board and the other 2 connects to IDE devices. The connector at the end of the cable is for the Master drive and the connector in the middle of the cable is for the Slave drive.

Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable

Install one end of the IDE cable into the IDE header (J25) on the system board and the other connectors to the IDE devices.

Note:

Refer to your disk drive user’s manual for information about selecting proper drive switch settings.

Hardware Installation

Adding a Second IDE Disk Drive

When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master and the other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided by the drive manufacturer for setting the jumpers and/or switches on the drives.

The system board supports Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33, ATA/66, ATA/100 or ATA/133 hard drives. We recommend that you use hard drives from the same manufacturer. In a few cases, drives from two different manufacturers will not function properly when used together. The problem lies in the hard drives, not the system board.

Important:

If you encountered problems while using an ATAPI CD-ROM drive that is set in Master mode, please set the CD-ROM drive to Slave mode. Some ATAPI CD-ROMs may not be recognized and cannot be used if incorrectly set in Master mode.

BIOS Setting

Configure the onboard IDE in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (“IDE Function Setup” section) of the BIOS. Refer to chapter 3 for more information.

IrDA and CIR Connectors

Connect the cable connector from your IrDA/CIR module to the IrDA connector (J5) or CIR connector (J15).

Note:

The sequence of the pin functions on some IrDA/CIR cable may be reversed from the pin function defined on the system board. Make sure to connect the cable connector to the IrDA/ CIR connector according to their pin functions.

BIOS Setting

Configure IrDA/CIR in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (“Onboard Super IO Device” section) of the BIOS.

Power Connectors

Use a power supply that complies with the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 1.1. An ATX12V power supply unit has a standard 24-pin ATX main power connector that must be inserted onto CN10.

Your power supply unit may come with an 8-pin or 4-pin +12V power connector. The +12V power enables the delivery of more +12VDC current to the processor’s Voltage Regulator Module (VRM). If available, it is preferable to use the 8-pin power; otherwise connect a 4-pin power connector to CN11 as shown below.

Hardware Installation

The FDD-type power connector provides additional power. If you are using more than one graphics cards, we recommend that you plug a power cable from your power supply unit onto the 5V/12V power connector at location J1. This will provide more stability to the entire system. The system board will still work even if the additional power connector is not connected.

The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply to operate. Your system configuration (CPU power, amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, we

strongly recommend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt (or greater) power supply.

Important:

Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instability or the add-in boards and peripherals not functioning properly. Calculating the system’s approximate power usage is important to ensure that the power supply meets the system’s consumption requirements.

Restarting the PC

Normally, you can power-off the PC by:

1. Pressing the power button at the front panel of the chassis.

2. Pressing the power switch that is on the system board (note: not

all system boards come with this switch).

If for some reasons you need to totally cut off the power supplied to the PC, switch off the power supply or unplug the power cord. Take note though that if you intend to restart it at once, please strictly follow the steps below.

1. The time where power is totally discharged varies among power

supplies. It's discharge time is highly dependent on the system's configuration such as the wattage of the power supply, the sequence of the supplied power as well as the number of peripheral devices connected to the system. Due to this reason, we strongly recommend that you wait for the Standby Power LED (refer to the “LEDs” section in this chapter for the location of the Standby Power LED) to lit off.

2. After the Standby Power LED has lit off, wait for 6 seconds

before powering on the PC.

If the system board is already enclosed in a chassis which apparently will not make the Standby Power LED visible, wait for 15 seconds before you restore power connections. 15 seconds is approximately the time that will take the LED to lit off and the time needed before restoring power.

The above will ensure protection and prevent damage to the motherboard and components.

If a PS/2 mouse is not available and you need to use a USB mouse to install Windows (installation is performed in DOS mode) or run any program under DOS, set this field to Enabled.

USB Park Mode

The options are Enabled and Disabled.

USB TD Reads

The options are non-ISO Queue and ISO Queue.

BIOS Setup

Primary IDE

This field is used to enable or disable the onboard IDE.

Primary Master PIO and Primary Slave PIO

PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by themselves. Your system supports five modes, 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode after checking your drive.

Auto The BIOS will automatically set the system according

to your hard disk drive’s timing.

Mode 0-4 You can select a mode that matches your hard disk

drive’s timing. Caution: Do not use the wrong setting or you will have drive errors.
