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

• OS - an operating system that includes optimizations for HT

Technology

Please refer to Appendix A for information about enabling the functionality of the Hyper-Threading Technology. For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, go to: www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.

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 conventional 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 prefetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.

The graphics engine of the built-in Intel

Graphics

Media Accelerator 3000 consists of a scalable array of symmetric processing components known as execution units (EUs) which can be programmed to dynamically process graphics or media data alike. Execution units support dynamic load balancing, multithreading, and multi-functional data processing, resulting in increased performance to enable a more compelling gaming and visual experience.

Introduction

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. With speed of up to 3Gb/s, it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. G7B630-NR allows configuring RAID on Serial ATA drives. It suppor ts RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10.

The JMicron JMB368 chip supports up to two UltraDMA 133Mbps IDE devices.

The Intel 82566DM and Marvell 88E8056 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controllers support up

to 1Gbps data transmission.

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 connec-

tor for wireless connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data transfers up to 115Kbps baud rate speed.

Introduction

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 system that is in the

Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming from an external modem or respond to calls from a modem PCI card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal to remotely wake up the PC.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

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 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

This function allows you to use the PS/2

keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on the system.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

Introduction

This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system

from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

Important:

If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

≥

1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the

5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

≥

2A.

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

(Advanced 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 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

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

automatically.

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.

System Memory

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

DDR2-1 DDR2-2

DDR2-3 DDR2-4

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.

• 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.

Important:

Do not force the CPU into the socket. Forcing the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and damage the CPU.

10. Once the CPU is in place, move the cover down.

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.

11. Push the lever down to lock the socket. The lever should hook

onto the side tab to indicate that the CPU is completely secured in the socket.

Hardware Installation

2. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU. The 4 studs around the heat sink which are used to secure the heat sink onto the system board must match the 4 mounting holes around the socket.

Position each stud so that the groove faces the heat sink then push it down firmly until it clicks into place.

Note:

You will not be able to secure the fan and heat sink assembly in place if the groove is not facing the heat sink.

3. Connect the CPU fan’s cable connector to the CPU fan connector on the system board.

Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the “First Boot Device” “Second Boot Device” and “Third Boot Device” fields respectively. The BIOS will boot the operating system according to the sequence of the drive selected. Set “Boot Other Device” to Enabled if you wish to boot from another device.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

When enabled, the BIOS will check whether the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. Note that the BIOS cannot distinguish between 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M drive types as they are all 80 tracks. When disabled, the BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track number. Note that there will not be any warning message if the drive installed is 360KB.

Boot Up NumLock Status

This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric keypad. By default, the system boots up with NumLock on wherein the function of the numeric keypad is the number keys. When set to Off, the function of the numeric keypad is the arrow keys.

BIOS Setup

Gate A20 Option

This entry allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 Mbyte. Initially, gate A20 was handled via the keyboard controller. Today, while keyboards still provide this support, it is more common, and much faster, for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20.

Typematic Rate Setting

Disabled Continually holding down a key on your keyboard will

cause the BIOS to report that the key is down.

Enabled The BIOS will not only report that the key is down,

but will first wait for a moment, and, if the key is still down, it will begin to repor t that the key has been depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use such a feature to accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys. You can then select the typematic rate and typematic delay in the “Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)” and “Typematic Delay (Msec)” fields below.

Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

This field allows you to select the rate at which the keys are accelerated.

Typematic Delay (Msec)

This field allows you to select the delay between when the key was first depressed and when the acceleration begins.

System BIOS Cacheable

When this field is enabled, accesses to the system BIOS ROM addressed at F0000H-FFFFFH are cached, provided that the cache controller is enabled. The larger the range of the Cache RAM, the higher the efficiency of the system.

Memory Hole At 15M-16M

In order to improve system performance, certain space in memory can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below 16MB. When enabled, the CPU assumes the 15-16MB memory range is allocated to the hidden ISA address range instead of the actual system DRAM. When disabled, the CPU assumes the 15-16MB address range actually contains DRAM memory. If more than 16MB of system memory is installed, this field must be disabled to provide contiguous system memory.
