CHAPTER 2 MEMORY

CONFIGURATION

2.1 SYSTEM MEMORY

The Mainboard lets user upgrade system memory via SIMM sockets and DIMM socket on the mainboard. Four SIMM sockets (SIM1, SIM2, SIM3, SIM4) are provided for SPM, FPM and EDO DRAM SIMM and one DIMM socket (M2) is available for the 3.3V SDRAM or EDO DIMM.

On board memory is divided in two banks. Bank 0: SIM1 & SIM2 - which are assigned as row 0 (when single sided

SIMMs are used) or row 0, 1 (when double sided SIMMs are used) by the System BIOS.

OR

M2 - which is assigned as row 0, 1.

Bank 1: SIM3 & SIM4 - which are assigned as row 2 (when single sided

SIMMs are used) or row 2, 3 (when double sided SIMMs are used) by the System BIOS.

2 SIMM sockets are used as a single bank and the only one DIMM socket form a single bank itself. User can use the combination of 4M, 8M, 16M or 32M SIMM; 8MB, 16MB and 32MB DIMM as the system memory. However, it is not recommended to install SIMM and DIMM at the same time.

Note: !! The type of SIM1/SIM2 must be same.

!! The type of SIM3/SIM4 must be same. !! SIM1/SIM2 and M2 cannot co-exist. !! Non-parity SIMMs and DIMMs is required. !! Only 3.3V, unbuffered SDRAM or EDO DIMM can be used.

Chapter 26

The total memory size is 8-128MB and various configuration of DRAM types in the following table are for reference:

Bank 0

(SIM1, 2 or M2)

Single None

Table 1: Memory Configuration

Single means Single side SIMM Module or Single side DIMM Module. The size of Single size SIMM can be 4MB, 16MB and the size of Single side DIMM can be 8MB, 16MB, 32MB.

Double means Double side SIMM Module or Double side DIMM Module. The size of Double side SIMM can be 8MB, 32MB and the size of Double side DIMM can be 16MB, 32MB.

Bank 1

(SIM3, 4)

**Note: based on above chart, the different types of SIMM can be in different bank,

but within same bank, the two SIMM modules must be of same type and size. Moreover, it is not recommended to install the 5V SIMM and 3.3V DIMM at the same time.

Memory Configuration 7

2.2 CACHE MEMORY CONFIGURATION

256KB or 512MB secondary cache system is built in with Pipeline Burst SRAM:

Cache Tag RAM Location: U12 Size of the Tag RAM: 16Kx8 or 32Kx8 Synchronous Pipeline Burst SRAM Location: U9, U10

Chapter 28

2.3 VIDEO MEMORY UPGRADE

1MB video memory is built in with EDO DRAM on U33, U34. User can upgrade the video memory to 2MB with installing 2 pcs 50ns - 60ns 256KBx16 (SOJ) EDO DRAM on U35, U36.

3.3 CONNECTION THE MOTHERBOARD

Once the mainboard have been fastened into the system case, the next step is to connect the internal cables. The internal cables are wire leads with plastic female connectors that attach to the connectors. The mainboard connectors have varying numbers of pins and are the points of contact between the mainboard and other parts of the computer.

A description of each connector and its connector pins follows. See Fig. 3 for the location of the connectors on the mainboard.

Note: Before making connectors on the board, make sure that power to the

system is turned off.

CHAPTER 4 AWARD BIOS

SETUP GUIDE

This following manual is specially provided for the BIOS supported system. After the configuration of the mainboard, and have assembled the components, user can turn on the completed system. At this point, run the software setup to ensure that the system information is correct.

The software setup of the system board is achieved through Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) programming. Use the BIOS setup program to tell the operating system what type of devices (such as disk drives) are connected to the system board.

The system setup is also called CMOS setup. Normally, users need to run system setup if either the hardware configuration is not identical with information contained in the CMOS RAM, or the CMOS RAM has lost power.

4.1 AWARD BIOS SETUP

The setup program provided with the mainboard is the Award BIOS from Award Software, Inc. Enter the AWARD Setup program's Main Menu as follows:

1. Turn on or reboot the system. After a series of diagnostic check, the following message appear:

"Press DEL to enter SETUP"

External Cache: Choose Enabled or Disabled. This option lets user choose whether to use secondary cache memory. The default is Enabled.

Quick Power On Self Test: Choose Enabled or Disabled. This option let the POST sequence runs longer for through tests.

Boot Sequence: With the default setting the BIOS first attempts to boot from drive A: and then, if unsuccessful, from hard disk C:. User can reverse this sequence with "C: A:", but then drive A: cannot boot directly.

Swap Floppy Drive: Choose Enabled or Disabled. This option lets end users to change the Drive A: or B: to others.

Boot Up Floppy Seek: Choose Enabled or Disabled. "Disabled" provides a fast boot and reduces the possibility of damage to the heads.

Boot Up NumLock Status: Choose On or Off. On puts numeric keypad in Num Lock mode at boot-up. Off puts numeric keypad in arrow key mode at boot-up.

Boot Up System Speed: Choose High or Low. Set the CPU timing at Boot Up, the default is high.

Gate A20 Option: Choose Fast or Slow. The system switch back an forth from real mode to virtue mode, fast means the system will switch through logic, slow through keyboard. The default is Fast.

Typematic Rate Setting: Choose Enabled or Disabled. Enabled will determines the typematic rate defined by following two options.

Typematic Rate: The number selected 6,8,10... indicates how fast the number of characters can response in one second.

Typematic Delay (Msec): The number selected indicates the time period between two identical keys appear.
