Chapter 2: Using Your Mainboard
This chapter explains how to install new hardware on your mainboard. It covers installing expansion cards, adding system memory, jumper setting and etc.
Installing Expansion Cards
There are 6 expansion card slots on the mainboard, three ISA slots and three PCI slots. When you get an expansion card, it will come with instructions on how to install it.
ISA Cards & Slots
ISA expansion cards often use system resources in the form of IRQs and DMA channels. Newer cards that comply with the Plug and Play(PnP) standard are designed to allow the Operating System to auto­matically configure system resources. Cards that do not support PnP may require manual configuration of both the card hardware and settings in the CMOS Setup Utility.
PCI Cards & Slots
With very few exceptions, any PCI expansion card you are likely to get will be Plug and Play compliant. If you are using an Operating Sys­tem that supports PnP, such as Windows 95, you should be able to follow the installation instructions that comes with the this mainboard must be installed under your Operating System. This drivers are located on the Support Disk.
Installing Memory Modules
To install a module, insert it into the socket at about a 45° angle
Page 16
P5SJ-B User’s Manual
Chapter 2: 2-2
and then push it up into the retaining clips so that it snaps in place and is at a 90° angle to the board.
Modules are designed so that they will only insert in one orienta­tion. If you have trouble inserting the connector edge of the module into the socket, it try again. You shouldn't need to force it.
If All Sockets Are Occupied
If you want to install more memory and there are no sockets avail­able, you must remove some installed modules and replace them with the upgrade modules. If you have to so this, make sure to identify what type of memory is already installed.
In some cases, there may be a mix of module types. You can tell this by checking the configuration screen that appears while the com­puter is starting up. Press the pause key to temporarily interrupt the start-up process while the screen is visible so that you have more time to read it. When you're done press any key to resume.
Remove the lowest performance and smallest size modules and replace them with the upgrade. For example, if your have the following configuration and you plan to install two 16MB EDO modules:
(EX) SIMM1 & 2:8MB Fast Page mode modules
SIMM2 & 3:8MB EDO modules(P5SJ-B only support SIMM1/2)
You should remove the two 8MB FP modules because they are lower performance and replace them with the memory upgrade, result­ing in the greatest performance gain.

P5SJ-B User’s Manual
Chapter 2: 2-3
Installing A CPU Upgrade
If you are installing this mainboard it will not have a CPU installed unless your vendor installed one when you purchased the board. If the mainboard is installed in a system, there will already be a CPU installed. In either case the information and procedure for installing a CPU is the same. Since the more likely scenario is that you are installing an upgrade, this section assumes that is what you are doing.
The Basic Procedure
To install a CPU on this mainboard you need to set up the board for a specific CPU by doing the following items:
Set the External Clock Speed(Cap Color: Yellow)
Set the Clock Multiplier Factor(Cap Color: Green)
Set the CPU Voltage(Cap Color: Red)
You configure the CPU settings by adjusting jumper settings on the board. In order to do this, you will need to know some information about the CPU you plan to install.
This should be provided by the CPU vendor or by the vendor you buy the chip from. You'll need the following information:
CPU Internal Clock Speed
CPU Voltage
The internal clock speed is the speed the CPU operates at to pro­cess data and is the one used by CPU manufacturers to indicate the speed of the chip, for example, a 133MHz Intel Pentium . The CPU also has an external clock speed which is the speed at which it interacts with external components.
Page 18
P5SJ-B User’s Manual
Chapter 2: 2-4
CPU voltage may either be the same internally and externally or it may be split, depending on the CPU design. Some processors use one voltage for the 'core'(Vcore) and another for input/output(Vio).
Configuring External Clock Speed & Factor
To configure the board for a CPU's internal clock speed, you have to set the external clock speed(sometimes referred to as the bus speed) and the clock factor so that the result is the internal clock speed of the CPU you are installing. For example, the default setting for these is:
66.6MHZ[external clock] x 2.0[clock factor] =133.2MHz
or, an effective setting of 133MHz.
CPU Jumper Tables & Illustrations
This section lists the jumper setting options for this mainbaord. The settings are listed as follows: n The two pins shorted by a jumper cap on a three-or-more-pin
jumper, e.g. 1-2
or n For a two-pin jumper, On, if the cap is in place, and Off, if a cap is
not in place.
In the jumper illustrations, the Pin 1 position is shaded and the jumpers, shown in a "bird's eye" view, look like this:
A jumper with a cap in position looks like this:
The default settings are noted in the summary tables. Unless you
Page 19

need to upgrade the CPU, disable the onboard VGA feature or upgrade the BIOS, you should not need to change them.

Large Hard Disk Modes
The last of the drive parameter entries – Mode – has four options, Normal, LBA, Large and Auto. The Mode settings are for IDE hard disks only.
Normal
For IDE hard disks of 528MB or less.
LBA
This stands for Logical Block Addressing, the current standard access mode
for large IDE hard disk drives. It allows the use of hard disks larger than
528MB by causing the IDE controller to translate between the logical ad-
dress it creates and the hard disk’s actual physical address. The maximum
drive size supported is 8.4GB.
Large
For 1GB or smaller drives with more than 1024 cylinders and no LBA sup-
port. This access mode causes the Operating System to treat the drive as if it
has fewer than 1024 cylinders by dividing the cylinder total in half and
doubling the number of heads. Drives needing this mode are less common.
Most large IDE hard disk drives currently available use the LBA mode. Use the AUTO setting to automatically detect the correct mode for new drives.
Floppy Disk Drives
The two floppy disk drive items set the drive type for drives A and B, and must be entered manually. The options are
360KB, 5.25 in.
1.2MB, 5.25 in. 720KB, 3.5 in.

Floppy 3 Mode Support
3 Mode is a Japanese 3.5-inch floppy disk drive specification. If this type of
drive is installed you should enable this feature. The default setting is Disabled.
Video Display Types
You set this according to the type of display card in your system. This should
normally be left on EGA/VGA. The options are:
EGA/VGA Mono (for Hercules or MDA) CGA 40 CGA 80

What Power Management Does
Power management lets you set up your computer to save electricty when it is not actively in use by putting the system into progressively greater power saving modes. In the power management scheme there are four system states which proceed in the following sequence:
Normal , Doze, Standby, Suspend
Power Management
This controls the entire power management scheme. There are four set­tings:
Page 41
P5SJ-B User’s Manual
Chapter 3: 3-15
User Defined
You set the power saving options manually
Disable
Turns off all power management
Max Saving
Maximizes power saving by activating maximum power saving settings af­ter one minute of system inactivity
Min Saving
Produces less power saving by activating moderate power saving settings after one hour of system inactivity
PM Control By APM
When this is set to Yes the Advanced Power Management feature Microsoft Windows controls power management operation. The default setting is Yes.
Video Off After
This governs when the video display turned off.
Doze Mode
This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system goes into Doze mode, the most limited power saving state. The settings range from 1 minute to 1 hour and can be set manually when power management is User Define mode. The default setting is Disabled. When the system goes into power saving mode, power managemnet will ship to the next mode in the sequence if this is disabled.
Standby Mode
This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system goes into Standby mode, the intermediate power saving state. The settings range from 1 minute to 1 hour and can be set manually when power management is User Define mode. The default setting is Disabled. When the system goes into power saving mode, power managemnet will ship to the next mode in the sequence if this is disabled.
Suspend Mode
This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system goes into Suspend mode, the maximum power saving state.

When this line is set to Auto the BIOS will automatically configure IRQ and DMA resources. This is the recommended setting. If you set this line to Manual, the screen changes as shown above and allows manual configuration. In general you should only need to do this if you are installing an ISA card that requires manual configuration.
Reset Configuration Data
The default setting is ‘Disabled’ . If you need to clear the ESCD data, set this to ‘Enabled’ . The data will clear automatically and the BIOS will reset this line to the ‘Disabled’ setting.

When you set a password, the Security Option line in BIOS Features Setup controls when the password is required. You can set the option to require the password when the system boots up or when calling up the CMOS Setup utility. The mainboard ships with no password.
IDE HDD Auto Detection
When you install an IDE hard drive, you can use this feature to automati­cally detect the drive parameters and enter them in the appropriate Hard Disk section of Standard CMOS Setup. However, since the Auto settings in Stan­dard CMOS Setup perform the same function, you do not need to configure IDE hard disk drives from here. If you want to use this feature, highlight it in the main menu and press the Enter key.
Save And Exit Setup
When you select this and press Enter the values entered during the current session are recorded in CMOS memory.
Exit Without Saving
When you select this and press Enter the Setup Utility closes without re-
