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

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

P5SJ-B User’s Manual

Chapter 3: 3-16

Suspend Mode

The settings range from 1 minute to 1 hour and can be set manually when
power management is in User Define mode. The default setting is Disabled.
When the system goes into power saving mode, power management will skip
to the next mode in the sequence if htis is disabled.

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.

typing anything else. The message “Password Disabled” will appear and the
message box will close.

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
