PAK-2005 Mainboard Manual

This User’s Manual

This manual is designed to guide you and facilitate your use of the PAK-2005 mainboard. It contains a description of the design and features of the mainboard, and also includes useful information for changing the configuration of the board and the system it is installed in. The manual is divided into three chapters, which contain the main body of information normally referred to by users.

n Chapter 1 — Overview

gives an overview of the mainboard and describes its major components and features.

n Chapter 2 — Installation Procedures

gives instructions on how to set up the mainboard, including jumper settings and CPU installation guides.

n Chapter 3 — Award BIOS Setup

briefly explains the mainboard’s BIOS system setup in general and tells you how to run it and change the system configuration settings.

NOTE : The materials in this manual are for information only and is subject to

change without notice. We reserve the right to make changes in the product design without reservation and without notification to its users. We shall not be liable for technical or editorial omissions made herein; nor for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the furnishing, performance, or use of this material.

Something Interesting

This section provides useful information that you will need to know should you decide to modify or upgrade the configuration of the mainboard and the system it is installed in. If you do not have the confidence to upgrade the mainboard yourself, we advise that you consult a qualified service technician for assistance.

Page 16

Overview

The BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is the basic firmware that instructs the computer on how to operate. For the BIOS to work properly, there must be a record of the computer's hardware and configuration settings for it to refer to. This record is created using the Setup Utility, a program that is stored permanently in the BIOS ROM chip on the mainboard.

The system configuration record created by the Setup Utility is also stored on the mainboard, but not permanently. This section of the memory it is stored in is the NVRAM.

When you buy your computer, the system configuration record will already be set and may in some cases differ from the basic defaults. The first time you use your computer or when you need to re-configure your system, you should run the Setup Utility and write down the settings. Please see Chapter 3 for an explanation on how to run the Setup Utility.

IRQ Functionality

As you read through this manual, you will see the term IRQ on a number of occasions. It is important for you to know what this term means, particularly if you intend to upgrade your system.

IRQ stands for Interrupt Request, the process in which an input or output device tells the processor to temporarily interrupt its current task and immediately process something from the source of the interrupt. When it has completed this, the processor returns to the task it was already processing. Devices that need an IRQ line to operate sometimes need to have exclusive use of that line.

A large number of add-on cards, such as sound cards and LAN cards, require the use of an IRQ line to function. Some number of IRQs may already be in use by components in the system such as the keyboard and mouse. Add-on cards that need to use an IRQ draw from the unused group of IRQs. When installing a card that uses an IRQ, it will have a default IRQ setting which you might have to change if that IRQ is already in use and cannot be shared.

An ISA add-on card may need to use IRQs. System IRQs are available to add-on cards installed on the ISA bus. There are two categories of ISA add-on cards: socalled Legacy ISA cards, which need to be configured manually and then installed in the available ISA slot; and Plug and Play (PnP) ISA cards, which are configured automatically by the system. As a result, when you install Legacy ISA cards, you have to carefully configure the system to ensure that the installed cards do not conflict with each other by having the same IRQ. With PnP cards, on the other hand, IRQs are assigned automatically from the ones available in the system.

Page 17

PAK-2005 Mainboard Manual

DMA Channels of ISA Cards

Some Legacy and PnP ISA add-on cards may also need to use a Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel. DMA assignments for this mainboard are handled in the same way as the IRQ assignment process outlined above. For more information, please refer to Chapter 3 of this manual.

Enhanced IDE

This mainboard features an integrated Enhanced IDE controller that provides convenient, high-speed connections with up to four IDE devices, such as Hard Disk, CD-ROM and Tape Backup Drives. Enhanced IDE is an upgrade of the original IDE specification and provides increased capabilities and performance in a number of areas, including support for Hard Disk Drives utilizing the PIO Mode 4 timing scheme.

With the integrated IDE controller, you can connect up to four IDE peripheral devices to your system. All devices are categorized in the same way that IDE Hard Disks were configured in the past, with one device set as the Master device and the other as the Slave device. We recommend that Hard Disk Drives use the Primary IDE connector and that CD-ROM drives utilize the Secondary IDE connector for improved system performance.

Infrared Connections

This mainboard features support for highly-sophisticated IR technology, which allows bi-directional and cordless data transactions with other IrDA compliant computers and peripheral devices using infrared as a medium. This transmission is carried out in either Full Duplex Mode or Half Duplex Mode. The former allows simultaneous data transmission and reception, while the latter disables the reception when transmission occurs.

The I/O chipset on this mainboard features an IR (SIR and FIR) interface that is fully compliant with the IrDA standard. An IrDA device can be installed via a 9-pin D-SUB connector in the rear panel of the computer which is linked by a cable to the onboard IrDA pinhead.

The serial port COM2 on this mainboard is designed to be an IR compliant port. If you wish to install the IR connection feature, you need to adjust the BIOS option for high-speed performance.

Page 18

Overview

[I/OConnectorPhoto]

Highly Convenient Integrated I/O Connectors

This mainboard features an integrated rear I/O panel that incorporates a full set of I/O ports to allow simple and convenient connections to a complete selection of external peripheral devices. It supports state-of-the-art USB technology which provides high-speed and easy-to-use Plug & Play connections to the future generation of external peripherals, such as keyboards, mouse, monitors, game devices, scanners, printers, and fax/modems.

USB overcomes conventional I/O bottlenecks by combining the I/O ports into a single dual-channel connector that supports up to 120 devices. For optimum ease of use and flexibility, USB not only allows the automatic detection and configuration of peripherals after installation, but also enables the simultaneous connection of up to 63 devices.

This mainboard comes with either an onboard USB port (for the exact location see page 42 of chapter 2) or an optional USB connector bracket that is connected by a cable to the onboard USB pinhead. The bracket can be installed in one of the I/O expansion slots on the rear panel of the system. It provides fast and convenient Plug and Play peripheral connections outside the computer, allowing you to take full advantage of the universal functionality and flexibility of USB technology.

2). Install System RAM Modules

DRAM Memory

The working space of the computer is the Random Access Memory (RAM). The system cannot act upon data unless it is loaded into RAM. When more memory is added, the working memory of the computer is larger, thereby increasing total performance.

The PAK-2005’s RAM is comprised of two industry standard 72-pin Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs) and two 168-pin Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs). Each SIMM socket supports from 4 to 64MB, either 60ns or 70ns FPM (Fast Page Mode) (asymmetric or symmetric) and high-speed EDO (Enhanced Data Out) DRAM (parity is not supported). Each DIMM socket is able to support up to 128MB EDO DRAM or lightning-fast SDRAM.

Occasionally the system must break apart data files because the entire file does not fit into the RAM area. Consequently, when the system needs data that is not in RAM, it must access the disk where the balance of the data is stored. Compared to the lightning speed access of the system has to RAM, accessing a mechanical disk drive is a slow process.

Before making DRAM upgrades, you should verify the type and speed of the RAM currently installed from your dealer. Installing mixtures of RAM types other than those described in this manual, will have unpredictable results.

Installation Procedures

Install SIMMs

Complete the following procedures to install SIMMs:

CAUTION: Always turn the system power off before installing or removing any

device. Always observe static electricity precautions. See “Handling Precautions” at the start of this manual.

1. Locate the SIMM slots on the mainboard. (See figure below.)

NOTE : SIMMs in each bank must be of the same type; System BIOS

automatically configures the memory size.

2. Carefully fit a SIMM at a 45 degree angle into each empty socket to be populated, making sure that all the contacts are aligned with the socket. The SIMM memory modules will only fit in one orientation as shown because of a “Plastic Safety Tab” on one end of the SIMM sockets which requires the “Notched End” of the SIMM memory modules.

3. With your fingers, swing each SIMM into its upright, locked position so that it clicks into place. When locking a SIMM in place, push on each end of the SIMM

- do not push in the middle, as shown above.

4. The plastic guides should go through the two “Mounting Holes” on the sides and the “Metal Clips” should snap on the other side.

Page 29

PAK-2005 Mainboard Manual

Remove SIMMs

To remove the SIMMs, pull on the retaining latch (Metal Clips) on both ends of the socket and reverse the procedure above.

Install DIMMs

Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMM’s) can be used when the SIMM sockets are not used. Two sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) Unbuffered Synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM) or Extended Data Out (EDO) DRAM of either 8, 16, 32, or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 128MB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM module takes up one row on the mainboard. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module will only fit in one orientation. DRAM SIMM modules have the same pin contact on both sides. SDRAM DIMM modules have different pin contact on each side and therefore, have a higher pin density. Complete the following procedures to install DIMMs:

NOTE : Do not use memory modules with more than 24 chips per module.

Modules with more than 24 chips exceed the design specifications of the memory subsystem and will be unstable. The notch on the DIMM module will shift between left, center, or right to identify the type and also to prevent the wrong type from being inserted into the DIMM slot on the mainboard. Ask your retailer for the specifications before purchasing.

1. Locate the DIMM slots on the mainboard. (See figure below.)

Page 30

Installation Procedures

32Kx8

2. Install the DIMM straight down into the DIMM slot with both hands.

3. The clips of the slot will close up to hold the DIMM in place when the DIMM touches the slot’s bottom.

Remove DIMMs

Press the clips with both hands to remove the DIMM.

Cache Memory

The mainboard comes with onboard 512KB synchronous 3V Pipeline Burst SRAMs. Cache memory access is very fast compared to main memory access. The cache holds data for imminent use. Since cache memory is from five to more than ten times faster than main memory, the CPU’s access time is reduced, giving you better system performance.

Pentium mainboards may implement various types of L2 cache SRAMs. Pipeline Burst SRAM is one of them, delivering the best price performance ratio. They perform much better than asynchronous SRAMs.

NOTE: The cache memory is not user upgradeable.

Option 1: 512KB Cache SRAM

3). Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The CPU module resides in a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Socket 7 on the mainboard that is backwards compatible with ZIF Socket 5 processors. The CPU that came with the mainboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case then purchase a fan before turning on the system. Apply thermal jelly to the CPU top and then install the fan onto the CPU.

NOTE : Without a fan circulating air on the CPU and heat sinks, the CPU

and/or heat sinks can overheat and cause damage to both the CPU and the mainboard.

Page 33

PAK-2005 Mainboard Manual

SocketWithoutCPUSocketWithCPU

CAUTION: Always turn the system power off before installing or removing any

device. Always observe static electricity precautions. See “Handling Precautions” at the start of this manual. Inserting the CPU chip incorrectly may damage the chip.

To install the CPU, first turn off the system and remove its cover before doing the following:

1. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle.

2. Handle the chip by its edges and try not to touch any of the pins.

3. Place the CPU in the socket. The chip has a notched corner with the white dot to correctly orient the chip. Align the notch with pin one of the socket by pointing the white dot towards the end of the lever. Pin one is located in the blank triangular area where one hole is missing from that corner of the square array of pin holes. Do not force the chip as the CPU has a corner pin for three of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the one orientation. With the added weight of the CPU fan, the CPU should slide easily into the socket.

4. Once completely inserted, hold down on the fan and swing the lever to the down position to lock the CPU in place.

5. See the following sections for information on the CPU jumpers settings.

NOTE : You must set jumpers for “CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio” and “CPU

External Clock (BUS) Frequency” depending on the CPU that you install.

Installation Procedures

4). Install Expansion Cards

NOTE : Before installing an expansion card, a riser card has to be installed in

the one available EISA slot (SL1). Make sure to unplug the power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the mainboard and expansion cards.

The mainboard features one 32-bit EISA Bus expansion slots.

This section describes how to connect a riser card to the system's expansion slot. A riser card is a printed circuit board that, when connected to the mainboard, allows you to install additional ISA/PCI expansion cards which increases the capabilities of the system. For example, an expansion card can provide video and sound capabilities.

CAUTION: Always turn the system power off before installing or removing any

device. Always observe static electricity precautions. See “Handling Precautions” at the start of this manual.

To install an expansion card, do the following:

1. Remove the computer chassis cover and locate the empty EISA expansion slot (SL1).

2. Holding the edge of the riser card, carefully align the edge connector with the

expansion slot.

Page 43

PAK-2005 Mainboard Manual

3. Push the riser card firmly into the slot. Push down on one end of the riser card, then the other. Use this “rocking” motion until the riser card is firmly seated inside the slot.

4. Read the expansion card documentation on any hardware and software settings

that may be required to setup the specific card.

5. Set any necessary jumpers on the expansion card.

6. Select an empty expansion slot on the riser card.

7. Holding the edge of the peripheral card, carefully align the edge connector with the expansion slot.

8. Push the card firmly into the slot. Push in on one end of the expansion card, then

the other. Use this “rocking” motion until the add-on card is firmly seated inside the slot. Make sure that the card has been placed evenly and completely into the expansion slot.

9. Replace the computer system’s cover.

10. Setup the BIOS if necessary.

11. Install the necessary software drivers for the expansion card. The photo below

shows an add-on card that was installed in a system.

[System with an add-on card Photo]

Page 44

Installation Procedures

Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards

Some expansion cards need to use an IRQ to operate. Generally an IRQ must be exclusively assigned to one use. In a standard design there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use by parts of the system which leaves 6 free for expansion cards.

Currently, there are two types of ISA cards. The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as “Legacy” ISA cards, requires that you configure the card’s jumpers manually and then install it in any available slot on the ISA bus. You may use Microsoft’s Diagnostic (MSD.EXE) utility included in the Windows directory to see a map of the used and free IRQs. For Windows 95 users, the “Control Panel” icon in “My Computer” contains a “System” icon which gives you a “Device Manager” tab. Double clicking on a specific device gives you a “Resources” tab which shows the Interrupt number and address. Make sure that no two devices use the same IRQs or the computer will experience problems when two devices are in use at the same time.

To simplify this process the mainboard has complied with the Plug and Play (PnP) specification which was developed to allow automatic system configuration whenever a PnP-compliant card is added to the system. For PnP cards, IRQs are assigned automatically from those available. For older Legacy cards that does not work with the BIOS, contact your vendor for an ISA Configuration Utility.

Assigning DMA Channels for ISA Cards

Some ISA cards, both Legacy and PnP may also need to use a DMA (Direct Memory Access) channel. DMA assignments for the mainboard are handled the same way as the IRQ assignment process described above. You can select a DMA channel in the PnP configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility.

Page 45

PAK-2005 Mainboard Manual

5). Connector Cables and Power Supply

Connectors

NOTE : Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are

clearly separated from jumpers. Placing jumper caps over these will cause damage to the mainboard.

Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the connectors are labeled on the mainboard. Pin 1 is the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and floppy drives. IDE ribbon cable must be less than 18in. (46cm), with the second drive connector no more than 6in. (15cm) from the first connector.

Connectors allow the mainboard to link electronically with other parts of the system. Some malfunctions encountered may be caused by loosed or improper connections. Ensure that all connections are in place and firmly attached.

Floppy Diskette Drive Connector (34-pin block): FLOPPY

This 34-pin block connector connects to your floppy disk drive using the cable that is provided with this mainboard. After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs on the other end to the floppy drives. Pin 5 is removed to prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 5 plugged.

Infrared Connector: IR

Installation Procedures

This 10-pin male connector is used for connecting to the infrared (SIR/FIR) port and allows the data transaction with another system which also supports the SIR/FIR feature.

Serial Port Connectors (Two 9-pin Male): COM1, COM2

(for mainboard with onboard COM1 and COM2 ports)

These two connectors allow you to connect with devices that take serial ports, such as a serial mouse or a modem. Usually, it is recommended to connect the serial mouse to COM1 and the fax/modem to COM2. Because COM2 and IR utilizes the same IRQ, COM2 will not work if an IR device is connected to the IR connector.

Installation Procedures

IDE HDD Device Connector (Two 40-pin Block): PRIMARY, SECONDARY

These two 40-pin block connector are used for your IDE hard disks. If you have one IDE hard disk, connect it to the PRIMARY connector using the IDE HDD flat cable provided with the mainboard. The BIOS auto detection sets it to be a “Primary Master” disk. If you want to install another IDE hard disk or CD-ROM drive, please use the SECONDARY connector. If two hard disks are connected to PRIMARY connector using the same cable, one of them is the master drive, the other one is the slave drive. You may need to set jumpers for the slave drive; please refer to the hard disk drive manual for details. Pin 20 is removed to prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged.

You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters using one ribbon cable to the primary IDE connector and another ribbon cable on the secondary IDE connector. You may install one operating system on an IDE drive and another on a SCSI drive and select the boot disk through the BIOS Setup.

CPU Fan Connector: CHASIS FAN, CPU_FAN

These connectors support cooling fans of 500mAMP (6WATT) or less. Orientate the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go accross the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while the black wire should be ground. Connect the fan’s plug to the board taking into consideration the polarity of the connector. Either one is connected to the CPU fan. CHASIS FAN causes the CPU fan to be activated only when a set temperature is reached. CPU_FAN causes the CPU fan to be activated upon booting the system – for as long as the system is on, irrespective of CPU temperature.

NOTE : The CPU and/or mainboard will overheat if there is no airflow across

the CPU and onboard heatsinks. Damage may occur to the mainboard and/or CPU fan if these pins are incorrectly used. These are not jumpers, do not place jumper caps over these pins.

Chapter 3

Setting BIOS Feature

All computer mainboards provide a Setup utility program for specifying the system configuration and settings. If the mainboard came in a computer system, the proper configuration entries may have already been made. If you are installing the mainboard or reconfiguring the system or if you receive a Run Setup message, you will need to enter new setup information.

The mainboard comes with the Award BIOS chip that contains the ROM Setup information of the system. This chip serves as an interface between the processor and the rest of the mainboard's components. This chapter explains the information contained in the Setup program and tells you how to modify the settings according to the system configuration.

A Setup program built into the system BIOS, is stored in the CMOS RAM. This Setup utility program allows changes to the mainboard configuration settings. It is executed when user changes system configuration; user changes system backup battery; or the system detects a configuration error and asks the user to run the Setup program. At power-on RAM testing, the message Press <Delete> key to enter Setup appears. If you are a little bit late pressing the mentioned key, POST (PowerOn Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from calling up Setup. If you still need to call Setup, reset the system by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys, or by pushing the Reset button on the system case. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on again. But do so only if the first two methods fail. Use the arrow keys to select and press <Enter> key to run the selected program.

Page 59

PAK-2005 Mainboard Manual

Main CMOS Setup

When you run Setup, the CMOS SETUP UTILITY main program screen will appear with the following options:

A section at the bottom of the above screen displays the control keys for this screen. Take note of these keys and their respective uses. Another section just below the control keys section displays information on the currently highlighted item in the list.

Load Defaults

The “Load BIOS Defaults” option loads the minimized settings for troubleshooting. “Load Setup Defaults” on the other hand, is for loading optimized defaults for regular use. Choosing defaults at this level will modify all applicable settings.

Standard CMOS Setup

The “Standard CMOS Setup” option allows you to record some basic system hardware configuration and set the system clock and error handling. If the mainboard is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option anymore. However, if the configuration stored in the CMOS memory on the mainboard gets lost or damaged, or if you change the system hardware configuration, you will need to re-specify the configuration values. The configuration values usually get lost or corrupted when the power of the onboard CMOS battery weakens.

Specifications for SCSI hard disks need not be entered here since they operate using device drives and are not supported by any BIOS. If you installed a SCSI controller card, please refer to their respective documentations on how to install the required SCSI drivers.

For an IDE hard disk drive setup, you can:

• Use the Auto setting for detection during bootup.

• Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION in the main menu to automatically enter

the drive specifications.

• Enter the specifications yourself manually by using the “User” option.

The entries for specifying the hard disk type include CYLS (number of cylinders), HEAD (number of read/write heads), PRECOMP (write precompensation), LANDZ (landing zone), SECTOR (number of sectors) and MODE. The SIZE field automatically adjusts according to the configuration you specified. The documentation that comes with the hard disk should provide you with the information regarding the drive specifications.

The MODE entry is for IDE hard disks only, and can be ignored for MFM and ESDI drives. This entry provides three options: Normal, Large, LBA, or Auto. Set MODE to the Normal for IDE hard disks smaller than 528MB; set it to LBA for drives over 528MB that support Logical Block Addressing (LBA) to allow large IDE hard disks; set it to Large for drives over 528MB that do not support LBA. Large type of drives can only be used with MS-DOS and is very uncommon. Most IDE drives over 528MB support the LBA mode.

Auto Detection of Hard Disks on Bootup

For each field: Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master, and Secondary Slave, you can select Auto under the TYPE and MODE fields. This will enable auto detection of your IDE drives during Bootup. This will allow you to change your hard drives (with the power off) and then power on without having to reconfigure your hard drive type. If you use older hard drives which do not support this feature, then you must configure the hard drive in the standard method as described above by the “User” option.

NOTE : After the IDE hard disk information has been entered into BIOS, new

IDE hard disks must be partitioned (such as with FDISK) and then formatted before data can be read from and write on. Primary IDE hard drives must have its partition set to active (also possible with FDISK).

Up to four IDE drives can be detected, with parameters for each listed inside the box. To accept the optimal entries, press the <Y> key or else select from the numbers displayed under the OPTIONS field; to skip to the next drive, press the <N> key. If you accept the values, the parameters will appear listed beside the drive letter on the screen. The process then proceeds to the next drive letter. Pressing the <N> key to skip rather than to accept a set of parameters causes the program to enter zeros after that drive letter.

Remember that if you are using another IDE controller that does not feature Enhanced IDE support for four devices, you can only install two IDE hard drives. The IDE controller must support the Enhanced IDE features in order to use Drive E and Drive F.

When auto-detection is completed, the program automatically enters all entries you accepted on the field for that drive in the Standard CMOS Setup screen. Skipped entries are ignored and are not entered in the screen.

If you are auto-detecting a hard drive that supports the LBA mode, three lines will appear in the parameter box. Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive. Do not select Large or Normal.

The auto-detection feature can only detect one set of parameters for a particular IDE hard drive. Some IDE drives can use more than one set. This is not a problem if the drive is new and there is nothing on it.

NOTE : If your hard drive was already formatted on an older previous system,

incorrect parameters may be detected. You will need to enter the correct parameters manually or use low-level format if you do not need the data stored on the hard drive.

If the parameters listed differ from the ones used when the drive was formatted, the drive will not be readable. If the auto-detected parameters do not match the ones that should be used for your drive, do not accept them. Press the <N> key to reject the presented settings and enter the correct ones manually from the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
