Handling Precautions

Warning

Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on the

mainboard. Before handling any mainboard outside of its protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge in your body.

2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by‘the manufacturer

3. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Observe the following basic precautions when handling the mainboard or other computer components:

Wear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is connected to a natural earth ground.

Touch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a water pipe.

Avoid contacting the components on add-on cards, boards and modules and with the “gold finger” connectors plugged into the expansion slot. It is best

to handle system components by their mounting bracket. The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged properly.

PT-2010 Mainboard Manual

This User Manual

This manual is designed to guide you and facilitate your use of the PT-2010 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:

n Chapter 1

Overview

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

Chapter 2 - Installation Procedures

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

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 material in this manual is 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.

Page 11

Overview

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.

The BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is the basic firmware that instructs the computer 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 is in 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.

Page 12

PT-2010 Mainboard Manual

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 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.

Both ISA and

PC1

add-on cards may need to use

IRQs.

System

IRQs

are available to add-on cards installed on the ISA bus first; the remaining ones can be used by cards installed on the

PC1

bus. There are two categories of ISA add- on cards: so-called Legacy ISA cards, which need to be configured manually and then installed in any 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. In the case of

PC1

add-on cards, the

BIQS

automatically

assigns an IRQ card to the

PC1

slot the card is installed in.

Page 13

Overview

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 of over

1.2GB

and

faster data transfer rates utilizing the PI0 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.

PT-2010 Mainboard Manual

Serial Infrared (SIR) Connections

This mainboard features support for highly-sophisticated SIR 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 a SIR 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, as shown in the illustration below.

SDRAM is an advanced new memory technology that boosts overall system

performance with its ability to synchronize all operations with the processor

clock signal.

#This

makes the implementation of control interfaces easier, and speeds up column access time. SDRAM features an on-chip burst counter that can be utilized to increment column addresses for very fast burst accesses, which means that SDRAM allows new memory accesses to be initiated before the preceding access has been finished.

Before making DRAM module 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.

Cache Memory

Cache memory access is very fast compared to main memory access. The cache holds data for imminent use. Since cache memory is 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.

The specification of the SRAM module requires Intel Coast Standard version

3.X, such as

FIG’s PB512K-3.0.

The PT-2010 comes with

onboard 256/5

12KB synchronous 3V Pipeline Burst

SRAMs, and one optional

256/5

12KB SRAM module

(FIG’s PBS 12K-3.0

recommended) that can be installed on the SRAM module slot.

NOTE :

Use

the correct chips for the amount of cache memory you want to

add. Install both the correct SRAM module and

tag

SRAM.

socket on the

mainboard.

CAUTION :

1. 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, do the following:

Lift the lever on the side of the CPU socket.

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

Place the CPU in the socket. The chip has a notch to correctly orientate the chip. Align the notch with pin one of the socket. Pin one is located in the blank triangular area. Do not force the chip. The CPU should slide easily into the socket.

Swing the lever to the down position to lock the CPU in place.
