Important notes

With the mainboard installed you must open the system to access the mainboard. How to dismantle
and reassemble the system is described in the operating manual accompanying the system.

Connecting cables for peripherals must be adequately shielded to avoid interference.

Observe the safety notes in the operating manual of your system.

!

Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion. It is therefore
essential to observe the instructions in the "Add-on modules / Upgrading" - "Replacing
lithium battery" section.

Components can become very hot during operation. Ensure you do not touch
components when making extensions to the mainboard. There is a danger of burns!

Information about boards

To prevent damage to the mainboard, the components and conductors on it, please take great care
when you insert or remove boards. Take great care to ensure that extension boards are slotted in
straight, without damaging components or conductors on the mainboard, or any other components,
for example EMI spring contacts.

Remove the plug from the mains outlet so that system and mainboard are totally disconnected from
the mains voltage.

Be careful with the locking mechanisms (catches, centring pins etc.) when you replace the
mainboard or components on it, for example memory modules or processors.

Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.

The shipped version of this board complies with the requirements of the EEC directive
89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility".

Compliance was tested in a typical PC configuration.
When installing the board, refer to the specific installation information in the manual for

the receiving device.

The warranty is invalidated if the system is damaged during the installation or
replacement of expansions. Information on which expansions you can use is available

i

from your sales outlet or the customer service centre.

Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the label shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all circumstances,

observe the following:

• You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a grounded object)

before working.

• The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.

• Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing

boards containing ESDs.

• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.

• Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

Mainboard D1450

Special technical features – special features

Your mainboard is available in different configuration levels. Depending on the configuration, your
mainboard is equipped with or supports the features described in the following.

Silent Drives

Hard disks and optical drives (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD etc.) are besides the fans
some of the greatest sources of noise in a PC. The BIOS-Setup can be used to switch
these drives into a quieter mode.

Recovery BIOS

If an error occurs during a BIOS update (e. g. due to a power failure), the system
BIOS will be destroyed. All Fujitsu Siemens Computers mainboards are equipped with
a recovery BIOS. With it a destroyed BIOS can easily be restored. Exact instructions
are provided in the chapter "BIOS Recovery - Recovering System BIOS".

DeskUpdate

DeskUpdate enables simple, automatic driver installation. The function is available
both on the CD "Drivers & Utilities" and on the Internet.

Multi Boot

The BIOS of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers mainboards enables booting from all
types mass storage devices. In addition to IDE hard disks, this also includes optical
drives, such as CD-ROM, DVD and external drives that can be connected to USB or
FireWire.

USB Security

USB Security is a BIOS function that offers protection against unauthorised access
regardless of the operating system used. If USB Security is activated, the system can
only be started, if the MemoryBird of Fujitsu Siemens Computers is connected to one
of the existing USB-ports.

the connections are suitable for the
mainboard later.

► Set the mainboard on the edge on

which the connection field is located (2)
and then insert the board in the
case (3).

Make sure that spacers in the housing are
only mounted at points at which there are
mounting holes in the mainboard.

► Fasten the mainboard with the screws.

► Connect the plugs for the power supply, control panel and drives to the corresponding

connections on the mainboard.

Add-on modules / Upgrading

Mounting heat sink

Be sure to use heat conducting material between the processor and the heat sink. If a heat
conducting pad (rubber-like foil) is already applied to the heat sink, then use it. Otherwise you must
apply a very thin layer of heat conducting paste.

Heat conducting pads can only be used once. If you remove the heat sink, you must clean it and
apply new heat conducting paste before you remount it.

Please note that, depending on the heat sink used, different heat sink mounts are required on the
mainboard.

If a counter-plate is mounted on the underside of the mainboard for reinforcement, no
heat sinks of the type "Intel Boxed" may be used. Otherwise the retaining clips of the heat

i

sink will be damaged.
When using an "Intel Boxed" heat sink, the mainboard must be converted. This

conversion set is either included with the mainboard or is available separately.
If no counter-plate is mounted, you can use both "Intel Boxed" heat sinks and standard

heat sinks. If you use the "Intel Boxed" heat sink, the mainboard will bend due to the high
pressure of the retaining clips. This behaviour is specified by Intel.

► Depending on the configuration variant, you

must pull a protective foil off the heat sink or
coat the heat sink with heat conducting paste
before fitting it.

► Depending on the processor variant, clips

may also be supplied for mounting the heat
sink that fix it in place.

► When you have mounted the optional fan,

connect the fan plug to the corresponding
connection on the mainboard.

PCI bus interrupts - Selecting correct PCI slot

PCI IRQ Lines connect AGP slots, PCI slots and onboard components to the interrupt controller.
PCI IRQ Lines are permanently wired on the mainboard.

Which ISA IRQs are assigned to the PCI IRQ Lines is normally automatically specified by the BIOS
(see description in "BIOS Setup").

Monofunctional expansions cards:

Standard AGP and PCI expansion cards require a maximum of one interrupt, which is called the PCI
interrupt INT A. Expansion cards that do not require an interrupt can be installed in any desired slot.

To achieve optimum stability, performance and compatibility, avoid the multiple use of
ISA IRQs or PCI IRQ Lines (IRQ sharing). Should IRQ sharing be unavoidable, then all

i

involved devices and their drivers must support IRQ sharing.

Multifunctional expansion cards or expansion cards with integrated PCI-PCI bridge:

These expansion cards require up to four PCI interrupts: INT A, INT B, INT C, INT D. How many and
which of these interrupts are used is specified in the documentation provided with the card.

The assignment of the PCI interrupts to the PCI IRQ Lines is shown in the following table:

Onboard controller

PCI INT

7 (G) - - - - - - - - - - - D
8 (H) - - - A - - - A - - - -

Use the first PCI slots that have a single PCI IRQ Line (no IRQ sharing). If you must use another
PCI slot with IRQ sharing, check whether the expansion card properly supports IRQ sharing with the
other devices on this PCI IRQ Line. The drivers of all cards and components on this PCI IRQ Line
must also support IRQ sharing.

Replacing lithium battery

In order to permanently save the system information, a lithium battery is installed to provide the
CMOS-memory with a current. A corresponding error message notifies the user when the charge is
too low or the battery is empty. The lithium battery must then be replaced.

Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion!

!

The lithium battery may be replaced only with an identical battery or with a type
recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not throw lithium batteries into the household waste. They must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.

Make sure that you insert the battery the right way round. The plus pole must be on the
top!

BIOS update

When should a BIOS update be carried out?

Fujitsu Siemens Computers makes new BIOS versions available to ensure compatibility to new
operating systems, new software or new hardware. In addition, new BIOS functions can also be
integrated.

A BIOS update should always also be carried out when a problem exists that cannot be solved with
new drivers or new software.

Where can I obtain BIOS updates?

The BIOS updates are available on the Internet at www.fujitsu-siemens.de/mainboards.

How does a BIOS update work?

You have two ways of doing this:

1. BIOS update under DOS with bootable BIOS update floppy disk - brief description

► Download the update file from out website to your PC.
► Insert an empty floppy disk (1.44 MB).
► Run the update file (e.g. 1450103.EXE).

A bootable update floppy disk is created. Leave this floppy disk in the drive.

► Restart the PC.
► Follow the instructions on screen.

2. BIOS update under Windows with DeskFlash utility

A BIOS update can also be carried out directly under Windows with the DeskFlash utility. DeskFlash
is located on the "Drivers & Utilities" CD (from CD version 2001.05 with DeskView
Readme file in the subfolder DeskFlash you will find the installation instructions for DeskFlash. Further
information on DeskFlash is provided in the DeskView.PDF file and in the DeskView

Detailed information on the BIOS update under DOS is provided in the manual on "BIOS
Setup" ("Drivers & Utilities" CD).

► Open the casing as described in the operating manual.
► Set the switch for "Restore system BIOS" to ON.
► Close the casing as described in the operating manual.
► Insert a BIOS update floppy disk and start the PC.
► Note the signals issued from the loudspeaker. You have successfully restored the BIOS if you

hear the signal sequence "short-short- long- long- long" and the diskette access indicator is
dark. This can take a few minutes.

► Open the casing as described in the operating manual.
► Set the switch for "Restore system BIOS" to OFF.
► Close the casing as described in the operating manual.
► Remove the floppy disk from the drive.
► Start the PC and invoke BIOS Setup.
► Select the menu item Reset Configuration in the menu Advanced and change the setting to Yes.

Microcode Update

What is a microcode update?

As there are no drivers for processors, Intel offers the possibility from the P6 family (Pentium Pro)
on to update the command set (microcode) of the processor. This enables minor errors to be
corrected and the performance to be increased.

To guarantee the best possible performance and error-free operation, Intel recommends updating
the microcode regularly. Intel refers to the use of the processor without regular microcode updates
as operation outside the specifications.

Safety for processor on Fujitsu Siemens Computers mainboards

If the processor uses an old or incorrect microcode, error-free operation cannot be ensured. Fujitsu
Siemens Computers has therefore implemented a function on its mainboards that interrupts the
booting process if no suitable microcode is available for the installed processor. The output error
message is:

Patch for installed CPU not loaded. Please run the bios flash update
diskette.

This message appears until the microcode update has been carried out. If the computer is
nevertheless operated without a microcode update, error-free operation is not ensured.

When should a microcode update be carried out?

A microcode update should be carried out in the following cases:

• Following installation of a new processor

• When a new microcode update is issued.

In contrast to the BIOS update, only an updated version of the processor command set is stored.
The system BIOS remains unaffected by this.

Microcode update under DOS with bootable microcode update floppy disk - brief description

► Download the update file from out website to your PC.
► Insert an empty floppy disk (1.44 MB).
► Run the update file under DOS (e.g. 1495101.EXE).
► A bootable update floppy disk is created. Leave the floppy disk in the drive.
► Restart the PC.
► Follow the instructions on screen.

To determine whether the latest microcode update has been loaded, the so-called Patch-ID of the
processor can be read out.

► Press the F1 key in the BIOS Setup.
The entry CPU / Patch ID is shown on the displayed information page.
A list with the current processors and the related Patch-IDs is available on the Internet.

If the processor is not recognised, you also require the microcode update tool for
processors of the P6 family.
