Chapter 1SYSTEM BOARD
1.1MAINBOARD FEATURES ................................................................. 3
The DESKPOWER 2000 is a high-performance computer based on Intel® 810
chipset. The board is designed for the Intel
inexpensive business/personal desktop markets.
The Intel ® 810 chipset is the first generation Integrated Graphics chipset for the
®
Intel
CeleronTM processor. The graphics accelerator architecture consists of
dedicated multi-media engines executing in parallel to deliver high performance
3D, 2D, and motion compensation video capabilities. An integrated centralized
memory arbiter allocates memory bandwidth to multiple system agents to
optimize system memory utilization. A new chipset component interconnect, the
hub interface, is designed into the Intel 810 chipset to provide an efficient
communication channel between the memory controller hub and I/O hub
controller.
®
CeleronTM (PPGA) processor for
The Intel
®
810 chipset contains three core components: the Graphics and Memory
Controller Hub (GMCH/GMCH0), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH0/ICH) and the
Firmware Hub (FWH). The GMCH integrates a 66/100MHz, P6family system bus
controller, integrates 2D/3D graphics accelerator, 100MHz SDRAM controller and
high-speed hub interface for communication with the ICH0/ICH. The ICH0/ICH
integrates an Ultra ATA/33(ICH0) or Ultra ATA/66(ICH) controller, USB host
controller, LPC interface controller, FWH interface controller, PCI interface
controller, AC’97 digital controller and a hub interface for communication with the
GMCH/GMCH0.
The Intel
®
82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) component is par t of the Intel® 810 chipset.
The FWH is key to enabling future security and manageability infrastructure for the
PC platform.

1. Turn off the system power and all the peripherals connected to the unit before
opening it.
2. Open the system according to the instructions in the housing installation
manual.
3. Follow the ESD precautions in Section 1.4.1 before handling a system
component.
4. Remove any expansion boards or peripherals that block access to the DIMM
sockets or CPU socket.
5. See the following sections for specific instructions on the component you wish
to install.
12
Do not attempt the procedures described in the following section
unless you are a qualified service technician.
1.6.3POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Observe the following after installing a system component:
1. See to it that the components are installed according to the step-by-step
instructions in their respective sections.
2. Make sure you have set all the required jumpers. See Section 1.6 for the
correct jumper settings.

37
•SDRAM CAS latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS
latency depends on the DRAM timing. The settings are: 2 and 3.
•SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle. The settings are: 5/7 and
6/8.
•SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe
signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives
faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field
applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The settings are: 2 and 3.
•SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its
charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM
may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more
stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is
installed in the system. The settings are: 2 and 3.
•System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh,
resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this
memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and
Disabled.
•Video BIOS Cacheable
Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS , resulting in better system
performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system
error may result. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
•Memory Hole At 15M-16M
You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this
area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that
need to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory
requirements. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
38
•Delayed Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay
transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI
specification version 2.1. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
•On-Chip Video Window Size
Select the on-chip video window size for VGA driver use. The settings are:
32MB, 64MB, Disabled.

The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with suppor t for
two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate each channel separately. The
settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
•IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4)
for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE inter face suppor ts.
Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased per formance. In Auto
mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.
The settings are: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4.
•IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it
and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a
third-par ty IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software
both support Ultra DMA/33 and Ultra DMA/66, select Auto to enable BIOS
support. The settings are: Auto, Disabled.
•USB Controller
Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller
and you have USB peripherals. The settings are: Enabled, Disabled.
•USB Keyboard Suppor t
Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller
and you have a USB keyboard. The settings are: Enabled, Disabled.

ECP+EPP
To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard
Parallel Port only, choose “SPP.” To operate the
onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously,
choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”, the onboard parallel
port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP +
EPP” will allow the onboard parallel port to support
both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously. The ECP
mode has to use the DMA channel, so choose the
onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After
selecting it, the following message will appear: “ECP
Mode Use DMA” At this time, the user can choose
between DMA channels 3 or 1. The onboard parallel
port is EPP Spec. compliant, so after the user chooses
the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the
following message will be displayed on the screen:
“EPP Mode Select.” At this time either EPP 1.7 spec. or
EPP 1.9 spec. can be chosen.
•PWRON After PWR-FAIL
This option will determine how the system will power on after a power failure.
The setting are: Former-sts (Formar states), ON and OFF
•Game Port Address/Midi Port Address
This will determine which Address the Game Por t/Midi Por t will use.
•Midi Port IRK setting are IRK5 or IRK10
• Power Status LED
This item determines which state the Power LED will use. The settings are
Blinking, Dual, and Single. During blinking, the power LED will blink when the
system enters the suspend mode. When the mode is in Dual, the power LED
will change its color. Choose the single and the power LED will always remain
lit.

the center of the screen to assist you in creating a
password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS
memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again
and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not
enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every
time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from
changing any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to
request a password ever y time your system is rebooted. This would prevent
unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup
Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “Sys-tem”, the
password will be required both at boot and at entr y to Setup. If set to “Setup”,
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
