Important notes

With the mainboard installed y ou m ust open the system to access the mainboard. How to dismantle
and reassemble the system is described in the operating manual accompanying t he 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 l ead to a risk of explosion. It is therefore
essential to observe t he i nstructions in the "Add-on m odul es / 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!

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

Compliance was tested in a t ypical PC configuration.

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

i

from your sales outlet or the customer service centre.

Information about mainboards

To prevent damage to the mainboard, the c omponents and conductors on it, pl ease take great care
when you insert or remove boards. Take great care to ensure that extension boards are slotted in
straight, without damagi ng components or conductors on the m ai nboard, or any other components,
for example EMI spring c ontacts.

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, f or example memory modules or proces sors.

Never use sharp objects (s crewdrivers) for leverage.

Boards with electrost at i c sensitive devic es (ESD) are identifiable by the l abel shown.
When you handle boards fitted with E SDs, you must, under all circumstances,

observe the following:

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

before working.

• The equipment and tools you us e m ust be free of static c harges.

• Remove the power plug from the mai ns supply before inserting or removing

boards containing ESDs.

• Always hold boards wit h ESDs by their edges.

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

Mounting heat sink

Be sure to use heat conducting material between the processor and t he heat sink. If a heat
conducting pad (rubber-like foil) i s already applied to the heat sink , then use it. Otherwise y ou m ust
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 cl ean i t and
apply new heat conducting past e before you remount it.

Ê Depending on the configuration variant,

you must pull a protecti ve foil off the heat
sink or coat the heat si nk with a very thin
layer of heat conducting pas te before
fitting it.

Ê Depending on the processor variant, clips

may also be supplied for mount i ng t he heat
sink that fix it in place.

Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firml y attached.

Permanent damage will result!

Upgrading AGP screen controllers

Technical data:

The AGP slot supports t he m odes 1x/2x/4x with 32bit s and 66MHz. Only 1.5V AGP screen
controllers are supported.

Some older 3.3V AGP screen controllers are coded like 1.5V AGP screen controllers. The
installation of suc h 3.3 V AGP screen controllers can cause serious damage to the

i

mainboard and the AGP screen cont rol l er.

Ê Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before ins talling the expansion card

into the computer.

Ê Remove your computer’s chassis cover, necessary screws and slot bracket from the computer.
Ê Press the expansion card firmly int o the expansion slot.
Ê Be sure the metal contacts on the card are i ndeed seated in the slot.
Ê Replace the screw to secure the slot brac ket of the expansion card.
Ê Replace your computer’s chassis cover.
Ê Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BI OS utility of expansion card from BIOS .
Ê Install related driver from the operating system.

Please carefully pull out the small whitedrawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when you
try to install/ uni nstall the AGP card. Please align the AGP card to the onboard AG P slot

!

and press firmly down on the s l ot . Make sure your AGP card is locked by the small
whitedrawable bar.

3.3 V auxiliary voltage

PCI bus interrupts - Selecting correct PCI slot

To achieve optimum stability, performanc e and compatibility, avoid the multiple use of I S A
IRQs or PCI IRQ Lines (IRQ shari ng). Should IRQ sharing be unavoidable, then all

i

involved devices and t hei r dri vers must support IRQ sharing.

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 assi gned to the PCI IRQ Lines is normally automatically spec i fied by the BIOS
(see description in "BI O S Setup").

Monofunctional expansions cards:

Standard AGP and PCI expansion cards require a maximum of one interrupt, which is called the P CI
interrupt INT A. Expansi on cards that do not require an interrupt can be i nstalled in any desired slot.

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 doc um entation provided with the card.

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

PCI INT LINE USB 2.0 LAN (optional) AC97 Audio AGP PCI slot

#1 #2 #3

1 (A) - - - A DCB
2 (B) - - B A DC
3 (C) - AA-BA D
4 (D) A ---CBA

Use the first PCI s l ot s that have a single PCI IRQ Li ne (no I RQ sharing). If you must us e anot her
PCI slot with IRQ shari ng, check whether the expansion c ard properl y supports IRQ sharing with the
other devices on this PCI IRQ Line. The drivers of all cards and components on this PCI I RQ Line
must also support IRQ shari ng.

Add-on modules / Upgrading

Replacing lithium battery

In order to permanently save t he system information, a lithium battery is installed to provide the
CMOS-memory with a current. A corresponding error message notifi e s 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 l ead to a risk of explosion!

!

The lithium battery may be repl aced only with an identical battery or with a type
recommended by the manufactu rer.

Do not throw lithium batteries into the household waste. They m ust 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!

The lithium battery holder exi sts in different designs that function in the sam e way.

The category identifies t he types of hard disk from driv e C to F that has been installed in the
computer. There are two types: aut o type, and manual type.

Manual: type is user-defi nabl e;
Auto: will automatically detect HDD t ype.
Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work

properly if you enter improper information for this category.
If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items.

Ê Enter the information directly from t he keyboard and press <Enter>.

Such information should be prov i ded i n the documentation form your hard dis k vendor or the system
manufacturer.

If it is set to enable, a warning will flash on the screen when there is any attempt t o writ e to the boot

BIOS Setup

Memory

The category is display-onl y and is determined by POST (Power On S el f Test) of the BIOS.
Base

Memory

Other
Memory

Extended
Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory
installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K for systems
with 512K memory instal l ed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640 K or
more memory installed on the m otherboard.

This refers to the memory l ocated in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load
device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most us e
for this area is Shadow RAM.

The BIOS determines how much ex tended memory is present during the POST. This
is the amount of memory l ocated above 1MB in the CPU's m emory address map.
