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

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.

Add-on modules / Upgrading

Adding PCI cards

Technical data: 32 bit / 33 MHz PCI slot s

5 V and 3.3 V supply voltage

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

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 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 first PCI slots that have a single PCI I RQ Li ne (no IRQ sharing). If you must use another PCI slot with IRQ sharing, c heck 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 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.

Ê Press the locking lug in the directi on of the arrow; the battery jumps s om ewhat out of the

holder (1).

Ê Remove the battery (2). Ê Insert a new lithium battery of the sam e type into the socket (3).

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.

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.
