Mainboard D1520

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!

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.

i

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
from your sales outlet or the customer service centre.

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.

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.

Special technical features – special features

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

Thermal Management and System Monitoring

A microcontroller developed by Fujitsu Siemens Computers reliably protects your PC
against damage caused by overheating. Overheating can lead to the data loss or
processor damage. An ingenious fan control and monitoring system prevents
unnecessary noise. Should the processor nevertheless become too hot at the
maximum fan speed, then the processor clock rate will automatically be reduced so
that the system continues to run stably. In addition, the microcontroller offers
monitoring of, for example, system voltages (12 V, 5 V, CMOS), opening of the case
and a watchdog function.
The microcontroller operates independently of the operating system and the processor.
All values are displayed with DeskView, DeskViewOEM or SystemGuard.

You can reduce the noise resulting when the hard disk is accessed to a barely
perceptible level. The resulting power decrease is approx. 10-20% depending on the
hard disk.

A password assignment for the hard disk is only possible with suitable, newer hard
disks and prevents unauthorised access to the stored data.

Silent Mode and Harddisk Password are activated in the BIOS Setup. Additional
information is contained in the "BIOS Setup" manual.

Mainboard D1520

Logo Boot

A customer-specific logo can be displayed during system booting. The logo is loaded
using the LogoFlash tool. The logo can have a size of 640 x 480 pixels with 16 colours.
The tool is provided on the CD "Drivers & Utilities" or "Drivers & Utilities enhanced" or
is available on the Internet at http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/mainboards.

DeskView / DeskViewOEM

The network-capable manageability software DeskView/DeskViewOEM* mainly consists
of three modules:

• DeskInfo shows the most important device data of the PCs in a network (local

and/or on an administrator PC).

• DeskAlert monitors the operability of all major components and triggers alarms if

necessary depending on the mainboard variant.

• DeskFlash carries out a BIOS update under Windows.

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".

IA-PC

Instantly Available PC ensures fast availability of the PC from an energy-saving mode.

Within just a few seconds the PC is in exactly the same state it was in when it was
switched off without time-consuming booting. Depending on the operating system, the
PC can be switched into an energy-saving mode with applications open by pressing
the ON/OFF switch.

Brief instructions on installing mainboard

Brief instructions on installing mainboard

If you have purchased a separate mainboard, you can install the mainboard in your system in
accordance with the following brief instructions.

The activities described here assume a basic knowledge of PCs and cannot be carried out by a
layperson. If you are not sure whether you have the necessary specialised knowledge, then leave
this work to an expert.

The illustrations of the system show examples of possible cases.

Prior to installation

Ê Please take note of the safety information in the "Important notes " chapter.

Ê Check whether the processor, memory modules and power supply are suitable for this

mainboard:

− (see "Installing and removing processors" chapter).

− (see "Upgrading main memory" chapter).

− (see "Electrical Properties" chapter).

Ê Make sure the current requirement of the fans (processor, case) does not exceed the loadability

of the fan connections (see chapter entitled "Electrical Properties").

Ê First only install the components absolutely necessary (graphics card, processor and heat sink,

one memory module) and only connect the required connections (power supply unit, case
connections such as ATX on/off switch, hard disk or floppy disk drive). You should not install
additional cards and devices until this minimum configuration successfully boots (see chapter
entitled "Add-on modules / Upgrading").

Installation

Ê Equip the mainboard with the processor, heat sink and memory modules before installation if

possible. Further information can be found in "Installing and removing processors" chapter.

Ê Open the casing as described in the

operating manual.

Brief instructions on installing mainboard

Ê Should no suitable connection field be

provided in the case, then you must
install the connection field (1) provided.

Ensure the plate is aligned properly so that
the connections are suitable for the
mainboard later.

Ê 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.

Ê Fasten the mainboard with the screws.

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

connections on the mainboard.

Driver installation

Ê Install the drivers for the chipset. You may find the driver on the "Drivers & Utilities" CD. Please

refer to chapter "Drivers" for a description of installing drivers.
