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 the lithium battery" chapter.

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.

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

Silent Fan

A micro controller developed by Fujitsu Siemens Computers monitors and controls the fans in the PC and thus prevents any unnecessary noise annoyance. Should the processor become in spite of full turning ventilator too hot, then the processor clock rate will automatically be reduced so that the system continues to run stably. The microcontroller operates independently of the operating system and the processor. Therefore the micro controller protects your PC reliably against overheating and loss of data or even damage of the processor. In addition, the microcontroller offers monitoring of, for example, system voltages (12 V, 5 V, CMOS), opening of the case and a watchdog function.

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.

Harddisk Password

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

For up to four hard disks one password each can be assigned in the BIOS-Setup (e. g. for up to four different users).

Additional information is contained in the "BIOS Setup" manual.

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".

riser card.

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 involved devices and their drivers must support IRQ sharing.

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.

Replacing the 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 holder exists in different designs that function in the same way.

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!

► Press the locking lug in the direction of the arrow; the battery jumps somewhat out of the

holder (1).

► Remove the battery (2).

► Insert a new lithium battery of the same type into the socket (3).

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.com.

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. ► Plug an external USB floppy disk drive or a configured removable USB medium

(e.g. Memorystick) on.

► Insert an empty floppy disk (1.44 MB) (for external floppy disk drive only). ► Run the update file (e.g. 1944103.EXE). ► A bootable update floppy disk is created. Leave this floppy disk in the drive. ► Restart the PC. ► Follow the instructions on screen.

Detailed information on the BIOS update under DOS is provided in the manual on "BIOS

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. In the Readme file in the subfolder DeskFlash you will find the installation instructions for DeskFlash.

The BIOS recovery has now been completed. The system restarts.

Detailed information on the BIOS recovery is contained in the manual "BIOS Setup"

("Drivers & Utilities" CD).

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. ► Plug an external USB floppy disk drive or a configured removable USB medium

(e.g. Memorystick) on.

► Insert an empty floppy disk (1.44 MB) (for external floppy disk drive only). ► Run the update file under DOS (e.g. 1944101.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 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.

F1 key in the BIOS Setup.

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

Drivers

Only when no drivers are installed on your system, or you want to update these, proceed as follows:

► Insert the CD "Drivers & Utilities Collection" into the CD-ROM drive. ► If the CD does not start automatically, run the START.EXE programme in the main directory of

the CD. ► Select DeskUpdate - Fully automatic installation. ► Follow the instructions on screen.
