1.5. INTRODUCE THE PCI - BUS

Connecting devices to a CPU local bus can dramatically increase the speed of I/Obound peripherals with only a slight increase in cost over traditional systems.

This price / Performance point has created a vast market potential for local bus products.

The main barrier to this market has been the lack of an accepted standard for local bus peripherals.

Many mainboard and chipset manufactures developed their own local bus implementations, but they are incompatible with each other.

The VL (Video Electronics Standards Association) local bus and PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus specification was created to end this confusion.

The PCI - bus standard, under development since Jun. 1992, which is designed to bring workstation-level performance to standard PC platform. The PCI - bus removes many of the bottlenecks that have hampered PC for several years.

On the PCI - bus, peripherals operate at the native speed of the computer system, thus enabling data transfer between peripherals and the system at maximum speed.

This performance is critical for bandwidth-constrained devices such as video, multimedia, mass storage, and networking adapters.

PCI - bus standard provides end-users with a low-cost, extendible and portable local bus design, which will allow system and peripherals from different manufactures to work together.

1.6. FEATURES

q 32 bits bus transfer mode. q Bus Master or Slave access. q Memory burst transfer to 132 MB/sec. q 33 MHz operation speed. q 10 device loading ability. q CPU independent.

1.7. What is AGP

The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports graphics display interface. The main purpose of the AGP port is to provide fast access to system memory.

The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs. 32-bits at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and side band addressing. When the 2x-data rate is used the port can transmit data at 533Mb/sec (66.6*2*4). The read-queue can be used to pipeline reads – removing the effects of the reads-latency. Side band addressing can be used to transmit the data address on a separate line in order to further speed the transaction.

3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION

3.1. UNPACKING

The mainboard package should contain the following:

• The 5AA mainboard.

• USER’ S MANUAL for mainboard.

• Cable set for IDE ¡B Floppy ¡B I/O Port & PS/2 mouse (Optional).

• CD for Mainboard Drivers and Utilities.

The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed.

Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point

as the anti-static mat. Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may

cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damage on the board before proceeding.

After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for damage.

Press down on all of the socket IC’ s to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this only on with the board placed on a firm flat surface.

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.

It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a standard AT mainboard mounting. Place the chassis on the anti-static mat and remove the cover.

Take the plastic clips, Nylon stand-off and screws for mounting the system board, and keep them separate.

3.4. SRAM INSTALLATION

Sync. SRAM (Pipeline Burst SRAM)

If Sync SRAM Chip is installed, it consists of Pipeline Burst 1 Pc 64 K x 64 512KByte.

3.5. DRAM INSTALLATION

The mainboard can be installed with 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 MB 168 pins DIMM module DRAM, and the DRAM speed must be 67~100 MHz for SDRAM. The DRAM memory system on mainboard consists of bank 0, 1 & bank 2. Because the 168 pins DIMM module is 64 bits width, using 1 PCS which can match a 64 bits system. The total memory size is 16 MB ~ 256 MB DRAM. The DRAM installation position refer to Figure 3.1, and notice the Pin 1 of DIMM module must match with the Pin 1 of DIMM socket. Insert the DRAM DIMM module into the DIMM

Page 15

socket at Vertical angle. If there is a wrong direction of Pin 1, the DRAM DIMM module couldn't be inserted into socket completely.

3.6. CPU INSTALLATION AND JUMPERS SETUP

The system speed depends on the frequency of CLOCK GENERATOR. The user can change SW selection to set up the system speed to 66 / 75 /83 /95 100MHz for

3.3V/2.5V Pentium Processor (133 / 166 / 200 MHz) ;MMX(166 / 200 / 233 MHZ) , AMD K6-(166 / 200 / 233 / 266 / 300 ; K6-2(266 / 300 / 333 / 350 / 366 / 380 / 400 / 450 / 475 / 500 / 550) ; K6-III(400 / 450 / 475 / 500 / 550) , Cyrix / IBM 6x86MX (PR166 / PR200 / PR233 / PR266 ) ; M¢º- PR300 / PR333 / PR366 / PR400 ; IDT Winchip 2-(200 / 225 / 233 / 266 / 300) ; IDT Winchip 3-(266) ; RISE MP6-(266). The mainboard can use Pentium Processor, MMX , AMD-K6, AMD-K6-2, AMD-K6III, Cyrix / IBM 6x86MX, Cyrix M¢º, IDT Winchip 2, IDT Winchip 3, RISE MP6 CPU, and the CPU speed must match with the frequency of CLOCK GEN. It will cause system hanging up if the CLOCK GEN.'S frequency is faster than CPU's.

The CPU is a sensitive electric component and it can be easily damaged by static electricity, so users must keep it away from metal surface when the CPU is installed onto mainboard.

When the user installs the CPU on socket, please notice that the PIN 1 of CPU is in the same corner as the PIN 1 of socket!

M Before the CPU is installed, the mainboard must be placed on a flat plane

in order to avoid being broken by the pressure of CPU installation.

3.7. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM

Built-in Real Time Clock (RTC) With 256B CMOS SRAM in M5819.

3.8. SPEAKER CONNECTOR INSTALLATION

There is a speaker in AT system for sound purpose. The 4 - Pins connector SPK is

Page 17

5AA

3-8

used to connect speaker. The speaker can work well in both direction of connector when it is installed to the connector SPK on mainboard.

3.9. ACPI LED CONNECTOR INSTALLATION

This mainboard uses the existing power LED as ACPI LED .The ACPI LED will light on when system is power-on .The ACPI LED is off when the system is power-off. The ACPI LED will blink when system is in Green mode.This connector should be installed to ACPI LED jumper of the mainboard in correct direction.

3.10. HARDWARE RESET SWITCH CONNECTOR INSTALLATION

The RESET switch on panel provides users with HARDWARE RESET function which is almost the same as power-on/off. The system will do a cold start after the RESET switch is pushed and released by user. The RESET switch is a 2 PIN connector and should be installed to RES on mainboard.

3.11. GREEN FUNCTION INSTALLATION

There is one jumper for the purpose of power saving, GN, to indicate the power saving function . This mainboard uses the existing power LED as ACPI LED . If the ACPI LED is blinking, the system is in green mode. The GN switch will force the system into green mode .

3.12. PERIPHERAL DEVICE INSTALLATION

After installation of the device and setup of the jumpers, the mainboard can be mounted into the case and fixed by screw. To complete the mainboard installation, the peripheral devices could be installed now. The basic system needs a display interface card and a storage device. If a PCI - Bus device is to be installed in the system, any one of three PCI - Bus slots can be used for Slave or Master PCI - Bus device. After installing the peripheral device, the user should check everything again and prepare to power-on the system.
