Introduction
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

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.
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.
M
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.

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.
M
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.
M
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.
♦Note: It’s strongly recommended that set the system speed according to your
hardware configuration: CPU, SDRAM, Cards, etc.
♦Note: If Cyrix 6x86 is being used, please check the CPU Date Code after 605.
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
3-7
Page 56
5AA
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.
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.

capacity.
2.88M, 3.5 in.3-1/2 inch double-sided drive; 2.88 megabyte
capacity.
•Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test)
of the BIOS.
Base 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 512 K for systems with 512 K
memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K
or more memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during
the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's
memory address map.

Expanded Memory
Expanded Memory in memory defined by the Lotus / Intel / Microsoft
(LIM) standard as EMS.
Many standard DOS applications can not utilize memory above 640, the
Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) swaps memory which not
utilized by DOS with a section, or frame, so these applications can
access all of the system memory.
Memory can be swapped by EMS is usually 64K within 1 MB or
memory above 1 MB, depends on the chipset design.
Expanded memory device driver is required to use memory as
Expanded Memory.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640 to 1024 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 use for this area is Shadow
RAM.
