Suspend To RAM Installation

IV. Suspend to RAM Installation A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering from STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.

A.2 STR function Installation

Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.

Step-By-Step Setup Step 1:

To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.

Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.

There are two ways to accomplish this:

1. Setup with Windows 98 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and

then Run.

B. Type (without quotes)

enter key or click OK.

(In Windows 98 second edition version, all the bios version dated 12/01/99 or later are ACPI compatible. Just type" D:\Setup", the operating system will be installed as ACPI mode).

C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system (This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

“D:\setup /p j”

in the window provided. Hit the

BX2000+

2. Update from Windows98 APM mode:

If your Windows 98 system is in APM mode, use the following steps to update your system to ACPI mode.

1. When Windows 98 finishes loading, open the “Control Panel” in Windows 98 “My Computer” area.

2. Double click the “System” item.

Suspend To RAM Installation

3. Select the “Device Manager” tab and then the “System Devices” item.

Double click the “Plug and Play BIOS” item or select “Properties”

4. Select the “Driver” item and “Update Driver”

BX2000+

5. The “Update Device Driver Wizard” will appear.

Press the “Next” button

6. In the “Update Device Driver Wizard” window, select the “Display a list of all the drivers in a specific location, so you can select the driver you want.” Then press the “Next” button “

Suspend To RAM Installation

7. Select the “Show all hardware” item → then select the “Advance Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS” and press the “Next” button.

8. “Update Driver Warning” will show up and ask “Are you sure you want to use this driver?” Select the “Yes” button.

BX2000+

9. “Update Device Driver Wizard” will show up again. Select the “Next” button and start copying files to the system.

10. When complete, press the “Finish” button.

11. Restart your computer. Your system will start up using the ACPI mode.

B. Double click the “ Power Management” item.

BX2000+

C. Select the “Advanced” tab and “Standby” mode in Power Buttons.

Step 4:

Restart your computer to complete setup. Now when you want to enter STR sleep mode, just momentarily press the

“Power on” button..

A.4 How to recover from the STR sleep mode?

There are six ways to “wake up” the system:

1. Press the “Power On” button

2. Use the “Keyboard Power On” function.

3. Use the “Mouse Power On” function

4. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function

5. Use the “Modem Ring On” function

6. Use the “Wake On LAN” function.

STR LED Connector

A.5 Notices & Limitations:

1. In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and software

requirements must be satisfied: A. Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification

(provide more than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current). B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100 compliant.

2. Jumper JP16 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Your chassis may not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your system is in STR sleep mode.

A. What is Dual BIOS Technology?

Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the

motherboard, one is the Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while the system is powered on. This means that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing has happened in your BIOS.

DualBIOS

GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system BIOS. This newest “Value- added” feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on GA-BX2000+ motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation.

Technology FAQ

What’s DualBIOSTM?

On GIGABYTE motherboards with DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For simplicity we’l l call one your “Main BIOS” and the other we’l l call your “Backup” BIOS (your “hot spare”). If your Main BIOS fails, the Backup BIOS almost automatically takes over on your next system boot. Almost automatically and with virtually zero down time! Whether the problem is a failure in flashing your BIOS or a virus or a catastrophic failure of the Main BIOS chip, the result is the same - the Backup BIOS backs you up, almost automatically.

Introduce Dual BIOS

I. Q: What is DualBIOSTM technology? Answer:

DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOSTM technology simply means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS. The mainboard will operate normally with the main BIOS, however, if the main BIOS is corrupt or damaged for various reasons, the backup BIOS will be automatically used when the system powered-On. Your PC will operate as before the main BIOS was damaged, and is completely transparent to the user.

II. Q: Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOSTM technology? Answer:

In today’s systems there are more and more BIOS failures. The most common reasons are virus attacks, BIOS upgrade failures, and/or deterioration of the BIOS (ROM) chip itself.

1. New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system BIOS. They may corrupt your BIOS code, causing your PC to be unstable or even not boot normally.

2. BIOS data will be corrupted if a power loss/surge occurs, or if a user resets the system, or if the power button is pressed during the process of performing a system BIOS upgrade.

3. If a user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file, then the system may not be able to boot correctly. This may cause the PC system hang in operation or during boot.

4. A flash ROM's life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics. The modern PC utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS, and is updated regularly. If a user changes peripherals often, there is a slight chance of damage to the flash ROM.

With Giga-Byte Technology’s patented DualBIOSTM technology you can reduce the possibility of hangs during system boot up, and/or loss BIOS data due to above reasons. This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills cause by BIOS failures.

BX2000+

III. Q: How does DualBIOSTM technology work? Answer:

1. DualBIOSTM technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot

up procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment.

2. DualBIOSTM provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS

used during boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible. In the DualBIOSTM utility, the "Auto Recovery" option will guarantee that if either the main BIOS or backup BIOS is corrupted, the DualBIOSTM technology will use the good BIOS and correct the wrong BIOS automatically.

3. DualBIOSTM provides manual recovery for the BIOS. DualBIOSTM

technology contains a built-in flash utility, which can flash your system BIOS from backup to main and/or visa versa. There is no need for an OS-dependent flash utility program.

4. DualBIOSTM contains a one-way flash utility. The built-in one-way flash

utility will ensure that the corrupt BIOS is not mistaken as the good BIOS during recovery and that the correct BIOS (main vs. backup) will be flashed. This will prevent the good BIOS from being flashed.

IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOSTM technology? Answer:

1. Every user should have DualBIOSTM technology due to the advancement of

computer viruses. Everyday, there are new BIOS-type viruses discovered that will destroy your system BIOS. Most commercial products on the market do not have solutions to guard against this type of virus intrusion. The DualBIOSTM technology will provide a state-of-the-art solution to protect your PC: Case I.) Vicious computer viruses may wipe out your entire system BIOS. With a conventional single system BIOS PC, the PC will not be functional until it is sent for repairs. Case II.) If the "Auto Recovery" option is enabled in the DualBIOSTM utility, and if a virus corrupts your system BIOS, the backup BIOS will automatically reboot the system and correct the main BIOS. Case III.) A user may override booting from the main system BIOS. The DualBIOSTM utility may be entered to manually change the boot sequence to

boot from the backup BIOS.

Introduce Dual BIOS

BX2000+

2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOSTM detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOSTM technology examines the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly.

3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard. The benefit is being able to select either version BIOS to suit the performance system needs.

4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOSTM utility, the option can be set, "Halt On When BIOS Defects," to be enabled to halt your system with a warning message that the main BIOS has been corrupted. Most workstation/servers require constant operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation, the "Halt On When BIOS Defects" message may be disabled to avoid system pauses during normal booting. Another advantage you gain from Giga-Byte’s DualBIOSTM technology is the ability to upgrade from dual 2 Mbit BIOS to dual 4 Mbit BIOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.

1.6 What is AGP?

The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports an AGP port. 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 speed up the transaction.

Inspect the main board carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board before proceeding.

After opening the main board 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.

3.4. DRAM INSTALLATION

The main board can be installed with 8 / 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 MB 168 pins DIMM module DRAM, and the DRAM speed must be 67~100 MHz for SDRAM when system bus speed is set to 66MHz. When system bus speed is set to 100MHz, 100MHz SDRAM is required. The DRAM memory system on main board consists of bank 0, 1, 2 & bank 3.

Since 168 pins DIMM module is 64 bits width, therefore 1 piece of DIMM module may match a 64 bits system. The total memory size is 8 MB ~1GB SDRAM. 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 socket at Vertical angle. If there is a wrong direction of Pin 1, the DRAM DIMM module could not be inserted into socket completely.

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 sy stems 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 K; 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 64 K 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 K to 1024 K 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.
