Description

The CI5VGM is a Pentium Indu strial C PU card based on the V IA MVP3
chipset and is fully designed for harsh industrial environment. It features
a Socket 7 processor connector that is compatible with Pentium-level
processors from Intel, Cyrix, AMD and IDT. With three DIMM sockets
on board, this card accommodates up to 384MB of system memory.

The CI5VGM comes with Winbond’s W83781D hardware monitoring
device that monitors system and CPU temperature, system voltages, and
CPU and chassis fan speeds to prevent system crashes by warning the
user of adverse conditions. The power management feature provides
power savings by slowing down the CPU clock, turning off the moni t or
screen and stopping the HDD spindle motor.

CPU Installation

The CI5VGM Industrial CPU Card supports a ZIF processor socket for
Pentium-level processors.

Unlike PGA sockets, ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) sockets come with a
lever to secure the processor. Make sure the notch on the corner of the
CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket.

After you have installed the processor into the ZIF socket, check if the
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct.

NOTE:

Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in
total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.

can come in sizes of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB in EDO DRAM or
SDRAM type.

In populating the DIMM sockets, DIMM1, DIMM2 or DIMM3 can be
populated first. Refer to the following table on how to configure the
memory.

Chapter 3 BIOS Configuration

BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel Pentium II processors in a
standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical
low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial and
parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as
special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the
entire system.

BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system conf ig u ration s an d s ettin g s. The BIOS ROM of th e system stores
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is
immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you
to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing th e <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,
resta rt the system by preor simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will
appear on the screen:

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and
<Esc> to quit.

When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup
functions and exit choices.

that your computer cannot boot, the Awar d BIOS supports an

provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability.

Standard CMOS Setup

“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system
clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a
working system , you will not need to select this option. You will need to
run the Standard CMOS option, however, i f you c hange your system
hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration
stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

Primary HDDs / Secondary HDDs

The onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary
channels for connecting up to four I DE hard disks or other IDE devices.
Each channel can support up to two hard disks; the first is the “Master”
and the second is the “Slave”.

To enter the specifications for a hard disk drive, you must select first a
“Type”. There are 45 predefined types an d 4 u s er def in able types are for
Enhanced IDE BIOS. Type 1 to 45 are predefined. Type “User” is
user-definable. For the Primary Master/Slave as well as Secondary
Master/Slave, you can select “Auto” under the TYPE and MODE fields.
This will enable auto detection of your IDE drives and CD-ROM drive
during POST.

Press <PgUp>/<PgDn> to select a numbered hard disk type or type the
number and press the <Enter> key. The hard disk will not work properly
if you enter incorrect information for this field. If your hard disk drive

CPU Internal Cache / External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have
additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the
system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to
enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By
default, these items are Enabled.
