Motherboard Features

Real-Time Clock

The motherboard has a time-of-day clock and 100-year calendar that will rollover to 2000 at the turn of the century. A battery on the motherboard keeps the clock current when the computer is turned off.

NOTE

✏

The recommended method of accessing the date in systems with Intel motherboards is indirectly from the Real-Time Clock (RTC) via the BIOS. The BIOS on Intel motherboards and baseboards contains a century checking and maintenance feature that checks the least two significant digits of the year stored in the RTC during each BIOS request (INT 1Ah) to read the date and, if less than 80 (i.e., 1980 is the first year supported by the PC), updates the century byte to 20. This feature enables operating systems and applications using the BIOS date/time services to reliably manipulate the year as a four-digit value.

For information about Refer to

Proper date access in systems with Intel motherboards

http://support.intel.com/support/year2000/paper.htm

USB Support

The motherboard has two USB ports. You can connect two USB peripheral devices directly to the computer without an external hub. To attach more than two devices, connect an external hub to either of the built-in ports. The motherboard supports the standard universal host controller interface (UHCI) and takes advantage of standard software drivers written to be compatible with UHCI.

For information about Refer to

The location of the USB ports Figure 12, page 46 USB legacy support in the BIOS

NOTE

✏

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for a high-speed USB device.

BIOS Setup Program Modes

The BIOS Setup program has three modes of operation:

• Normal mode for normal operations

• Configure mode for clearing passwords (page 31 tells how to clear passwords)

• Recovery mode for recovering the BIOS data

The BIOS Setup program operating mode is controlled by the setting of the configuration jumper block J7H1 (see Figure 15 on page 49). The jumper is set to normal mode at the factory.

Table 3 shows jumper settings for the different Setup modes.

Creating a Bootable Diskette

NOTE

✏

If your drive A is an LS-120 diskette drive, you must use a 1.44-MB diskette as the bootable BIOS upgrade diskette. The computer is unable to recover a BIOS from an LS-120 diskette.

Create a Bootable Diskette (using a DOS system to create the bootable diskette)

• Place an unformatted diskette in the diskette drive and format the diskette using the /S option.

Example:

• Alternatively, place a formatted diskette in the diskette drive and use the "sys" command.

Example:

Create a Bootable Diskette (using a non-DOS system to create the bootable diskette)

• Double click on the file ‘MK_BOOTZ.EXE’ (which is located inside the self-extracting BIOS

file). This will create a 'README.TXT' file.

Follow the directions in the ’README.TXT’ file.

How to Recover the BIOS

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS upgrade; however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. The following steps explain how to recover the BIOS if an upgrade fails. The following procedure uses recovery mode for the BIOS Setup program. See page 25 for more information on Setup modes.

NOTE

✏

Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the screen during this procedure. Monitor the procedure by listening to the speaker and looking at the diskette drive LED.

1. Turn off the computer, disconnect the computer’s power cord, and disconnect all external

peripherals.

2. Remove the computer cover and locate the BIOS Setup program configuration jumper (see

Figure 15 on page 49).

Installation Precautions

When you install and test the motherboard, observe all warnings and cautions in the installation instructions.

To avoid injury, be careful of:

• Sharp pins on connectors

• Sharp pins on printed circuit assemblies

• Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis

• Hot components (like processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks)

• Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing to qualified technical personnel.

WARNING

Do not open the power supply. Risk of electric shock and burns from high voltage and rapid overheating. Refer servicing of the power supply to qualified technical personnel.

Installation Instructions

CAUTION

Follow these guidelines to meet safety and regulatory requirements when installing this board assembly.

Read and adhere to all of these instructions and the instructions supplied with the chassis and associated modules. If the instructions for the chassis are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for associated modules, contact the supplier’s technical support to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements. If you do not follow these instructions and the instructions provided by chassis and module suppliers, you increase safety risk and the possibility of noncompliance with regional laws and regulations.

Regulatory and Integration Information

Ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Before computer integration, make sure that the power supply and other modules have passed EMC testing using a motherboard with a processor from the same family and operating at the same (or higher) speed as the processor on this motherboard.

In the installation instructions for the host chassis, power supply, and other modules pay close attention to the following:

• Certifications

• External I/O cable shielding and filtering

• Mounting, grounding, and bonding requirements

• Keying connectors when mismating of connectors could be hazardous

If the power supply and other modules have not passed applicable EMC testing before integration, EMC testing must be conducted on a representative sample of the newly completed computer.

Ensure Chassis and Accessory Module Certifications

Make sure that the chassis, any added subassembly, such as a board or drive assembly, and internal or external wiring, are certified for the region(s) where the end-product will be used. Marks on the product are proof of certification. Certification marks are as follows:

In Europe

The CE marking signifies compliance with all relevant European requirements. If the chassis does

not bear the CE marking, obtain a supplier’s Declaration of Conformity to the appropriate standards required by the European EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive. Other directives, such as the Machinery and Telecommunications Directives, might also apply depending on the type of product. No regulatory assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally or wiring used externally when provided with appropriate overcurrent protection. Appropriate protection is provided by a maximum 8-A current limiting circuit or a maximum 5-A fuse or positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor. All Intel motherboards now have PTCs on all external ports that provide DC power externally.

In the United States

A certification mark by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as UL, CSA, or ETL signifies compliance with safety requirements. External wiring must be UL Listed and suitable for the intended use. Internal wiring must be UL Listed or Recognized and rated for applicable voltages and temperatures. The FCC mark (Class A for commercial or industrial only or Class B for residential) signifies compliance with electromagnetic interference requirements.

In Canada

A nationally recognized certification mark such as CSA or cUL signifies compliance with safety requirements. No regulatory assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally or wiring used externally when provided with appropriate overcurrent protection. Appropriate protection is provided by a maximum 8-A current limiting circuit or a maximum 5-A fuse or positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor. All Intel motherboards now have PTCs on all external ports that provide DC power externally.

BI440ZX Motherboard Product Guide

Prevent Power Supply Overload

Unless the power supply has inherent overcurrent protection, do not overload the power supply output. To avoid overloading the power supply, make sure that the calculated total current load of all the modules within the computer is less than the output current rating of the power supply. If you do not do this, the power supply could overheat, catch fire, or damage the insulation that separates hazardous AC line circuitry from low-voltage user accessible circuitry. If the load drawn by a module cannot be determined by the markings and instructions supplied with the module,

contact the module supplier’s technical support.

Place Battery Marking on the Computer

There is insufficient space on this motherboard to provide instructions for replacing and disposing of the battery. The following warning must be placed permanently and legibly on the chassis as near as possible to the battery.

WARNINGS

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace with only the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of

used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Use Only for Intended Applica tions

This motherboard was evaluated for use in computers that will be installed in offices, homes, schools, computer rooms, and similar locations. The suitability of this product for other applications, (such as medical, industrial, alarm systems, and test equipment) might require further evaluation.
