System Board Features

Microprocessor

The system board supports one or two Pentium II Xeon 400 or 450 MHz processors, 100 MHz host bus speeds, and L2 caches up to 1MB in size. The processor's VID pins automatically program the voltage regulator on the system board to the required processor voltage for the Boot (P0) Processor only.
A plug-in VRM must be used when adding an Application (P1) Processor. If a plug-in VRM is not used, then the L2 cache will be disabled.

Processor Packaging

Each processor is packaged in a single edge contact cartridge (S.E.C.C.). The cartridge includes the processor core, second-level cache, thermal plate, and back cover.
The processor connects to the system board through the Slot 2 connector, a 330-pin edge connector. When mounted in a Slot 2 connector, the processor is secured by a retention mechanism attached to the system board.

Second Level Cache

The second-level cache is located on the substrate of the S.E.C.C.. The ECC cache includes components totaling up to 1 MB in size. All onboard system memory is cacheable.

Processor Options

The following processor configuration options can be used:
A single 400 MHz processor installed in the boot processor slot (P0) and a terminator card installed in the application processor slot (P1). P0 is the Slot 2 connector closest to the middle of the board. See Figure 1 callouts F and G.
Dual 400 MHz processors. When using two processors, a voltage regulator module (VRM) must be installed.
A single 450 MHz processor installed in the boot processor slot (P0) and a terminator card installed in the application processor slot (P1).
Dual 450 MHz processors. When using two processors, a voltage regulator module (VRM) must be installed. See Figure 21, callout D for the location of the VRM connector.
If you are installing two processors, then the following values must be identical for both:
L2 cache size
Operating voltages
Processor speed
If the processor operating voltages for either VCC core or VCC L2 do not match, then the computer will not boot.
!
Use configure mode to set the processor speed if necessary.

System Board Features

Intel® 82093AA I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (IOAPIC)

The Intel® 82093AA I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (IOAPIC) provides interrupt management and incorporates both static and dynamic symmetric interrupt distribution across all processors in a multiprocessor system. The 82093AA IOAPIC features 24 interrupts as follows:
13 ISA interrupts
Four PCI interrupts
One Interrupt/SMI# rerouting
Two system board interrupts
One interrupt used for INTR input
Three general purpose interrupts
SCI BIOS supported steering

IDE Support

The system board has two independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces. These interfaces support PIO Mode 3, PIO Mode 4, ATAPI devices (e.g., CD-ROM), and Ultra DMA synchronous-DMA mode transfers. The BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and extended cylinder head sector (ECHS) translation modes. The BIOS automatically detects the IDE device transfer rate and translation mode.
The system board supports LS-120 diskette technology through its IDE interfaces. LS-120 diskette technology enables users to store 120 MB of data on a single, 3.5-inch removable diskette. LS-120 technology is backward compatible (both read and write) with 1.44 MB and 720 KB DOS-formatted diskettes and is supported by Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems.
The system board allows connection of an LS-120 compatible drive and a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive. If an LS-120 drive is connected to an IDE connector and configured as the A drive, and a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive is configured as a B drive, the standard diskette drive must be connected to the diskette drive cable's "A" connector (the connector at the end of the cable). The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device, if selected in the BIOS setup utility.

System Board Features

Real-Time Clock, CMOS RAM, and Battery

The real-time clock provides a time-of-day clock and a multicentury calendar with alarm features and century rollover.
The clock is compatible with DS1287 and MC146818 components and it supports 256 bytes of battery-backed CMOS RAM in two banks that are reserved for BIOS use.
The time, date, and CMOS values can be specified in the Setup program. The CMOS values can be returned to their defaults by using the Setup program.
An external coin-cell battery powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, then the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the computer is plugged in, then the 3 V standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery.
Power is supplied to the chassis intrusion circuit by the battery when no AC power is provided. Chassis intrusion will be detected when no AC power is available to the
i
system. If the switch is activated when no AC power is provided, then the drain on the battery is approximately 200 mA.
The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with 5 V applied.

Diskette Drive Controller

The diskette drive controller is software compatible with the DP8473 and N82077 diskette drive controllers and supports both PC-AT and PS/2 modes. In the Setup program, the diskette drive interface can be configured for the following diskette drive capacities and sizes:
360 KB, 5.25-inch
1.2 MB, 5.25-inch
720 KB, 3.5-inch
1.2 MB, 3.5-inch (driver required)
1.25/1.44 MB, 3.5-inch

How to Upgrade a Processor

If your system board has one microprocessor, then you can upgrade the computer by replacing this processor with a faster one or by installing an application processor.
i
If your system board has two microprocessors, then you can upgrade by replacing these processors with two faster processors.
If your operating system supports single processors only (such as Windows 95), then use the sequence of procedures listed under “Upgrading a Single Processor”.
If your operating system supports dual-processing capability (such as Windows NT or UNIX) and you will be running software programs that require additional processing power, then use the sequence of procedures listed under “Upgrading from Single to Dual Processors”.
If your computer has two microprocessors and you want more processing power, then use the sequence of procedures listed under “Upgrading Dual Processors”.
If you install only one processor on a system board, then it must go in the boot (P0) processor connector. In a single processor configuration, you must install a Termination Card in the empty application (P1) processor connector to ensure proper operation of the computer.

How to Replace the CR2032 Lithium Battery (M)

When your computer is turned off, a lithium battery maintains the current time-of-day clock and the current values in CMOS RAM.
The battery should last about seven years. When the battery begins to fail, it loses voltage; when the voltage drops below a certain level, the Setup program settings stored in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the battery with an equivalent one.
WARNING!
!
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
ATTENTION!
!
Il y a danger d'explosion s'il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie. Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du méme type ou d'un type recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au rébut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.

Using the BIOS Features

The system board uses an Intel/Phoenix BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be upgraded using a disk-based program.
The flash memory also contains the BIOS Setup Program (described in Chapter 3), Power-On Self Test (POST), Advanced Power Management (APM), the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Windows 98-ready Plug and Play code.
This system board supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected DRAM.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and the revision code. The initial production BIOS is identified as 4M4SG0X0.86E.

How to Prepare for the Upgrade

Before attempting to upgrade the BIOS, prepare for the upgrade process as follows:
Obtain the BIOS upgrade file
Record the current BIOS settings
Create a bootable floppy disk
Create the BIOS upgrade floppy disk

Obtaining the BIOS Upgrade File

Use the BIOS upgrade file to upgrade to a new version of the BIOS. The BIOS upgrade file is a compressed self-extracting archive that contains all the files you need to
upgrade the BIOS. The file contains the following elements:
New BIOS files
BIOS recovery files
Intel Flash Memory Update Utility You can obtain the BIOS upgrade file from the Intel World Wide Web site: http://www.intel.com.
Please review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS upgrade.
i
The Intel Flash Memory Update Utility allows you to:
Upgrade the BIOS in flash memory.

Plug and Play: PCI Autoconfiguration

The BIOS can be set to automatically configure PCI devices and Plug and Play devices. PCI devices may be onboard or add-in cards. Plug and Play devices are add-in cards built to meet the Plug and Play specification.
Autoconfiguration lets a user insert or remove PCI or Plug and Play cards without having to configure the system. When a user turns on the system after adding a PCI or Plug and Play card, the BIOS can automatically configure interrupts, the I/O space, and other system resources. Any interrupts set to Available in Setup are considered to be available for use by the add-in card.
PCI interrupts are distributed to available ISA interrupts that have not been assigned to an ISA card or to system resources. The assignment of PCI interrupts to ISA IRQs is dependent upon a number of factors including type and number of add-in cards, slot selection, and operating system.
Any change to the hardware or system software configuration can cause a change to the interrupt configuration of existing devices. PCI devices can share an interrupt, but an ISA device cannot share an interrupt allocated to PCI or to another ISA device. Autoconfiguration information is stored in the extended system configuration data (ESCD) format.
For information about the versions of PCI and Plug and Play supported by this BIOS, see Plug and Play Specification Version 1.0a, May 5, 1994, Compaq Computer Corp., Phoenix Technologies Ltd., Intel Corporation.

A26361-D1065-Z120-1-7619
Using the BIOS Features

ISA Plug and Play

If Plug and Play operating system is selected in Setup, then the BIOS autoconfigures only ISA Plug and Play and PCI cards that are required for booting (IPL devices). If Plug & Play OS is not selected in Setup, then the BIOS autoconfigures all Plug and Play ISA and PCI cards.
If Plug & Play OS is selected in Setup, then PCI or PnP add-in cards that are not required for booting will not be available unless they are initialized and assigned
i
resources by the operating system or other program.

ISA Legacy Devices

ISA legacy devices are not autoconfigurable, therefore the resources for them must be reserved in the Setup program or with an ISA configuration utility.

PCI IDE Support

If Auto is selected as a primary or secondary IDE device in Setup, then the BIOS automatically sets up the two local-bus IDE connectors with independent I/O channel support. The IDE interface supports PIO Mode 3, PIO Mode 4, and Ultra DMA hard drives and recognizes any ATAPI devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and LS-120 diskette drives.
The BIOS determines the capabilities of each drive and configures them so as to optimize capacity and performance. To take advantage of the high-capacity storage devices, hard drives are automatically configured for logical block addressing (LBA) and to PIO Mode 3, PIO Mode 4, or Ultra DMA depending on the capability of the drive.
To override the autoconfiguration options, use the specific IDE device options in Setup. The ATAPI specification recommends that ATAPI devices be configured as shown in Table 32.

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is an interface for managing computers in an enterprise environment. The main component of DMI is the management information format (MIF) database, which contains information about the computing system and its components such as system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components.
The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS stores and reports the following DMI information:
BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed
Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
OEMs can use a utility that programs flash memory so the BIOS can report on system and chassis information. This utility is available through Intel sales offices.
DMI does not work directly under non-Plug and Play operating systems (e.g., Windows NT 4.0). However, the BIOS supports a DMI table interface for such operating systems. Using this support, a DMI service-level application running on a non-Plug and Play OS can access the DMI BIOS information.

Advanced Power Management (APM)

The BIOS supports APM and standby mode. The energy saving standby mode can be initiated in the following ways:
Time-out period specified in Setup
From the operating system, such as the Suspend menu item in Windows 98
In standby mode, the system board reduces power consumption by using SMM capabilities, spinning down hard drives, and reducing power to or turning off VESA DPMS-compliant monitors. Power-management mode can be enabled or disabled in Setup.
While in standby mode, the system retains the ability to respond to external interrupts and service requests, such as incoming faxes or network messages. Any keyboard or mouse activity brings the system out of standby mode and immediately restores power to the monitor.
The BIOS enables APM by default; but the operating system must support an APM driver for the power-management features to work. Windows 98 supports the power management features upon detecting that APM is enabled in the BIOS.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. ACPI requires an ACPI-aware operating system. ACPI features include:
Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) and APM functionality normally contained in the BIOS
Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in boards may require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives
A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power off the computer
Support for multiple wake up events (see Table 32)
Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch. Table 31 describes the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system
Table 31. Effects of Pressing the Power Switch
If the system is in this state… …and the power switch is
pressed for
Off Less than four seconds Power on On Less than four seconds Soft off/Suspend On More than four seconds Fail safe power off Sleep Less than four seconds Wake up

System States and Power States

Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a low-power state.

Wake Up Devices and Events

The table below describes which devices or specific events can wake the computer from specific states. Sleeping states S4BIOS and S5 are the same for the wake up events.

Plug and Play

In addition to power management, ACPI provides controls and information so that the operating system can facilitate Plug and Play device enumeration and configuration. ACPI is used only to enumerate and configure system board devices that do not have other hardware standards for enumeration and configuration. PCI devices on the system board, for example, are not enumerated by ACPI.

BIOS Support

The BIOS supports both APM and ACPI. If the board is used with an ACPI-aware operating, the BIOS provides ACPI support. Otherwise, it defaults to APM support.

Language Support

Five languages are available: American English, German, Italian, French, and Spanish. The default language is American English unless another language is programmed into the BIOS using the flash memory update utility.
The BIOS includes extensions to support the Kanji character set and other non-ASCII character sets. Translations of other languages may become available at a later date.

OEM Logo or Scan Area

A 4 KB flash-memory user area at memory location FFFF8000h-FFFF8FFFh is for displaying a custom OEM logo during POST. A utility is available from Intel to assist with installing a logo into the flash memory. Contact Intel customer support for further information.

USB Legacy Support

USB legacy support enables USB keyboards and mice to be used even when no operating system USB drivers are in place. By default, USB legacy support is disabled and is only intended to be used in accessing BIOS Setup and installing an operating system that supports USB.
This sequence describes how USB legacy support operates in the default (disabled) mode.
1. When you power up the computer, USB legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. USB legacy support is temporarily enabled by the BIOS. This allows you to use a USB keyboard to enter the Setup program or the maintenance mode.
4. POST completes and disables USB legacy support (unless it was set to Enabled while in Setup).
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards and mice are not recognized. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, the USB devices are recognized.
To install an operating system that supports USB, enable USB Legacy support in BIOS Setup and follow the operating system's installation instructions. Once the operating system is installed and the USB drivers configured, USB legacy support is no longer used. USB Legacy Support can be left enabled in BIOS Setup if needed.
If USB legacy support is enabled, then do not mix USB and PS/2 keyboards and mice. For example, do not use a PS/2 keyboard with a USB mouse, or a USB keyboard and a
i
PS/2 mouse. Do not use USB devices with an operating system that does not support USB. USB
legacy is not intended to support the use of USB devices in a non USB operating system. USB legacy support is for keyboards and mice only. Hubs and other USB devices are
not supported.

BIOS Security Features

The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program and who can boot the computer. An administrator password and a user password can be set for the Setup program and for booting the computer using options on the Security Menu (see Figure 13) following restrictions:
Password Modes
If in Administrator Mode, then the administrator password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup options in the Setup Program.
If in User Mode, then the user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the Setup Program.

Recovering BIOS Data

Some types of failure can destroy the BIOS. For example, the data can be lost if a power outage occurs while the BIOS is being updated in flash memory. The BIOS can be recovered from a diskette using the BIOS recovery mode
To create a BIOS recovery diskette, a bootable diskette must be created and the recovery files copied to it. The recovery files are available from Intel. Contact Intel customer support for further information.
If the computer is configured to boot from an LS-120 diskette), then the BIOS recovery diskette must be a standard 1.44 MB diskette, not a 120 MB diskette.

Reset Switch

Pins 5 and 6 can be connected to a momentary SPST type switch that is normally open. When the switch is closed, then the system board resets and runs the POST.

Power/Sleep LED

These pins can be connected to a multicolor LED that lights when the computer is powered on or in sleep mode. The possible states for this LED are:
If state = OFF, then Power is OFF. If state = GREEN, then Power is ON. If state = YELLOW, then in Sleep Mode.

Hard Drive Activity LED

These pins can be connected to an LED to provide a visual indicator that data is being read from or written to an IDE or SCSI hard drive, as well as add-in cards that provide an activity signal. For the LED to function properly, the IDE drive must be connected to the onboard IDE controller. This LED will also show activity for devices connected the the hard drive LED header.

Infrared Port

Serial Port 2 can be configured to support an IrDA module connected to the front panel infrared connector. After the IrDA interface is configured, files can be transferred to or from portable devices such as laptop computers, PDAs, and printers using application software.

Power Switch

Pins 26 and 27 can be connected to a front panel power switch. Because of debounce circuitry on the system board, the switch must pull the SW_ON# pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off. At least two seconds must pass before the power supply will recognize another on/off signal.
When BIOS is active, the power switch is recognized immediately. When BIOS is not active (POST, system lock-up) then the power switch is only recognized if held in for four
i
seconds.
If you need to turn off the computer during POST, then hold the power switch in for four seconds; otherwise the computer will not switch off.

Keyboard and Mouse Interface

PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are located on the back panel (see Figure 15/Callouts A and B). The 5V lines to these connectors are protected with a PolySwitch circuit that, like a self­healing fuse, reestablishes the connection after an over-current condition is removed.
The mouse and keyboard can be plugged into either of the PS/2 connectors. Power to the computer should be turned off before a keyboard or mouse is connected or
i
disconnected.
The keyboard controller contains the AMI Megakey keyboard and mouse controller code, provides the keyboard and mouse control functions, and supports password protection for power on/reset. A power on/reset password can be specified in Setup.
The keyboard controller also supports the hot-key sequence <Ctrl><Alt><Del> for a software reset. This key sequence resets the computer's software by jumping to the beginning of the BIOS code and running the Power-On Self Test (POST).

Thermal Considerations

Figure 20 shows the locations of the thermally-sensitive components. Table 47 lists the maximum component case temperatures for system board components that could be sensitive to thermal changes. Case temperatures could be affected by the operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency. Maximum case temperatures are important when considering proper airflow to cool the system board.
