Section 1 Introduction

1-1 How To Use This Manual

This manual provides information necessary for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to build a PC-AT compatible system using the Pentium PCI motherboard. For the end-users, this manual is a good reference to understand and properly use the motherboard. Section 1 gives an overview of the SQ599 all-in-one motherboard. Section 2 guides user through configuration and installation. Section 3 provides the information for the system setup procedure. Section 4 provides the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) firmware related information. Section 5 provides the VGA software driver installation procedure.

1-2 Overview

The Pentium PCI motherboard is designed by SiS 5511/5512/5513 chipset which is developed by SiS. The SiS chipset provides an integrated IDE controller with two enhanced PCI IDE interfaced up to four devices. The Winbond W83787F supports super I/O function and floppy. The I/O provides two enhanced UART 16C550 fast serial ports and one parallel port with EPP/ECP capability.

The motherboard supports Write-Back cache, which can be 256KB/512KB/1MB, and Pipeline Burst cache to provide workstation level computing performance. A Pentium OverDriveTM socket provides access to future performance enhancements, and SIMM sockets support 8MB of system memory up to 128MB DRAM or EDO RAM.

The SQ599 motherboard supports the 75/90/100/120/133/150/166/200MHz Pentium CPU as well as the Cyrix 6x86 line. It can be upgrade by P55C CPU.

Section 3 System Setup

This section provides the information for the system setup procedure and also briefs the setup procedures for system BIOS.

3-1 SYSTEM SETUP

The system BIOS supports an internal ROM-based system setup utility. When the first time you power up the system, the system CMOS memory contains incorrect configuration information and the BIOS prompts you to get into the SETUP utility. The system requires correct configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. The SETUP utility will guide you to properly configure the system in a simple and straightforward way. A typical setup procedure is as follows:

1. Properly install the system. A basic system should include at least

- the SQ599 motherboard with CPU and cooler installed

- a standard AT case with power supply

- an AT compatible keyboard

- the floppy driver and hard disk

- the monitor

- minimum one SIMM module with total 8MB memory

2. Turn the system power on.

3. The system BIOS will run Power-On-Self-Test(POST). When the test is

completed, the system prompts you to go through the system SETUP utility. You can ignore the prompt if system setup has been configured correctly.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the SETUP utility to

- Set Date and Time

- Select correct floppy disk type and number

- Select correct hard disk type and number

- Set the advanced features if necessary

5. Exit the SETUP utility when done

6. System starts to reboot.

SQ599

7. The system should have correct configuration information by now and should have no problem booting up the operating system from floppy or hard disk. If not, check the peripheral types, memory size and connections and go through the SETUP utility again.

3-2 PCI Device Setup

PCI device setup allows user to allocate IRQs and specify IRQ's sensitivity for PCI and ISA devices. Follow the on-screen setup instructions and refer to the manual provided with the PCI device for proper installation.

SECTION 4 BIOS SETUP

4-1 Entering Setup

Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to enter Setup. The other way to enter Setup is to power on the computer, when the below message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test), press <Del> key or simultaneously press <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Esc> Keys.

TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS <CTRL-ALT-ESC> OR <DEL> KEY

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to,

PRESS <F1> TO CONTINUE, <CTRL-ALT-ESC> OR <DEL> TO ENTER SETUP

Video

The category selects the type of adapter used for the primary system monitor that must match your video display card and monitor. Although secondary monitors supported, you do not have to select the type in Setup.

You have two ways to boot up the system:

1. When VGA as primary and monochrome as secondary, the selection of the video type is “VGA Mode”.

2. When monochrome as primary and VGA as secondary, the selection of the video type is “Monochrome Mode”.

EGA/VGA Enhanced Graphics Adapter/Video Graphics Array. For EGA, VGA,

SEGA, or PGA monitor adapters. CGA 40 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 40 column mode CGA 80 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 80 column mode MONO Monochrome adapter, includes high resolution monochrome adapters

Error halt

The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up.

No errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will

stop and you will prompt. All errors The system boot will not stop for any error that may detect. All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will

stop for all other errors. All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for

all other errors. All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it

will stop for all other errors.

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

SQ599

512K for systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K 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 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.

Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K 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. Total Memory System total memory is the sum of basic memory, extended memory, and other memory.
