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 2 Configuration Guide
2-1 Memory Configuration
The SQ599 motherboard supports standard Fast Page DRAM or EDO DRAM
improve the DRAM read performance. The motherboard provides four 72-pin SIMM
sockets.It can be 1MBx32/36(4MB), 2MBx32/36(8MB), 4MBx32/36(16MB) and
8MBx32/36(32MB). The memory requires 70ns for fast Page DRAM and 60ns for
EDO DRAM. It can use 1piece SIMM module which must be setup on “SIMM1” If
you use 2 pieces SIMM modules, you must setup on “SIMM 1 & SIMM 2” or
“SIMM 3 & SIMM 4”. Please refer the board layout drawing on page 5.

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.
8
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

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
16
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.
