Viglen, EMC and the ‘CE’ mark

CE Marking European standards are being harmonised across borders. If products comply with the same standards in all European countries, product exporting and importing is made simple - paving our way to a common market. If you buy a product with a 'CE' mark on it (shown below), on the box, in the manual, or on the guarantee - it complies with the currently enforced directive(s).

Introduction to EMC EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) is the term used to describe certain issues with RF (Radio Frequency) energy. Electrical items should be designed so they do not interfere with each other through RF emissions. E.g. If you turn on your microwave, your television shouldn't display interference if both items are CE marked to the EMC directive.

If emitted RF energy is not kept low, it can interfere with other electrical circuitry - E.g. Cars Automatic Braking Systems have been known to activate by themselves while in a strong RF field. As this has obvious repercussions ALL electrical products likely to cause RF related problems have to be 'CE' marked from 1st January 1996 onwards.

If a product conforms to the EMC directive, not only should its RF emissions be very low, but its immunity to RF energy (and other types) should be high. The apparatus has to resist many 'real world' phenomena such as static shocks and mains voltage transients.

Viglen’s Environment laboratory To gain a 'CE' mark, the Viglen computer range has had to undergo many difficult tests to ensure it is Electromagnetically Compatible. These are carried out in the in-house 'Environment lab' at Viglen Headquarters. We have made every effort to guarantee that each computer leaving our factory complies fully with the correct standards. To ensure the computer system maintains compliance throughout its functional life, it is essential you follow these guidelines.

> Install the system according to Viglen’s instructions

> If you open up your Viglen: > Keep internal cabling in place as supplied. > Ensure the lid is tightly secured afterwards

> Do not remove drive bay shields unless installing a 'CE' marked peripheral in its place

> The clips or ‘bumps' around the lips of the case increase conductivity - do not remove or damage. > Do not remove the ferrite ring from the L.E.D cables. > Only use your Viglen computer with 'CE' marked peripherals

This system has been tested in accordance with European standards for use in residential and light industrial areas-this specifies a 10 meter testing radius for emissions and immunity. If you do experience any adverse affects which you think might be related to your computer, try moving it at least 10 meters away from the affected item. If you still experience problems, contact Viglen’s Technical Support department who will put you straight through to an EMC engineer - s/he will do everything possible to help. If modifications are made to your Viglen computer system, it might breach EMC regulations. Viglen take no responsibility (with regards to EMC characteristics) of equipment which has been tampered with or modified.

System Processor

The VIG390S motherboard supports a single or dual Pentium Xeon™ processor. The processor’s VID pins automatically program the voltage regulator on the motherboard to the required processor voltage. In addition, the front side bus speed is automatically selected. The motherboard currently supports processors that run internally up to 3.6GHz and have a 512 KB second-level cache and 1MB third-level cache.

The Intel Xeon™ processor incorporates Intel NetBurst® Microarchitecture with 800 MHz system bus, Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions 3, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology hardware support for multi-threaded applications and Intel’s Extended Memory 64-bit technology (EM64T).

The processor also implements MMX™ technology and maintains full backward compatibility with the 8086, 80286, Intel386 ™, Intel486 ™, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II & Pentium III processors. The processor’s numeric coprocessor significantly increases the speed of floating-point operations and complies with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.

Microprocessor Packaging

The Xeon™ processor comes in a micro PGA 604 package that connects to the motherboard through a socket 604 connector. The package consists of:

• Processor card including the processor core and the second-level and third level

cache, burst pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM) and tag RAM.

• Thermal plate.

Second Level Cache

The second-level cache is located on the die of the CPU itself. The cache includes burst pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM) and tag RAM. All supported onboard memory can be cached.

Processor Upgrades

The motherboard can be upgraded with an Intel Xeon™ processor that runs at higher speeds with a maximum of 3.6GHz.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

System Memory

Main Memory

The motherboard has four DDR2 SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. Support for up to a maximum memory size of 8GB. The BIOS automatically detects memory type, size, and speed.

The motherboard supports the following memory features:

• 240 pin DDR2 400 MHz SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts

• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:

Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organisation are not supported.

• 8 GB maximum total system memory total amount of addressable memory.

• Minimum total system memory: 256 MB

• 72bit registered ECC DIMMs

• Serial Presence Detect

Notes:

To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR2 SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If nonSPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.

Memory Configurations

The Vig390s with Intel E7525 MCH supports Dual channel (Interleaved) mode memory organisation:

Dual channel (Interleaved) mode: This mode offers the highest throughput for real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

Single channel (Asymmetric) mode: This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

NOTE:

The DIMM A2 and B2 sockets of both channels are blue. The DIMM A1and B1 sockets of both channels are black.

Figure 4: Memory Channel and DIMM Configuration

Dual channel mode: Installed modules must be the same therefore for 1GB total system memory two 512MB modules would be installed in sockets A1 and B1.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

USB Support

The motherboard has four rear USB 2.0 ports; note optional front panel USB adaptor connector is required to use the internal USB headers to provide up to 4 more additional ports. One USB peripheral can be connected to each port. For more than four USB devices, an external hub can be connected to either port. The motherboard fully supports the universal host controller interface (UHCI) and (EHCI) and uses UHCI-and EHCI- compatible drivers. The ICH5 provides the USB controller for all ports.

The port arrangement is as follows:

• Two ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors, adjacent to

the PS/2 connectors

• Two ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors, adjacent to

the audio connectors

• Four ports are routed to two separate front panel USB connectors

Note: USB 2.0 drivers are available for Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP, and

currently not supported by any other operating system.

USB features include:

• Self-identifying peripherals that can be plugged in while the computer is

running.

• Automatic mapping of function to driver and configuration.

• Supports isochronous and asynchronous transfer types over the same set of

wires.

• Supports up to 127 physical devices.

• Guaranteed bandwidth and low latencies appropriate for telephony, audio,

and other applications.

• Error-handling and fault-recovery mechanisms built into the protocol.

Note: Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may

not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed (sub-channel) USB device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the requirements for high-speed (fully rated) devices.

IDE Support

The VIG390S motherboard provides four IDE interface connectors:

• Two Parallel ATA (P-ATA) IDE connectors, which support a total of four

devices (two per connector)

• Two Serial ATA (S-ATA) IDE connectors, which support one device per

connector

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

Parallel ATA IDE Interfaces

The ICH5’s Parallel ATA IDE controller has two independent bus-mastering Parallel ATA IDE interfaces that can be independently enabled. The Parallel ATA IDE interfaces support the following modes:

• Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer.

• 8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up

to 16 MB/sec.

• Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and

transfer rates of up to 33 MB/sec.

• ATA-66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and

transfer rates of up to 66 MB/sec. ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible.

• ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The

ICH5’s ATA-100 logic can achieve read transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec and write transfer rates up to 88 MB/sec.

Serial ATA Support

The ICH5’s Serial ATA controller offers two independent Serial ATA ports with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 150 MB/s per port. One device can be installed on each port for a maximum of two Serial ATA devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which supports a master/slave configuration and two devices per channel.

For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The Serial ATA controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations using the Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems.

LS-120 Support

LS-120 MB Diskette technology enables you to store 120MB of data on a single, 3.5” removable diskette. LS-120 technology is backward (both read and write) compatible with 1.44MB and 720KB DOS-formatted diskette and is supported by Windows 95 and Windows NT operating system.

The VIG390S board allows connection of an LS-120 compatible drive and a standard 3½” floppy drive. The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device before a floppy drive, if selected in the BIOS setup utility.

Note: If you connect an LS-120 drive to an IDE connector and configure it as the “A”

drive and configure a standard 3.5” floppy as “B” drive, the standard floppy must be connected to the floppy drive cable’s “A” connector (the connector at the end of the cable).

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

The BIOS setup utility can be configured to boot firstly from either the LS120 or standard 3½” floppy drive.

Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM and Battery

A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied.

Note: If the battery and AC power fail, custom defaults, if previously saved, will be

loaded into CMOS RAM at power-on.

I/O Controller

The I/O controller (Intel® 6300ESB I-O Controller Hub) provides the following features:

• One serial port (optional second serial port).

• One parallel port with Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced

Parallel Port (EPP) support

• Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialised IRQ support for PCI systems

PS/2-style mouse and keyboard interfaces

• Interface for one 1.44 MB diskette drive

• PCI-X 64/66 ports

• PCI 32/33 ports

• Two P-ATA ports

• Two S-ATA ports with configurable Intel RAID 0 and 1 support

• Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event

interface

• SMBus hardware management support

• Integrated USB hub

By default, the I/O controller interfaces are automatically configured during boot up. The I/O controller can also be manually configured in the Setup program.

Serial Ports

One 9-pin D-Sub serial port connector is located on the back panel and is compatible with NS16C550 UARTs.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

Parallel Port

The connector for the multimode bi-directional parallel port is a 25-pin D-Sub connector located on the back panel. In the Setup program, the parallel port can be configured for the following:

• Compatible (standard mode).

• Bi-directional (PS/2 compatible).

• Extended Parallel Port (EPP).

• Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP).

Floppy Controller

The I/O controller is software compatible with the N82077 floppy drive controllers and supports both PC-AT and PS/2 modes. In the Setup program, the floppy interface can be configured for the following floppy 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 (default configuration)

• 2.88 MB, 3.5-inch

PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Interface

PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are located on the back panel. The +5 V lines to these connectors are protected with a PolySwitch circuit that, like a self-healing fuse, re-establishes the connection after an over-current condition is removed.

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).

Power Management

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:

• Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

• Hardware support:

o Power connector o Fan connectors o LAN wake capabilities o Instantly Available PC technology o Resume on Ring o Wake from USB o Wake from PS/2 devices o Power Management Event signal (PME#) wake-up support

ACPI

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the VIG390S motherboard requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support. ACPI features include:

• Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration)

• 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

• Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the poweron/standby sleeping state

• A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer

• Support for multiple wake-up events

• Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch

Table 9 lists 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 9: Effects of Pressing the Power Switch

If the system is in this state…

Off (ACPI G2/G5 – soft off) On (ACPI G0 – working state) On (ACPI G0 – working state) Sleep (ACPI G1 – sleeping state) Sleep (ACPI G1 – sleeping state)

…and the power switch is pressed for

Less that four seconds Power-on

Less than four seconds Soft off/Standby

More than four seconds Fail safe power-off

Less that four seconds Wake-up

More than fore seconds Power-off

…the system enters this state

(ACPI G2/G5 – soft-off)

(ACPI G0 – working state)

(ACPI G2/G5 – Soft off)

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

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.

Table 10 lists the power states supported by the VIG390S motherboard along with the associated system power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various system and power states.

Note: The use of these wake-up events from an ACPI state requires an operating

system that provides full ACPI support. In addition, software, drivers, and peripherals must fully support ACPI wake events.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

Hardware Support

CAUTION!

Ensure that the power supply provides adequate +5 V standby current if LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology features are used. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current required depends on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options.

The VIG390S motherboard provides several power management hardware features, including:

• Power connector

• Fan connectors

• LAN wake capabilities

• Instantly Available PC technology

• Resume on Ring

• Wake from USB

• Wake from PS/2 keyboard

• PME# signal wake-up support

LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology require power from the +5 V standby line. The sections discussing these features describe the incremental standby power requirements for each.

Resume on Ring enables telephony devices to access the computer when it is in a power-managed state. The method used depends on the type of telephony device (external or internal).

Note: The use of Resume on Ring and Wake from USB technologies from an ACPI

state requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support.

Power Connector

SSI ATX 12V compliant power supplies can turn off the system power through system control. When an ACPI-enabled system receives the correct command, the power supply removes all non-standby voltages.

When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it was in before power was interrupted (on or off). The computer’s response can be set using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

LAN wake Capabilities

CAUTION!

For LAN wake capabilities, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing LAN wake capabilities can damage the power supply.

LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The LAN subsystem PCI bus network adapter monitors network traffic at the Media Independent Interface. Upon detecting a Magic Packet* frame, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer. Depending on the LAN implementation, the VIG390S motherboard supports LAN wake capabilities with ACPI in the following ways:

• The PCI bus PME# signal for PCI 2.2 compliant LAN designs

• The onboard LAN subsystem

Instantly Available PC Technology

CAUTION!

For Instantly Available PC technology, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing Instantly Available PC technology can damage the power supply.

Instantly Available PC technology enables the VIG390S motherboard to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) sleep-state. While in the S3 sleep-state, the computer will appear to be off (the power supply is off, and the front panel LED is amber if dual coloured, or off if single coloured.) When signalled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state.

The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and PCI 2.2 compliant add-in cards and drivers.

Resume on Ring

The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarised as follows:

• Resumes operation from ACPI S1 or S3 states

• Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems

• Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

Wake from USB

USB bus activity wakes the computer from ACPI S1 or S3 states.

Note: Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake

from USB.

Wake from PS/2 Devices

PS/2 device activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.

PME# Signal Wake-up Support

When the PME# signal on the PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 state (with Wake on PME enabled in BIOS).

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

Chapter 2: System Board Options

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

CAUTION!

The Viglen VIG390S motherboard and associated components are sensitive electronic devices. A small static shock from your body can cause expensive damage to your equipment.

Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a qualified engineer can perform the upgrade.

STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:

1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your

local electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static charge will be harmlessly bled to ground.

2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you

are about to install it.

3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.

Note: We recommend that you return your computer to the service department for

upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only be carried out by persons who are familiar with handling IC's, as incorrect installation will invalidate the guarantee.

Resetting the System

Before checking your system for hardware problems, it is always a good idea to try resetting your computer and see if a re-boot can solve the problem. Most software related problems can be solved simply by re-booting your PC.

Table 23: Resetting the System

To do the following Press

Soft boot: Clear the system memory and reload the operating system (also called warm reset).

Cold boot: Clear the system memory, halt power to all peripherals, restart POST, and reload the operating system.

Power off/on or reset button (at front of the system)

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

Troubleshooting Procedure

This section provides a step-by-step troubleshooting procedure to identify a problem and locate its source.

CAUTION!

1. Turn off the system and any peripheral devices before you disconnect any

peripheral cables from the system. Otherwise, you can permanently damage the system or the peripheral devices.

2. Make sure the system is plugged into a properly grounded power outlet.

3. Make sure your keyboard and video display are correctly connected to the

system. Turn on the video display, and turn up its brightness and contrast controls to at least two-thirds of the maximum (refer to the documentation supplied with the video display).

4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there is

no diskette in the diskette drive. If the operating system normally loads from a diskette, insert the operating system diskette into the drive.

5. Turn on the system. If the power indicator does not light, but the system seems

to be operating normally, the indicator is probably defective. Monitor the power-on self test (POST) execution. Each time you turn on the system, the POST checks the system board, memory, keyboard, and certain peripheral devices.

Note: If the POST does not detect any errors, the system beeps once and boots up.

Errors that do not prevent the boot process (non-fatal errors) display a message that looks similar to the following:

Error Message Line 1 Error Message Line 2 Press <F1> for Set-up, <F2> to Boot

You can note the error and press <F2> to resume the boot- up process, or <F1> to enter Set-up.

Errors that prevent the boot process from continuing (fatal errors), are communicated by a series of audible beeps. If this type of error occurs, refer to the error codes and messages listed at the end of this chapter.

6. Confirm that the operating system has loaded.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

Problems Operating Add-in Boards

Problems related to add-in boards are usually related to improper board installation or interrupt and address conflicts. Go through the checklist below to see if you can correct the problem. If the problem persists after you have checked and corrected all of these items, contact the board vendor's customer service representative.

Did you install the add-in board according to the manufacturer’s instructions? Check the documentation that came with the board. Are all cables installed properly?

The following items are suggestions for troubleshooting problems related to PCI/ISA legacy (non-Plug and Play) add-in boards.

• If the PCI/ISA board uses an interrupt, run Set-up and set the interrupt that is

being used by the PCI/ISA board to Used by PCI/ISA Card. Please refer to the BIOS manual for details of how to do this.

• If the PCI/ISA legacy board uses memory space between 80000H - 9FFFFH,

run Set-up and set conventional memory to 256 K.

• If the PCI/ISA legacy board uses shared memory between C8000H - DFFFH,

run Set-up and enable shared memory for the appropriate memory space.

Try resetting the system.

Make sure all cables are installed correctly.

Verify that the system board jumpers are set properly.

Verify that your system hardware configuration is set correctly. In Setup, check the values against the system settings you recorded previously. If an error is evident (wrong type of drive specified, for example), make the change in Setup and reboot the system. Record your change.

Make sure the software is properly configured for the system. Refer to the software documentation for information.

Try a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy you are using.

If other software runs correctly on the system, contact the vendor of the software that fails.

If you check all of the above with no success, try clearing CMOS RAM and reconfiguring the system. Make sure you have your list of system settings available to re-enter, because clearing CMOS RAM sets the options to their default values.

Make sure the brightness and contrast controls are properly adjusted on the monitor.

Make sure the video signal cable and power cables are properly installed.

BIOS Beep Codes

If an unrecoverable hardware problem occurs the computer may emit a number of beeps from the speaker. These are known as beep codes. The pitch and duration of the beep codes may vary but there will always be a set number of beeps. These beeps stem from the BIOS’s initial check on the system and will normally occur in the first few seconds of power on.

Beeps codes represent a terminal error. If the BIOS detects a terminal error condition, it outputs an error beep code, halts the POST, and attempts to display a port 80h code on a POST card’s LED display.

Chapter 4: System BIOS

What is the BIOS?

The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is an important piece of software which is stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) chip inside the computer. It consists of the basic instructions for controlling the disk drives, hard disk, keyboard and serial/parallel ports. The BIOS also keeps a list of the specifications of the computer in battery-backed RAM (also known as the CMOS RAM) and provides a special Setup program to change this information.

The BIOS in your Viglen computer is guaranteed to be fully compatible with the IBM BIOS. It has been written by American MegaTrends Inc. (AMI), an industrial leader in the field of BIOS software.

The Power-on sequence

When the computer is first switched on, certain instructions in the BIOS are executed to test various parts of the machine. This is known as the POST (Power-On Self Test) routine. When you switch the computer on (or when you press the Reset button or press <Ctrl> + <Alt>+ <Delete> keys, which has the same effect), you can see on the monitor that it counts through the memory, testing it. The floppy disk drives are then accessed and tested, and the various interfaces are checked. If there are any errors, a message is displayed on the screen.

Having passed all the tests, and if you have activated the password facility, the BIOS then asks you to enter the boot password to continue. The following section describes how to do this. The BIOS then loads the operating system, either - MS DOS, Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Pro /Home, etc. - from the hard disk (or floppy disk if one is inserted in Drive A:). The computer is then ready for use.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

AMI BIOS

Introduction

The motherboard uses an AMI BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be upgraded using a disk-based program. In addition to the BIOS, the flash memory contains the Setup program, Power-On Self Test (POST), Advanced Power Management (APM), the PCI auto-configuration utility, and is Windows Plug and Play. This motherboard 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.

BIOS Upgrades

A new version of the BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette using the iFLASH.EXE utility that is available from Intel. This utility does BIOS upgrades as follows:

• Updates the flash BIOS from a file on a disk.

• Updates the language section of the BIOS.

• Makes sure that the upgrade BIOS matches the target system to prevent

accidentally installing a BIOS for a different type of system.

BIOS upgrades and the AFUDOS.exe utility may be available online at www.viglen.co.uk or by request.

Note: Please review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before

attempting a BIOS upgrade.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

BIOS Flash Memory Organisation

The Intel Firmware Hub (FWH) includes a 8 Mbit flash memory device. Internally, the device is grouped into eight 64-KB blocks that are individually erasable, lockable, and unlockable.

The 8-Mbit flash component is organised as 256 KB x 8 bits and is divided into areas as described in Table 27. The table shows the addresses in the ROM image in normal mode (the addresses change in BIOS Recovery Mode).

Table 27: Typical Flash Memory Organisation

Address (Hex) Size Description

FFFFC000 – FFFFFFFF 16 KB Boot Block

FFFFA000 – FFFFBFFF 8 KB Vital Product Data (VPD) Extended System

Configuration Data (ESCD) (DMI configuration data / Plug and Play data)

FFFF9000 - FFFF9FFF 4 KB Used by BIOS (e.g., for Event Logging)

FFFF8000 - FFFF8FFF 4 KB OEM logo or Scan Flash Area

FFFC0000 - FFFF7FFF 228 KB Main BIOS Block

Plug and Play: PCI Auto-configuration

The BIOS automatically configures PCI devices and Plug and Play devices. PCI devices may be onboard or add-in cards. Plug and Play devices are ISA add-in cards built to meet the Plug and Play specification. Auto-configuration 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 automatically configures 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 addin 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 non-deterministic. 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.

PCI IDE Support

If Auto is selected as a primary or secondary IDE in Setup, the BIOS automatically sets up the two local-bus IDE connectors with independent I/O channel support. The IDE interface supports hard drives up to PIO Mode 4 and recognises any ATAPI devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape drives and Ultra DMA drives. Add-in ISA IDE controllers are not supported. The BIOS determines the capabilities of each drive and configures them so as to optimise 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 or 4, depending on the capability of the drive. To override the auto-configuration options, use the specific

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

IDE device options in Setup. The ATAPI specification recommends that ATAPI devices be configured as shown in Table 28.

Table 28: Recommendations for Configuring an ATAPI Device

Plug and Play

If Plug and Play operating system is selected in Setup, the BIOS auto-configures only ISA Plug and Play cards that are required for booting (IPL devices). If Plug and Play operating system is not selected in Setup, the BIOS auto-configures all Plug and Play ISA cards.

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. Using DMI, a system administrator can obtain the 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 enables applications such as Intel LANDesk® Client Manager to use DMI. 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.

DMI does not work directly under non-Plug and Play operating systems (e.g., Windows NT). 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.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

• Suspend/resume switch connected to the front panel sleep connector.

• From the operating system, such as the Suspend menu item in Windows 95.

In standby mode, the motherboard 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. For example, Windows 95 supports the power-management features upon detecting that APM is enabled in the BIOS.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

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, video displays, and hard disk drives.

• Methods for achieving less than 30-watt system operation in the Power On Suspended sleeping state, and less than 5-watt system operation in the Suspended to Disk sleeping state.

• A soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power off the computer.

• Support for multiple wake up events.

• Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch. Table 29 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 29: Effects of Pressing the Power Switch

If the system is in this state…

Off Less than 4 seconds Power On On Less than 4 seconds Soft Off/ Suspended On More than 4 seconds Fail safe power off Sleep Less than 4 seconds Wake up

… and the power switch is pressed for

…the system enters this state

Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power state based on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off. See Power Management section in Chapter 1, Page 28 for more information on ACPI.

Language Support

The Setup program and help messages can be supported in 32 languages. The default language is American English, which is present unless another language is programmed into the BIOS using the flash memory update utility.

Boot Options

In the Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a floppy drive, hard drive, CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the floppy drive to be the primary boot device and the hard drive to be the secondary boot device. By default the third and fourth devices are disabled.

Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format specification. Under the Boot menu in the Setup program, CD-ROM is listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. If the CD-ROM is selected as the boot device, it must be the first device.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed

OEM Logo or Scan Area

A 4 KB flash-memory user area at memory is for displaying a custom OEM logo during POST.

USB Support

The USB connectors allow any of several USB devices to be attached to the computer. Typically, the device driver for USB devices is managed by the operating system. However, because keyboard and mouse support may be needed in the Setup program before the operating system boots, the BIOS supports USB keyboards and mice.

BIOS Setup Access

Access to the Setup program can be restricted using passwords. User and supervisor passwords can be set using the Security menu in Setup. The default is no passwords enabled.

Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0

Configuring the Motherboard using BIOS Setup

Before You Begin

CAUTION!

• Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.

• Set up a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial

numbers, installed options, and configuration information.

• Use an anti-static wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when working on the

motherboard.

WARNINGS

The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.

Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications links, networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in this chapter. Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the computer or perform any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the motherboard may continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off.

CAUTION!

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Setting the Processor Speed

There is no need to set the processor speed as this is automatically set by the BIOS. Check the BIOS utility Advanced sub menu CPU Configuration for the correct detection for the CPU or CPU’s installed in the motherboard.

Note: The BIOS does allow changing of the CPU clock ratio, we do not recommend the use of this option.

Clearing the Passwords

Note: Passwords can be cleared individually from the normal BIOS Utility setup

mode if the password to be changed is known, if no passwords have been set they can be set as described later in this section.
