1.3 Features

1.3.1 Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers. Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures for quite sometime.

Page 10

Introduction

The board provides the AGP 2.0 interface. The AGP Interface Specification revision 2.0 enhances the functionality of the original AGP Interface Specification (revision 1.0) by allowing 4X data transfers (4 data samples per clock) and 1.5 volts (power supply) operation. The AGP 2.0 interface, along with Direct Rambus memory technology, allows graphics controllers to access main memory at over 1GB/s. In order to match the 1X, 2X and 4X AGP card. The board used the Universal AGP connector. To maximize add-in flexibility. (such as 1.5 volts for 1X, 2X and 4X or 3.3 volts for 1X and 2X AGP card).

1.3.2 Ultra ATA/66/100

The ICH2 provides two channel Ultra ATA/66/100 Bus Master IDE controller, that support Ultra ATA/66/100 protocols, perfect for such demanding applications as real-time video, multimedia, and high performance operating system. A new IDE cable is required for Ultra ATA/66/100. This cable is an 80-conductor cable; however the connectors are, of course, backwards compatible with ATA/33.

1.3.3 Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of fan.

1.3.4 I/O Shield Connector

The board is equipped with an I/O back panel. Please use the appropriate I/O shield (figure 1).

Figure 4: DIMM Memory and 168-pins Socket

Figure 5: Memory Installation

Page 18

Installations

Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:

1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap before you touch the DIMM.

2. Do not touch the connector of the DIMM. Dirt residue may cause a malfunction.

3. Hold the DIMM with its notch to the front side of the IP-3ETI23 and insert it completely into the socket. A DIMM should be inserted into the inner socket first. Guiding the hole at each end of the DIMM over the retaining post at each end of the DIMM socket.

4. If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same procedure as above.

5. If DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out and try again.

6. Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both sides of the socket.

Removing a DIMM:

To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to carefully push away the plastic tabs that secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it out of the socket.

Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag and must be populated the same size and manufactory of memory modules.

Installations

2.1.3 Setting Jumpers and DIP Switches

There are jumpers and DIP-switches on the system board of the IP-3ETI23. You can set the jumpers to make the necessary operations.

Figure 6: Jumper Connector

For any three-pins jumpers (Figure 6), the jumper setting is 1-2 when the jumper connects pin 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pin 2 and 3 are connected and so on. You see a number “ 1 “ and a “ 3 “ printed on the circuit board to identify these pins. And also, there is a second way of indication – one of the lines surrounding jumpers is thick, which indicates pin NO.1.

To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers or tweezers to pull the pin cap off the pins and move it to the desired position.

AWARD BIOS SETUP

3.1 BIOS Instructions

Award’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows user to modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.

It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, this will cause data loss in the CMOS only. If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.

3.6 Advanced Chipset Features

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.

can enter and change the options of the setup

menus.

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
