Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

Ha rdware Setup

3.1 Before Installation

For installation, you may need some or all of the following tools: Medium size flat blade screwdriver Medium size Phillips head screwdriver

A 3/16 inch nut driver or wrench

Users must follow these guidelines to ensure the motherboard is protected during installation.

1.Make sure your computer is powered-off wheneven work in with inside components

2.The motherboard, like all other electronic equipment,

is sensitive to static. Please take the proper precautions

when handling it. If possible, ground yourself by touching a

metal table or desk. keep the board in its conductive

wrapping until it is configured and ready to be installed in your system.

3.Keep all magnets away from both your hard and floppy

disk drives, especially magnetic screwdrivers. Keep both

floppy and hard disks apart if disassembed.

4.Keep water and liquids away from your computer and its

components.

Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

3.2 Install the Processor

The CPU should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.

Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processors heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

Step1: Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever of socket upw ard.

Step2: Insert the CPU into the socket. Please keep the lev er right angle when inse rting CPU.

Step3: When ins erting the CPU please note the correct orientation as shown. The notche d corner should point toward the end of the lever.

Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

Step4: Push the l ever down to close the socket.

Step 5: Attach the heatsi nk onto the CPU.

Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting a clampstyle processor fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard.

Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

Step6: Pus h the clip of heatsink downward to hock the ear of socket firmly.

Step7: F inally, attach the fan cable to the CPU fan header FCPU.

Don't forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple(frequency multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for your Socket 370 processor or else boot-up may not be possible.

Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

3.3 Install Memory Modules

The motherboard has three Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets and supports the maximum memory size up to 512MB. These DIMM sockets only support 3.3V unbuffered SDRAM modules of 16M, 64M, 128M and 256M. The motherboard also support SPD (Serial Presence D etect) architecture to provide the best choice for perform ance vs. stability.

The chipset does not support ECC. However, the ECC

memory modules may still be used, but the ECC

function will not be available. No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory modules.

Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

3.4 CNR

The interface of Communication and Networking Riser(CNR) supports the modem, and local area network(LAN). Motherboard integration of the modem , and LAN subsystem s is also problem atic, due to the potential for incease noise, which in-turn degrades the performance of each system. The CNR specifically addresses these problems by physical separating these noise-sensitive syst ems from the noisy environment of the mother board.

3.5 ATX Power Supply Connector

In order to support the power up function other than power/soft-off button, such as Wake-On-LAN, WakeOn-Modem, your ATX power supply must supply at least 720mA 5VSB.

Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

The power LED on the front panel of the chassis will light. After few seconds, the system will then run poweron tests. Some additional messages will appear on the screen during the test. If you do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the system may have failed a power-on test. Recheck the

jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for

assistance.

Power off procedures

STEP Description

After all connections are made, close thesystem case over.

2 Be sure that all switches are off.

Connect the power cord into the power suppply located on the back of your system case.

Connect the power coard a power outlet that is equipped

with a surge protector.

Many of the power supply support 110V/220V by a

switch setting. Switch your power supply to the correct supply voltage.

Turn on your system in the following order

a. The monitor b. The external devices. c. The computer system.

4.2 BIOS Setup

Upgrade BIOS

The BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette with the Award Flash utility — AWDFLASH.E XE. The BIOS im age file, and update utility

are available from IWILL’s WE B site: www.iwill.net

Enter BIOS setup program

Power-on the system by either pressing the P ower-On button, or

by using any of the power-on features provided by the motherboard. Then, press the <Del> key after the Power-On Self Test (P OST), and before the scanning of IDE devices. Simply look f or the message “P ress DEL to enter SETUP” displayed at the bottom of the screen during the boot up process. If the message disappears bef ore you’ve had a chance to respond, you can restart the system bytur ning off the system power then turn it on again, orP ressing the “R ESET” button on the system case, or

P ressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> keys simultaneously.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

Generally, the BIOS default settings have been carefully chosen by IWILL's Engineers provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. It is very dangerous to change any setting without full understanding. We strongly recommend that you. DO NOT update BIOS if the system works perfectly. DO NOT change any setting unless you fully understand what it means.

If the system is no longer able to boot after changing the settings, the only way to recover it is to clear the data stored in R TC CMOS. To reset the R TC CMOS data, take the JP1 jum per cap off pins 1-2, place onto pins 2-3, and then place back onto pins 1-2 again. This will return the R TC to the default setting. Then, get into the BIOS setup program , choose Load Fail-Safe Defaults ; Load Optimized Defaults, and select the original manuf acturer default settings in your CMOS.

DRAM Settings

The f irst chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed. Longer delays might result, however this preserves the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

SDRAM CAS Latency Time

This contr ols the number of clocks between the SDRAM read command and the time that the data actually becomes available.

[2.3(D efault Value)]

SDRAM Cycle Time Tras /Trc

This controls the number of SDRAM clocks used per access cycle. [5/7,7/9(D efault Value)]

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay

This controls the number of clocks between the SDRAM active command and the read / write command.

[2,3(D efault Value)] SDRAM RAS Precharge Time If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to

accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the D RAM m ay fail to retain data. This controls the idle(delay) clocks after issueing a prechange command to the SD R AM.

Iwill Mic roStepping

MicroStepping

Microst epping is Iwill's anther step forward to provides users a f uss free CPU frequency set up procedure. It contains two main f unctions, Auto Detecting CPUs speed and Micro Adjustable CPU FSB speed.

Auto Detecting CPU speed:

IWILL MicroStepping will auto detect the CP U's factory m ultiplier setting and C PU FSB to the factory default. This function provides a "f uss free" CPU set up process for the general users.

Micr o Adjustable CPU FSB speed:

IWILL provides a user friendly overclocking function that allows users to experience the fun of overclocking. This function allows user to adjust C PU FSB by 1MHz interval. This is particularly usef ul when user wants to extract the most out of the purchased C PU. For example: you select from 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138MH z and up to the m axim um speed that the system can sustained.

In the time should overclocking failed, MicroStepping will auto detects the C PU's factory m ultiplier setting and set the CPU FSB to def ault 66MHz, to protect the CPU installed.
