Welcome
Thank you for buying the IWILL® ZMAXdp barebone! The barebone delivers a host of new
features and latest technologies making it another standout in the long line of IWILL quality
motherboards!
The barebone combines the powers of the AMD Opteron™ processor and the NVIDIA® nForce3
Pro250 chipset to set a new benchmark for an effective desktop platform solution. Supporting up
to 2GB of system memory with PC3200/PC2700/PC2100 registered DDR SDRAM, 300W Power
supply, high-performance graphics via an AGP 8X slot, SATA, IEEE1394, USB 2.0, and 6-channel
audio features, the barebone takes you ahead in the world of power computing! Before you start
installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your package with the
list below.
The system has good thermal solution. The specially designed CPU cooler supports CPU up to
Model 250 (2.4GHz) and Model 240EE (Low-Power, 30W). The system fans also effectively help
to exhaust hot air through a complete air flow direction. Built with silicon-on-insulator transistors
and copper interconnects. To dissipate the heat it does produce, two big and low speed fans draw
air from the bottom of the machine, across the storage, processor, power supply and out the back.
It keeps your system stable and quiet.
With the user’s guide’s step-by-step instructions, chassis installation can never be easier. Read
this manual, which provides updates and supplemental information about your computer.

Installing system memory
The barebone comes with four Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
sockets. The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets.
Memory configurations
You may install 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB registered DDR DIMMs into the DIMM
sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
Important notes on memory configurations
1. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is
recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. See list of Qualified
Vendors List on IWILL webpage.
2. It is recommended to install all the DIMM slots with memory for better performance.
SFF Workstation Installation Guide
User’s Manual 27
Installing a DIMM
Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system
components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the
components.
Installing Memory Modules
Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the
retaining clips outward.
Align the ”notch” on the memory module to
the “break” on the socket.
Firmly insert the module into the socket until
the retaining clips snap back into place and
the module is properly seated.
Make sure the memory module is locked on
the socket with both retaining clips.
To avoid damaging a memory module slot, move the end latches slightly outward to
relieve pressure.
The BIOS recognizes the installed memory and configures the CMOS Setup Utility
automatically.
A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a
DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

Arranging your workspace
Here are some guidelines to help you find better way to use your computer.
.
Viewing Distance
Lower Back Support
Seat Height
Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue.
A good chair can make a big difference. The backrest and seat should adjust independently
and provide good support.
The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust the seat so that
your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are either flat on the floor or on a footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your wrists in a
neutral, comfortable position.
Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level.
Place the LCD monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 50 to 60 cm.
Also position other equipment you use regularly, such as the telephone or a mouse, within easy
reach.

The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard
parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (UltraDMA133).
The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing easier routing inside the
chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA cable eliminates the problem caused by
the wide, flat ribbon of the Parallel ATA interface.
Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections are not available in this
barebone.

Power Connectors
The two power connectors let you attach two leads from an ATX12V power supply to the
motherboard. The board requires a 24-pin ATX connector plus a 8-pin ATX12V connector. Insert
the 24-pin lead of the ATX12V power supply into the first 20 holes of the power connector leaving
the last four empty. Insert the 8-pin ATX12V lead into the another power connector.

This chapter gives information about the ZMAX Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS) operation.
The ZMAXdp BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the
BIOS Setup program, the PCI and IDE auto-configuration utilities.
Refer this chapter for more information about the BIOS.
The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the
BIOS Setup program can be accessed and who can boot the
computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be
set for the BIOS Setup and for booting the computer.:

Using “AMIFLASH.EXE” to update the BIOS
Update the BIOS using the AMIFLASH.EXE utility in DOS environment.
1. Visit the IWILL website ( http://www.iwill.net
) to download the latest BIOS file for your
motherboard. Save the BIOS file to a bootable floppy disk.
2. At the DOS prompt, type the command line:
AMIFLASH / <filename>
where “filename” means the latest (or original) BIOS file that you copied to the bootable floppy
disk. The screen displays the status of the update process.
The BIOS information on the screen is for reference only. What you see on your screen
may not be exactly the same as shown.
DO NOT shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so may cause
system boot failure!
3. When the BIOS update process is complete, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.

BIOS Setup program
This chapter discusses the AMI® BIOS Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup
program allows users to modify the basic system configuration.
The BIOS is the Basic Input / Output System used in all IBM PC, XT, AT, and PS/2 compatible
computers. The AMIBIOS flash chip stores the system parameters, such as type of disk drives,
video displays, etc. in the CMOS. When the computer is turned off, a back-up battery provides
power to the BIOS flash chip, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the computer is
powered-on the computer is configured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system
BIOS, which gains control at boot-up.
The AMI® BIOS installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only Memory) is a custom
version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard
devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.
STARTING THE BIOS SETUP
The AMI® BIOS is immediately activated every time you power on the system. The BIOS reads
the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking the system
and configuring it. After configuring the system, the BIOS will follow the Boot Order to seek out an
operating system. The BIOS then turns control of the system over to the operating system.
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the
BIOS Setup utility.
1. Power on the System. Note: Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is
the memory test.
2. As the memory is being tested, you can access the BIOS Setup Utility by pressing the <F2>
key when “Press < F2> to enter SETUP” appears briefly at the bottom of the screen.
From the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility, you can access the other setup screens, such as
the Security and Power menus.

IMPORTANT
The BIOS does NOT automatically save values that you have modified. If you do not save your
values before you exit the BIOS Setup Utility, all your changes will be lost.
If after making and saving system changes with the BIOS Setup Utility, you discover that your
computer is no longer able to boot, the AMIBIOS® supports an override, which will reset your
system to the Failsafe defaults. If that fails, it is possible to manually clear the present CMOS
information through the "Clear CMOS Header" on the motherboard (Refer to Jumper Settings for
more information).
The best advice is to ONLY alter settings that you thoroughly understand. The default settings
have been carefully chosen by AMIBIOS® to provide the maximum system performance and
reliability. Even a slight change to the chipset setup may cause potential and unpredictable failure
to the system.
