Thermal Solutions

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal
management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system
operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the
processor below its specified maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved
processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and concentrated airflow
from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat
from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the
use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.

When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below
for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel
processors.

2-3-2 Setting CPU Bus Clock & Memory Clock Jumper

Setting the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency

The motherboard uses jumper JS1 and JS3 for the front side bus frequency and
SDRAM frequency setting as shown from the table below:

CPU/SDRAM (MHz) JS4 JS2 JS1 JS3

AUTO ON ON 1-2 1-2

66/100
100/100 OFF OFF 2-3 1-2
133/100 OFF OFF 1-2 1-2
133/133 OFF OFF 1-2 2-3

(default)

Example: Using a Pentium III 866 CPU with front side bus frequency of 133MHz and

PC-133 SDRAM module, the setting of JS1 will be 1-2, JS3 will be 2-3 and both
JS2 & JS4 will be off. This sets both CPU BUS CLOCK and SDRAM CLOCK
to be 133MHz.

For experience user looking for over clocking possibility, please refer to sec 2-3-4.

2-3-3 Install CPU

This motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that comes with the
motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not
the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.

WARNING!

Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it
may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you
may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF
socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then
upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown
below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU
has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as
shown.

WARNING!

The Design of this motherboard follows chipset and CPU vender’s
design guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification
are not recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage
your system or important data. Before over clocking, you must make
sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting,
especially CPU, memory, hard disks, and VGA cards.

Figure 2-4

NOTE!

When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention
on both sides.

WARNING!

For the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC133-compliant
DIMMs. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not
even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing
issues, if your DIMM are not PC133-compliant, set the SDRAM clock to
100MHz to ensure system stability.

2-5 Expansion Cards

13

WARNING!

Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or
other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage

2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively
assign to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them
are already in use.

Standard Interrupt Assignments

IRQ Priority Standard function

0 1 System Timer
1 2 Keyboard Controller
2 N/A Programmable Interrupt
3 * 11 Communications Port (COM2)
4 * 12 Communications Port (COM1)
5 * 13 Sound Card (sometimes LPT2)
6 14 Floppy Disk Controller
7 * 15 Printer Port (LPT1)
8 3 System CMOS/Real Time Clock

9 * 4 ACPI Mode when enabled
10 * 5 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
11 * 6 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
12 * 7 PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port
13 8 Numeric Data Processor
14 * 9 Primary IDE Channel
15 * 10 Secondary IDE Channel

* These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices.

2-5-3 Interrupt Request Table For This Motherboard

Interrupt request are shared as shown the table below:

IMPORTANT!

If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support
“S hared IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will
arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or
cards inoperable.

Introducing BIOS

The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a
bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS
program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on
self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware devi ce and configures
the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done it
gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only
channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability,
and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.

In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain
these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short
description of the function keys you may use here:

SPP/EPP/ECP/ECP+EPP

To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose “SPP.” To operate the
onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”, the
onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP+EPP” will allow the
onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously. The ECP mode
has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After
selecting it, the following message will appear: “ECP Mode Use DMA” at this time, the user can
choose between DMA channels 3 to 1. The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so
after the user chooses the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the following message will
