AMD K8 Processor Family

Cooling Solutions

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance with increasing operation
clock, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial while building computer systems. Maintaining
the proper computing environment without thermal increasing is the key to reliable, stable, and 24
hours system operation. The overall goal is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case
temperature. Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increasing surface area
and concentrated airflow from attached active cooling fans. In addition, interface materials allow
effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, AMD
recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.

Please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended for Socket-A
processors by AMD. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all
heatsinks that support Socket-754 processors.

Introduzione

Il sistema barebone è una piattaforma multiutente che consente la connessione al sistema da parte di due utenti.
Grazie all'hardware di connettività integrato e al software innovativo, il sistema barebone della serie Digybox
MagicTwin
Windows separate. Ciascuno dei 2 utenti ha l'impressione di disporre di un proprio computer dotato di
Windows XP. Ogni utente deve avere a disposizione tastiera, mouse, periferica audio e monitor propri. Il resto
dell'hardware del PC è condiviso, incluso l'indirizzo IP. Tutto ciò che è necessario è un singolo sistema Digybox
MagicTwin dotato almeno di un processore da 1,2 GHz o superiore, di 256 MB di RAM (128 MB per
workstation/utente) e di una doppia porta VGA. La seconda stazione utente può essere aggiunta al sistema
singolo in pochi istanti, trasformando di fatto un PC in due.

Chapter 1

Introduction

The special designed 2-user motherboard allows two users to share the computing power of a
single PC system. With integrated connectivity hardware onboard, the motherboard comes
with innovative software, the MagicTwin®, allowing 2 users to be connected to it and runs up
to two stations directly from it simultaneously. The unique and copyright-protected
MagicTwin® technology makes each of the 2 users feel like having himself his own Windows­XP computer. Each user needs to have himself his own keyboard, mouse, sound device, and
monitor. All remaining PC hardware are shared, even the IP.

Both users can operate on their own station concurrently just like the operation of a standard
PC. There is no obvious delay because of the Time-slicing/Multiplexing technology built-in.
Each user gets an exact and extremely short defined moment to access to the PC system,
devices, applications and Windows itself. Resources are only claimed for nanoseconds at a
time, usually from electronic memory, or cache. Both users get from Windows and the PC,
what they really need when they need it! The MagicTwin solution turns the single PC into a
cost-effective multi-user system.

The setup is intuitive and easy. In only a few minutes, users can install and start using their
new workstation. No network administrator is needed as everything to network the
workstations together is done automatically with the MagicTwin software. You can add
immediately additional user station to the single system and turn one PC into two.

2-3-2 About AMD Athlon64 754-pin CPU

This motherboard provides a 754-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket,
referred to as the mPGA754 socket supports AMD Athlon64 processor in the 754 Pin package
utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array package technology.

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.

Socket 754

CPU ZIF mPGAB Socket

Colden Arrow

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force require to insert of the CPU, then press
the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.

2-4 Install Memory

This motherboard provides two 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum
memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM.

Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR266/DDR333/DDR400 DDR SDRAM module looks
like.

DIMM1 (BANK0+BANK1)

DIMM2 (BANK2+BANK3)

NOTE!

WARNING!

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.
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 200MHz, use only DDR400-compliant DDR
Modules. When this motherboard operate at 200Mhz, most system will not even
boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your
SDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 133MHz
to ensure system stability.

2-5 Expansion Cards

WARNING!

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

Figure 2-4

2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation

1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or

software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.

2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.

3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.

5. Replace the computer system’s cover.

6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.

7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.

2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card

the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable.

2-5-4 AGP Slot

This motherboard provides an AGP Slot, only support the 1.5V 4X/0.8V 8X AGP VGA card.
Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and damage the motherboard due to
chipset can not support AGP 2X (3.3V).

IMPORTANT!

Before you plug-in AGP card, please make sure the following notice is fully
understood and practiced. If your AGP card has “AGP 4X notch (show
below) please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X/8X (1.5V/0.8V) not AGP
2X (3.3V)

AGP SLOT

2X/4X mode AGP slot, but only can support 2X (3.3V) only. If you install these
cards in Intel® 865 based motherboard it will burn and damage the motherboard.

Example 2:

We also find Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is design for 2X/4X mode AGP

Slot. It can be adjusted the jumper for AGP 2X (3.3V) or AGP 4X (1.5V). But the
factory default setting is 2X (3.3V). If you install this AGP card in motherboard
without change the jumper setting to 4X (1.5V), it will burn the motherboard.

Chapter 3

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 device 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:

CAS Latency

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends
on the DRAM timing. The settings are: 2T and 2.5T.

Note: Change these settings only if you are familiar with the chipset.

RAS to CAS Delay

This field let’s you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when
DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives
more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the
system. The settings are: 2T, 3T and 4T. (1T=1 Bus Clock)

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 DRAM may fail to retain date. Fast
gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only
when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. The settings are: 2T, 3T and 4T.

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
be displayed on the screen: “EPP Mode Select.” At this time either EPP 1.7 spec. or EPP 1.9
spec. can be chosen.

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. 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.
