8. Memory Installation PCI-759 – User’s Guide (V1.02)
12 www.kontron.com
8. Memory Installation
The PCI-759 board supports two 240 pin DDR2 DIMM sockets for up to a total memory of up to 4GB DDR2 SDRAM. The
single/double sided memory modules can be user-defined combined in sizes of 256MB, 512MB up to maximum 2GB pro
DDR2 DIMM socket.
The majority of systems supporting dual-channel memory can be configured in either single-channel or
dual-channel memory mode.
The speed used in all channels is the speed of the slowest DIMM in the system.
Only around a memory of 3.5 GB is usable for most of 32 bit operating systems.
The DIMM0 (nearest positioned to the CPU) must be fitted first for AMT and QST feature.
For the best dual-channel memory performance on boards with the Intel dual-channel DDR2 chipsets must be used
identically paired memory modules in channel A and B.
We recommend installing into the board DDR2 DIMM sockets a dual channel kit (identically manufacturer, capacity,
speed, number of chips and modules).
Prerequisites for dual-channel memory configuration:
1. Both modules are the same capacity (e.g. both are 256MB or 512MB)
2. Both modules are the same speed (e.g. both are PC2700 or PC3200)
3. Both have the same number of chips and module sides (e.g. both have the same number of chips on the module, and
both are either single-sided or double-sided).
If other memory configuration is used, the system will revert to the single-channel memory mode
(lower-performing mode).
The speed of the bus clock and the timing of the memory access for the main memory (RAM) are given by
the slowest DDR2 DIMM Module built-in the system.

www.kontron.com 33
10. AMI BIOS Configuration
This chapter describes the settings available in the optional AMI-BIOS for the PCI-759 board. The AMI-BIOS (Basic
Input/Output System) pre- installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel® Core™2 Duo, Intel® Celeron S
processors in a standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system.
10.1. BIOS Setup
The AMI BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the
system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the AMI BIOS is activated.
Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still
wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and
<Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the
screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change
entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select
from various Setup functions and exit choices.
The BIOS Setup screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. “Grayed-out”
options cannot be configured. Blue options can be select and configured.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is
selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.
10.1.1. Navigation
Hot Key Description
→← Left/Right
The Left and Right <Arrow> keys allow you to select a BIOS Setup screen.
For example: Main screen, Advanced screen, Chipset screen, and so on.
↑↓ Up/Down
The Up and Down <Arrow> keys allow you to select a BIOS Setup item or sub-screen.
+ / - Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus <Keys> keys allow you to change the field value of a particular BIOS Setup item.
For example: Date and Time.
Tab The <Tab> key allows you to select BIOS Setup fields.
The <F8> key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not displayed on the key legend by default.
To set the Fail-Safe settings of the BIOS, press the <F8> key on your keyboard. The Fail-Safe settings
allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of options enabled. This can lessen the
probability of conflicting settings.
The <F9> key on your keyboard is the Optimal-Default key. To set the Optimal-Default settings of the
BIOS, press the <F9> key on your keyboard.

With this field you can protect the boot sector against virus.
It is possible to choose between: Enabled and Disabled.
Enabled
The boot sector cannot be changed. A virus that attacks the boot sector cannot infect the system.
Select “Enabled” to enable boot sector protection. The system displays a warning when any program (or
virus) issues a Disk Format command or attempts to write to the boot sector of the hard disk drive.
If “Enabled”, the following appears when a write is attempted to the boot sector. You may have to type N
several times to prevent the boot sector write.
Boot Sector Write!
Possible VIRUS: Continue (Y/N)? _
The following appears after any attempt to format any cylinder, head, or sector of any hard disk drive via
the BIOS INT 13 Hard disk drive Service:
Format!!!
Possible VIRUS: Continue (Y/N)? _
Disabled
The boot sector could be changed. The protection is disabled.
Before installing an operating system you have to change this selection to “Disabled”. During
installation the first sector is written by the operating system. After the installation you can enable the
boot virus protection by set “Enabled”.
Boot Sector Virus is not very common today. Set this do not replace the anti-virus software.
