PC-100 specifications.

2. Always insert the SDRAM card into

DIMM1 slot first and then into DIMM2 or DIMM3.

3. "LOAD BEST DEFAULTS"

in CMOS setup menu loads the system

best default data directly from the flash ROM and initializes the associated hardware properly. This is the default setting for the mainboard.

4. If you experience power on problem with wrong CMOS settings, turn on your computer with INSERT key being pressed, this will force the POST (Power On Self Test) run with default CMOS settings. By this way, you will be able to enter into CMOS setup to correct your settings.

5. There is a basic requirement that the" +5V SB" power of the ATX power supply must be > =

0.2A (200mA) for KBPO (KeyBoard Power On) to operate correctly.

Quick CPU and SDRAM Clock Frequency Selection

In BIOS Setup, the CPU Host/SDRAM Clock item of Chipset Features Setup Menu can set CPU and SDRAM combined clock frequencies. The choices are 133/133, 124/124, 112/112, 100/100, 105/105, 90/90, 95/95, 83/83, 75/75, 66/66, 83/55, 95/63, 66/100, 112/74, 124/82 and Default (66/66).

The BIOS has also been enhanced that it will intelligently judge the CPU Clock Frequency you selected in BIOS Setup. If the selected CPU clock is not acceptable, the system will hang up with black screen after exiting BIOS Setup. When reboot the machine, the following messages will be shown on screen after finishing POST:

“Your previous attempt for setting CPU/SDRAM combined clock has

caused system hanging up. This rebooting has restored the CPU/SDRAM to a 66/66 combination. Please press DEL key to re-enter BIOS SETUP or any other key to accept the default.”

At this point, press “DEL” key to re-enter BIOS Setup to select another CPU/SDRAM combination values or any other key to accept the default.

Features Chapter 2

2-1 Introduction

The WinFast 6200MA - a Socket 370 Processor based Micro ATX Mainboard, integrating with onboard ESS Solo1 Audio and Super AGP VGA for Hardware 2D/3D Video/Graphics Accelerators, is a high performance/cost index Desktop solution for Intel Socket 370 Celeron Series and other compatible CPUs.

The mainboard uses the integrated SiS 620/5595 chipset to support the high performance host bus interface, the DRAM controller, the IDE controller, the PCI interface, 2D/3D Graphics accelerator and video playback accelerator.

The built-in fast PCI IDE controller is ATA-3 compliant, supporting PIO mode 0/1/2/3/4, DMA multiword 0/1/2 and Ultra DMA 33/66 operations. The two IDE channels are fully independent with dedicated 16 double-word FIFO built-in.

The DRAM controller supports 3-DIMM/6-Bank of 3.3V SDRAM. The maximum memory size supported per bank is 256MB, with a total of 1.5GB system memory. The memory clock frequency can be operated at up to 100MHz and can be in synchronous or asynchronous modes with respect to host bus frequency. The supported host/DRAM clock schemes include: 133/133、124/124、112/112、 100/100、105/105、90/90、95/95、 83/83、 75/75、 66/66、 83/55、95/63、66/100、 112/74、124/82 and 133/88. For power saving, the SDRAM can be put into suspend mode.

The PCI interface is PCI2.2 compliant and supports up to 3 PCI masters. The built-in PCI arbiter uses rotating priority arbitration scheme with guaranteed minimum access time for PCI masters, providing fair access as well as low latency for each PCI masters. The integrated 2D accelerator is a 64-bit BITBLT graphics engine. It supports all 256 raster operations and DirectDraw. The accelerated primitives include: BLT, Transparent BLT, Color expansion, Clipping, Multiple scanline, Polylines, Patterns, Trapezoid Fills. Up to 8MB of frame buffer can be used with linear addressing.

The integrated 3D graphics accelerator is composed of the triangle setup engine and the rendering engine. The hardware acceleration features can be enabled by SiS driver under Direct 3D and OpenGL. The supported 3D quality acceleration include: Gouroud Shading, Z buffer, Alpha buffer, Perspective Correction, MipMaping, Tri-linear Texture Filtering, Specular Lighting and Dithering.

The integrated graphics accelerator is compatible with AGP1.0 and PCI2.2 configurationWinFast 6200MA provides UMA mode for display memory allocation. In UMA mode, the display memory is shared with system memory.

In UMA mode operation, the integrated graphics accelerator uses up to 8MB of system memory as display memory, thereby saving the on-board DRAM cost for building a PC system. To reduce the performance degradation inherent from the UMA

architecture, SiS620 has inc luded the super- A GP a rchite cture , whic h c onsists of dual 64bits data path. One data path is between VGA and host bus, the other is between VGA and system memory. Both data paths are operating at 100MHz and provide 800MB/s bandwidth. The internal arbitration logic further allows concurrent transactions to take p l ace in different data paths. As a result, the overall system performance can be maintained at a reasonable high level whil e maximum cost-saving is achieved.

The SiS5595 PCI system I/O integrates the PCI-to-ISA bridge, KBC, USB, RTC, SMBUS, ACPI/APM compatible PMU, system e nvironm ent m onitoring f or the rm al, fan, voltage as well as comprehensive PCI audio support including DDMA, TDMA and SB-Link.

Static Precautions

Static-sensitive electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge.

Precautions

 Use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge.  Touch a grounded metal object before you remove the board from the anti-static

bag.

 Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules, or gold contacts.

 When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.  Put the system board and peripherals back into their anti-static bags when not in

use.

 For grounding purposes, be sure your computer system’s chassis provides

excellent conductive contact between its power supply, case, the mounting fasteners, and the system board.

Unpacking

The system board is shipped in anti-static packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking the board, be sure the person handling the board is static-protected.

3-1 CPU installation

NOTE: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct

pressure on the label area of the fan.

Heat Sink

Follow the instructions that came with your processor or heat sink to attach a heat sink to the processor. Make sure that good contact is made between the CPU chip and the heat sink.

Processor

You are now ready to install the processor. Your motherboard has a 370-pin, PPGA type socket, which supports 370-pin (not SEPP type) Celeron processors. Lift the lever on the PPGA socket and install with the notched corner of the processor oriented with pin 1. Fully seat the processor into the socket and then close the lever. See Figure on next page for views of the PPGA 370-pin socket before and after processor installation.

You should install the processor to the motherboard first, then install the motherboard in the chassis, then the memory and add-on cards, and finally the

WinFast® 6200MA User’s Manual

cables and drivers. Following the installation proce du re s in the order they appear in this chapter should eliminate the most common problems encountered when installing a system.

NOTE: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it

before adding, removing or changing any har dware compo nents.

3-4 DISK Connector

3-4-1 Hard Disk Connector (IDE1, IDE2)

The on-board Enhanced IDE controller can support up to (4) IDE hard drives or other ATAPI devices, such as CD-ROMs. This controller, as with all Enhanced IDE controllers, consists of both Primary (IDE 1) and Secondary (IDE 2) ports. Each port has an associated connector and cable, which can support up to (2) ATAPI devices each. All IDE devices have jumpers, which allow the user to configure the device as either “Master” or “Slave”. A Master device is one that is ALONE on the IDE cable, whereas a Slave device is installed as a SECOND device on the same cable. Keep in mind that the Master device will appear before the Slave device in the CMOS Setup, as well as the Operating System software. *Refer to the device documentation for jumper settings. The Secondary IDE port can be used for up to (2) additional ATAPI devices.

ormally it’s recommended that you connect your first hard drive to the Primary port, and the first CD-ROM to the Secondary. Make sure to align the RED stripe on the ribbon cable with Pin-1 on the mainboard IDE connector. On most hard drives and CD-ROMs, the RED stripe should be oriented towards the power connector of the device. When using Ultra ATA 66 IDE cable, both Master and Slave drive should be Ultra ATA 66 drive. Do not connect CDROM to Ultra ATA 66 IDE cable, this will reduce the efficiency. The black color connector on the cable is for Master drive , grey color connector is for Slave drive and blue color connector is fo

connecting to IDE port onboard. Uitra ATA66 Cable:

3-4-2 Floppy Disk Connector (FDD1)

The on-board floppy controller supports (2) floppy disk drives. Make sure the RED stripe on the ribbon cable is oriented towards Pin-1. Notice the “twist” between the sets of connectors on the floppy cable. The floppy drive “A” position is at the END of the cable, whereas floppy drive “B” is hooked to one of the connectors on the other side of the twist.

ntroduction of BIOS Chapter 4

The Mainboard BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) acts as the bridge between your Hardware (CPU, Disk Drives, Video, etc.) and Operating System Software (Windows 95, OS/2 and so on…) The BIOS Setup (also called CMOS Setup) is where many hardware configuration options are set and stored. This configuration information will remain in the BIOS until it is changed, or cleared by removing the battery for a while then reinstalling it back. CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) refers to the chip in which the BIOS information is stored.

This mainboard also features a “Flash” BIOS. A Flash BIOS can be upgraded via software, thereby eliminating the need to actually replace the “BIOS Chip” on the mainboard. The Award BIOS installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS.

This chapter describes the AwardBIOS Setup program. The Setup program lets you modify basic system configuration settings. The settings are then stored in a dedicated battery-backed memory, called CMOS RAM that retains the information when the power is turned off.

The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup.

The AwardBIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST).

When threes preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating system on one of the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy disk, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands control of system operations to it.

During POST, you can start the Setup program in one of two ways:

1. By pressing Del immediately after switching the system on, or

2. By pressing Del or by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during POST:

TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL KEY

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or by pressing the RESET button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message appears and you are again asked to

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS supports an override to CMOS settings that resets your system to its default configuration.

WinFast® 6200MA User’s Manual

The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset screen without a good reason. Leadtek has carefully chosen the Chipset defaults for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup may causing the system to become unstable.

4-1 Main Menu

When you enter the AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility, a Main Menu appears on the screen. The Main Menu a llows you to sele ct from se veral Setup f unctions and tw o exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the it ems and press Enter to accept and enter the submenu.

Date

The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date information. This field is for information only.

Time

The time format is <hour> <minute> <second>. The time is calculated based on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00.

Primary Master/Primary Slave/Secondary Master/Secondary Slave Hard Disk

The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives.

NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.

The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of almost all IDE drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications during POST, every time the system boots.

If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type are available:

1. Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the programmed values for types 1 through 45.

2. Select type USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.

3. Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup.

Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:

Leadtek Research Inc.

• Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads, write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors. Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any pre-defined type are classified as type USER.

• Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking program.

• Cyls: Number of cylinders.

• Head: Number of heads

• Precomp: Write precompensation cylinder

• Landz: Landing zone

• Sector: Number of sectors

• Mode: Auto, Normal, Large, or LBA

o Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode. o Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads and sectors supported are

1024, 16 and 63.

o La rge: For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024

cylinders.

o LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the IDE

controller transforms the data address described by sector, head and cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders.

Drive A /Drive B

Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed in your computer: The choice: N one , 36 0K (5.2 5 in) , 1. 2M ( 5. 25 i n), 720K ( 3.5 in) , 1 .4 4M ( 3.5 in), 2.8 8M ( 3. 5 in) .

Video

Select the type of primary video subsystem in your computer. The BIOS usually detects the correct video type automatically. The BIO S also supports a secondary video s ubs ystem, but yo u can not select it in Setup. The choice: CGA40, CGA80, MONO, EGA/ VGA.

Halt On

During the power-on self test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware error. You can tell the BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process. The followings are the selections:

All, But Keyboard POST does not stop for a keyboard error, but stops for all other errors. All, But Diskette POST does not stop for diskette drive errors, but st op for all othe

errors.

All, But Disk/Key POST does not stop for a keyboard or disk error, but stops for all othe

errors.

All errors If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error, POST stops and prompts you

to take corrective action.

o errors POST does not stop for any error.

Memory

You can not change an y values in the Mem ory fields, they are only for you r informa tion, The fields show the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base

WinFast® 6200MA User’s Manual

memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory.

RAM is the computer’s working memory, where the computer stores programs and data currently being used, so they are accessible to CPU.

• Base Memory: Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS

operating system and conventional applications use this area.

• Extende d Memory: Above the 1-MB boundary.

• Other Memory: Between 640 KB and 1 MB, often called High memory.

Anti-Virus Protection

This item is enabled by default; the AwardBIOS will monitor the boot sector to see if there is virus. If virus is found the BIOS will halt on the system and the following warning message will appear.

! PBVA WARNING !

Paragon Boot Virus analyzer has detected

virus activity on hard disk.

We recommend you to press:

[Enter] Boot from clean disk

[C] Continue Boot

NOTE: When enabling this item, the monitoring boot sector

virus only happens at the booting period. After entering the system this function is disabled automatically. So you can run any kind of program such as many disk diagnostic programs, which attempts to access boot sectors or the partition table of hard disk drive when it is running.

WinFast® 6200MA User’s Manual

CPU Internal Cache/External Cache

This field is effective only in system with two floppy drives. This item allows you to determine whether to enable the swap floppy drive or not. (i.e. physical floppy disk A assigned to logical drive B or physical drive B to logical drive A) The choices are Enabled/Disabled.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are all 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time.

Enabled BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or 80 tracks. Disabled BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track number.

Shadow

Software that resides in a read-only memory (ROM) chip on a device is called “firmware”. The

WinFast® 6200MA User’s Manual

AwardBIOS permits shadowing of firmware such as the system BIOS, video BIOS and similar operating instructions that come with some expansion peripherals, such as, for example, a SCSI adapter.

Shadowing copies fi rmware from ROM int o system RAM, where the CPU can read it through the 16-bit or 32-bi t DRAM bus. Firmware not shadowed mu st be read by system t hrough the 8-bit X-bus. Shadowing improves the performance of the system BIOS and similar ROM firmware for ex pansio n pe ri pher al s, b ut it al so re duce s the am ou nt of hig h me mo ry (640 K B to 1 MB) available for loading device drivers, etc.

4-4 Chipset Features Setup Menu

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.

RAS Pulse Width Refresh

Select the number of CPU clock cycles allotted for the RAS pulse refresh, according to DRAM specifications.

RAS Precharge Time

The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refreshes. If insufficient time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain data.

RAS to CAS Delay

When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe).

WinFast® 6200MA User’s Manual

ISA Bus Clock Fre quency

The ISA bus clock speed is the speed at which the CPU communicates with the AT bus (expansion bus ). Th e speed is measu red a s a fract ion of PC ICLKI, t he ti ming si gna l of the PC I bus. Experiment with setting the bus timing to a lower speed (for example, from PCICLKI/3 to PCICLKI/4) if an installed expansion peripheral has performance problems.

Starting Point of Paging

This value controls the start timing of memory paging operations.

SDRAM CAS Latency

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field from the default value specified by the system designer.

SDRAM WR Retire Rate

The system desi gner must select the correct timin g for data transfers from the write bu ffer to memory, according to DRAM specifications.

4-6 PNP/PCI Configuration

The PCI Personal Component Interconnect Bus was developed primarily to address two important issues: a) How to allow peripheral devices to take the fullest advantage of the power of CPU technology, and b) Provide a simpler installation process for peripheral devices, such as Network cards, EIDE or SCSI controllers.

PCI accomplishes these goals with its 32-bit Data path Local Bus design, and support for Plug & Play. Unlike older expansion bus architectures, PCI provides peripherals with a direct connection to the CPU and memory. The PCI bus runs at 33Mhz and has a maximum transfer capability of 132MBps. With Plug & Play, the system BIOS automatically determines hardware resources for new peripherals, simplifying installation of multiple interface cards.

This Setup Menu provides configuration options for the PCI Bus and its assigned resources.

Passwords can be set to provide protection for the BIOS configuration options, or to restrict access to the computer itself.

When enabled, User Password will require all users to enter a password in order to use the system, and/or enter the BIOS setup (but can’t change its contents). A Supervisor Passw ord is use d to prote ct the st ored C MOS optio ns f rom being cha nged by unauthorized users.

Keep in mind that when set, a password is required only when booting the system. It will not provide protection to a system that is already booted.

The password check option is set in BIOS FEATURES SETUP by choosing either System (the password prompt appears every time the system is powered on) or Setup (the password prompt appears only when the user enters the BIOS Setup). The password is stored in CMOS RAM, and ca n be c le a re d by removing the battery for a while and then re-installing it back.

To set a password:

1. You must first set the Supervisor password by choosing Supervisor Password and pressing [ENTER]. Setup prompts for a password.

2. Enter a 1-8 character password using letters , numbers, or a combina tion of both. The specific characters are not shown as you enter them. Press [ENTER].

3. A confirmation box appears as king y ou to re- enter the pas sw ord. Enter the password aga in. Pres s [ENTER ]. Follow the sam e proce dure t o se t t he User Password.

Changing a Password:

1. Select the appropriate password option ( Superv isor or Use r) f rom the m a in menu and press [ENTER]. Enter the current password and press [Enter]. The screen does not displ ay the characters entered. Enter in the new password, then the confirmation. You cannot change the current password unless you know it.

Erasing a Password:

1. If you know the current password, but want to disable password checking, follow the procedure for changing the password. When Setup prompts for the new password, simply press [ENTER]. You will see a message indicating that the password is disabled.

2. If you do not know the current password, the CMOS must be cleared by removing the battery for a while and then re-installing it back. *This will clear all user-defined BIOS.

4-12 IDE HDD Auto Detection

The "IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION" utility is a very useful tool especially when you do not know which kind of hard disk type you are using. You can use this utility to detect the correct disk type installed in the system automatically. But now you can set HARD DISK TYPE to Auto in the STANDARD CMOS SETUP. You do not need the "IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION" utility. The BIOS will Auto-detect the hard disk size and model during POST.

NOTE: HDD Modes The Award BI O S sup po r ts 3 H D D m odes : NORMAL, LBA and LARGE mode. Gene r ic ac ce ss mode that is neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make transformations during accessing.

NORMAL mode The maximum numbers of cylinders, head & sectors for NORMAL mode are 1024, 16 and 63. no. Cylinder ( 10 24) x no. Head ( 16) x no. Sector ( 63) x no . per sector( 512) = 5 2 8 Megabytes

If an user sets the HDD to NORM AL mode, the maxi mum accessible HD D size will be 52 8 Megabytes even though its physical size m ay be greater tha n that.

LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode: This is a new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck. The number of cyl inder s, heads and se ctors s how n in the setup m ay not be the num ber physical ly contained in the HDD. During the HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform the logical address descr ibed by sector , hea d and cyl inder in to its ow n phy sical a ddre ss insi de t he HD D. The maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode can be larger than 8.4 GB for IDE hard drives. These BIOSes have built-in INT13 extension support. Full support of hard drives beyond the 8.4-GB capacity requires support in both the BIOS and the operating system. The table below shows the maximum hard drive partition size and total capacity supported by different operating systems:

Operating System Max. Partition Size Max. HDD Capacit y MS DOS 2.1 GB < = 8.4 GB Win95 OSR1 2.1 GB >8.4 GB Win95 OSR2
