Although the LPX54 system board is packaged in protective
materials, it is important to use care while unpacking and setting up.

Static Electricity

The LPX54 is shipped from the factory in an antistatic bag. To reduce
the possibility of damage, it is important to neutralize any accumulated
static charges on your body before handling the board. The best way to
do this is to ground yourself using a special wrist or ankle strap. If you
do not have a strap, you should touch both of your hands to a safely
grounded object. After you have grounded yourself, ground the LPX54
via the solder pads surrounding one of its mounting holes.

Once the LPX54 is removed from its packaging, place it on top of the
antistatic bag. Carefully inspect the board for damage which may have
occurred during shipment.

Jumper Settings

Office Environment

Make sure the finished computer system is in an area with good ventila­tion. The system should not be in direct sunlight, near heaters, or
exposed to moisture, dust, or dirt.

sure you have a clear work space and adhere to all anti-static precau­tions described on page 2-1. Micronics recommends only trained
technicians operate on the system board. Damage which occurs to the
board while adding or removing peripherals or components may void
the warranty.

If problems arise while installing peripherals, contact the computer
outlet where you purchased the peripheral or Micronics’ Technical
Support Department.

3-1

Micronics LPX54 System Board Manual

Installation of the LPX54

The installation of the LPX54 system board depends on the type of case you
use. The LPX54 is an integrated, low profile LPX system board and should be
limited to installation in a low profile chassis.

Prior to installing the LPX54, make sure you have a clear work space available
and adhere to all anti-static precautions.

If you are unfamiliar with installing a system board, Micronics highly recom­mends you read the computer user’s manual or contact your dealer’s technical
support department.

Tools Required

Micronics recommends using the following tools to install the LPX54:

m Small Phillips screwdriver.

m Tweezers or a pair of needle-nose pliers.

m Tray (to hold loose screws).

Equipment Required

Micronics recommends using the following equipment with the LPX54 for a
typical configuration:

m LPX or Low Profile Chassis.

m A high quality power supply capable of providing continuous power

within a 5 volt range, plus or minus 5% (eg. 4.75 to 5.25). A power
filter may be used with a noisy AC power source.

m PS/2 or compatible keyboard.

m Eight ohm speaker.

m Standard ribbon cables for internal connections.

m Standard power cord (grounded).

m Heat sink with cooling fan (required).

3-2

Installing System Memory and Add-On Peripherals

System Memory

System memory devices, commonly known as SIMMs (Single Inline Memory
Modules), are necessary to operate the LPX54 system board. The LPX54 has
four SIMM sockets and can be upgraded to 128 Megabytes of RAM. This
section will explain the type of SIMMs supported, list the rules of adding
memory to the LPX54, give some examples of common memory configura­tions, and show how to physically install the new SIMMs.

SIMMs Supported

The LPX54 supports the following 72 pin, 60ns or 70ns SIMMs:

4MB (1Mx36)
8MB (2Mx36)
16MB (4Mx36)
32MB (8Mx36)

Note:
For long term reliability, Micronics recommends using SIMMs with gold­plated contacts. The use of tin-plated contacts may conflict with the gold on
the SIMM socket.

Upgrading Rules

The following is a list of rules to follow when upgrading SIMMs. If you
follow these rules, your upgrade should be trouble-free:

m Use 70ns or faster SIMMs.

m Upgrade SIMMs one bank at a time. Each bank must contain two

SIMMs of the same size and preferably from the same manufacturer.
To add 16MB of memory to the system board, install two 8MB
SIMMs into the same bank.

m When installing SIMMs, fill bank 0, then bank 1.

Configuration

After the LPX54 system board and all hardware is installed, the system
is ready for configuration. Before turning on the computer, make sure
all cables are correctly connected and all jumpers are correctly set.

It is recommended you keep the computer cover off the first time you
boot the system. If you have any difficulties, they will be easier to
correct.

Initial Boot Up

Power up the LPX54. If the system doesn’t properly boot, check all
your cables and peripherals for bad connections. You may also get beep
codes or error messages. If this occurs, consult Appendices A and/or B
for a guide to possible solutions.

After the system properly boots, it is ready to be configured. The
following pages explain the proper procedures for BIOS configuration.

4-1

Micronics LPX54 System Board Manual

Setup

The Setup program is used to configure the computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/
Output System). The computer’s BIOS is responsible for configuring the
system board and providing hardware information to the operating system. In
order for the computer to run properly, run the Setup procedure after first
installing the system board and whenever you make a hardware change to the
system.

After the system is turned on and goes through a memory test, the Power-Up
Screen (Figure 4-1) will appear on your monitor:

Figure 4-1 Power-Up Screen

When “Press <F2> to enter SETUP” appears at the bottom of the screen, press
the <F2> key to begin the Setup procedure. The CMOS Main Screen (Figure
4-2) should appear and the prompt should be on the time line. The Setup
procedure can only be activated during the boot sequence.

4-2

The BIOS Setup Utility

Running the Setup Procedure

The LPX54 system board has four primary CMOS configuration screens: the
Main Screen (Figure 4-2), the Advanced Screen (Figure 4-8), the Security
Screen (Figure 4-10), and the Exit Screen (Figure 4-12). To toggle between
the screens, press the right arrow <→> and the left arrow < ←> keys.

Setting the Main Screen

The CMOS Main Screen (Figure 4-2) is used to set the time and date, to set
the floppy drive types, to configure the hard disks, and to configure the video.
This section explains how to configure each of these categories. To move
between the categories, use the up arrow <↑> and the down arrow <↓>.

Figure 4-2 CMOS Main Screen

System Time and Date

To set the time, use the <-> key to decrease the number and the <+> key to
increase the number. To move the prompt forward, use the <Tab> key; to
move the prompt backward, use the <Shift-Tab> key. To set the date, use the

4-3

Micronics LPX54 System Board Manual

up and down arrows<↑/↓> to highlight the System Date and follow the same
procedure used to set the time.

Diskette A or B

To configure a floppy drive added to or removed from your computer, use the
up and down arrow keys <↑/↓> to select the drive you wish to set. Use the
<+/-> keys to change the setting until it matches the floppy drive you have
installed. The BIOS supports 2.88MB, 1.44MB, 1.2MB, 720KB, and 360KB
floppy drives.

IDE Devices (Hard Disk Setup)

If you are setting up a SCSI hard disk, you will need to select [None] in the
IDE Device parameters (see you SCSI card manual for more details).

To install an IDE device, select the device you wish to configure and press
<Enter>. An IDE Device submenu will appear. (Figure 4-3).

Figure 4-3 IDE Device Submenu

The easiest way to set your IDE devices is to let the BIOS do it for you. When
the IDE Device submenu first appears, the Autotype Fixed Disk selection will
be highlighted. Simply press <Enter>, and the remaining information will
automatically be entered.

4-4

The BIOS Setup Utility

Do not adjust the rest of the settings unless absolutely necessary. The BIOS
will automatically enter the correct settings.

Video System

This sets the type of video board installed into the system. You may choose
from: VGA/SVGA (default), CGA 80x25, MONO, and Not Installed.

Video BIOS

The Video BIOS Option allows you to Shadow, Shadow & Cache, or Disable
the BIOS Shadow on the system board. Choosing SHADOWED copies the
system’s video BIOS into RAM for faster execution. Choosing SHADOWED
& CACHED caches the shadowed video BIOS for even higher performance.

Boot Options Submenu

Move the prompt to Boot Sequence and press <Enter>. The following screen
(Figure 4-4) will appear.

Figure 4-4 Boot Options Submenu

When enabled, this category verifies the floppy drive is installed on boot. For
faster booting, select DISABLED (default).

Numlock:

Setting this to Enabled will activate Numlock upon boot. Setting this to Auto
will activate Numlock if the BIOS detects a numeric keyboard. It may also be
disabled.

System Memory

The System Memory category identifies the size of the base memory. It
cannot be changed.

Extended Memory

The Extended Memory category automatically detects the amount of memory
installed above the amount in the System Memory category. Because the
BIOS automatically calculates the amount of memory installed in your system,
you cannot change this category without adding or removing memory.

Accelerator Software

The LPX54 comes standard with the ATI mach64 video chip on board.
The mach64 chip is a 64-bit graphics accelerator offering superior video
performance. Certain utilities must be run before using the mach64.
For optimal performance, install the utilities completely.

Preparation

Make sure that no hardware (internal modems, fax cards, or LAN cards)
are using addresses between the range of 2E0 to 2EF, such as COM 4
(2E8). If they are occupied, change the device(s) to a different range
outside of 2E0 through 2EF.

Make sure LAN cards, scanner cards and other adapters are not using
memory addresses between C0000 and C7FFF. Check and record the
amount of memory installed on the system board.

Review the CONFIG.SYS file to determine if a Memory Manager
Device driver is loaded. Memory Manager Device drivers (for example;
EMM386, QEMM, and 386MAX) may interfere with the mach64
installation. Install the Memory Manager after the mach64 is com­pletely loaded.

5-1

Micronics LPX54 System Manual

Installation

Perform the following steps to install mach64 graphic utilities:

1. Turn on the monitor and then the computer. (This allows mach64 to
read the monitor type from the monitor during power-up for proper
card operation).

2. From the DOS prompt, insert Disk 1 of the utilities into the
appropriate floppy drive.

3. From the drive where the utilities diskette is located, type INSTALL
and press <Enter>.

4. After the INSTALL program is initialized and loaded, the Main Menu
appears (see Figure 5-1).

5-6

Installing Graphics Accelerator Software

Troubleshooting

Listed below are several checks you can make to help determine the cause of
any problems:

System Lockup

M If you are using a memory manager such as QEMM or 386MAX, you

need to modify the command line in the CONFIG.SYS file so the
address of the graphics card video BIOS, C0000-C7FFF, is excluded.
For example, add “X=C000-C7FF” to the command line

M Remove all unnecessary boards.

M Disable shadow RAM.

M Ensure the board is seated correctly and the card has been installed

using proper utilities.

M Try the card in a different system and reset to factory defaults using

the INSTALL program. If the card works in another system, the
problem is likely due to incorrect configuration.

Test Patterns OK; Applications Do Not Sync

M The wrong monitor type has been selected. Change the settings in the

INSTALL program.

Window Driver Not Installing Properly

M Windows must be running in 386 Enhanced Mode. Incompatible

commands or options within CONFIG.SYS may prevent Windows
from starting in enhanced mode. If this occurs, remove the offending
driver or reinstall the memory manager software.

AutoCAD Driver Not Installing Properly

M If using a 386, ensure AutoCAD has been configured for the

appropriate ADI driver. The protected mode driver requires extended
memory.

5-7

Micronics LPX54 System Board Manual

Solution

Try reinstalling or run the diagnostics using

the /F switch. This returns the card to

factory settings: M64DIAG /F <Enter>.

If you receive an error message indicating

the memory aperture location is conflicting

with your system memory, restart the

INSTALL program as follows: INSTALL

APMP <Enter>. Now when you enable

Memory Aperture, you must select a

location

above but not overlapping

System

Memory (S), BIOS (B), or Reserved (R)

locations. If the problem is due to address

limitations inherent with the ISA bus

architecture (i.e., aperture + system RAM

exceeds 16MB, disable aperture).

A mode displayed in gray means the BIOS

is told this mode is not available, based on

the card configuration. Reinstall using

custom monitor selection.

The test program has determined the mode

or test is not available under current

configuration. Aperture tests are not

available if the aperture is disabled, and

CRT mode and pixel depth are determined

by current installation, DAC type, and

memory size and type.

Beep Codes

B

Beep codes are a series of beeps sent through the speaker which indicate
a problem during the Power On Self Test (POST). If text appears on the
video screen, the LPX54 has completed POST; any other tone from the
speaker indicates something other than a POST error. These tones are
not described in Table B-1.

The beep error codes are a series of three sets of beeps. The duration of
the beep tones are constant, but the length of the pauses between the
beeps varies. For example: a 1-3-3 beep code will sound like one beep,
a pause; three beeps consecutively, another pause; and then three more
beeps.

One beep code is often misunderstood. If a video card is not installed or
is failing, the system board will generate a long-short-long-short beep
code. This is often interpreted as a 1-2-1 beep code. But POST errors
always vary in the length of the pause and not the duration of the beep
tone.

Another way of identifying a POST error is to use a device called a
POST card. This peripheral card is inserted into one of the ISA slots
and has an LED (or LCD) read out showing the contents of port 80h.

The following table provides a list of all beep codes and probable
causes.
