Configuring the M6DPi
Although the M6DPi system board is packaged in pro­tective materials, it is important to use care while un­packing and setting up.
Static Electricity
The M6DPi 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 M6DPi via the solder pads surrounding one of its mounting holes.
Once the M6DPi 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.
Environment Considerations
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.

Installing the M6DPi
Introduction
This chapter explains how to install the M6DPi system board, memory, CPU and peripherals.
WARNING: Before installing or removing any peripherals or components, make sure you have a clear work space and that you adhere to all anti-static precautions described in Chapter 1. Micronics recommends only trained technicians install and configure 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 dealer where you purchased the peripheral or Micronics’ Technical Support Department.
System Memory Support
The flexibility of the M6DPi is augmented by its support for EDO and FPM DRAM memory and ECC. The M6DPi supports ECC (with 72-bit DIMMs or 36-bit SIMMs) via the chipset.
EDO memory is designed to keep data available to the processor for an extended period of time. The EDO memory support extends the performance of conven­tional DRAM memory. The result is an improvement in memory-access performance on the M6DPi system board.

Chapter 3: Installing the M6DPi
Installing the M6DPi
Installation of the M6DPi system board depends on the type of case you use. The M6DPi is designed for the full­size AT form factor and is likely to be limited to tower cases. NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with installing a system board, Micronics highly recommends that 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 M6DPi:
Small Phillips screwdriver Tweezers or a pair of needle-nose pliers Tray (to hold loose screws)
Equipment Required
Micronics recommends using the following equipment with the M6DPi for a typical configuration:
Chassis with standard hardware (tower case prefer-
able).
A high-quality power supply capable of providing
continuous power within a 5 volt range. A power filter may be used with a noisy AC power source.
PS/2 mouse and compatible keyboard. Eight ohm speaker. Standard ribbon cables for internal connections. Standard power cord (grounded). Heat sink with cooling fan for each CPU (required).

Chapter 3: Installing the M6DPi
System Memory
System memory is necessary to operate the M6DPi sys­tem board. The M6DPi supports DIMM modules for the main memory. There are four 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMM sockets for a maximum of 1 Gbyte of memory. Each socket provides a 64/72-bit wide data path.
The M6DPi also supports SIMM modules for the i960 processor. There are two 72-pin SIMM sockets for a maximum of 128MB of memory. Each socket provides a 32/36-bit wide data path. These sockets are needed only when using the i960 processor.
Support is provided for EDO and FPM DRAM memory. This section lists the rules for adding memory to the M6DPi, give some examples of common memory con­figurations and show how to physically install the memory.
Adding Memory
The following is a list of rules to follow when upgrading DIMMs and SIMMs. If you follow these rules, your upgrade should be trouble-free:
Use 70ns or faster DIMMs and SIMMs. NOTE: For
long term reliability, Micronics recommends using DIMMs with gold-plated contacts and SIMMs with tin-plated contacts.
Both SIMM and DIMM (unbuffered) memory mod-
ules support FPM and EDO memory types.
Singled-sided and double-sided memory modules
supported.
Use the same type and size of memory for every bank.
Different memory types and sizes in separate banks will cause performance of the memory to run at the speed of the slowest RAM installed.

Configuration
After the M6DPi 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. This will make it easier to correct any difficulties that might arise.
Initial Boot Up
Power up the M6DPi. If the system does not 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 B and/or C for a guide to possible solutions.
After the system properly boots, it is ready to be config­ured. The following information explains the proper procedures for BIOS configuration.
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.

The environment in which the M6DPi is located is critical. 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. Micronics recommends the following environmental speci­fications:
Temperature Range
Operating: 50 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 40 degrees Celsius).
Non -Operating: 50 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 60 degrees Celsius).
Shipping: -22 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-30 to 60 degrees Celsius).
Relative Humidity
Operating: 20% to 80%. Non-Operating: 5% to 90%.
Power Supply Specifications
The M6DPi requires a 3.3Volt AT power supply. You can purchase this power supply from most computer vendors. When purchasing this power supply, ask for a (Split Volt­age) 3.3 volt AT power supply with the traditional AT connectors to the system board.
This power supply will have the traditional P8 and P9 for standard AT sources and P10 and P11 for the 3.3 volt source. Make sure the power supply also has a +5 volt Standby Power and Soft Power connection (P13), which is the ATX standard. In addition, it would be advisable to request an extra +5 volt source for P12.

If text appears on the video screen, the M6DPi has completed POST; any other tone from the speaker indicates something other than a POST error. These tones are not described in the tables on the following pages.
The beep error codes are a series 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 tables list all beep codes and POST routines.

If you encounter any problems during this process, or if you have questions about the procedure, please call Technical Support.
Updating the System BIOS
The Micronics system boards are designed so that the BIOS can be reprogrammed using a BIOS file. You can easily FLASH a BIOS by following the steps below:
1) After downloading the appropriate BIOS file from our BBS or Website, extract it to a bootable MS­DOS 6.X diskette.
2) Reboot your system with the MS-DOS 6.X diskette in the A: drive. To make sure a clean DOS environ­ment is loaded, press the F5 key while “Starting MS­DOS” is displayed. After the system has rebooted, the cursor will appear at the A:> prompt.
3) Now you can run the FLASH utility. The filename should be “PHLASH.EXE.” Type this filename at the A:> prompt (but don’t include its extension), followed by a space and the BIOS ROM image’s filename. This file will be included in the download and has a file length of about 131K or 262K. For example, to update the M6DPi to BIOS version 01, you would type:
PHLASH M6DPi_01.ROM [ENTER]
4) After the update process has completed and the system reboots, verify that the new BIOS version appears on-screen. If you have problems during this process, or if you have questions about the proce­dure, please call Technical Support.
NOTE: If you prefer to send your system board in for the upgrade, the Micronics RMA department offers this service free of charge if your system board is under warranty.
