Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

2.1 Choosing a Computer Chassis

• Choose a chassis big enough to install this mainboard.

• As some features for this mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis supports all the features required.

• If there is possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has sufcient

power and space for them.

• Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O shield

of the chassis matches the I/O port conguration of this mainboard. You can nd an I/O shield specically designed for this mainboard in its package.

2.2 Installing Mainboard

Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow the mainboard to be securely attached, and at the same time, prevent the system from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the mainboard to the chassis base: (1)with studs, or (2) with spacers. Basically, the best way to attach the board is with studs. Only if you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Line up the holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and there are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the chassis back on.

To install this mainboard:

1. Locate all the screw holes on the mainboard and the chassis base.

2. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have them tightened.

3. Face the mainboard’s I/O ports toward the chassis’s rear panel.

4. Line up all the mainboard’s screw holes with those studs or spacers on the chassis.

5. Install the mainboard with screws and have them tightened.

2.3 Installation of the CPU and CPU Cooler

Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the mainboard supports the CPU.

2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction of the CPU.

3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and CPU cooler.

4. Please make sure the CPU cooler is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.

5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specications since it

does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency

beyond the proper specications, please do so according to your hardware specications

including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

2.3.1 Installation of the CPU

1. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90o.

Figure 1

4. When the CPU is in place, push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.

Minix785G Series User's Manual

2.3.2 Installation of the CPU Cooler

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU Cooler.

We suggest there should be active cooling to the chip set area in order to let the motherboard

function properly, completely enclosed system environment without adequate air ow will result

in chipset overheat, which is not recommended.

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules

This mainboard provides two 200-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate) SODIMM slots and supports

Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install two

identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDRII DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.

To install system memory:

1. Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules.

2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.

3. Insert the SODIMM module at a 45 degree angle.

4. Push the SODIMM module back towards the board until the clips lock the module in place.

5. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.

St a t i c el e c tricit y ca n damage th e el e ctron i c components of th e c omp uter or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a

grounded metal object briey.

Checking Jumper Settings

• For a 2-pin jumper, plug the jumper cap on both pins will make it CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the

jumper cap, or plug it on either pin (reserved for future use) will leave it at OPEN position.

• For 3-pin jumper, pin 1~2 or pin 2~3 can be shorted by plugging the jumper cap in.

How to identify the PIN1 jumpers? Please check the mainboard carefully, the PIN1 is marked by "1" or white thick line.

1-JBAT(CMOS Memory Clearing Header)

The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a) the CMOS data becomes corrupted, (b) you forgot the supervisor or user password preset in the BIOS menu, (c) you are unable to boot-up the system because the CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu, or (d) whenever

there is modication on the CPU or memory modules.

This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS

memory and have it recongured to the default values

stored in BIOS.

• Pins 1 and 2 shorted (Default): Normal operation.

• Pins 2 and 3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Utility

BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. It was once called ROM BIOS when it was stored in a Read-Only Memory (ROM) chip. Now manufacturers would like to store BIOS in EEPROM which means Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory. BIOS used in this series of mainboard is stored

in EEPROM, and is the rst program to run when you turn on your computer.

BIOS performs the following functions:

1. Initializing and testing hardware in your computer (a process called "POST", for Power On Self Test).

2. Loading and running your operating system.

3. Helping your operating system and application programs manage your PC hardware by means of a set of routines called BIOS Run-Time Service.

4.1 About BIOS Setup

BIOS Setup is an interactive BIOS program that you need to run when:

1. Changing the hardware of your system. (For example: installing a new Hard Disk etc.)

2. Modifying the behavior of your computer. (For example: changing the system time or date, or turning special features on or off etc.)

3. Enhancing your computer's behavior. (For example: speeding up performance by turning on shadowing or cache)

4.2 To Run BIOS Setup

First access BIOS setup menu by pressing <F1> key after “POST” is complete (before OS is loaded). After the rst BIOS be setupped(or loaded default values) and save, the <DEL> key will

be pressed if you will enter BIOS setup menu.

4.3 About CMOS

CMOS is the memory maintained by a battery. CMOS is used to store the BIOS settings you have selected in BIOS Setup. CMOS also maintains the internal clock. Every time you turn on your

computer, the BIOS Looks into CMOS for the settings you have selected and congures your

computer accordingly. If the battery runs out of power, the CMOS data will be lost and POST will

issue a “CMOS invalid” or “CMOS checksum invalid” message. If this happens, you have to replace the battery and check and congure the BIOS Setup for the new start.

4.4 The POST (Power On Self Test)

POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. This program will test all things the BIOS does

- 17 -

Minix785G Series User's Manual

before the operating system is started. Each of POST routines is assigned a POST code, a unique number which is sent to I/O port 080h before the routine is executed.

4.5 BIOS Setup — CMOS Setup Utility

In order to increase system stability and performance, our engineering staff is constantly

•

After powering up the system, the BIOS message appears on the screen,when the rst time or when CMOS setting wrong, there is following message appears on the screen , but if the rst rst BIOS be setuped(or loaded default values) and save, the <DEL> key will be pressed if you

will enter BIOS setup menu.

If this message disappears before you respond, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt>+ <Del> keys, or by pressing the reset button on computer chassis. Only when these two methods should be fail that you restart the system by powering it off and then back on. After pressing <F1> or <Del> key, the main menu appears.

improving the BIOS menu. The BIOS setup screens and descriptions illustrated in this manual are for your reference only, and may not completely match with what you see on your screen. Do not change the BIOS parameters unless you fully understand its function.
