1-1 Introduction
The PEAK 632A is a full size Sing l e Bo ard Computer. It appli e s Si ng l e Soc k et 370
FC-PGA based processor, supporting both 66 MHz (Celeron) and 100 MHz (Pentium
III) Front Side Bus. The memory it can accommodat e i s 1 GB SDRAM up to 100
MHz.
Meanwhile, this card is on-board with the following three significant I/Os which help
to spare out more PCI slots for other add-on I/Os, i.e. the C&T 69000/69030
VGA/Panel controller through AGP interface; the Intel 82559 Ethernet and the
Adaptec 7890 Ultra 2 SCSI. Components with a ll o f the a bov e branded a nd
powerful. PEAK 632A is o bviously a fo r midable platform ideal for heavy duty and
computer telephony application.
The other on-board I/Os includes 2S1P, the high precision RTC with battery, the
Watch Dog Timer, DOC, IDE×2, FDC×1, USB×2, and PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse.

Capability Expanding
This chapter explains how you can expand capability of your CPU board in such
aspects as system memory, cache memory, and CPU.
3-1 System Memory
Your system memory is provided by DIMM's (Dual In-line Memory Modules) on the
CPU board. The CPU board contains four memory banks: Bank 0, 1, 2, 3,
corresponds to connector DIMM1, DIMM2, DIMM3 and DIMM4.
The table below shows possible DIMM configurations for the memory banks.
You can also use the DIMM with parity check. The ECC (Error Checking and
Correction) could be turned on if parity DIMMS are used. The ECC will correct
one bit error and report two bit errors. Please be noted that the PEAK 6320A only
supports the SDRAM.

Installing DIMM
To install the DIMM , first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the
penposition, i.e. the handles stay outward. Slowly slide the DIMM modules
along the plastic guides in the both ends of the socket. Then press the DIMM
module down right into the socket, until a click is heard. That means the two
handles automatically locked the memory modules into the right position of the
DIMM socket as Figure 3-1 shows. To take away the memory module, just push the
both handles outward , the memory module will be ej ected by the mech anism in the
socket.

3-2 Cache Memory
Since the second level cache has been embedded into the Pentium II CPU. You do
not have to take care of either SRAM chips or SRAM mod ules. The built-in second
level cache in the Pentium II yields much higher performance than the external ones.
The cache size in the Pentium II CPU is either 256KB or 512KB. Normally, for
workstation and server applications, th e 256KB version is good enou gh. However,
if your system is for heavy duty applications, the 512kB version will help a lot.
Specifically for our Pentium II based SBC, the Pentium II has another version
provide much better data security if combined with the DRAM ECC, please check
with your vendor for various Pentium II models.
Figure 3-2 Memory Banks
The level 2 cache of the Peak 6320A is built in the Celeron/Pentium III current
Celerons have 128 KB on die L2 Cache which is very fast because it’s running at the
CPU speed. Fut ure Celerons/Pentium III might be upgr aded to 256 KB L2 Cache.

Place the new CPU on the mid dle of the socket, orienting its beveled corner to line up
with the socket's beveled corner. Make sure the pins of the CPU fit evenly to the
socket openings. Replace the handling bar to fasten the CPU to the socket. Be
sure to re-arrange the jumper setting for the correct external clock (66MHz or

This is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address
map.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is

(2) HDD Modes
The Award BIO S supports 3 HDD modes : NORMAL, LBA & LARGE
NORMAL mode
Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any
transformations during accessing .
The maximum number of cylinders, head & sectors for NORMAL mode are
1024, 16 & 63.
no. Cyclinder (1024)
x no. Head ( 16)
x no. Sector ( 63)
x no. per sector ( 512)
528 Megabytes
If user set his HDD to NORMAL mode, the maximum accessible HDD size will be
528 Megabytes ev en tho ugh its physical size may be g reater than that!
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode
A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megaby te bottleneck . The
number of cylinders, heads & sectors shown in setup may not be the number
physically contained in
the HDD.
During HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform the logical address
described by sector, head & cylinder number into its own physical address
inside the HDD.
BIOS Setup 4-
34
Page 65
PEAK 632A User Guide
The maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode is 8.4 Gigabytes which is
obtained by
the following fo rmula:
no. Cyclinder ( 1024)
x no. Head ( 255)
x no. Sector ( 63)
x bytes per sector ( 512)
8.4 Gigabytes
LARGE mode
Extended HDD access mode supported by Award So f tw are.
Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support (in
some cases, user do not want LBA). The Award BIOS provides another
alternative to support these kinds of HDD!
Example of LARGE mode:
CYLS. HEADS SECTOR MODE
1120 16 59 NORMAL
560 32 59 LARGE
BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) that the number of cylinders is less than 1024 by
dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is multiplied by 2. A
reverse transformation process will be made inside INT13h in order to access the
right HDD address the right HDD address!
Maximum HDD size:
no. Cyclinder ( 1024)
x no. Head ( 32)
x no. Sector ( 63)
x bytes per sector ( 512)

POST Beep
Currently there is only one beep code in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error has
occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional
information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps.
Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error
during the POST. T his list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.
CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
Checksum of C MO S is inco rrect. This can indicate that CMO S has beco m e corrupt. This
error may hav e been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary .
