Install Memory

The mainboard has two DIMM slots which can be installed with memory modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to use the mainboard.

For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V memory modules installed with SDRAM memory chips. You must use memory that operates on a 100 MHz memory bus (PC-100 memory). You can install any size of memory module from 16 MB up to 256 MB, so the maximum memory size is 2 x 256 MB = 512 MB.

The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs, which coincide with struts in the DIMM slots, so the memory modules can only be installed in the correct way.

On the DIMM slot, pull the locking latches at either end of the slots outwards. Position the memory module correctly and insert it into the DIMM slot. Press the module down into the slot so that the locking latches lever inwards and lock the module in place.

Expansion Slots

If you want to install more IDE devices, you can purchase a second IDE cable and connect one or two devices to the Secondary IDE channel connector IDE2 on the mainboard. If you have two devices on the cable, one must be Master and one must be Slave.

Internal Sound Connections

If you have installed a CD-ROM drive or a DVD drive, you can connect the sound output of the drive to the built-in sound system.

On the mainboard, locate the two 4-pin connectors for CD1 and CD2. There are two kinds of connector because different brands of CD-ROM drive have different kinds of cable connectors on their audio output cable. Connect the cable to the appropriate connector.

CD2 CD1

Expansion Slots

This mainboard has three 32-bit PCI expansion slots. The PCI1 slot is shared with the onboard VGA, the PCI2 slot is shared with the onboard LAN, and the PCI3 slot is shared with the onboard audio system. It means that you can use either one of shared both but you cannot use the both at the same time.

BIOS Setup

Introduction

The BIOS setup utility stores information about your computer such as the date and time, the kind of hardware you have installed, and so on. Your computer uses this information to initialize all the components at boot up time, and make sure that everything runs smoothly.

If the information in the setup utility is incorrect, it may cause your system to malfunction. It can even stop your computer from booting properly. If this happens, you can use the clear CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory area that is used to store the setup information, or you can hold down the End key while you reboot your computer, Holding down the End key also clears the setup information.

You can run the setup utility and manually make changes to the setup utility. You might need to do this to configure some of the hardware that you add to the mainboard, such as the CPU, the memory, disk drive, etc.

If you are running applications which use the DirectSound® 3D or A3D® audio interface, your system can simulate realistic 3D sound through a 4 speaker setup. Follow the steps below to install a 4-speaker setup.

Speaker Installation

Connect the front two speakers to the Line-out jack on the sound ports extension bracket. Connect the rear two speakers to the Linein/Rear jack on the sound ports extension bracket. The original Line-in can be moved to Aux.

Speaker Position

Set up your speakers similar to the following figure to get the best audio result.

Page 48

The Four Speakers System

Mixer Setup

There is a 4-speakers option in the Volume Control of the Mixer when you are setting up the PCI Audio Application. Click on the 4 SPK icon to enable this option. This means that the output to the rear speakers is sent through the Line-in/Rear jack. In order to avoid hardware conflicts, DO NOT enable this option when the Line-in/Rear jack is connected with a line-in device. While the 4 speakers mode is enabled, turn on/off the output of the front speakers and adjust the volume of the speakers so that the front/rear speakers have the same volume.

Demo

Execute the “Helicopter” demo in the C3D HRTF Positional Audio Demos of the PCI Audio Application. When you hear the helicopter flying behind you, it means that the rear speakers are working properly.
