Chapter 2 Hardware Configuration

2-3 HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setti ng jumpers. A jumper consists of
two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and a
small plastic “cap” (with a metal contact inside) to connect the pins. So
you can set up your hardware configurati on by “open” or “c lose” the
pins.

The jumper can be combined into sets, which is called jumper blocks.
When the jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to
set up the hardware configuration. The figure belo w shows how this
looks.

JUMPERS AND CAPS

If a jumper has three pins, for example labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3.
You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting and shorting. You
can either connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same
jumper diagrams are applie d all through this manual . The figure below
shows what the manual diagram looks like and what they represent.

Chapter 5 Award BIOS Setup

5-1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter will show you the function of a BIOS in managing the
features of your system. The PC-580 Pentium CPU Board is equipped
with the BIOS for system chipset from Award Software Inc. This page
briefly explains the function of a BIOS in managing the special features
of your system. The following pages describe how to use the BIOS for
system chipset Setup menu.

Your application programs (such as word processing, spreadsheets, and
games) rely on an operating system such as DOS or OS/2 to manage
such things as keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and memory.

The operating system relies on a BIOS (Basic Input and Output system),
a program stored on a ROM (Read-only Memory) chip, to initialize and
configure your computer's hardware. As the interface between the
hardware and the operating system, the BIOS enables you to make
basic changes to your system's hardware without having to write a new
operating system.

The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships between
the system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and application program:

DRAM Write WS:

This setup item allows you to set the wait state, time that the CPU is
held idel, while the system is writing to DRAM.

Page Mode Read WS:

Select the correct cycle timing combination for the system board design
and Page Mode DRAM specifications.

RAS Precharge Period:

DRAM must continually be refreshed or it will lose its data. Normally,
DRAM is refreshed entirely as the result of a single request. This option
allows you to determine the number of CPU clocks allocated for the
Row Address Strobe to accumulate its charge before the DRAM is
refreshed. If insufficient time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and
data lost..

RAS-to-RAS Delay Time:

This sets the time delay between Row Address Strobe and Column
Address Strobe. The unit of measurement is a CPU cycle.

EDO Read WS:

Select the correct cycle timing combination for the system board design
and EDO DRAM specification

DRAM Speculative Read:

This item is capable of allowing a DRAM read request to be generated
slightly before the address has been fully decoded. This can reduce all
read latencies.

More simply, the CPU will issue a read request and included with this
request is the place (address) in memory where the desired data is to be
found. This request is received by the DRAM controller. When it is
enabled, the controller will issue the read command slightly before it
has finished determining the address.

SDRAM CAS Latency:

You can select a CAS latency delay in HCLKs of 2 or 3. The system
board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the
DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you
change specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.

Page: 5-12

PC-580 USER‘S MANUAL

SDRAM Access Timing:

You can select the SDRAM Access Timing.

SDRAM Speculative Read:

The chipset can “speculate” on a DRAM read address, thus reducing
read latencies. The CPU issues a read request containing the data
memory address. The DRAM controller receives the request. When this
field is Enabled, the controller issues the read command slightly before
it has finished decoding the data address.

Piplined Function:

When Enabled, this controller signals the CPU for a new memory
address before all data transfers for the current cycles are complete,
resulting in faster performance.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled

DRAM Refresh Period:

Select the period required tp refresh the DRAMs, according to DRAM
specifications.

DRAM Data Integrity Mode:

Select Parity or ECC (error-correcting code), according to the type of
installed DRAM.

Memory Hole At 15-16M:

You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM.
When this area is reserved it can not be cached. The user information of
peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually
discusses their memory requirement.

Primary Frame Buffer:

Select a size for the PCI frame buffer. The size of the buffer should not
impinge on local memory.

VGA Frame Buffer:

When Enabled, a fixed VGA frame buffer from A000h to BFFFh and a
CPU-to-PCI write buffer are implemented..

This field controls the byte-merge feature for frame buffer cycles.
When Enabled, this controller checks the eight CPU Byte Enable
signals to determine if data bytes read from the PCI bus by the CPU can
be merged.

Fast Back-to-Back:

When Enabled, consecutive write cycles targeted to the same slave
become fast back-to-back on the PCI bus.

Passive Release:

When Enabled, CPU to PCI bus accesses are allowed during passive
release. Otherwise, the arbiter only accepts another PCI master access
to local DRAM.

ISA Line Buffer:

This PCI to ISA Bridge has an 8-byte bi-directional line buffer for ISA
or DMA bus master memory reads from or writes to the PCI bus. When
Enabled, an ISA or DMA bus master can prefetch two double words to
the line buffer for a read cycle..

interrupt (A, B, C or D) is associated with the connected hard drives.

Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather
than individual partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two
separate hard drives, you can select the INT# for each. Again, you will
