Chapter 2 Connector Configuration

This section lists all connector pin assignment and port descriptions on the mainboard. The particular state of the connectors and ports are illustrated in the following figures. Before inserting these connectors, please pay attention to the directions.

Power Connector(J20, J21) & Power Switch (Power)

ATX/SFX power supply can both be used on this system. They should be connected to J20, while the power switch(Power) should be connected to a momentary switch. When powering up your system, first turn on the mechanical switch of the power supply if one is provided, then push once the button of the momentary switch. If you want to power off your system, you needn’t turn off the mechanical switch, just push once* the button of the momentary switch. J21 is an optional 6-pin power connector mainly used for the power supply which has an identical connector. The pin assignment and the location of the connectors are as shown below:

Power Connector (J20)

Optional Power Connector (J21)

Note: * If you change “soft-off by PWR-BTTN” from default “Instant-off” to “Delay 4 Secs”, the power button should be pressed for more than 4 seconds before the system powers down. For details, please refer to Page 3-10. ** This optional signal (-5V) is not available in the SFX power supply.

Memory Configuration

The P6I440EX/MATX EXCELLENT II mainboard provides two 168 pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMM sockets to support a flexible memory size ranging from 8MB to 256MB for SDRAM or from 8MB to 512MB for EDO memory. The following set of rules allow optimum configurations.

Rules for populating a 440EX memory array:

The DRAM Timing register, which provides the DRAM speed grade control for the

entire memory array, must be programmed to use the timings of the slowest DRAMs installed.

Possible EDO DIMM memory sizes are 8MB, 16MB , 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB in

each DIMM socket.

Possible SDRAM memory sizes are 8MB, 16MB , 32MB, 64MB, 128MB in each DIMM

socket.

The categories identify the HDD types of the 2 IDE channels that have been installed in the computer. There are 45 predefined types and 4 user definable types which are used for Enhanced IDE BIOS. Type 1 to Type 45 are predefined. Type “User” is user-definable. If your hard disk drive type does not match with the drive table listed, you can use Type “User” to manually define your own drive type.

When the HDD type is set as “user” type, the “MODE” option will be opened for users to select their own HDD mode.

2. HDD Modes

The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE, also Auto detect.

NORMAL

Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any transformation during accessing. The maximum number of cylinders, heads and sectors for NORMAL mode are 1024,16 and 63.

If the user sets his HDD to NORMAL mode, the maximum accessible HDD size will be 528 megabytes even though its physical size may be greater than that.

LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode

A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck. The number of cylinders, heads and 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 the sector, head and cylinder number into its own physical address inside the HDD. The maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode is 8.4 Gigabytes.

LARGE mode

Some IDE HDDs contains more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support (in some cases, users do not want LBA). The Award BIOS provides another alternative to support these kinds of HDD.

BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) so 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.

Auto detect

If using Auto detect, the BIOS will automatically detect the IDE hard disk mode and set it as one of the three modes.

3. Remark

To support LBA or LARGE mode regarding HDDs, there must be some softwares involved which are located in Award HDD Service Routine (INT13h). It may fail to access a HDD with LBA (LARGE) mode selected if you are running under an Operating System which replaces the whole INT 13h.
