Expansion Cards
PCI1, PCI2, PCI3, PCI4, PCI5, PCI6
The PCI bus uses its own internal interrupt system for dealing with requests from the cards
on the bus. These interrupts are often called “PIRQ#A”, “PIRQ#B”, “PIRQ#C” and “PIRQ#D” to
avoid confusion with the normal numbered system IRQs (IRQ0~15). These interrupts, if
needed by cards in the slots, are mapped to the normal system IRQs. The following chart
show how the PCI slots connect these internal interrupts.

Power Supply Connector(J21, J22, J23) & Power Switch (POWER)
The GeniuX 4 green mainboard supports the standard industrial ATX power supply. Check
the ratings of the power supply installed to ensure it meets the following requirements.
Power requirement
Normally the maximum rating power for the power supply installed should be at least 300W.
If there are too many peripheral devices in your system, a stronger power supply is
needed.
Current requirements
Voltages +3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V 5VSB
Currents 14A 24A 10A 0.25A 0.5A 0.72A
The 5VSB line current of the power supply should be taken into consideration. If it is less
than 0.72A, the system may not work properly. If a PCI card using 5VSB line is inserted, the
5VSB line current of the power supply should be more.
The mainboard provides three power connectors (J21, J22, J23), as noted below:
1. Using two power supplies simultaneously is prohibited. This will result in
serious damages to your mainboard.
2. Connetors(J21, J22, J23) can be used only by one power supply with related
plugs. For example, if two Intel Pentium®II XeonTM Processors are used on
the system, it is necessary to use the power supply which has at least two
power plugs (a big one for J21/J22 and a small one for J23).
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 power switch. When powering off the system,
you needn’ t turn off the mechanical switch, just push once the button of the power switch.
If you change “soft-off by PWR-BTTN” from default “Instant-off” to “Delay 4 Secs” in
BIOS Setup (POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP), the power button should be pressed for
more than 4 seconds before the system powers down.

With auto-detection
• BIOS setup will display all possible modes supported by the HDD
including NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.
• If HDD does not support LBA modes, no “LBA” option will be shown.
• If number of physical cylinder is less than or equal to 1024, “LARGE” option may not
be shown.
• Users can select their appropriate mode .

When HDD type is in “user” type, the “MODE” option will be available for users
to select their own HDD mode.
38
Manual for GeniuX 4
Page 39
Chapter 4
2. HDD Modes
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.
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
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 contain 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) into devising 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.
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 of 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.
Boot with BIOS defaults
If you have made all the changes to CMOS values and the system can not boot with the
CMOS values selected in setup, clear CMOS after power-down, then power on again.
System will boot with BIOS default settings.
