Step 2

Install Memory

SDRCB uses Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) . Four DIMM sockets are available for 3.3Volts (power level), PC100/PC133, Registered and ECC Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) with 128MB, 256MB, 512MB or 1G B combinations. And the total memory size is between 128MB and 4GB.

IMPORTANT

q As SDRCB has strict memory type and timing requirements. Hence,

before you attend to buy the Registered with ECC DIMM and use in the SDRCB, please consult your local reseller for memory suggestion first.

q Use only Intel

DIMMs and this motherboard operates at 133/100MHz.It will not boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues involved under this speed.

q To utilize the chipset’s Error Checking and Correction (ECC)

features, you have to choose the DIMM module with 9 chips (devices) per side (standard 8 chips (devices)/side plus 1 ECC chip) and check if the setting is proper in the selection ”DRAM Integrity Mode” in the selection “Advanced Chipset Setup” in the BIOS Utility.

q SDRCB only support PC133/100, Registered with ECC SDRAM.

Unbuffered SDRAM and Non-ECC memory can not be used in the SDRCB.

q Since the SDRCB memory bus is synchronized to front side bus

(FSB) speed, it is not allows a user to use PC100 DIMM with 133MHz FSB CPU in the SDRCB . Otherwise system may not able to bootup. When a user use PC133 DIMM with 100FSB CPU, it will result in 100MHz memory speed operation.

any expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.

1.1 Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting changes, such as jumpers.

1.2 Remove the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use. Keep the bracket for possible future use.

1.3 Carefully align the card ’s connectors and press firmly.

1.4 Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.

1.5 Jump to step 6 to finish installation, then set the IRQ and DMA as follows.

2. Assigning IRQs for PCI Expansion Cards

An IRQ number is automatically assigned to PCI expansion cards. In the PCI bus design, the BIOS automatically assigns an IRQ to a PCI slot that contains a card requiring an IRQ. To install a PCI card, you need to set the INT (interrupt) assignment. Since all the PCI slots on this motherboard use an INTA #, set the jumpers on your PCI cards to INTA.

Step 6.

Powering on Your Computer

1. Be sure that all switches are off (in some systems, marked with “O”).

2. After finishing all jumper settings and connections, close the system case cover.

3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case.

4. Connect the power cord into a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.

5. You may then turn on your devices in the following order:

Ø Your monitor Ø External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the

chain)

Ø Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to switch on the power supply as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of the case.

6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light up. For ATX power supplies, the system LED will light up when the ATX power switch is pressed. The monitor LED may light up after the system’s LED if it complies with “green” standards or if it has a power standby feature. The system will then run power-on tests. While the tests are running, additional messages will appear on the screen. If you do not see

anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the system may have failed a power-on test. Recheck your jumper

settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance.

Chapter 2

BIOS Setup

This chapter discusses the AMIBIOS™ Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users modifying the basic system configurations according to their requirements. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

The AMIBIOS™ installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.

The AMIBIOS™ has been customized by adding important, but nonstandard, features such as password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system. The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup.

Starting BIOS Setup

The AMIBIOS™ is immediately activated when you power on the computer every time. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. After finishing configuring the whole system, then BIOS will continue to seek an operating system on one of the disks, launch then turn control over to the operating system. While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

Setup

BIOS

1. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self-Test).

Press DEL to enter SETUP.

2. By pressing <Del>immediately after switching the system on.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup Program, restart the system from state “On” to state “Off” by pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot as well, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AMIBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS setting, which resets your system to its defaults. The other way is clear the present CMOS information.(Refer to the jumper setting on the page1-2 ) The best advice is to only alter settings, which you thoroughly understand. In the end , we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both AMIBIOSTM and RIOWORKSTM to provide the maximum performance and reliability of the system. Even a slight change to the chipset setup may also cause potential and un predictable failure to the system.

All versions of the SDRCB motherboard use Flash EPROM to store the system BIOS. The advantage of Flash EPROM is the EPROM chip does not have to be replaced to update the BIOS. The end user can actually reprogram the BIOS, using a ROM file supplied by RIOWORKS. This chapter contains the procedures for programming Flash ROM:

A)Using the AMIFlash utility contained in the Setup CD provided by RIOWORKS

A. Update your present BIOS version to a newer one

with amiflash program

1. Turn on your computer and create a bootable floppy disk by typing from

the DOS prompt without creating “AUTOEXEC.BAT” and “CONFIG.SYS” files

C:\FORMAT A:/S

2. Download the flash utility (amiflash.exe) and updated BIOS file from the RIOWORKS Website (http://www.rioworks.com/support/download/download.htm).
