Hardware Setup

1. Please refer to your processor installation or other documentation attached to your CPU for detailed installing instruction.

2. Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Incorrect installation may result in overheating and damage of your CPU.

3. Before changing the setting of CPU Vcore from BIOS program, user SHOULD make sure of correct specification both of CPU CLOCK and RATIO. Incorrect setting may cause damage to your CPU.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

2-1 CPU Installation

WARNING !!!

• Make sure that +5V DCV and +3.3 DCV capabilities of your power supply are suitable for the processor.

• Any attempt to operate the AMD Athlon or Duron processor without a suitable cooling Fan will damage processor and other component.

Pull out the lever from the

socket, and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

as shown below. While inserting the CPU into the socket, you can find out there is a definite pin orientation for CPU and socket.

Take notice of the red circles

462

Make sure that the CPU is

placed into the socket tightly.

Then lower down the level to complete the CPU installation.

Page 19

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

2-2 Memory Installation

WARNING!!!

• Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your mainboard and expansion cards.

• Be careful when inserting or removing DIMM. Forcing a DIMM in or out of a socket improperly may damage the memory module or the socket. Some DIMMs which contain EDO or FTP DRAM are incompliant with the mainboard. The M/B supports 2.5V true SDRAM DIMMs only.

Installing DIMM

• Make sure you have the correct memory module type for your mainboard.

• Insert the module(s) as shown below, DIMMs have 184-pins and one notch that will be matched by the onboard DIMM socket. Memory modules are installed by inserting them straight into the slot until they “click” in the right place. They only fit in one direction, so do not force them in by a wrong direction.

These fan connectors support CPU/System/chassis cooling fan with +12V. When connecting wire to FAN connectors, users should pay attention that the red wire is for the positive current and should be connected to pin +12V, and the black wire is Ground and should be connected to pin GND. If your mainboard has Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function. For fans with speed sensors, each rotation of the fan blades will send out 2 electric pulses, by which System Hardware Monitor will work out the fan rotation speed by counting the pulses.

NOTE:

1. Always consult vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.

2. CPU FAN supports the FAN control. You can install PC Alert utility. This will automatically control the CPU FAN speed according to the actual CPU temperature.

3. 2“Yellow” fan connectors are used on this series to mark that they support fan speed sensor function. The other 2 white fan connectors do not support sensor function.

Chaper 4

BIOS Setup

THE BIOS

• BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. It is sometimes called ROM BIOS because it is stored in a Read-Only Memory(ROM) chip on the mainboard. BIOS is the first program to run when you turn on your computer.

• BIOS performs the following functions:

1. Initializing and testing hardware in your computer (a process called “POST”, for Power On Self Test).

2. Loading and running your operating system.

3. Helping your operating system and application programs to manage your PC hardware by means of a set of routines called BIOS Run-Time Service.

This chapter contains the following topics :

4-1 What Is BIOS Setup 4-2 How To Run BIOS Setup 4-3 What Is CMOS 4-4 What Is POST 4-5 BIOS Upgrade 4-6 BIOS Setup

Page 48

75DRV3/75DRV3+

4-1 What Is BIOS Setup

• BIOS setup is an interactive BIOS program that you need to run when:

1. Changing the hardware of your system. (For example: installing a new Hard Disk etc.)

2. Modifying the behavior of your computer. (For example: changing the system time or date, or turning special features on or off etc.)

3. Enhancing your computer’s behavior. (For example: speeding up perfor mance by turning on shadowing or cache)

4-2 How To Run BIOS Setup

• To access BIOS setup menu, press < DEL > key after “POST”, and before the OS is loaded. The BIOS usually display the following message:

Press DEL to enter SETUP

4-3 What Is CMOS

• CMOS is the memory maintained by a battery. The BIOS uses CMOS to store the settings you have selected in SETUP. The CMOS also maintains the internal clock. Every time you turn on your computer, the BIOS Looks into CMOS for the settings you have selected and configures your computer accordingly. If the battery is out of power, the CMOS data will be lost and POST will issue a “CMOS invalid” or “CMOS checksum invalid” message. If this happens, you have to replace the battery and do some proper settings in SETUP.

4-4 What Is POST

• POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. POST will test all things the BIOS does before the operating system is started. Each of POST routines is assigned a POST code, a unique number which is sent to I/O port 080h before the routine is executed.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

4-5 BIOS Upgrade

• System BIOS is incorporated into a Flash memory component of the mainboard. Flash BIOS allows user to upgrade BIOS without the need to replace an EPROM component.

• The upgrade utility can be loaded on a floppy diskette and used to provides the capability to save, verify, and update the system BIOS. The upgrade utility can be run from a hard disk drive or a network drive.

4-5.1 Before Upgrading BIOS

• It is highly recommended that you save a copy of the original mainboard BIOS along with a Flash EPROM Programming utility (AWDFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later.

4-5.2 Upgrade Process

Note: Normally, to upgrade BIOS is unnecessary if the system is working

fine without any problem. Users should not upgrade the BIOS unless you experience incompatible problems or need to create new features. However, please read all information in this section before upgrading.

“AWDFLASH.EXE” is a Flash EPROM Programming utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the mainboard, This program only works in DOS environment only, the utility

can not be executed in win95/98, ME, NT or WINDOWS 2000 environment.

Upgrading the system BIOS

Step 1. Please visit the board maker’s website, download latest BIOS file and award flash utility “AWDFLASH.EXE”. The BIOS file format will be *.bin, of which “*” stands for the specific file name.

Step 2. Create a bootable diskette. Then copy the BIOS file and award flash utility “AWDFLASH.EXE” into the diskette.

Step 3. Insert the diskette into drive A, reboot your system and boot form the diskette.

Page 50

75DRV3/75DRV3+

Step 4. Type awdflash *.bin /sn/py/cc and then press <Enter> to run BIOS upgrade program. (*.bin depends on your mainboard model and version code. Instead of typing “*”, you should type specific file name for your specific mainboard).

Step 5. Please press <F1> or <F10> to exit or reset your system, Warning ! If the message “Write Fail” appears while Award “FLASH MEMORY WRITER” is verifying Flash memory, just repeat the process. Please DO NOT reset or turn off the system. If the award memory flash utility is not able to update the BIOS successfully, your system may not be able to boot up.

Step 6. You will need a message “CMOS checksum error-Default loaded” during booting the system. Press <Del> to run CMOS setup utility, then reload “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS” or “Load Optimized Defaults” and save this change.

Virus Warning When enabled, you receive a warning message if a

program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an antivirus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive.

NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table

can trigger the virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you disable the virus warning.

CPU Internal Cache/

External Cache

CPU L2 Cache ECC

Checking

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for faster access by the CPU.

When you select Enabled, it will speed up memory checking when the external cache contains ECC SRAMs. The choices: Enabled; Disabled.

The following is a list of IRQ’s (Interrupt Requests), which can be exempted much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service. When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power management mode nor awaken it.

5-1.3 Creating A Security (Mirror) Array With An Existing Data Drive

FastTrak100-Lite on board permits only two drives to be used for a single Mirroring array with FastBuild Utility.

Checkpoints before creating a Security Array:

(1) You may use a drive that is containing data or a bootable O/S. Then you will need another new drive of identical or larger storage capacity. (2) Backup any necessary data before proceeding. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in data loss. (3) If you wish to include your current bootable drive holding Window NT 4.x or Windows 2000 O/S as part of a bootable Mirroring (RAID 1) array on your FastTrak100-Lite controller , you SHOULD first install the Windows NT4 or 2000 driver software to this drive while it is still attached to your system hard drive controller (e.g. IDE1/IDE2). For all other Operating Systems except Win NT4.0 and 2000, you can proceed with your hard driver(s) connected to IDE3/DIE4.

1. Boot your system with FastTrak100-Lite Controller enabled by JP11

and your hard drive(s) connected to IDE3/IDE4. Suppose this is

the first time to create a Disk Array. The Promise BIOS on board with FastBuild Utility built in will scan the IDE devices and display the result as below:

5-2 Using FastBuildTM Configuration Utility

The FastBuild

Configuration Utility offers several menu choices to create and configure the drive array on the Promise FastTrak100-Lite. In this Section, it is assumed you have already created an array in the previous Section and now wish to make a change to the array or view other status .

5-2.1 Viewing FastTrak100-Lite BIOS Screen

When you boot your system with the FastTrak100-Lite Controller enabled and drives connected to RAID IDE3 / IDE4, the Promise BIOS on board will detect the drives attached and show the following screen.

FastTrak100-Lite (tm) BIOS Version1.xx (Build xx)

Scanning IDE drives .......

If an array exists already, the BIOS will display the following screen showing the Promise BIOS version and status of the array.

FastTrak100-Lite (tm) BIOS Version1.xx (Build xxxx)

ID MODE SIZE TRACK-MAPPING STATUS 1* 2+0 Stripe 16126M 611/128/32 Functional

Press <Ctrl-F> to enter FastBuild (tm) Utility .......

The array status consists of three possible conditions: Functional, Critical, Off-line.

Functional - The array is operational. Critical - A mirroring array contains a drive that has failed or disconnected.

The remaining drive member in the array is functional. However, the array has temporarily lost its ability to provide fault tolerance. The user should

identify the failed drive through the FastBuild

Setup utility, and then replace the problem drive. Off-line - A striped array having only 1 drive has failed or been disconnected. When the array condition is “Off-line”, the user must replace the failed drive (s), then restore data from a backup source.
