Chaper 2 Hardware Setup

ATTENTION !!!

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.

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.

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 DDR 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.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

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 44

75ERV

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.

Page 45

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 46

75ERV

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 De faults” 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.

box with a message similar to:

“ Load Optimized Defaults (Y / N) ? N ”

Pressing “Y” loads the BIOS default values that are factor settings for optimal performance of system operations.

4-6.11 Set Supervisor / User Password

• These two options allow you to set your system passwords. Normally, the

supervisor has a higher priority to change the CMOS setup option than the users. The way to set up the passwords for both Supervisor and Users are as follows:

1. Choose “Change Password” in the Main Menu and press <Enter>. Then following message appears:

“Enter Password : “

2. The first time you run this option, enter your password up to 8 characters and press <Enter>. (The screen does not display the entered characters.)

3. After you enter the password, the following message appears prompting you to confirm the password:

“Confirm Password : “

4. Enter the same password “exactly” the same as you have just typed to confirm the password and press <Enter>.

5. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the password.

6. If you need to delete the password entered before, choose the Supervisor Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password that you have entered before.

7. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the option you have just

configured; otherwise the old password will still be there the next time you turn your system on.

8. Press <Enter> to exit to the Main Menu.

NOTE: If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access the

system is to clear the CMOS RAM. All setup informations will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup program again.

4-6.12 Save & Exit Setup

• SAVE & EXIT SETUP allows you to save all modifications you have

specified into the CMOS memory. Highlight this option on the Main Menu and the following message appears:

“SAVE to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N) ? Y “

“Y” is for “Yes”, and “N” is for “No”. Press <Enter> key to save the configuration changes.

4-6.13 Exit Without Saving

• EXIT WITHOUT SAVING option allows you to exit the Setup Utility without

saving the modifications that you have specified. Highlight this option on the Main Menu and the following message appears:

Appendix-3 Technical Terms

AC’97

AC’97 is a device designed to include a digital processor for modem and an audio CODEC for analog I/O. These two parts are linked together by AC’97 link bus. Putting the digital processor into the main system chipset will reduce the cost of sound/modem onboard solution.

ACPI (Advanced Configuration & Power Interface)

ACPI is developed together by Intel, Microsoft and Toshiba. This interface provides a channel of management of the PC system and its hardware such as CPU and BIOS, pushing the PC power management to a more advanced and user-friendly level.

AGP (Accelerated Graphic Port)

AGP is a bus interface targeted for high-performance 3D graphics. AGP takes advantage of both rising and falling edge of the 66MHz clock. For 2X AGP, the data transfer rate is 66MHz x 4byte x 2 = 528MB/s. AGP 4X mode is 66MHz x 4byte x 4 = 1056MB/s.

AMR (Audio/Modem Riser)

AMR is an interface to connect the CODEC circuit of AC’97 sound/modem solution to the mainboard through an AMR card and an AMR connector.

APM (Advanced Power Management)

APM is developed by Intel and Microsoft , intending for PC power management through the system BIOS. Through APM, the PC power consumption can be reduced to 5W or lower.

ATA (AT Attachment), ATA/66, ATA/100

ATA is the specification of disk drive interface, that integrates the controller on the disk drive itself with the IDE technology. ATA/66 uses both rising edge and falling edge to provide a data transfer rate 16.6MB/s x4 = 66MB/s. To use ATA/66, you need special ATA/66 IDE cable. ATA/100 also uses both rising edge and falling edge as ATA/66, but clock cycle time is reduced to 40ns. The data transfer rate is (1/40ns) x 2 bytes x 2 = 100MB/s. To use ATA/100, you need special 80-wire IDE cable, the same as ATA/66.

Page 88

APPENDIX

ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface)

This is the exension of the EIDE (extended IDE) that enables the interface to support CD-ROM players and tape drives.

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)

BIOS is a set of assembly routine/program that resides in EPROM or Flash ROM. BIOS controls Input/output devices and other hardware devices of the mainboard. Generally, operation system and drivers will access BIOS before accessing hardware devices so as to enhance the portability of the hardware devices.

Bus Master IDE (DMA mode)

An IDE interface is an interface for mass storage devices, in which the controller is integrated into the disk or CD-ROM itself. To reduce the workload of the CPU, the bus master IDE device transfers data from/to memory without interrupting CPU, and releases CPU to operate concurrently while data is transferring between memory and IDE device. You need the bus master IDE driver and the bus master IDE HDD to support bus master IDE mode.

CAS (Column Address Strobe)

CAS is a technology of DRAM writes and reads. The number of clock cycles of the CAS signals is depending on the DRAM timing.

CNR (Communication and Networking Riser)

CNR interface provides a cost reducing method of implementing LAN, home networking, DSL, USB, wireless, audio and modem subsystems through a CNR card and a CNR connector.

CODEC (Coder and Decoder)

Normally, CODEC means a circuit that can do digital to analog conversion and vice versa. It is part of AC’97 sound/modem solution.

DDR (Double Data Rated) SDRAM

DDR SDRAM essentially doubles the memory speed of SDRAMs without increasing the clock frequency.

Page 89

APPENDIX

DIMM (Dual In Line Memory Module)

DIMM socket is built with a 168-pin assignment and supports 64-bit data. DIMM can be single or double sided. The golden finger signals on each side of the module are different, and that is why it is called Dual In Line. Almost all DIMMs are made with SDRAM now, which operate at 3.3V. Some old DIMMs are made by FPM/EDO and only operate at 5V.

DMA (Direct Memory Access)

Channel for communications between memory and surrounding devices.

ECC (Error Checking and Correction)

The ECC algorithm has the ability to detect double-bit error and automatically correct single-bit error while parity mode can only detect single-bit error.

ECP (Enhanced Communication Port)

ECP is a technology designed to improved I/O for parallel ports.

EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port)

EPP is a standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 500 kps for parallel printers

EDO (Extended Data Output) Memory

Unlike traditional FPM (Fast Page Mode) memory that tri-states the memory output data to start the pre-charge activity, EDO DRAM holds the memory data valid until the next memory access cycle, which is similar to pipeline effect in reducing one clock state.

EEPROM (Electronic Erasable Programmable ROM)

Both EEPROM and Flash ROM can be re-programmed by electronic signals, but the interface technology is different. Size of EEPROM is much smaller than flash ROM. BIOS is now generally stored in EEPROM or Flash ROM.

EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM)

Traditional mainboard stores BIOS codes in EPROM which can only be erased by ultra-violet (UV) light. If BIOS has to be updated, you need to remove EPROM from mainboard, clear data by UV light, re-program, and then insert it back to socket.

Page 90

APPENDIX

FC-PGA (Flip Chip-Pin Grid Array)

FC means Flip Chip, while FC-PGA is a new package of Intel for Pentium III CPU. It is compatible with SKT370 socket, but requires mainboard to add some signals on socket 370.

Flash ROM

Flash ROM can be re-programmed by electronic signals. It is easier for BIOS to upgrade by a flash utility, but it is also easier to be infected by virus. Because of increase of new functions, BIOS size is increased from 64KB to 256KB (2M bit) or more.

FSB (Front Side Bus)

FSB is the data channel connecting the Processor to chipset, RAM, mainboard buses, AGP socket etc. Its speed is in terms of MHz and is talked to as FSB clock: FSB Clock means CPU external bus clock. CPU internal clock = CPU FSB Clock x CPU Clock Ratio

IEEE 1394

IEEE 1394 is a low-cost digital transfer interface with transfer rate at 100, 200 or 400 Mbps. It provides solutions of connecting digital television devices and Serial Bus Management. There are two type of IEEE 1394 data transfer: asynchronous and isochronous. Isochronous data channels provide guaranteed data transport at a pre-determined rate. This is especially important for time-critical multimedia data where just-in-time delivery eliminates the need for costly buffering.

Parity Bit

The parity bit mode of error detection uses 1 parity bit for each byte. Normally it is even parity mode, that is, each time the memory data is updated, parity bit will be adjusted to have even count “1” for each byte. Next time when memory is read with odd number of “1”, the parity error is occurred and this is called single bit error detection.

PC-100 DIMM

SDRAM DIMM that supports 100MHz CPU FSB bus clock.

PC-133 DIMM

SDRAM DIMM that supports 133MHz CPU FSB bus clock.

Page 91

APPENDIX

PC-1600 or PC-2100 DDR SDRAM

PC-1600 DDR SDRAM with a 64-bit data bus doubles the data transfer rate of PC100 SDRAM and hence provides data transfer bandwidth up to 100x64/ 8x2=1600MB/s. PC2100 DDR SDRAM doubles the data transfer rate of PC-133 and hence provides data transfer bandwidth up to 133x64/ 8x2=2100MB/s.

PCI (Peripheral Component Interface) Bus

A high speed data channel for the internal connection of peripheral devices and the computer system through a PCI expansion card.

PnP (Plug and Play)

The PnP specification suggests a standard register interface for both BIOS and operating system (such as Windows 95). These registers are used by BIOS and operating system to configure system resource and prevent any conflicts. PnP BIOS or operating system will automatically allocate the IRQ/ DMA/Memory. Currently, almost all the PCI cards and most ISA cards are already PnP compliant.

POST (Power-On Self Test)

The BIOS self-test procedure after power-on. It is generally the first or the second program shown on your monitor screen during system boot.

RAS (Row Address Strobe)

RAS is a technology that DRAM writes and reads to the Row addresses, while a CAS (Column Address Strobe) signal is used to validate the column address. The signals are generally sent CAS before RAS. (in Network field, RAS stands for Remote Access Services).

RDRAM (Rambus DRAM)

Rambus DRAM is a memory technology that uses large burst mode data transfer of up to 1.6GHz. It is import to know that RDRAM technology helps set up a system level improvement, not just a component upgrade.

RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module)

RIMM is built with a 184-pin architecture module that supports RDRAM memory technology. A RIMM memory module may contain up to maximum of 16 RDRAM devices.

Page 92

APPENDIX

SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)

SDRAM is one of the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technologies that allow DRAM to use the same clock as the CPU host clock (EDO and FPM are asynchronous and do not have clock signal). SDRAM comes in 64-bit 168-pin DIMM and operates at 3.3V.

SIMM (Single In Line Memory Module)

SIMM socket is only 72-pin, and is only single side. The golden finger signals on each side of PCB are identical. That is why it is called Single In Line. SIMM is made of FPM or EDO DRAM and supports 32-bit data. SIMM is phased out in current mainboard design.

SPD (Serial Presence Detect)

SPD is a small ROM or EEPROM device resided on the DIMM or RIMM. Memory module information such as DRAM timing and chip parameters can be stored into SPD so that BIOS can access it and use it to decide best timing for this DIMM or RIMM.

UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/transmitter)

UART is built in a chip that controls the data sent to and received from a serial port. A 16550 UART is now standard in most PCs, and supports modem speed up to 57,600 bps and beyond and direct connect speed of 115,200 bps. Many UARTs have built-in errors in the internal code and just do not work correctly with many external modems. UART is also found as the serial interface on internal modem.

Ultra DMA

Ultra DMA (or, more accurately, Ultra DMA/33) is a protocol for transferring data at 33.3MB/s between a hard disk drive through the computer’s data path (or bus) to the computer’s random access memory (RAM). The transfer data is twice as fast as the previous Direct Access Memory (DMA) interface. The latest Ultra DMA has advanced to Ultra DMA/66 and Ultra DMA/100.

16.6MB/s x2 = 33MB/s

16.6MB/s x4 = 66MB/s

16.6MB/s x6 = 100MB/s

Page 93

APPENDIX

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

USB is a 4-pin serial peripheral bus that is capable of cascading low/medium speed peripherals (less than 10Mbit/s) such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem.

VCM (Virtual Channel Memory)

NEC’s Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) is a new DRAM core architecture that dramatically improves the memory system’s ability to service multimedia requirements. VCM increases memory bus efficiency and performance of any DRAM technology by providing a set of fast static registers between the memory core and I/O pins. Using VCM technology results in reduced data access latency and reduced power consumption.

VRM (Voltage regulator Module)

This is a small module installed on a mainboard to regulate the voltage fed to the processor on board. Voltage regulator can be built on board in various way. VRM is a socketed type of regulator module which is easier to change when needed.

Zero Wait State

When memory is operating at its fastest speed in its course of fetching and yielding data, it allows no “no-op” cycle and is called in a zero wait state. On the other hand, a memory is in a wait state , after it gets a command to fetch data, it waits for one , two or more cycles to assure that the expected data is in the buffer.

ZIP file

Zip file is a compressed file with a reduced file size.

Zoom

To zoom is to make a window or screen larger or smaller in a Graphical User Interface of a computer system. Usually, to “zoom in” means to enlarge, and to “zoom out” means to reduce size.
