2-2 Memory Installation
How to tackle the memory Modules:
• Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing
memory module. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your mainboard and the memory module.
• Pay attention to the orientation of the DIMM slots. Forcing a DIMM
into a slot improperly will damage the memory module and slot itself.
• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your
mainboard.
Dual Channel Memory Features
• Dual Channel Memory Configuration is formed by couple of identical
DDR SDRAMs.
• Dual Channel memory configuration provides higher performance than
Single Channel configurations.
• Matched DIMMs need to have identical density, DRAM technology,
DRAM bus width, and equal number of memory banks.
• This series supports up to 3GB unbuffered Dual Channel DDR 400/
333/266 SDRAM, with 3 DDR DIMM slots on board. other type of modules into these slots.
• The dual memory controller can double the DDR memory bandwidth
up to 6.4GB/s with couple of DDR400, 5.4GB/s with couple of DDR333 and 4.2GB/s with couple of DDR266.

2-2.2 Dual Channel DDR DIMM configuration
1. To enable Dual Channel function on this series of mainboard, a DDR SDRAM module must be first inserted into DIM3, the Master Dual Chan­nel slot.
2. Next, either DIM1 or DIM2 or both should be inserted with DDR SDRAM module(s) to activate the Dual Channel function. That is, DIM3 is the Master Dual Channel DIMM slot and at least one more slot is needed to couple with the Master Dual Channel DIMM slot DIM3.
• Please notice that users should insert totally identical (size and
frequency) DDR module pair into the memory slots.
• DDR DIMM slot has 184 pins and one notch. Insert a DDR SDRAM
vertically into the 184-pin slot with the notch-to-rib matching.

2-3 AGP Slot Installation
The AGP slot on board supports 1.5V AGP 8X/4X card only. A Rib is specifically added to the 8X/4X slot so as to match the AGP 8X/4X card. To insert a 3.3V AGP 2X card into the AGP 4X slot will damage the system chip and burn the 1.5V circuitry. An AGP 8X card will support a data transfer rate up to 2GB/sec, while an AGP 4X card will provide 1GB/sec transfer rate.

2-4 IDE Connector Installation
1. To install IDE Connector, you may connect the blue connector of IDE cable to the primary (IDE1) or secondary (IDE2) connector on board, and then connect the gray connector to your slave device and the black connector to your master device. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumpers correctly. Please refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.
2. An additional Parallel ATA connector IDE3 is supported by the optional Serial ATA Controller PDC20376. IDE3 is enabled as a RAID IDE connector if and only if the Controller is enabled by Jp4 (See Jumper Setting in this chapter).

2-8.1 How to tackle the Jumpers:
123
A 3-pin Jumper
If a pin-header (of 2 or more pins) is designed in such a way that its pins can be closed or linked together to set up a specific function, is called a jumper in this manual.
this header
A 2-pin Jumper Cap
The conductor inside the cap links two header-pins together.
• A Jumper is usually but not necessarily given a “JpX” legend.
• In the Jumper setting diagram, all jumper pins covered with black marks stand for closed pins with jumper cap.
1 13313
Jp X
Jumper with
Pin 2-3 closed
Jumper with
all pins open
Jumper with
Pin 1-2 closed
• Do not remove any jumper cap when power is on. Always make sure the power is off before changing any jumper settings. Otherwise, mainboard could be damaged.
2-8.2 Jp2: CPU Clock Select
1. Before setting the CPU clock by Jp2, read the Identification Legend on the CPU, find the Max FSB and divide it by two. The result is the default CPU clock.
2. Setting Jp2 1-2 closed is for 100/133MHz CPU.
3. Setting Jp2 2-3 closed is for 166/200MHz CPU, 100/133MHz CPU will fail to boot herewith.
4. If 100/133MHz CPU fails to boot system , you should excute the nVIDIA-Boot-Failure­Restart Procedure to reboot system.

nVIDIA Boot-Failure-Reboot Procedures:
Whenever nVIDIA system fails to boot (including overclock and non­overclock cases), it requires a more guaranteed Reboot Procedure to restart system. (1) To reboot nVIDIA system, users should first power off the system. (2) If a “CPU Clock Select” Jumper is on board, restore this jumper setting to default setting.
(3) Execute the “Clear CMOS” procedures with “Clear CMOS” Jumper. (4) Then press down “Insert” key of the keyboard before pressing down Power Button to start system. Do not release Insert Key until you can see the initial bootup screen appear. (5) In some “overclocking cases by BIOS Setup”, if system still cannot boot up with the above 4 steps, please remove the on-board battery from the battery-socket and unplug the power cord as well. Keep the battery and power cord away from system in 10 to 20 seconds so as to make sure all power residue has faded away. (6) After restoring the power cord and battery to system, make sure the “CPU Clock Select” Jumper is at “Default Setting” and then press the Power Button to restart system again. Please note that Step (5) will take the place of Step (3) and (4). (7) After starting system, users should also enter “Advanced Chipset Features” of BIOS Setup and set the “FSB Frequency” to “CPU De­fault” value for a guaranteed bootup. However, user can also select a higher CPU clock to try overclocking again.
2-8.3 JBAT1: nVIDIA Clear CMOS
When you have problem with rebooting your system, you can clear CMOS data and restore it to default value. To clear CMOS with Jumper JBAT1, please follow the steps below:
1. Power off system.
2. Set JBAT1 to Pin 2-3 closed.
3. After 3 or 5 seconds(allowing residue
power to fade away), return the JBAT1 setting to Pin1-2 closed.
4. To reboot the system, press down “
Insert” key before pressing down Power Button. Do not release Insert key until you see the initial bootup screen.

CPU shutdown function
Jp5 is designed to enable the overheat safeguard for some CPUs which are incorporated with a protective thermal diode. The latest AMD Athlon XP and Duron Morgan CPUs are incorporated with such thermal diode and can be protected by this function. Setting Jp5 1-2 closed (default setting) will get system shutdown when the above-mentioned CPUs get
Jp5:
o
C (the default protection temperature.) Only when the CPU re-
to 85 turns to a cooler state can you restart your system. For other CPUs that are not incorporated with a protective thermal diode, please set Jp5 2-3 closed to disable the function because it is a vain design now.
Reminder: If a sudden shutdown happens to your system which has been running well for a while with an AMD Athlon XP/ Duron Morgan CPU, this might be caused by the “Overheated CPU Shutdown” design. Please use a better CPU cooling fan and restart your system.

No Sensor
Both Sensor and No-sensor Fan Connectors support CPU/AGP/Sys­tem/Case cooling fan with +12V mode. A Hardware Monitor chipset is on board, with which users can install a Hardware Monitor Utility and read the fan speed transmitted from the sensor fan. Otherwise, users can read the fan speed from the “Hardware Monitor Status” via BIOS.
A running Fan will send out 2 electric pulses per rotation of its fan blade. A Sensor Fan Connector will count the electric pulses and send the information to the System Hardware Monitor which in turn will work out the fan rotation speed and display it on screen.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
THE BIOS
BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. It was once called ROM BIOS when it was stored in a Read-Only Memory(ROM) chip Now manufacturers would like to store BIOS in EEPROM which means Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory. BIOS used in this series of mainboard is stored in EEPROM, and 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 manage your PC hardware by means of a set of routines called BIOS Run­Time Service.
This Chapter includes the following topics : 4-1 About BIOS Setup 4-2 To run BIOS Setup 4-3 About CMOS 4-4 The POST (Power On Self Test) 4-5 To upgrade BIOS 4-6 BIOS Setup

Page 38
Series 75FRN2: 75FRN2, 75FRN2-L, 75FRN2-R, 75FRN2-RL
4-1 About 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 performance by turning on shadowing or cache)
4-2 To Run BIOS Setup
First access BIOS setup menu by pressing < DEL > key after “POST” is complete ( before OS is loaded ). BIOS will then display the following message:
Press “DEL” to enter “SETUP”
4-3 About CMOS
CMOS is the memory maintained by a battery. CMOS is used to store the BIOS settings you have selected in BIOS Setup. 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 runs 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 BIOS Setup.
4-4 The POST ( Power On Self Test )
POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. This program 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 To Upgrade BIOS
• System BIOS is incorporated into a Flash memory component. 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 to execute saving,
verifying, and updating the system BIOS. The Upgrade Utility can also 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 so that you can reinstall the BIOS when needed.
4-5.2 Upgrade Process
• Normally, to upgrade BIOS is unnecessary if the system is working fine
Users should only upgrade the BIOS when you experience incompatible problems or need to create new features.
• “AWDFLASH.EXE” is a Flash EPROM Programming utility that up dates
the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the mainboard. This program only works in DOS environment, the
utility can not be executed in Windows 95/98, ME, NT, 2000 or Win­dows XP environment.
• Please follow the steps below for upgrading the system BIOS:
Step 1. Please visit the board maker’s website, download the zip file which contains the latest BIOS file and Award Flash Utility “AWDFLASH. EXE”. After unzipping, the BIOS file format will be *.bin, of which “ * ” stands for the specific BIOS 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 from the diskette.
53
Page 40
Series 75FRN2: 75FRN2, 75FRN2-L, 75FRN2-R, 75FRN2-RL
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.
The parameters of AWDFLASH.EXE
/sn: No original BIOS backup /py: Program flash memory /cc: Clear CMOS data (and update data automatically) after pro­ gramming
NOTE: Users can type AWDFLASH /? to get further details about
the parameters. Incorrect usage of the parameter will dam­age the BIOS information, so we strongly recommend users to leave parameters alone unless you fully understand their function.

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type up contain internal cache memory (L1), and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory (L2).

5-1 Creating Your Disk Array
To create your disk array, you have to open the FastBuild Utility, which
should have already been built in the Promise Controller. At booting your system, you will see the following intiating screen:
FastTrak 376(tm) BIOS Version xxxxxx (c) 2--2-2005 Promise Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
No Array is defined....................................
Press <Ctrl-F> to enter Fastbuild(tm) Utility or
Press <ESC> to continue booting.....
Press <Ctrl-F> to enter Fastbuild Utility NOW!
You can create two types of array with the help of FastBuild Utility.
1. An array for Performance in Striping type with 1 or 2 drives (or called RAID 0).
2. An array for Data Security in Mirroring type with 2 drives treated as one disk array (or called RAID 1).
WARNING :
WARNING :
backup any necessary data. Failure to follow this could result in data loss.
To create a Security array using an existing hard drive,
5-1.1 Creating An Array For Performance/Security
FastTrak 376 allows users to create striped arrays with 1 or 2 drives.
1. Boot your system with Controller PDC20376 enabled by Jp4 and your hard drive(s) connected to IDE3/ATA1/ATA2. 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. If only one hard disk is inserted, “Stripe” will appear under “Mode “ section. If two or three hard disks are inserted, “Mirror” will appear for “Security” in “Mode” section.
6. Press <Ctrl-Y> keys to save and create the array.
7. Reboot your system.
8. Once the array has been created on new drive(s), you would need to FDisk and format the array as if it were a new single hard drive.
9. Also proceed to “Installing Drivers” section of this Chapter for system and FastTrak 376 Driver setup.

5-1.2 Creating Security Array With Existing Data Drive
FastTrak 376 on board permits only two drives to be used for a single Mirroring (Security) 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 FastTrak 376 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/ATA1/ATA2.
1. Boot your system with FastTrak 376 Controller enabled by Jp4 and your hard drive(s) connected to IDE3/ATA1/ATA2. 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:
