2-2.1 To Install DDR SDRAM Module
• To enable Dual-channel memory function, users should insert totally
identical (size and frequency) DDR module pair into the bank-pair.
• 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.

(2.5V Voltage Key) DDR Notch
DIMM1
DIMM2
Slot Rib
Module Latch
DIMM1+DIMM2 = Dual Channel Memory
(Dual-channel is not valid on single DIMM)
2.2.2 Dual Channel Memory Setup
• This Mainboard / Series supports Dual-channel DDR Modules setup.
• 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 2GB unbuffered Dual-channel DDR 400/
333/266 SDRAM, with 2 DDR DIMM slots on board. Do not insert
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.
2-2.3 To Remove a DIMM
Power off the system first, and then press down the holding latches on
both sides of slot to release the module from the DIMM slot.

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 JCLK1: CPU Clock Select
1. Before setting the CPU clock by JCLK1,
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 JCLK1 1-2 closed is for 100MHz or
133MHz CPU.
3. Setting JCLK1 2-3 closed is for 166MHz or
200MHz CPU, 100MHz or 133MHz CPU will
fail to boot herewith.
4. If 100MHz or 133MHz CPU fails to boot
system, you should excute the nVIDIA-BootFailure-Restart Procedure to reboot system.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
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
J6, 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 JBAI1
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.

2-8.4 Jp1: Anti-burn Shield (ABSII)
Jp1 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
JUMPER SETTING. Setting Jp1 1-2
closed (default setting) will get system
shutdown when the above-mentioned
CPUs get to 75

temperature.) Only when CPU returns to a
cooler state can you restart your system.
For other CPUs that are not incorporated with a protective thermal diode,
please set Jp1 2-3 closed to disable the function because it is vain
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.
2-8.5 JKB1: KB/Mouse Wake Up
JKB1 is designed on board as a jumper to enable/disable the PS/2 keyboard/mouse Wake Up from system off or suspend mode. Yet users
should still enter BIOS setup to choose the Wake Up/ Power On mode.
USB keyboard/mouse Wake Up function is not supported in this board.

Both Sensor and No-sensor Fan Connectors support CPU/AGP/System/Case cooling fan with +12V mode. When connecting the wire to
any Fan Connector, user should make sure 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. A Hardware Monitor chipset is on board, with which user can install a Hardware Monitor
Utility and read the fan speed transmitted from the sensor fan connector.
Otherwise, user can read the fan speed from the “SmartDoc Anti-Burn
shield” in CMOS BIOS.
A running fan will send out 2 electric pulses per rotation of its fan
blade to a Sensor Fan Connector which in turn will count the electric
pulses and send the information to the System Hardware Monitor. The
hardware Monitor Program 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
Attention: The BIOS Setup is subject to constant update without further
notice to users. It is necessary for users to update the onboard BIOS
by the latest BIOS version provided in our web site: www.soltek.com.tw
46
Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
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.

SL-75FRN3-GR / 75FRN3-RL
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, WINDOWS
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.
48
Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
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,please retry the process.
Please DO NOT turn off the system before updating the BIOS
successfully.
Step 6. At rebooting 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).
When the CPU requests data, the system transfers
the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for faster access by the CPU.

360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with
270KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80
tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track
floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field
to disabled to save time.

THE nVIDIA SATA RAID Controller & RAID Driver
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) Controller is built in the
South Bridge nForce2 MCP-Gigabit/RAID. With this RAID Controller,
the SATA RAID BIOS is built into the system to help configure the
Redundant Disk Array.

5-0 About Disk Array
5-0-1 Disk Array Interpretation
A “Disk Array” is formed from a group of 2 or more disk drives with the
RAID (Redundent Array of Independent Disks) technology. The aim of
a Disk Array is to provide better perfornance and/or data fault tolerance.
5-0-2 Disk Array Member
The individual disk drive in an array is called a “member”. Each member
of a specific disk array is coded in their “reserved sector” with
configuration information that identifies the drive as a member. All disk
members in a formed disk array are recognized as a single physical
drive to the system.
5-0-3 Disk Array Supported by nForce2 MCP-Gigabit/RAID
1. RAID 0 (or Striping mode):
RAID 0 is a group of 2 to 4 Disk Drives configured together with
RAID technology to provide better data transfer performance than a
single drive since the workload is balanced between the array
members. Reads and Writes of RAID 0 data are interleaved between
multiple drives. When any disk member fails, it affects the entire array.
The disk array size is equal to the number of drive members times
the smallest member capacity. For example, one 1GB and three 1.
2GB drives will form a 4GB (4x1GB) disk array.
2. RAID 1 (or Mirroring mode):
RAID 1 is a group of 2 Disk Drives configured together with RAID
Technology to provide the fault tolerance function. Writes duplicate
data on to RAID 1 while reads are performed in parallel. If one of the
mirrored drives suffers a mechanical failure (e.g. spindle failure) or
does not respond , the remaining drive will continue to function. This
is called Fault Tolerance.
The drive capacity of RAID 1 is half the total drive capacity of two
equal-size drive.
3. RAID 0+1 (Stripe Mirroring):
RAID 0+1 is formed by a RAID 0 member mirrored to another RAID
member to establish a RAID 0+1 Array. RAID 0+1 requires at least 4
disk drive to set up the RAID 0+1 configuration.

5-1 First Step to Set Up SATA RAID/PATA RAID
2 Serial ATA connectors are built on board, supported by the South
Bridge nForce2 MCP-Gigabit/RAID with SATA RAID interface. We can
connect these two connectors to SATA Hard Disks and then configure
these Hard Disks as SATA RAID Disks.
IDE1 and 2 are also supported by nForce2 MCP-Gigabit/RAID for up to
4x IDE RAID HDDs setup.
