2-1 Pentium 4 CPU and Installation

2-1.1 To Identify a Pentium 4 CPU

Intel

PENTIUM 4

2.80 GHz / 512 / 800

(Hyper-Threading & Prescott CPU included)

3) System Bus

2) CPU L2 Cache

1) CPU Working Frequency

On the heatsink side of a Pentium 4 CPU, there printed a line of figures to
identify its specifications. The line consists of 4 parts:

1. CPU Working Frequency: this part depicts the working frequency of

the CPU. The Intel P4 processor with three differeent System Bus

mode provides a variety of speeds ranging from 2A Ghz to 3.2Ghz.

400MHz System Bus: 2.60, 2.50, 2.40, 2.20, 2A GHz
533MHz System Bus: 3.06, 2.80, 2.66, 2.53, 2.40, 2.26 GHz
800MHz System Bus: 3.20, 3, 2.80C, 2.60C, 2.40C GHz

2. CPU L2 Cache: this part depicts the L2 Cache size. For example,

512 stands for 512 KB L2 Cache; 256 stands for 256 KB L2 Cache

3. System Bus: this part depicts the System Bus (Front Side Bus) is

provided by CPU clock x 4. For example,
800MHz = 200MHz(CPU clock) x 4; 533MHz = 133MHz x 4
400MHz = 100MHz x 4

Note: System Bus vs CPU Clock
P4 CPU is a quad-pumped CPU. The system bus is provided by the CPU
clock x 4. Therefore, users can figure out the P4 CPU clock by the System
Bus divided by 4.

Pentium 4 with Hyper Threading Technology :
(1) P4 processors at 2.40C, 2.60C, 2.80C, 3, 3.20GHz with an advanced
800MHz system bus
(2) P4 processor at 3.06Ghz with 533MHz system bus

2-1.2 Pentium 4 CPU Installation with Socket 478

This series is built with CPU Socket
478B (478-pin) supporting the Intel
Pentium 4 CPU:

• Follow the steps described in this
section to install the 478-pin Pentium
4 CPU into the on board Socket 478.

• After installation of Pentium 4 CPU,
you must also install the specific Pen­tium 4 CPU fan designed in tandem
with this CPU. This CPU Fan instal­lation is described in next section.

• This series supports Hyper-thread­ing dual-in-one CPU, the function of
which can be enabled by Windows
XP. (See illustration on the right.)

( If Hyper-threading CPU is
installed successfully with O/S
Win XP, the O/S will enable the
dual-in-one CPU function.)

1. First pull sideways the lever of
Socket 478, and then turn it up

0

so as to raise the upper layer

90
of the socket from the lower
platform.

Pin 1

2. Configure Pin 1 of CPU to Pin 1
of the Socket, just as the way
shown in the diagram on the right.
Adjust the position of CPU until
you can feel all CPU pins get into
the socket with ease.

3. Make sure that all CPU pins have
completely entered the socket
and then lower down the lever to
lock up CPU to socket.

2-3 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 the slot itself.

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

2-3.1 To Install DIMM Module

• This series only supports up to 2GB unbuffered DDR 266/200MHz
SDRAM, with 2 DDR DIMM slots on board. Do not insert other type of
memory module into these 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. Press the
module down in a gradual way until it surely reaches the bottom and
clicks straight up the two latches on the left and right of the slot. If any
one of the latches has not turned up completely, you should unplug the
module and press it down the slot a bit more firmly.

An indicator LED2 is designed on board. Whenever system is started or
enters S1(Power on Suspend)mode, the LED2 will light up. This indicator
is to warn users that, whenever LED2 is lighting up, no memory module
should be removed from or added into it, or the DATA stored to RAM will
get lost. For further setting about S1 mode, please set it in the “Power
Management Features” of BIOS.

2-4 Install AGP4X with LED & Jumper Safeguard

1. The AGP slot on board supports only AGP 4X card configuration. Users
should install an 1.5V AGP 4X card.

2. A safe installation of AGP 4X card is to set Jp3 to 1-2 closed, resulting in
allowing only 1.5V AGP 4X card to boot system. In this case, if users
cannot boot with an AGP card inserted in the slot, it indicates that the
AGP card is not a correct one. The card should be replaced with a 1.5V
AGP 4X card.

3. LED1 is a Warning LED. Whenever JP3 is set 1-2 closed for an AGP 4X
card installation, and yet the AGP slot is left empty, or the card is not a
correct one, LED1 will light up until a proper installation is done.

2-8.1 How to tackle the Jumpers:

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

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

JpX

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, the mainboard could be damaged.

2-8.2 JFSB1: CPU Clock Select

JFSB1 is designed to select 100/133MHz CPU
clock for the system.

1. Before selecting the CPU clock, read the Iden­tification Legend on the CPU, find the default
(Max) FSB which can be provided by the CPU.
If this FSB is divided by 4, the result is the
default CPU clock.

JFSB1

CPU Clock Select

1

CPU Autodetect

2-3 closed
for 133MHz CPU

Clock (533MHz FSB)

(default)

2. Setting JFSB1 to 1-2 closed will allow CPU on board to automatically
detect its own frequency and apply it to the System Bus.

3. Setting JFSB1 to 2-3 closed will manually configure a 100MHz CPU to
133MHz.

4. If JFSB1 2-3 closed cannot boot the system, it means overclocking fails.
Please restore JFSB1 to 1-2 closed (default) and then clear CMOS with
the Clear-CMOS Jumper before trying to reboot system. (See Further
Notes on Overclocking.)

27

85DR2-DC / 85DR2-DCL

Further Notes on CPU Overclocking:

1. If you have successfully booted system, with or without CPU overclock,
you still can try another CPU overclock in BIOS Setup. Please enter
BIOS Setup, choose “Frequency/Voltage Control” menu, then configure
the “CPU Clock” item to raise your CPU clock.

2. CPU overclocking should take all components on board into account. If
you fail in BIOS overclocking, you will not be able to restart system. In
such case, Power off system and clear CMOS by JBAT1 and then re­start your system. And remember to reconfigure whatever should be
reconfigured.

3. If your system is already fixed in a cabinet or case, you may not like to
take the trouble to clear CMOS. Then power on your system with the
power button on the PC case and simultaneously press down the “In­sert” key on the keyboard until you see the initial bootup screen appear.
And remember you should also enter CMOS BIOS Setup instantly and
choose “Load Optimized Defaults” to restore default BIOS .

2-8.3 JFSB2: DDR DIMM Turbo Mode(Optional)

JFSB2 is a design for raising the DDR DIMM performance
without doing CPU overclock.

1. Read the Identification Legend on the CPU, find the de­fault (Max) FSB which is provided on the P4 CPU. If this
FSB is divided by 4, the result is the default CPU clock.

With a 133MHz CPU, JFSB2 can raise the DDR DIMM

frequency to 1.33 x 133MHz.

2. Setting JFSB2 to 1-2 closed will set the DDR DIMM to
Auto Select Mode. With this mode, the onboard DDR

DDR DIMM
Turbo Mode

(default)
1-2 closed
Auto Select

1

2-3 closed
Turbo Mode
with
133Mhz CPU

DIMM Frequency will take the 133MHz default value.

3. Setting JFSB2 to 2-3 closed will set the DDR DIMM Frequency to Turbo
Mode. With this Turbo Mode, the onboard DDR DIMM Frequency is equal
to 1.33 x CPU Clock (resulting in a DIMM Frequency overclocking).

4. Turbo Mode with a 100MHz CPU is not a workable overclocking be­cause the resulting frequency is lower than that of DDR DIMM.

5. Turbo Mode with a 133MHz CPU will generate a 1.33 x 133MHz (177MHz)

Frequency to DDR DIMM. However, this frequency will overrun the DDR

266/333 SDRAM. In this case, DDR 266/333 will possibly not boot the
system. Only when DDR 400 SDRAM is on board, will it be able to
accomodate the 1.33x133MHz overclocking and thus gain the DIMM
performance raise.

Note: In “Advanced Chipset Features” of BIOS Setup, there is also a “Turbo
Mode” option with the same function of DIMM Performance Raise. Use
either JFSB2 setting or BIOS to enable the Turbo Mode on DDR DIMM.

28

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

2-8.4 JBAT1 : 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 2 or 3 seconds, return the JBAT1 setting to Pin1-2 closed.

4. CMOS data are restored to default. Remember never clear CMOS
when system power is on.

2-8.5 JP3: AGP 4X Safeguard

1. The AGP slot on board supports 1.
5V AGP 4X card only. Any 3.3V AGP
2X card will burn the 1.5V circuitry.
Jp3 is designed on board to safe­guard the AGP slot against the 3.3V
AGP 2X card.

2. Default setting of Jp3 1-2 closed is to
enable the safeguard, allowing 1.5V
AGP 4X card to boot system only. In
this case, if system cannot boot with
an AGP card inserted in AGP slot, it
indicates that the AGP card is not one
of 1.5V type.

3. Setting Jp3 2-3 closed will disable the safeguard, allowing the onboard
VGA to boot system.

Warning: If a 3.3V AGP 2X card is now mistakenly inserted for booting
the system, the high voltage will burn the 1.5V circuitry on board. Never

use a 3.3V or an unknow AGP card on this mainboard.

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, users 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 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” in CMOS 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 AMI 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 Update 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

54

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:

DEL: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 check and configure the BIOS Setup for the new start.

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.

55

85DR2-DC / 85DR2-DCL

4-5 To Update 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 for upgrading

saving, and verifying the system BIOS. The Update Utility can also be
run from a hard disk drive or a network drive.

• It is highly recommended that you save a copy of the original mainboard

BIOS along with a Flash EPROM Programming utility (AMIXXX.EXE)to a
bootable floppy disk so that you can reinstall the BIOS when in need.

• Normally, to update BIOS is unnecessary if the system is working fine.

Users should only update BIOS when incompatible problems are encoun­tered or new features have to be added to system.

• “AMIFLASH.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, the

utility can not be executed in Windows 95/98, ME, NT, 2000 or Win­dows XP environment.

• Please follow the steps below for updating the sys­ tem BIOS:

Step 1. Please visit the board maker’s website, download the zip files
of the latest BIOS and AMI flash utility “AMIFLASH.EXE” for your
mainboard. After unzipping, the BIOS file format will be *.ROM, of which
“ * ” stands for the specific BIOS file name.

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

Step 3. Insert the diskette into drive A, boot your system from the
diskette.

Step 4. Under “ A “ prompt, type “ AMIXXX.EXE *.ROM “ and then
press <Enter> to run BIOS update program. Please note that there
should be a space between AMIXXX.EXE and *.ROM. (*.ROM depends
on your mainboard model and version code. Instead of typing “*”, you
should type the specific file name for your specific mainboard). For
example, you may type “amiflash(space)DR3C005.rom”.

Step 5. When the message “Flash ROM Update Completed - Pass.”
appears, please restart your system.

Step 6. You will see a message “CMOS Memory Size Wrong” during
booting the system. Press <Del> or <F1> to run CMOS setup utility,
then reload “LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS” or “Load Optimal Defaults”
and save this change.

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 your system BIOS through the Prom­ise Controller. 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 :

To create a Security array using an existing hard drive,
backup any necessary data. Failure to follow this could result in data
loss.

5-1.1 Creating An Array For Performance

FastTrak133-Lite allows users to create striped arrays with 1 or 2 drives.

1. Boot your system with FastTrak133-Lite Controller enabled by JP17
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:
