Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

To Get Things Ready for Hardware Setup !

1. We recommend to install your CPU before any other components.

For detailed installation instructions of processor, you can also refer
to the pamphlet enclosed in your CPU package.

2. Installing a cooling fan with a good heat sink is a must for proper

heat dissipation for your CPU. Get ready an appropriate fan with
heat sink for proper installation. Improper fan and installation will
damage your CPU.

3. In case CPU Vcore, CPU clock or Frequency Ratio is adjustable on

board, please follow the instructions described in the User’s manual
for proper setup. Incorrect setting will cause damage to your CPU.

The following topics are included in this chapter:

2-1 CPU Installation with Socket 478B

2-1 CPU Installation with Socket 478

2-1.1 To Identify a Pentium 4 CPU

Intel

pentium 4

2.4 GHz / 512 / 533 / 1.5V

(Hyper-Threading CPU included)

4) CPU Voltage Vcore

3) System Clock

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. For example,

2.4 GHz depicts that this CPU is locked to 2.4 GHz working frequency

(18 x 133MHz CPU clock);
2A GHz depicts that this CPU is an A version, locked to 2.0 GHz
working frequency (20 x 100MHz CPU clock)

3.06GHz depicts that this is a 3.06GHz hyper-threading CPU

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 Clock: this part depicts the System Clock (Front Side Bus)

provided by the CPU. For example,
533 stands for a 533MHz system clock provided by a 133MHz CPU
times 4;
400 stands for a 400 system clock provided by a 100 MHz CPU x 4.

4. CPU Voltage Vcore: this part depicts the CPU Voltage. For example,

1.5V stands for a CPU of 1.5V Vcore.

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

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

2-3.1 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. In
this series, DIMM1 and DIMM3 is a pair, and DIMM2 and DIMM4 is
another.

• 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.

2-4 AGP 8X/4X 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.

2-5 IDE Connectors Installation

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.

ATX V2.03 Power Supply is strongly recommended for mainboard run­ning with 2GHz or higher CPU.

To set up Power Supply on this mainboard:

1. Connect the on-board Main Power Connector (20-pin) to the Main
Power Connector (20-pin) of an ATX Power Supply which can be of
the latest version 2.03 model, and then connect the square-shaped
+12V Power Connector on board to the square-shaped +12V Power
Connector of the Power Supply.

Warning: Both the Main Power Connector and the +12V Power
Connector should be connected to Power Supply; otherwise, the
system may either not start or be damaged.

2. This ATX Power Supply should be able to provide at least 720mA/

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, the 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 opened

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 will be damaged.

2-10.1 JFSB1 & JFSB2: CPU Frequency Select

JFSB1 and JFSB2 are designed on board for CPU frequency select.

1. Setting JFSB1 1-2 closed and JFSB2 to 1-2 closed will allow CPU on
board to Auto Detect its own frequency and apply it to the System
Bus.

2. Setting JFSB1 2-3 closed and JFSB2 2-3 closed is for 100 MHz CPU.

3. Setting JFSB1 opened and JFSB2 2-3 closed is for 133 MHz CPU.

4. Setting JFSB1 2-3 closed and JFSB2 opened is to select a CPU
clock at 200 MHz for your CPU. If 200MHz is an overclock for your
CPU, it may or may not boot your system. If an overclok fails to boot
system, you should restore the default setting and then clear CMOS
to reboot your system. (See Clear CMOS in next paragraph.)

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” of
Advanced BIOS Features, and 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 .

2-10.2 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, restore the JBAT1 setting to Pin1-2 closed.

4. CMOS data are restored to default now. Remember never clear

CMOS when system power is on.

LJP1 is a 2-pin jumper for enabling or disabling the on-board LAN
Controller. Users can set LJP1 1-2 opened to enable the on-board
LAN Controller so as to set up the LAN driver, or to set LJP1 1-2
closed to disable the on-board LAN Controller. No matter LJP1 is
enabled or disabled, users are free to use an add-on PCI LAN card
for networking.

Fan Connector
Fan3, yellow, sensor

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 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.

2-11.2 USB Ports and USB Pin-headers

This series provides four USB ports USB0 to USB3 on board support­ing various USB devices. In addition, two USB pin-headers are added
on board to provide expansion of four more optional USB ports by us­ing two additional USB cables. Users can order the optional USB cables
from your mainboard dealer or vendor.

When plugging the USB cable to USB Header, users must make sure
the red wire is connected to Pin 1.
All 8 USB ports are compliant with 1.1 / 2.0 USB Bus. USB 2.0 supports
Windows 2000 and up (no support for Windows 9X/ME). Please see

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

58

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.

59

865-R/865-GR

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 (amiflash.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 util-

ity can not be executed in Windows 95/98, ME, NT, WINDOWS 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 “amiflash.exe” into the diskette.

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

60

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

Step 4. Under “ A “ prompt, type “ amiflash *.ROM “ and then press
<Enter> to run BIOS update program. (*.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 MP005.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 Failsafe Defaults” or “Load Optimal Defaults” and
save this change.

Chapter 5 RAID & RAID Driver

Promise RAID Controller PDC20378 & RAID Driver

Promise RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) Controller PDC
20378 is built in this series of mainboards to provide RAID configuration
of RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 0+1 modes. RAID Drivers are enclosed
in a Driver CD as well as a Floppy diskette to support various RAID
systems (Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP) setup.

Chapter 5 RAID & RAID Driver

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 Types Supported by Promise PDC20378

PDC20378 on this mainboard supports three types of Disk Arrays: RAID
0, RAID 1, and RAID 0+1.

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 (Mirror/Stripe):

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.
