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:

2-1 775-pin Prescott CPU and Socket LGA 775

2-1.1 To Identify a 775-pin Prescott CPU

The pin-pad side of 775 CPU

This yellow triangle
denotes Pad 1 of CPU.

LGA 775 CPU
(with heat glue on surface)

2-1.2 To install 775-pin Prescott CPU into Socket LGA 775

1. LGA 775 socket is safeguarded by a metal cover and a protective cap on top.
Never remove the protective cap before CPU has already been installed into socket.

(The protective cap is protecting
LGA 775 socket-pins from
unnecessary exposure.)

The Heat Glue
on surface is for
better heat dispersion

The yellow triangle
denotes location of
Pad 1.

(The Protrusion for turning up
the protective cover and cap.)

(Turn up the lever this way
to unlock the metal cover.)

2. Pull sideaway the socket lever and turn it up so as to unlock the metal cover from the
socket base.

3. Since the metal cover together with the cap is unlocked from the socket base now,
use a fingertip to pull at the protrusion at one end of cap so as to turn the cover and
cap up.

4. The cover and the cap are turned open now, revealing the socket-pins.
We should be aware that the pins are so delicate they are forbidden to be touched
with anything other than a 775-pin CPU.

(The triangle here

(Turn open the cover and
cap this way to reveal the
socket pins.)

Attention: The pins are so delicate that they
are forbidden to be touched with anything
other than a 775-pin CPU.

(The socket pins)

denotes Socket
Pin1 location.)

17

SL-865Pro-775

5. As soon as the Cover and Cap is lifted up, place down the 775 CPU gently into 775
Socket with Pad1 matching Socket Pin1.

(This triangle on socket denotes
Socket Pin1 location.)

(This yellow triangle on CPU
denotes Pad1of CPU.)

6. When you have made sure the 775-CPU is properly laid down, you should now return
the Metal Cover to Socket so as to fix down the CPU.

7. After returning the Metal Cover to Socket, pull back the Socket Lever to Socket until it
gets back to the latch.

8. Since the Metal Cover is returned to Socket, use a fingertip to lift and remove the
protective Cap for the Cooling Fan installation.

(The Cap is lifted up away from the

(The 775 CPU)

Cover and can be removed now.)

(Attention: Never remove this Protective
Cap if CPU is not in Socket.)

(Lever returned to Latch)

(The Metal cover)

(The 775-Socket)

9. CPU is installed, Metal cover fixed to socket, Protective Cap removed, we should install
CPU Cooling Fan now.

(CPU installed, Metal Cover fixed to Socket, and Protective
Cap removed, we should install CPU Cooling Fan now.)

( Cooling Fan

10. Insert the 4 Fan Supporters into the Support Holes on board, and then connect the Fan
Power cable to the Fan Connector on board.

(The Fan cable is
connected to Fan
connector on board.)

• Matched DIMMs need to have identical density, DRAM technology,

DRAM bus width, and equal number of memory banks.

• 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.

• To enable Dual-channel memory function,

identical (size and frequency) DDR module pair into the bank-pair.
On this mainboard, DIMM1 + DIMM3 is a Dual channel bank-pair.
DIMM2 + DIMM4 is another. That means, dual-channel transmission

is only enabled in pair, not randomly in any two DIMMs.

DIMM1+DIMM3 = Dual Channel Memory

or / and

DIMM2+DIMM4 = Dual Channel Memory

users should insert totally

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.

2-3 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.

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 damaged.

2. This ATX Power Supply should be able to provide at least 720mA/
+5V standby power for Wake On Lan function.

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.

2-8.1 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 all open and JFSB2 2-3 closed is for 133 MHz CPU.

3. Setting JFSB1 2-3 closed and JFSB2 2-3 all opened is for 200 MHz
CPU.

4. 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.)

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

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 .

2-8.2 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.

Memory performance. If you want to obtain
better system performance, you can set
JFSB3 2-3 closed to enable the Memory
Turbo Mode. Otherwise, you can set JFSB3
1-2 closed to disable the Memory Turbo
Mode.

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

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.

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.

• “AFUDOS.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, 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.

50

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

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 PDC20579

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.

85

SL-865Pro-775

5-1. SATA RAID and PATA RAID Layout on Board

PDC20579 is on board. It supports 2xSATA RAID Disk Drives and
2xPATA (IDE) RAID Disk Drives (and that is why PDC20579 supports
RAID 0+1).
