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 2-2 Pentium 4 CPU Fan Installation 2-3 Memory Installation 2-4 VGA / AGP 8X/4X Slot Installation 2-5 IDE Connectors Installation 2-6 Floppy Drive Connector Installation 2-7 SATA /RAID Connectors Installation 2-8 ATX V2.03 Power Supply Installation 2-9 Jumper Settings 2-10 Other Connectors Configuration

2.4 GHz / 512 / 533 / 1.5V

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.

2-1.2 CPU Installation with Socket 478B

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

• 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 mainboard supports Hyperthreading 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.

2-3 Memory Installation

How to tackle the memory Modules:

• Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing memory module.

• Pay attention to the orientation of the DIMM slots.

2-3.1 Dual-Channel DIMM Installation

• Dual Channel memory configuration provides higher performance than Single Channel configurations

• Matched DIMMs with identical density, DRAM technology, DRAM bus width, and equal number of memory banks are needed .

• This series supports up to 2GB unbuffered Dual-channel DDR 400/ 333/266 SDRAM, with 2 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 DDR400, 5.4GB/s with DDR333 and 4.2GB/s with DDR266.

• 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.

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.

2-9.1 JFSB1 & JFSB2: CPU Frequency Select

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

1. Setting JFSB1 1-2 closed and JFSB2 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 2-3 closed and JFSB2 open is for 133 MHz CPU.

4. Setting JFSB1 open and JFSB2 2-3 closed is for 200MHz 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.)

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 .

2-9.2 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.

2-9.3 JKB1: KB / Mouse Wake Up

JKB1 is designed on board as a jumper to enable/disable the PS/2 keyboard/mouse Wake Up from suspend mode. Yet user should still enter the “ ACPI Configuration” of BIOS setup to choose the Wake Up mode. USB keyboard/mouse Wake Up function is also supported on this mainboard.

Chapter 5 ICH5R SATA RAID

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 ICH5R

Different types or modes of Disk Array have different formation models and functions. types of Disk Arrays: RAID 0 and RAID 1, but not 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.

The South Bridge on this mainboard supports only two

5-4 To Install SATA RAID Driver

SATA-RAID Driver is incorporated in Support CD/Floppy Diskette for user’s installation. Since Intel has not yet provided RAID driver for Win98, ICHR RAID system run with Win98 is not recommended

5-4-1 To Install SATA RAID Driver on Windows 2000/XP

(1) Get ready the Floppy Diskette holding the RAID Driver. (This Driver Diskette should have been enclosed in the mainboard

Package.)

(2) Check that SATA Hard Disks are connected properly to the SATA

Connectors.

(3) Start your PC system and use RAID BIOS Setup Utility to configure

RAID 0 or RAID 1 to the hard disks. (For SATA Interface, skip the

RAID configuration.) (4) Restart System and format the bootable hard disks. (5) Now, apply the Windows 2000/XP CD to CD-ROM for operating

system installation. (6) On the Windows 2000 Setup screen, press “F6” key to set up RAID

5-4-2 To run Windows 98SE/ME without ICH5R RAID driver

(1) You may also install Win98/Me on ICH5R RAID system, but there is

no ICH5R RAID driver to support Win98/Me.

(2) In the Win98 system run with RAID configuration, take the following

path to check the system performance:

My Computer/Propertie/Device manager

Click on Performance

The question mark here indicates that RAID Controller Driver is not installed yet.

(3) Instantly, the “Performance “ page shows up, stating that

Compatibility mode reduces overall system performance.

Win98/Me run in ICH5R RAID configuration is not recommended.
