Intel

PENTIUM 4

2.80 GHz / 512 / 800

(Hyper-Threading 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 :
The new P4 processors at 2.40C, 2.60C, 2.80C, 3, 3.20GHz with an
advanced 800MHz system bus and P4 processor at 3.06Ghz with
533MHz system bus support Hyper Threading Technology.

The Serial ATA is designed to improve the Parallel ATA with the capabil­ity of Hot Plug and offer a data bandwidth of 150Mbytes/second. It also
reduce voltage and pin count and can be implemented with thin cables
which improve the inner ventilaton of PC cases.
2 Serial ATA connectors are built on board, supported by the ICH5 SATA
Controller for SATA Hard Disk Drives.

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/
+5V standby power for Wake On Lan function.

2-9 PCI/ISA Slot Setup

• 3xISA slot and 4 PCI slots are designed on board to support PCI/ ISA

card installation, which should all be assigned an IRQ for the signal
transfer. Generally, the system BIOS will automatically assign an IRQ
to every device it can detect at booting. However, in case user wants to
assign a typical IRQ for the onboard PCI / ISA device, please enter
“PCI/PNP Resource Management of BIOS setup to change the IRQ
configuration. (See the BIOS Setup illustration shown below.)

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

• To see a map of your used and free IRQs in Windows 98, the Control Panel

in My Computer, is incorporated with System icon. Click on System icon
to reveal a Device Manager tab. Double-Clicking on a specific hardware
device gives you a Resources tab which shows the Interrupt number and
address. Double-Clicking Computer (on top of the hardware list) to see all
the interrupts and addresses of all the hardware devices. Make sure that
each ISA device should be assigned to one IRQ respectively. If ISA device
shares IRQ with any other device, your computer will easily get into trouble.

2-10.0 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 JCLK1 & JCLK2: CPU Frequency Select

JCLK1 & JCLK2 are designed on board to support CPU Frequency se­lection for booting system.

1. Setting JCLK1 and JCLK2 to 1-2 closed will allow CPU on board to
Auto Detect its own frequency.

2. Setting JCLK1 and JCLK2 to 2-3 closed is for 100MHz CPU or
400MHz FSB to boot system..

2. Setting JCLK1 2-3 closed and JCLK2 all open is for 133 MHz CPU.

3. Setting JCLK1 all open and JCLK2 2-3 closed is for 200 MHz CPU.

4. If an overclock is used to boot system, 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 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

48

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.

49

SL-XP865G -3IG

• 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.

• “AMI.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 “amiflash.exe” into the diskette.

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

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.

4-6.7.6 Boot Sector Virus Protection

Boot Sector Virus

Protection

NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot

sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If you
plan to run such a program, we recommend that you dis­able the virus warning.

When enabled, you receive a warning message if a
program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to
the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk
drive.
You should then run an antivirus program. Keep in
mind that this feature protects only the boot sector,
not the entire hard drive.
