Configuring the System Board

The system board contains the following configuration settings:

CMOS jumper

❑

CPU Multiplier switches

❑

AGP_INT switch

❑

VGA switch

❑

The configuration jumpers should never need changing unless otherwise directed by a

✍

technical support or service technician.

Before opening the system, save any open files, exit Windows, turn off the

power of the computer and all attached peripherals, and unplug the power cord.

CMOS Jumper

The CMOS jumper provides two modes of operation: Normal mode, and Clear CMOS mode.

Normal mode allows normal access to the BIOS Setup Utility. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) input clock is forced to remain at 100 MHz (fast mode), and the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) uses the User CMOS settings (as opposed to the System CMOS settings). The CMOS and NVRAM settings are only cleared if the checksum test returns false. Access to specific setup fields is controlled by a supervisor password or user password.

The Clear CMOS mode removes the password that is stored in CMOS. No other parameters are cleared.

Page 32

Replacing the Lithium Battery

You may need to replace the lithium battery if your computer consistently loses the date or time settings after turning it off. The lithium battery has a typical life of three years, after which the battery may be too weak to power the CMOS memory.

Sony recommends that you use an authorized service dealer to replace the

lithium battery. However, if you wish to replace the battery yourself, read the following cautions, notes, and procedure.

When you remove the lithium battery, all values stored in the CMOS memory

(BIOS setup values and Plug and Play values) may be lost. Although the computer can hold the charge for a short time while replacing the battery, it is safer to assume that the settings will be lost. When the values are lost, the BIOS values revert to their factory-default settings (see “Accessing the

CMOS Setup Utility” on page 14).

Do not handle damaged or leaking batteries.

The lithium battery may explode if mistreated. Do not disassemble it or

dispose of it in fire.

Reboot your computer by selecting Shut Down... from the Start

menu, and then selecting Restart the computer. If the error message “Error: Check date and time settings” appears

during the reboot sequence, press F3, then press F2 during the reboot process to access the BIOS Setup Utility. Otherwise it is not necessary to replace the battery at this time, and you can skip all remaining steps.

Compare all the BIOS options to their default settings (see “CMOS

Setup Options” on page 75). Make a list of all the BIOS options that

are different from their default values. You will refer to this list when you restore the BIOS settings later.

Press ESC, then select Exit from the main menu using the right arrow

key. The Exit Discarding Changes is automatically selected (it is the first item in the list).

Press Enter, type N when prompted to save, then press Enter to exit

the BIOS Setup Utility. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.

Remove the system cover (see “Removing the System Cover” on

page 24).

Page 46

VAIO Slimtop™ Reference Manual

Carefully reach under the ribbon cable with your finger and push on the battery-eject lever (see diagram). One side of the battery pops up.

Be carefull not to dislodge the ribbon cable. If it becomes dislodged, you may

have to bring the unit in to a Sony-authorized service dealer.

Remove the battery with your finger and thumb and dispose of the

battery according to the instructions that came with the new battery. Insert the new battery into the battery holder, with the plus (+) side

up, and press down until the battery feels secure.

✍

The Sony CR2032 battery is recommended. Using a type of battery other than a CR2032 may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Replace the system cover (see “Replacing the System Cover” on

page 25). Reconnect the power cord and turn on the computer.

KY0

If the error message “Error: Check date and time settings.” appears

during the reboot sequence, press DEL to access the CMOS Setup Utility. If no error message displays, the computer’s CMOS settings were retained during the battery replacement and you can skip the remaining steps.

Page 47

Removing, Installing, and Replacing Components

Refer to the list you made in step 3 and restore any non-default

CMOS settings (see “CMOS Setup Options” on page 75). Select SAVE & EXIT SETUP from the main menu using the arrow

keys, then press Enter. Type Y, then press Enter to save the changes and exit the CMOS Setup

Utility. The computer’s CMOS settings are now restored.

Configuration Jumper and Switches

There is one configuration jumper (CMOS), and a bank of six configuration switches (1-6) that sets the CPU speed multiplier, AGP interrupt state (AGP_INT), and on-board VGA state (VGA).

CMOS Jumper

A jumper cap is installed on pins 1 and 2 (Normal) of the CMOS jumper when the computer is shipped. Do not move the jumper cap to the CMOS Clear position unless directed by a Sony-authorized technical support person.

Configuration Switches (SW)

A 6-switch dual inline package (DIP) provides configuration settings for FREQ Ratio (CPU multiplier), AGP_INT (AGP Interrupt) Enable/ Disable, and onboard VGA Enable/Disable. The CPU determines the CPU core frequency.

The computer ships with AGP_INT (SW 5) set to OFF (Disable) and VGA (SW 6) set to OFF (Disable), and with the FREQ Ratio multiplier set to X6.0 (see SW table for positions of SW 1 through 4). Do not change the position of any switch unless directed by a Sony-authorized technical support person.
