2 Introduction
Unpacking the Mainboard
The mainboard package contains:
Ÿ The EQ82C662X Mainboard
Ÿ One CD (Including Manuals/Drivers/Utilities)
Ÿ One page of One Sheet Manual
Note: Do not unpack the mainboard until you are ready to install it.
Follow the precautions below while unpacking the mainboard.
1. Be fore handling the mainboard, ground yourself by grasping an
unpainted portion of the system’s metal chassis.
2. Remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging and place it on
a grounded surface, component side up.
3. Check the mainboard fo r damage. I f any chip appears loose, press
carefully to seat it firmly in its socket.
Do not apply power if the mainboard appears damaged. If there is
dam a ge t o th e boa rd c onta c t yo ur d e ale r imm edia t ely.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Make sure yo u ground yourself before handling the mainboard or other
syste m components. Electrostatic discharge can easily damage the
components. Note that you must take special precaution when handling
the mainboard in dry or air-conditioned environments.
Take these precautions to protect your equipment from electrostatic
discharge:
Ÿ Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
the mainboard and other system components.
Ÿ Ground yourself before removing any system component from its
protective anti-static packaging. To ground yourself grasp the
expansion
slot covers or other unpainted portions of the computer chassis.
Ÿ Frequently ground yourself while working, or use a grounding strap.
Ÿ Handle the mainboard by the edges and avoid touching its
components.

2 Hardware Setup
This chapter is designed for Normal edition mainboard use only and it
explains how to configure the mainboardÕs hardware. After you install
the mainboard, you can set jumpers, install memory on the mainboard,
and make case connections. Refer to this chapter whenever you upgrade
or reconfigure your system.
CAUTION: Turn off power to the mainboard, system chassis, and
peripheral devices before performing any work on the
mainboard or system.
Jumpers
This mainboard uses different colors of jumper caps to identify different
functions of the jumpers:
Jumper Cap Color White Black Blue Red Green

JP22: CPU Burst Mode Jumper
Due to different designs, there are two kinds of CPU burst modes:
Interleave Burst and Linear Burst. Select the correct mode according to
the CPU you are using.
CPU Burst Mode JP22
Interleave
(for P54C/P55C and AMD
K5/K6 CPU)
Linear
(for Cyrix 6x86/L/MX CPU)
When using a Cyrix series of CPUs, follow the below procedures after
select the burst mode:
1. Press<Delete> key to enter the BIOS setup menu during the boot-up,
2. Select ÒChipset Features SetupÓ,
3. Set the ÒLinear BurstÓ to ÒEnabledÓ,
4. Press <Esc> to go back to the main menu and choose ÒSave & Exit
SetupÓ to reboot your computer.

JP1: Smart Detect CPU Voltage Auto/Manual Jumper
For P54C/P55C and Cyrix 6x86/L CPUs, this board automatically
detects and adjusts the CPU voltage to the proper voltage. JP1 is
reserved for a few older non-Intel CPUs which can not be detect
correctly. If you run into problems while detecting the voltage of older
CPUs, remove the jumper cap to correct it.
Page 11
Hardware Setup 7
JP37: DIMM Voltage Jumper
There are two kinds of DIMM voltages in the marketÑ3.3V and 5VÑ
and most of SDRAM DIMMS are 3.3V. Choose the correct voltage
according to the DIMM that you are using.

Caution: Do not change this jumper to 5V setting unless you are

CPU Type Configuration
SW1 and JP30 are the only switchs/jumpers that you need to set for your
CPU on this mainboard. Make sure that you know the type of CPU that
you are installing and refer to the proper settings which are listed below.
If you have a higher frequency CPU then the one listed below, see the
ÒQuick Installation GuideÓ for more SW1 information.
SW1: Frequency Setting. Some newer CPUs may not be included in
this section, please refer to the Appendix for more information.
JP30: Voltage Setting. There are two kinds of CPU voltages
currently on the marketÑSingle and Dual. The CPUs which
fall under the single voltage category are: P54C, AMD-K5, and
Cyrix 6x86. The CPUs which fall under the dual voltage
category are: P55C, AMD-K6, and Cyrix 6x86L/MX. This
board is designed to detect the CPU voltage automatically for
P54C and P55C CPUs due to the Smart Detect CPU Voltage
function, and therefore, there is no need to move any jumpers to
set the voltage for P54C/P55C CPUs.

Memory Configuration
The mainboard supports one bank of 72-pin 5V FPM/EDO/Burst EDO
DRAM (SIMM), and three strips of 168-pin 3.3V/5V Unbuffered
DIMM modules. The mainboard requires SIMM of at least 70ns access
time.
The mainboard supports SIMM bank and DIMM banks from 4 to 128
MB with no other restrictions on memory configurations. You can install
memory in any combination without having to rely on a memory
configuration table. Memory configuration is thus ÒTable-FreeÓ in any
memory bank. You must install two SIMM modules to complete a bank.

address conflict. (You ca n adjust these I/O addresses fr om the BIOS
setup.)
Note: Some sound cards have a default IRQ setting for IRQ7, which may

Drivers Guide
ETEQ Drivers Installation Guide
Step 1 : South Bridge Identify Issue
ETEQ south bridge chipset can not be identified by Windows 95 and so it shows two
question marks under ‘Device Manager’. Therefore, we provide drivers for you to
solve this problem. Please find the Setup.exe file from the \rev-10\utility\Eteq_USB
directory under your CD-ROM that came with your motherboard and install it.
Step 2 : IDE Bus Master/Ultra DMA Drivers
If you have IDE devices that support Bus Master or Ultra DMA function, you need to
install the drivers to enable these functions. Please find the Setup.exe file from the
\rev-10\utility\Eteq_IDE directory under your CD-ROM that came with your
motherboard and install it.

How to use AGP on the 5ED5/M-(T2)
Because AGP is a very new technology, enabling the use of AGP on your
5ED/M-(T2) board requires you to go through a lot of complicated steps.All the
necessary steps are described below, step through them one by one, then installing
all the necessary drivers should not be a problem.
1.) First of all, it is impossible to use the AGP port with a version of windows
lower than OSR2. Users of an older version of windows should upgrade to
OSR2. You can check what version of windows you have installed by
taking the following steps: click 'start', 'settings', 'control panel' and select
'system' there. Under the 'General' tab you will find what version of
Windows you have installed. If there is a B or a C at the end of the system
description then you have installed OSR2. Users of windows 98 (Memphis)
can use AGP as well. Users of NT will need to run NT5 to make use of
AGP.
2.) Now enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <Delete> during boot-up. Go to
the 'Chipset Features Setup' section of the BIOS setup and
make sure that the 'AGP' item there is set to 'enabled'.
3.) You will now have to install USBSUPP.EXE from Microsoft, which
includes the USB supplement and a new memory manager (VMM32.VxD)
needed for the AGP DIME feature. You can find this file on the OSR2 CD,
in the directory \OSR2\USBSUPP. (Make sure your OSR2 CD support USB)
4.) Install the VXD driver from this directory -> \rev-10\utility\Eteq_AGP\
setup.exe in your CD-ROM.
5.) Next you will have to install Direct X5 to your system. This is a set of
drivers provided by Microsoft for free, but you will have to download them
from their Internet Site. Go to the following address to download the
drivers: http://www.microsoft.com/directx/default.asp and download
'DirectX 5.0 for end users'. After downloading install it to your
system and restart your system.
6.) Install the drivers that came with your AGP card, and after restarting your
system you should be ready to make full use of your system's AGP port.
7.) In order to verify whether or not you really have successfully installed all
the necessary components, please take the following steps: Open the
'Microsoft DirectX-5 SDK' and double click on 'Direct X viewer'. Switch to
'DirectDraw Devices'. If there are numbers given for the following items:
'Video', 'Video (local)', 'Video (Non Local)' and 'texture', it means that you
have succeeded, because your system now allows your AGP card to make
use of the main memory for storage of image and texture data. If there is no
memory selected for these items then AGP is not enabled, please go through
the above steps to see if you forgot something.

BIOS Update
New item in CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP
New BIOS a dd a item in “ CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP” and it ’ s
“SUSTAINED 3T WRITE” (or “DIRTY BIT”).
Enabled : Set the L2 cache dirty bit to 0.
Disabled : Set the L2 cache dirty bit to 1.
Note : Please refer to page 13 for detail information about the relation
between Dirty bit and Cacheable range.
