2 Introduction

Unpacking the Mainboard

The mainboard package contains:

¥ The 82430HX Mainboard
¥ This User's Guide
¥ One IDE Bus Master driver and three audio drivers diskettes

Note: Do not unpack the mainboard until you are ready to install it.

Follow the precautions below while unpacking the mainboard.

1. Before handling the mainboard, ground yourself by grasping an
unpainted portion of the systemÕs 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 for damage. If 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
damage to the board contact your dealer immediately.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Make sure you ground yourself before handling the mainboard or other
system 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:

¥ Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install

the mainboard and other system components.

¥ 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.

¥ Frequently ground yourself while working, or use a grounding strap.

¥ Handle the mainboard by the edges and avoid touching its

components.

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.

CPU Type Configuration

This section shows you how to configure your CPU step by step. Note
that you need to check the CPU voltage before installation. If you want
to use both CPUs, remember that you can only install the same type,
voltage, and frequency CPUs in.

Memory Configuration

The mainboard supports two banks of 72-pin SIMM, EDO DRAM.
The mainboard requires SIMM of at least 70ns access time.

The mainboard supports from 4 to 256 Mbytes with no other restrictions
on memory configurations. You can install SIMM in any combination
without having to rely on a memory configuration table. Memory
configuration is thus ÒTable-FreeÓ in any SIMM bank. You must install
two strips of SIMM modules to complete a bank.

Cache Configuration

The mainboard has a write-back caching scheme. You can order 256KB
or 512KB Level 2 Pipelined Burst cache onboard to improve the system
performance.

* If default I/O port addresses conflict with other I/O cards (e.g. sound

cards or I/O cards), you must adjust one of the I/O addresses to avoid
address conflict. (You can adjust these I/O addresses from the BIOS.

Note: Some sound cards have a default IRQ setting for IRQ7, which may

conflict with printing functions. If this occurs do not use sound
card functions at the same time you print.

12 Hardware Setup

Connectors

Attach the mainboard to case devices, or an external battery, via
connectors on the mainboard. Refer to Figure 1-1 for connector locations
and connector pin positions.

COM1/COM2 Connectors

Attach COM1/COM2 device cable to these connectors.

JP40 – CE Test Jumper Pin

This connector is reserved for the CE test. If you have some problems
during the CE test, unplug the jumper pin and try again.

FDC Connector

Attach floppy cable to this connector.

J19 – Hardware Reset Control

Attach the Reset switch to J19. Closing the Reset switch restarts the
system.

J24 – IDE LED Connectors

Attach on-board hard disk drive LEDs to this connector. The LED lights
when an HDD is active.

IDE1/IDE2 – On-board Primary/Secondary IDE HDD
Connectors

Attach on-board hard disk drives to these connectors.

function. And also, you need to enable the PS/2 mouse function by
putting the jumper cap on JPS2 jumper.

PW – Power Supply Connectors

The mainboard requires a power supply with at least 200 watts and a
Òpower goodÓ signal. PW has two six-pin male header connectors. Plug
the dual connectors from the power directly onto the board connector
while making sure the black leads are in the center.

PRT – Parallel Port Connector

Attach parallel port cable to this connector.

14 Hardware Setup

J23: Sleep Switch Connector Enable/Disable

Toggle this jumper to force the system into power saving (Green) mode.
Any hardware IRQ signal makes the system wakeup.

J18 – Speaker Connector

Attach the system speaker to connector J18.

J22 – Turbo LED Connector

1) You should install CD-ROM in secondary channel in Windows
(WFW).

2) Change the current directory to a: or b:.

3) Under DOS command line prompt, run the SETUP directly.

After entering the setup utility, just follow the instructions of the setup.

WINDOWS NT3.5

1) From the Program Manager, double click on ÒWindows NT SetupÓ
in the Main group.

2) Select ÒOptions/Add/Remove SCSI Adapters...Ó.

3) Click on Add.

4) The ÒSelect SCSI Adapter OptionÓ dialog will appear; select ÒOther
(Requires a disk from a hardware manufacturer)Ó from the

PIIX/PIIX3 Bus Master EIDE/ATAPI Driver disk into Drive A: and
type in Òa:\winnt35Ó and <Return>.

6) Next, the ÒSelect OEM OptionÓ dialog box will appear; select
ÒPIIX/PIIX3 Bus Master EIDE/ATAPIÓ and click ÒOKÓ.

7) Next, the ÒSelect SCSI Adapter OptionÓ dialog box will appear;
click on the ÒInstallÓ button in the dialog box. If installation is
successful, the ÒSCSI Adapter SetupÓ dialog box will reappear, and
ÒPIIX/PIIX3 Bus Master EIDE/ATAPIÓ will be listed. That means
the driver is installed.

8) Reboot your system to load the driver.
