4 Introduction

Unpacking the Mainboard

The mainboard package contains:

¥ The 82430FX / P54C Mainboard
¥ This User's Guide
¥ One Triones IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM Bus Master Drivers Diskette

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.

Memory Configuration

The mainboard supports eight banks of 72-pin SIMM or EDO DRAM
(with or without parity). The mainboard requires SIMM of at least 70ns

access time.

Single-side SIMM Double-side SIMM

4MB = 1MB x 36(32) 2MB = 512K x 36(32)

16MB = 4MB x 36(32) 8MB = 2MB x 36(32)

64MB = 16MB x 36(32) 32MB = 8MB x 36(32)

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

Note: You must install two strips of SIMM modules to complete a bank.

16 Hardware Setup

Cache Configuration

The mainboard has a write-back caching scheme. You can configure the
mainboardÕs cache by installing cache chips in the sockets noted below
and then set jumpers JP31 to set the mainboard for the type of SRAM
installed. See Figures 2Ð3Ð1~2Ð3Ð2 for cache configurations.

* 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.

18 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.

J1 – Keyboard Connector

A five-pin female DIN keyboard connector is located at the rear of the
board. Plug the keyboard jack into this connector.

PW1 – Power Supply Connectors

The mainboard requires a power supply with at least 200 watts and a
Òpower goodÓ signal. PW1 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.

J17 – Keylock & Power LED Connector

J17 is a connector for a lock that may be installed on the system case for
enabling or disabling the keyboard. J17 also attaches to the caseÕs Power
LED. (Pin 1Ð2 for power LED, pin3Ð5 for keylock.)

J18 – Speaker Connector

Attach the system speaker to connector J18.

J19 – Hardware Reset Control

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

Hardware Setup 19

J2 – PS/2 Mouse Connector

Attach PS/2 mouse cable to this connector.

J22 – Turbo LED Connector

Attach the turbo LED to J22. The LED lights when the system is in
Turbo mode.

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

Attach on-board hard disk drives to these connectors.

J11 – HDD LED Connectors

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

COM/VGA/LINE Connectors

Attach COM1/COM2/VGA/LINE OUT adapter to these connectors.

FDC1 Connector

Attach floppy cable to this connector.

P1 – Parallel Port Connector

Attach parallel port cable to this connector.

J3 – Pipelined Burst SRAM Module Slot

Contact your supplier for Pipelined Burst SRAM upgrade module to
upgrade your on-board cache SRAM up to 512KB. Make sure JP31 is
set for the right size when you upgrade your cache SRAM.

20 Hardware Setup

J6, U22 – Universal Serial Bus Connector (Optional)

Attach USB cable to these connectors for external USB device.

MPEG Connector – MPEG Daughter Board Connector
(Optional)

You could attach H/W MPEG Daughter Board to perform the H/W
MPEG function. Due to the various design, contact your dealer for the
H/W MPEG function.

TT Connector – TV Tuner/Feature Connector (Optional)

Attach TV Tuner/Feature Connector cable to this connector to enable the
TV Tuner/Feature Connector function.

Line Out – Line Out Connector

Linking one end of the line out cable to this connector and the other end
to COM/VGA/LINE adapter to enable line out function.

Line Out Cable

If you have S3 MPEG Daughter Board attached, you will need a Line
Out Cable to enable the Line Out function. Please contact the M/B
manufacture for the Line Out cable.)

IR – Infra Red Connector (Optional)

Attach Infra Red device cable to this connector to enable the infrared
transfer function.
