1-7 CHIPSET

To compliment the Intel® Celeron processor, the Intel® 810 chipsets

delivers a balanced platform solution for value computing. The 810

chipset is a highly-integrated three-chip solution consisting of a Graphics

& Memory Controller (Intel 82810), an I/O Controller (Intel82801), and a

Firmware Hub (Intel 82802).

The ICH is a highly integrated multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that

provides the interface to the PCI Bus and integrates many of the functions

needed in today PC platforms. The ICH communicates with the host

controller over a dedicated hub interface. There are two versions of the

ICH (82801AA: ICH and 82801AB: ICH0). These devices are pin

compatible and are in 241-pin packages.

The Intel® 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) component is part of the Intel®

810 chipset. The FWH is key to enabling future security and

manageabilily infrastructures for the PC platform.

Intel has developed technology that enhances the performance and

exceptional value of the Intel® Celeron™ processor-powered PC. Built on

the strong foundation of Intel® 440BX AGPset technology, the Intel® 810

chipset has re-engineered the Value PC, providing next generation features

and great graphics performance at a lower cost.

Richer, more robust 2D and 3D graphics are optimized thanks to an

integrated chipset design that utilizes second-generation graphics

technology. This integrated chipset offers innovative features with

compelling performance while lowering overall system costs.

A new design with big benefits

At the core of the 810 chipset is a memory controller with built-in graphics

technology. The 82810 chip optimizes system memory arbitration, similar

Motherboard Description SY-7IWA-F

to AGP technology, resulting in a more responsive and cost-effective

system.

The 82810 Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) features Intel®

graphics technology and software drivers, using Direct AGP (integrated

AGP) to create vivid 2D and 3D effects and images. The 82810 chip

features integrated Hardware Motion Compensation to improve soft DVD

video quality and a digital video out port that enables connection to

traditional TVs or the new space-saving digital flat panel displays.

Intel® Dynamic Video Memory Technology (D.V.M.T.) is an architecture

that offers breakthrough performance for the Value PC segment through

efficient memory utilization and Direct AGP. The system OS uses the Intel

software drivers and intelligent memory arbiter to support richer graphics

applications.

The System Manageability Bus allows networking equipment to monitor

the 810 chipset platform. Using ACPI specifications, the system

manageability function enables low-power sleep mode and conserves

energy when the system is idle.

The 82801 I/O Controller Hub (ICH) employs the Intel® Accelerated Hub

Architecture to make a direct connection from the graphics and memory to

the integrated AC97 controller, the IDE controllers, dual USB ports, and

PCI add-in cards.

The Accelerated Hub Architecture provides twice the bandwidth of the

PCI bus at 266 MB per second. This allows a wider flow of rich

information from the I/O controller to the memory controller, with

optimized arbitration rules allowing more functions to run concurrently,

enabling more life-like audio and video.

Motherboard Description SY-7IWA-F

The Integrated Audio-Codec 97 controller enables software audio and

modem by using the processor to run sound and modem software. By

reusing existing system resources, this feature adds flexibility, and

improves sound quality.

The 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) stores system BIOS and video BIOS,

eliminating a redundant nonvolatile memory component. In addition, the

82802 contains a hardware Random Number Generator (RNG). The

Intel® RNG provides truly random numbers to enable fundamental

security building blocks supporting stronger encryption, digital signing,

and security protocols.

Intel 810 chipset re-engineers the Value PC by providing a platform that

will bring next generation features and great graphics performance to

Value PC while reducing overall platform cost.

1-7.1 Accelerated Graphics Port (A.G.P.)

A.G.P. is a high-performance bus for graphics-intensive applications, such

as 3D applications. A.G.P., while based on the PCI Local Bus

Specifications, Rev 2.1, is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for

exclusive use with graphical display devices. A.G.P. overcomes certain

limitations of the PCI bus related to handling a large amount of graphics

data with the following features:

l Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide memory access

latency

Motherboard Description SY-7IWA-F

l Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for near 100 percent

bus efficiency

l AC timing for 133 MHz data transfer rates, allowing real data

throughput in excess of 500 MB/sec

1-7.2 Universal Serial Bus (USB)

The motherboard has two USB ports; one USB peripheral can be

connected to each port. For more than two USB devices, an external hub

can be connected to either port. The motherboard fully supports the

universal host controller interface (UHCI) and used UHCI-compatible

software drivers.

Specification USB features include:

l Self-identifying peripherals that can be plugged in while the

computer is running

l Automatic mapping of function to driver and configuration

l Support for isochronous and asynchronous transfer types over the

same set of wires

l Support for up to 127 physical devices

l Guaranteed bandwidth and low latencies appropriate for telephony,

audio, and other applications

l Error-handling and fault-recovery mechanisms built into the protocol

Note

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port

may not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed

USB device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the

requirements for a full-speed USB device.

Motherboard Description SY-7IWA-F

1-7.3 IDE Support

The motherboard has two independent bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces.

These interfaces support PIO Mode3, PIO Mode 4, ATAPI devices (e.g.,

CD-ROM), and Ultra DMA/33 synchronous-DMA mode transfers. The

BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and extended cylinder head

sector (ECHS) translation modes. The BIOS automatically detects the IDE

device transfer rate and translation mode.

Programmed I/O operations usually require a substantial amount of

processor bandwidth. However, in multitasking operating systems, the

bandwidth freed by bus mastering IDE can be devoted to other tasks while

disk transfers are occurring.

The motherboard also supports laser servo (LS-120) drives. LS-120

technology allows the user to perform read/write operations to LS-120

(120MB) and conventional 1.44MB and 720KB diskettes. An optical

servo system is used to precisely position a dual-gap head to access the

diskett’s 2,490 tracks per inch (tpi) containing up to 120 MB of data

storage. A conventional diskette uses 135 tpi for 1.44 MB of data storage.

LS-120 drivers are ATAPI-compatible and connect to the motherboard’s

IDE interface. (LS-120 drives are also available with SCJSI and parallel

port interfaces.) Some versions of Windows 95 and Windows NT

operating systems recognize the LS-120 drive as a bootable device in both

120 MB and 1.44 MB mode.

Connection of an LS-120 drive and a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive is

allowed. The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device if selected

as Drive A in the BIOS setup program.

Note

If you connect at LS-120 drive to an IDE connector and configure it as

the :boot: drive and configure a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive as a “B”

drive, the standard diskette drive is not seen by the operating system.

When the LS-120 drive is configured as the “boot: device, the system will

recognize it as both the A and B drive

Motherboard Description SY-7IWA-F

1-11 WAKE ON LAN TECHNOLOGY

Wake on LAN technology enables remote wakeup of the computer through a network. Wake on LAN technology requires a PCI add-in network interface card (NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remote wakeup connector on the NIC must be connected to the onboard Wake on LAN technology connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the MII interface; upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal that powers up the computer. To access this feature uses the Wake on LAN technology connector.

CAUTION

For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be capable of delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power supply.
