1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSLA/PDSLE. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, Chipset Core +1.5V, +3.3V, +3.3V standby, +5V, +5V Standby, Vbat and ±12V
The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to defi ne the sensitivity of the voltage monitor by using SD III.
Fan Status Monitor with Software
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero Doctor III.
Fan Fail Alert
When a fan fails during the normal operation, the Fan Fail LED will start to blink and the buzzer will be activated to indicate a fan failure.
CPU Overheat LED and Control
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to defi ne an overheat temperature. When this temperature reaches the pre-defi ned threshold, the CPU thermal trip feature will be activated and it will send a signal to the Speaker LED and, at the same time, the CPU speed will be decreased.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-4 Power Confi guration Settings
This section describes features of your motherboard that deal with power and power settings.
Microsoft OnNow
The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to system and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears to be off and responds immediately to user or other re-quests.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it keyboard will function like a normal keyboard during system boot-up.
Main Switch Override Mechanism
When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system suspend button. When the user depresses the power button, the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. Dur­ing the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just depress and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no power will be provided to the motherboard.
Wake-On-Ring (WOR) Header
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem ring-on can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.

PDSLA/PDSLE User’s Manual
1-5 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates of 1 GHz and faster.
The most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom­mended.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets 12V ATX power supply Specifi cation 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V 4-pin power connection (J41) be used for high-load confi gurations. In areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line fi lter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.
PDSLA/PDSLE accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although

1-6 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a fl oppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock genera­tor, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with fl oppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports two 360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.
It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART in­cludes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage­ment through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be fl exibly adjusted to meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management).

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specifi ed by the Manufac­turer. Do not install the CMOS onboard battery upside down to avoid a possible explosion.

2-2 Processor and Heatsink Fan Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
(*Note: The CPU heatsink is included in Intel's CPU retail package.)
Installation of the LGA775 Processor
IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
1. Press the socket lever to release the load plate, which covers the CPU socket, from its locking position.
2. Gently lift the socket lever to open the load plate.

3. Locate Pin 1 on the CPU socket.
(*Note: Pin 1 is the corner marked with a triangle). Please note that the North Key and the South Key are located vertically in the CPU housing.
4. Position the motherboard in such a way
that Pin 1 of the CPU socket is located at the left bottom of the CPU housing.
5. Use your thumb and your index fi nger
to hold the CPU at the North Center Edge and the South Center Edge of the CPU.
6. Align Pin 1 of the CPU with Pin 1 of the
socket. Once aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down to the socket. (**Do not drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or vertically. Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to avoid damage to the CPU or the socket.)

Installation of the Heatsink
1. Locate the CPU Fan on the moth­erboard. (Refer to the layout on Page 1-4 for the CPU Fan location.)
2. Position the heatsink in such a way that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan and are not interfered with other components
3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make sure that the wires are routed through the bottom of the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the protec­tive fi lm from the copper core of the heatsink.
(*Warning: CPU overheat may occur if the protective fi lm is not removed from the heatsink.)
5. Apply the proper amount of thermal grease on the CPU. (*Note: if your heatsink came with a thermal pad, please ignore this step.)
6. If necessary, rearrange the wires to make sure that the wires are not pinched between the heatsink and the CPU. Also make sure to keep clear­ance between the fan wires and the fi ns of the heatsink.
7. Align the four heatsink fasten­ers with the mounting holes on the motherboard. Gently push the fasteners into the mounting holes until you hear a "click".

8. Repeat Step 6 to insert all four heatsink
fasteners into the mounting holes.
9. Once all four fasteners are securely
inserted into the mounting holes and the heatsink is properly installed on the moth­erboard, connect the heatsink fan wires to the CPU Fan connector.
Heatsink Removal
1. Unplug the power cord from the power
supply.
2. Disconnect the heatsink fan wires from
the CPU fan header.
Chapter 2: Installation
3. Use your fi nger tips to gently press on
the fastener cap and rotate counterclock­wise to make a 1/4 (90
0
) turn.
4. Repeat Step 3 to loosen all fasteners
from the mounting holes.
5. With all fasteners loosened, remove the
heatsink from the CPU.
2-3 Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi t different types of chassis. Make sure that the location of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the moth­erboard to the chassis. Make sure the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly. Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray. Since some components are located very close to the mounting holes, please take precautionary measures needed to prevent the components from being dam­aged when you install the motherboard into the chassis. (*Note: some components are very close to the mounting holes, please take all precautionary measures to prevent damage done the these components when mounting the motherboard to the chassis.)

PDSLA/PDSLE User's Manual
2-4 Installing DDR2 Memory
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules
to prevent any possible damage.
Memory Module Installation (See Figure 2-2)
1. Insert each DDR2 memory module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incor­rectly. (See support information below.)
2. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
Support
The PDSLA/PDSLE supports Single/Dual channel, unbuffered, non-ECC,
DDR2 667/533/400 SDRAM. (Populate DIMM#1A,DIMM#1B, and/or DIMM#2A, DIMM#2B with memory modules of the same size/same type will result in the dual channel, two-way interleaved memory which is faster than the single channel, non-interleaved memory.)
Figure 2-2. Side and Top Views of DDR2 Module Installation into Slot
To Install:
Insert module vertically and press down until it snaps into place. Pay attention to the notch.
To Remove:
Use your thumbs gently to push each release tab outward to release the DIMM from the slot.

FP Audio
When front panel headphones are plugged in, the back panel audio output is disabled. This is done through the FP Audio header (J12). If the front panel interface card is not connected to the front panel audio header, jumpers should be installed on the header (J12) pin pairs: 1-2, 5-6, and 9-10. If these jumpers are not installed, the back panel line out connector will be disabled and microphone input Pin 1 will be left fl oating, which can lead to excessive back panel microphone noise and cross talk. See the table below for pin defi nitions.

Fan Headers
There are three fan headers (Fan 1, Fan 2 and Fan3) on the PDSLA/ PDSLE. (See the table on the right for pin defi nitions.) These are 4-pin fan headers; however, the traditional 3-wire fans are also supported. (Pins #1-#3 of the fan headers are back­ward compatible with the traditional 3­pin fans.) When a 3-wire fan is used, it will be set to run at the full speed by default. When a 4-wire fan is used, the CPU and chassis fan speeds will be automatically controlled by the control circuit inside the fan based upon the CPU temperature.
Chassis Intrusion
The Chassis Intrusion header is lo­cated at JL1. See the board layout in Chapter 1 for the location of JL1 and the table on the right for pin defi nitions.

VGA Connector (*For PDSLA only)
A VGA connector (JG1) is located next to the COM1 on the IO backplane. Refer to the board layout
below for the location.
AC'97 Output
AC'97 provides high qua audio. The PDSLA/PDSLE features 6-
channel sound for front L&R, rear L&R, center and subwoofer speakers. This feature is activated with the Advanced software (on the CD-ROM included with your motherboard). Sound is then output through the Line In, Line Out and MIC jacks (see at right). Activate AC 97 with the "AC 97 Audio" setting in the Advanced Chipset Features section of BIOS.

2-7 Jumper Settings
Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the moth­erboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identifi ed with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the motherboard layout pages for jumper locations.
Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed" means the jumper is on both pins and "Open" means the jumper is either on
only one pin or completely removed.

Pins
Jumper

Setting
Pins 1-2 short
JBT1 is not actually a jumper but con­sists of two contact pads. To clear the contents of CMOS, short these pads together by touching them both with a metal conductor such as the head of a small screwdriver. JBT1 is located near the SATA header on the PD­SLA/PDSLE. Note: for ATX power supplies, you must completely shut down the system and remove the AC power cord before clearing CMOS.

USB Wake-Up
Use JPUSB jumpers to enable the function of "System Wake-Up via USB devices", which allows you to "wake­up" the system by depressing a key on the USB keyboard or by clicking the USB mouse of your system. The JPUSB jumpers are used together with the USB Wake-Up function in the BIOS. Enable both the jumpers and the BIOS setting to allow the system to "wake-up via USB Devices". See the table on the right for jumper set­tings and jumper connections. (*Note: JPUSB1 is for Back Panel USB ports:1/2/3/4/5/6, and JPUSB2 is for Front Panel USB ports:7/8.)
Chapter 2: Installation
(*Note: The default jumper setting for the USB ports is "Disabled". However, when the "USB Wake-Up" function is enabled in the BIOS and the desired USB ports are enabled via the JPUSB jumper, please be sure to remove all USB devices from the USB ports whose USB jumpers are set to "Dis­abled" before the system goes into the standby mode.)

2-9 Parallel Port, Floppy Drive, and Hard Drive
Connections
Use the following information to connect the fl oppy and hard disk drive cables.
• The fl oppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
• A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.
• A single fl oppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide for two fl oppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always connects to drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires always connects to drive B.
• The 80-wire ATA100/66 IDE hard disk drive cable that came with your system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable should be used to take advantage of the speed this new technology offers. The blue connector connects to the onboard IDE connector interface and the other connector(s) to your hard drive(s). Consult the documentation that came with your disk drive for details on actual jumper locations and settings for the hard disk drive.
Parallel Port Connector
The parallel port is located on J30. Refer to Figure 2-3 for location. See the table on the right for pin defi ni­tions.

Chapter 2: Installation
Introduction to Serial ATA (SATA)
Serial ATA(SATA) is a physical storage interface. It uses a single cable with a minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. It is a serial link which supports SATA Transfer rates from 150MBps. The second gen­eration SATA can support up to 300 MBps theoretically. Because the serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel ATA(PATA), SATA systems have better airfl ow and can be installed in smaller chassis than Parallel ATA. In addition, the cables used in PATA can only extend to 40cm long, while Serial ATA cables can extend up to one meter. Overall, Serial ATA provides better functionality than Parallel ATA.
Introduction to the Intel ICH7 I/O Controller Hub
Located in the South Bridge of the Intel Lakeport (945G/P) chipset, the ICH7 I/O Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system. It supports 1-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller (PATA) and four Serial ATA (SATA) Second Generation Host Controllers, which support up to four Serial ATA ports and four hard drives. The ICH7 I/O Controller Hub supports the following Parallel ATA (PATA) and Serial (SATA) device confi gurations:
SATA Operate Modes
You can select from the following modes: Auto, Combined, Enhanced, and SATA Only Mode. The number of devices supported by these modes are listed below:
*SATA Only: The maximum of 4 devices are supported (4 SATA) *Auto Mode: The maximum of 6 devices supported (4 SATA + 2 IDE) *Enhanced Mode: The maximum of 6 devices supported (4 SATA + 2 IDE) *Combined Mode: The maximum of 4 devices supported (2 SATA + 2 IDE)

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The PDSLA/PDSLE supports unbuffered, non-ECC, DDRII-400/533/667
MHz memory modules. See Section 2-4 for details on installing memory.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: It is recommended that you not upgrade your BIOS if you are not experi-
encing problems with your system. Updated BIOS fi les are located on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com/techsupport/BIOS/bios.htm. Please check our BIOS warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web site. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than your current BIOS before downloading. Select your mainboard model and download the BIOS fi le to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update fi le and you will fi nd the readme.txt (fl ash instructions), the awdfl ash.exe (BIOS fl ash utility) and the BIOS image (xxxx. bin) fi les. Copy these fi les onto a bootable fl oppy and reboot your system. Then, follow the readme.txt to fl ash the BIOS.
Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will
greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers for Windows and security and audio drivers.
3-3
PDSLA/PDSLE User's Manual
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power But-
ton Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the fi rst screen that appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.
Question: How do I utilize the six-channel sound?
Answer: The six-channel sound available on the PDSLA/PDSLE can be enabled
with the audio driver software that was included in your motherboard package. When activated, sound will be routed through the jacks under the Game Port as follows: Line Out = front L&R speakers, Line In = rear L&R speakers, MIC = center and subwoofer speakers. You must also enable the "AC97 Audio" setting in the Advanced Chipset section of the BIOS setup.
Question: I installed my microphone correctly but I can't record any sound. What should I do?
Answer: Go to <Start>, <Programs>, <Accessories>, <Entertainment> and then
<Volume Control>. Under the Properties tab, scroll down the list of devices in the menu and check the box beside "Microphone".
Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)?
Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came with
your system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable must be used to take advantage of the speed the ATA100/66 technology offers. Connect
the blue connector to the onboard IDE header and the other connector(s) to your hard drive(s). Consult the documentation that came with your disk drive for
details on actual jumper locations and settings.
3-4
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
Question: After I have installed 4 pieces of 1GB Memory, why does the BIOS only detect about 3.145 GB of memory during POST?
Answer: Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, and PCI-e
memory requires a great deal of memory, so there is a memory hole located around the 4GB memory address.
Question: I have already enabled the USB Wake-Up mode in the BIOS, my system still cannot enter "Standby Mode"? Why?
Answer: In order for this function to work properly, please make sure that the USB
Wake-Up Jumpers (JPUSB1/JPUSB2) are also enabled on the motherboard.

BIOS
4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AwardBIOS for the PDSLA/PDSLE. The Award ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a fl oppy disk­based program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Refer to the Manual Download area of our web site for any changes to BIOS that are not refl ected in this manual.
System BIOS
The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and
®
PS/2
compatible computers. The AwardBIOS Flash chip stores the system pa­rameters, such as amount of memory, type of disk drives and video displays, etc. CMOS requires very little power. When the computer is turned off, a back-up battery provides power to the BIOS Flash chip, enabling it to retain the system parameters. Each time the computer is powered-on, the computer is then confi gured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control when the computer is powered on.
How To Change the Confi guration Data
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing <Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens, such as the Chipset and Power menus. Section 4-3 gives detailed descriptions of each parameter setting in the Setup utility.
