INSTALLATIONS
Installing the CPU
The TL-SBC 8280 CPU Card supports a Socket 478 processor socket
for Intel Pentium 4 processors.
The Socket 478 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the
processor. Raise this lever to about a 90° angle to allow the insertion of
the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the
notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the
inside of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, return
the lever to the lock position. Refer to the figures below.
After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct.
NOTE:
6 TL-SBC 8280 User’s Manual
Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in
total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.

ATX Power Installation
The system power is provided to the TL-SBC 8280 CPU card with the
J1 and J8 ATX power connectors. Please note that the J8 external ATX
power connector should be connected to the backplane for TL-SBC 8280 to
function. J8 is a 3-pin power connector. J1 is a 4-pin 12V power
connector. J1 is to be connected to the ATX power supply.
MicroPCI Daughter Card Installation
To insert the Micr oPCI daughter cards, position it at 30° to the PCB
and gently push it into the MicroPCI connector (See Figure 1 below).
The card will not fit when inserted at an angle of 45° or 15°. Once
inserted, slowly press the card towards the PCB until it locks on both
sides to the clips of the connector. Screw the card to the PCB to secure
the installation. To remove the MicroPCI card, pull the ‘clips’ sideways
as shown in Figure 2 below.

INSTALLATIONS
Installing the Memory
The TL-SBC 8280 CPU Card supports two DDR memory sockets for a
maximum total memory of 2GB in DDR memory type. The memory
module capacities supported are 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and
1GB. The following table lists the supported SDR DIMM
configurations. Intel 845G supports configurations defined in the
JEDEC DDR DIMM specification only (A, B, C). Non-JEDEC
standard DIMMs such as double-sided x16 DDR SDRAM DIMMs are
not supported.

1. Hold the DDR module so that the key of the DDR module aligns with
those on the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR module in an upright position until the clips of
the slot close to hold the DDR module in place when the DDR
module touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR module, press the clips with both hands.

Watchdog Timer Configuration
The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user
programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of
system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock.
Under these sort of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the
selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user
will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.

BIOS SETUP
BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel Pentium 4 processors. The
BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as
disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and
password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning
of the chipset controlling the entire system.
BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system
stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award
BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately
allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing
the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test
routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish
to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or
simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can
also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following
message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight i t ems, <Enter> to
select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help
and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup
functions and exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the
control keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just below
the control keys section, there is another section, which displays
information on the currently highlighted item in the list.
Note:
Warning:
If the system cannot boot after making and saving system
changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports an override
to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default.
It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been
carefully chosen by both Award and your system
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum
performance and reliability. Changing the defaults could
cause the system to become unstable and crash in some
cases.

BIOS SETUP
Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system
clock and error handling. If the CPU card is already installed in a
working system, you will not need to select this option. You will need
to run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system
hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration
stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

CPU L1 and L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have
additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the
system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to
enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By
default, these items are
Enabled
.
Quick Power On Self Test
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST)

Swap Floppy Drive
This item allows you to determine whether or not to enable Swap
Floppy Drive. When enabled, the BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments
so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A. By
default, this field is set to
Disabled.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
This feature controls whether the BIOS checks for a floppy drive while
booting up. If it cannot detect one (either due to improper configuration
or its absence), it will flash an error message.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up
the system.
Gate A20 Option
This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a
device used to address memory above 1 MB.

Report No FDD For WIN 95
If you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy disk drive, select
Enabled to release IRQ6. This is required to pass Windows 95/98's
SCT test. You should also disable the Onboard FDC Controller in the

The HDD, FDD, COM, LPT Ports, and PCI PIRQ are I/O events which
can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can
awaken the system from such a mode. When an I/O device wants to
gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an
IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the
request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
