Chapter 3 Hardware Description
This chapter briefly describes each of the major features of the AI5TT
motherboard. The layout of the board is shown in Figure 1 which
shows the locations of the key components. The topics covered in this
chapter are as follows:

Chapter 3 Hardware Description
Figure 1: Layout of the AI5TT Motherboard
6AI5TT Pentium Baby AT Motherboard User’s Manual
Chapter 3 Hardware Description
3.1 Processor and CPU Voltage
The AI5TT is designed to take a Pentium Processor with a bus speed of
60 and 66MHz. Since the internal clock of the CPU can be multiples of
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 of the bus clock, the CPU frequency can be 90,
100, 120, 133, 150, 166, 200 and 233MHz.
The onboard CPU Voltage provides support for CPUs Vcore which
require voltages from 2.0V to 3.5V for a total of 16 different voltages.
3.2 L2 Cache Memory
The AI5TT supports P.B. (Pipelined Burst) Synchronous Cache. The
P.B. Synchronous Cache boosts the system’s performance, 10% higher
than regular Asynchronous Cache.
3.3 Main Memory
The AI5TT motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMM and two 168-pin
DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets for a maximum total
memory of 256MB. The DRAMs for the SIMM sockets can be 4MB,
8MB, 16MB, 32MB, and 64MB in EDO and FPM types. DIMM
modules can be 8MB, 16MB, 32MB and 64MB.
The following should be noted when populating the SIMM/DIMM
sockets:
1. SIMM1/SIMM2, SIMM3/SIMM4, DIMM1 and DIMM2 bank can
be populated first.
2. Each bank** should consist of the same size SIMMs.
3. Each bank should consist of the same type SIMMs. For example,
SIMM1 and SIMM2 are both be EDO or Page Mode.
** Each bank consists of two SIMM slots or one DIMM slot. For
example, SIMM 1 and SIMM 2 are considered as one bank and
DIMM 1 as another one.
The BIOS on the AI5TT motherboard provides the standard BIOS
functions plus the following additional features:
1. ISA Plug and Play (PnP) Extension
Unlike PCI cards which are plug and play, ISA cards require setting
jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts. To make a computer system
PnP, an ISA PnP standard is established and supported by new OSes,
such as Windows 95. Under Windows 95, the motherboard BIOS must
have ISA PnP extension to support the new ISA PnP cards.
2. Power Management
The power management feature provides power savings by slowing
down the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the
HDD spindle motor.
3.5 Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ)
There are a total of 15 IRQ lines available on the motherboard.
Peripheral devices use interrupt request lines to notify the CPU for the
service required. The following table shows the IRQ used by the
devices on the motherboard.

Chapter 3 Hardware Description
3.6 DMA Channels
There are seven DMA Channels available on the motherboard. Only
DRQ2 is used by the floppy controller. In the case that ECP mode on
the parallel port is used, DRQ1 or DRQ3 will be used.
3.7 I/O Port Address Map
Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port
addresses which also becomes the identity of the device. There is a total
of 1K port address space available. The following table lists the I/O
port addresses used on the motherboard.
The PCI EIDE controller is part of the 430TX PCIset. It supports PIO
mode 3/4 and bus mastering . The peak transfer rate of PIO mode 3/4
can be as high as 17MB/sec. Using HDDs that support bus mastering,
the peak transfer rate can reach 22MB/sec. There are two IDE
connectors, primary IDE and secondary IDE. With two devices per
connector, up to four IDE drives are supported.
The controller also supports Ultra DMA/33, a new “synchronous
DMA” protocol featured in PIIX4. It is built on Intel’s existing 16MB/s
Bus Master interface to improve disk I/O throughput to 33MB/s. It uses
both edges of data strobe to obtain 2X speed across the cable and is
backward compatible with today’s drives. It also has 16-bit CRC error
detection across the cable for improved integrity.
3.9 Onboard Multi-I/O
The onboard multi-I/O chip, Winbond W83977, supports two 16550
UART-compatible serial ports, one high speed EPP/ECP parallel port
and one floppy controller. The floppy controller supports 2.88MB
format. The I/O port addresses of the serial and parallel ports are
programmable via BIOS set-up.
3.10 System Hardware Monitor Device (optional)
The System Hardware Monitor Device (from National Semiconductor)
allows the system to track the PC health through hardware monitoring
of the system and CPU temperature, voltage levels, and CPU and
chassis fans to ensure the system’s normal operation.

6.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a
standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical
low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial and
parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as

6.2 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 items, <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.

Chapter 7 LANDesk User’s Guide
This chapter gives a brief introduction to LANDesk Client Manager
(LDCM), as well as the installation procedures.
LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) provides the capability for
managing components (network interface cards, memory, printers,
software applications, etc.) within a PC system. It uses the Desktop
Management Interface (DMI) standard established by the Desktop
Management Task Force (DMTF). Manageable components can be
viewed, monitored, and administrated across multiple platforms, either
locally or remotely on a network.
The LDCM package has been implemented in two different ways: a
user (client) version and an administrative version (Remote
Companion). The user version provides the ability to only manage the
local PC. The administrative version allows a network administrator to
manage the local PC and other PC nodes on the network. This means
that the administrative version has the ability to gather information
about remote PCs, as well as remotely controlling the PCs. The remote
access is based upon granted rights by the managed client.
LDCM provides the user with self-help diagnostics, including a PC
health meter, local alerting of potential problems, and hardware and
software inventory. Automatic polling and alerting of memory and
hardware conditions and predictive failure mechanisms minimize
downtime and increase effective troubleshooting. LDCM can take
periodic “snapshots” of critical configuration files for easy change
management and restoration when needed.
