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.

Chapter 3 Hardware Description
3.4 BIOS
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.
Level Function
IRQ0 System Timer Output IRQ1 Keyboard IRQ2 Interrupt Cascade IRQ3 Serial Port #2 IRQ4 Serial Port #1 IRQ5 Parallel Port #2 IRQ6 Floppy Disk Controller IRQ7 Parallel Port #1 IRQ8 Real Time Clock IRQ9 Software Redirected to Int 0Ah IRQ10 Reserved IRQ11 Reserved IRQ12 Reserved IRQ13 80287 IRQ14 Primary IDE IRQ15 Secondary IDE

3.8 Onboard PCI EIDE
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 special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
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.

IDE HDD Block Mode
This field allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk drive.
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO And Secondary Master/Slave PIO
These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands that transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO (Programmed Input/Output) allows the BIOS to communicate with the controller and CPU directly.
The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode.
IDE Primary Master/Slave UDMA And Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
This field allows your system to improve disk I/O throughput to 33Mb/sec with the Ultra DMA/33 feature. The options are Auto and Disabled.

Chapter 7 LANDesk User’s Guide
7.1 Introduction
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.
