Chapter 4 Configuring the Motherboard

4.1 CPU Frequency Selection

Setting CPU Speed in the BIOS Setup

The LI6BM motherboard allows users to set the CPU speed through the BIOS Setup. The parameters used in configuring the CPU speed include CPU Clock Multiplier (X3, X3.5, X4, X4.5, X5) and CPU Clock (66MHz, 68MHz, 75MHz, 83MHz or 100MHz, 103MHz, 112MHz, 133MHz).

In the initial setup, the system automatically detects the base Frequency of the CPU (66MHz or 100MHz). Under the under CPU Speed Setting section, use the  and  keys to easily change the CPU speed or press the PageUp or PageDown key to see more options.

Overclocking could cause the system not to boot in the process of setting the CPU speed. When this happens, turn off the computer by pressing the power button and turn it on again by pressing the Insert key and the power button simultaneously. When the system is turned on, press the Delete key to enter BIOS Setup and configure the CPU speed.

4.4 TV-Out Hardware Compliance Setting: JP12

The 2-pin JP12 jumper for TV-Out hardware compliance setting is relevant only to the S-Video connector and not to the RCA connector. Although S-Video provides better TV output quality, specifications of TV sets in the market are not consistent. The LI6BM motherboard comes with the ATI RAGE LT PRO VGA controller that auto detects TV signals. It is able to determine if there is a TV set connected to the computer or not.

When the S-Video connector is used to connect the computer to the TV set, your computer monitor and the TV set will show images after you have turned them on. However, if your computer is functioning properly but the TV screen is blank, then you have to short/close the JP12 jumper located just at the back of the S-Video connector on the LI6BM. After doing so, restart your computer. The default setting of

JP12 is OPEN.

4.5 CPU Host Frequency Force Selector: JP3

The LI6BM is able to detect the host frequency (66MHz or 100MHz) of the installed CPU. The JP3 jumper, however, can be set to OPEN to override the detection and force the host frequency to run at 100MHz.

Chapter 6 BIOS and System Setup

6.1 BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel Pentium II processors. 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.

Virus Warning

This item protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk against accidental modifications. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either allow the operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem.

NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs, which attempt to access the

boot sector table, can cause the virus warning. If you will run such a program, disable the Virus Warning feature.

CPU Internal Cache / External 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.

CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

When enabled, this allows ECC checking of the CPU’s L2 cache. By default, this field is Enabled.

Quick Power On Self Test

When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.

Boot Sequence

This field determines the drive that the system searches first for an operating system. The default value is A, C, SCSI. The options are :

A, C, SCSI D, A, SCSI SCSI, C, A C, A, SCSI E, A, SCSI C only C, CDROM, A F, A, SCSI LS/ZIP, C CDROM, C, A SCSI, A, C

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.

LI6BM User’s Manual 43

Chapter 6 BIOS and System Setup

Boot Up Floppy Seek

When enabled, the BIOS will seek whether or not the floppy drive installed has 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type has 40 tracks while 760K,

1.2M and 1.44M all have 80 tracks. By default, this field is set to

Enabled.

Boot Up NumLock Status

This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the system. By default, the system boots up with NumLock On.

Boot Up System Speed

This has no function and selects the default system speed (High).

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.

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. The default setting is

Fast.

Typematic Rate Setting

When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. When enabled, you can set the two typematic controls listed next. By default, this field is set to Disabled.

Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

Chapter 8 VGA Driver Installation Guide

8.1 Introduction

The onboard ATI 3D RAGE LT PRO utilizes AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) bus to achieve rich 3D and video graphics display. It enables 3D graphics capabilities including support for z-buffering, alpha blending and faster texture mapping. Onboard TV-out connectors support S-VHS and RCA specifications. The unique features of the 3D RAGE LT PRO are as follows:

 TV-Out. An integrated TV encoder with on-chip triple-DAC

allows simultaneous CRT/LCD/TV output.

 Dual CRT Controller Support. Two independent CRT

controllers support two asynchronous simultaneous displays (LCD/CRT, CRT/TV)

 Floating-Point Set-up Engine. The 3D RAGE LT PRO

integrates a floating-point set-up engine capable of processing up to 1.2 million triangles per second. By offloading the set-up function from the CPU, allowing it to focus on 3D geometry and lighting transformation, the 3D RAGE LT PRO dramatically improves the performance of the entire 3D pipeline.

 DVD and Video Support. DVD and video features include

enhanced motion compensation acceleration and a 4-tap horizontal and 2-tap vertical high quality DVD video scaler, providing smooth images without the jagged edges common to today’s video products. The scaler provides true color video display, independent of the graphics mode used.

 AGP 2X mode. With AGP 2X (133MHz) mode support, the

3D RAGE LT PRO offers a peak bandwidth in excess of 500MB/s, which is twice the output of the AGP 1X (66MHz) mode. It also supports AGP’s pipeline and sideband protocols that significantly improved the sustained bandwidth that is critical to the enhanced 3D and video performance.
