Board Installation
Chapter 2–Board Installation
2.1 Unpacking
The mainboard package should contain the following:
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original
packaging until it is ready to be installed.
With the power supply plugged in and turned off, touch an unpainted area
of the system chassis immediately before handling the mainboard or any
component. Doing so discharges the static charge your body may have
acquired.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board–holding it by
its edges–and place it on a grounded anti-static surface, component side
up. Inspect the board for damage. Do not inspect board unless it is placed
on an anti-static mat. Do not touch the bottom of the board.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED!
2.2 Installation
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the S1571 matches the Baby-AT system board specifications. It is assumed
that the chassis is for a standard Baby-AT mainboard form factor.

3.6 Flash EPROM-Jumper JP23
The S1571 uses flash memory to store BIOS programs. It can be updated
as new versions of the BIOS become available. The flash utility will guide
you through the process step by step.
JP23 determines which type of EPROM is used. This jumper has been set
to match the on-board BIOS chip. The factory default for the S1571 is on
pins 1 and 2. Depending on the type of EPROM used, some boards will
have JP23 on pins 2 and 3.
Refer to chapter 5 for Flash EPROM upgrade procedures.
3.7 Hardware CMOS & Password Reset: JP22
If you have been locked out of your system because you forgot your password or set the CMOS incorrectly, follow the instructions below.
a. Power off the system.
b. Connect jumper JP22 to pins 2 and 3.
c. Wait for 2 seconds, then return JP22 to pins 1 and 2.
d. Power on the system again.
By following the above procedures, you will erase your password and reset the CMOS to the BIOS defaults.

Installation procedure:
1. Make sure the ZIF socket lever is up. To raise the lever, pull it out
to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go. The top plate will
slide back.
2. Align the CPU and socket pin 1 corners. The pins on the bottom of
the CPU should align with the rows of holes in the socket.
3. Insert the CPU in the socket. It should insert easily. If it does not,
adjust the position of the lever a little.
4. Press the lever down. The top plate will slide forward. You will
feel some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in
the socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU. The lever
should snap into place at the side of the socket.
3.10 Upgrading Cache Memory
The S1571 has 512KB of on-board pipeline-burst SRAM and cannot be
upgraded in the field. The TX chipset can cache a maximium of 64MB
of RAM.
3.11 Peripheral Device Installation
After all the jumpers on the mainboard have been set, it can then be mounted
into the case. Proceed to install the display card and any other peripheral
devices.
If a PCI-Bus interface card is to be installed in the system, any one of the
five PCI-Bus slots can support either a Master or a Slave device.
After installing the peripheral controllers, you should check everything
again, and prepare to power on the system.
