CE Marking

As we begin the 21st century, European standards are being harmonised across borders. If products comply with the same standards in all European countries, product exporting and importing is made simple - paving our way to a common market. If you buy a product with a 'CE' mark on it (shown below), on the box, in the manual, or on the guarantee - it complies with the currently enforced directive(s).

Introduction to EMC

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) is the term used to describe certain issues with RF (Radio Frequency) energy. Electrical items should be designed so they do not interfere with each other through RF emissions. E.g. If you turn on your microwave, your television shouldn't display interference if both items are CE marked to the EMC directive.

If emitted RF energy is not kept low, it can interfere with other electrical circuitry - E.g. Cars Automatic Braking Systems have been known to activate by themselves while in a strong RF field. As this has obvious repercussions ALL electrical products likely to cause RF related problems have to be 'CE' marked from 1st January 1996 onwards.

If a product conforms to the EMC directive, not only should its RF emissions be very low, but its immunity to RF energy (and other types) should be high. The apparatus has to resist many 'real world' phenomena such as static shocks and mains voltage transients.

Viglen’s Environment laboratory

To gain a 'CE' mark, the Viglen computer range has had to undergo many difficult tests to ensure it is Electromagnetically Compatible. These are carried out in the in-house 'Environment lab' at Viglen Headquarters. We have made every effort to guarantee that each computer leaving our factory complies fully with the correct standards. To ensure the computer system maintains compliance throughout its functional life, it is essential you follow these guidelines.

 Install the system according to Viglen’s instructions  If you open up your Viglen:

 Keep internal cabling in place as supplied.  Ensure the lid is tightly secured afterwards  Do not remove drive bay shields unless installing a 'CE' marked peripheral in its place  The clips or ‘bumps' around the lips of the case increase conductivity - do not remove or damage.  Do not remove the ferrite ring from the L.E.D cables.  Only use your Viglen computer with 'CE' marked peripherals

This system has been tested in accordance with European standards for use in residential and light industrial areas-this specifies a 10 meter testing radius for emissions and immunity. If you do experience any adverse affects that you think might be related to your computer, try moving it at least 10 meters away from the affected item. If you still experience problems, contact Viglen’s Technical Support department who will put you straight through to an EMC engineer - s/he will do everything possible to help. If modifications are made to your Viglen computer system, it might breach EMC regulations. Viglen take no responsibility (with regards to EMC characteristics) of equipment that has been tampered with or modified.

Vig410P Motherboard Manual

Motherboard Features

Special Features:

 Recovery from AC Power Loss

BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power- on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the Advanced BIOS Setup section (Boot Features) to change this setting. The default setting is Last State.

PC Health Monitoring:

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the Vig410P. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring via Super Doctor II or III. An onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: Vcore1, Vcore2, 1.5V, 5VDD, 5VSB, 12V, -12V, 3.3Vcc, 3.3VSB, VBAT and Vtt. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

 Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS (under Hardware Monitoring in the Advanced Setting).

 Environment Temperature Control

The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan control to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert users when the chassis temperature is too high.

 System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with Super Doctor III in the Windows OS environment or used with Super Doctor II in Linux. Super Doctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also configure Super Doctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a pre-defined range.

Vig410P Motherboard Manual

ACPI Features:

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives and printers.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Operating Systems.

 Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED and LE1 will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.

 Main Switch Override Mechanism

When an ATX power supply is used, the power button may function as a system suspend button, allowing the system to enter a Soft Off state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Pressing the power button again to "wake-up" the whole system. During the Soft Off state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system "alive." In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. This option can be set in the BIOS Setup utility.

Power Supply:

Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing when the system is in the Standby or Off state. Note that external modem ring-on can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.

The Vig410P can accommodate 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, the two 12V 8-pin power connections are also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply must supply

1.5A for the Ethernet ports. It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX

power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more information, please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in

Vig410P Motherboard Manual

areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

WARNING!

To prevent damage to the power supply or Motherboard, please use a power supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect these connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and the two 8-pin (JPW2, JPW3) power connectors on the Motherboard for adequate power supply to your system. Failure in doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and Motherboard.

Super I/O:

The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives. It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.

The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.

CAUTION!

The Viglen Vig410P Motherboard

and associated components are

sensitive electronic

devices. A small

static shock from your body can

cause expensive damage to your

equipment.

Vig410P Motherboard Manual

Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a qualified engineer can perform the upgrade.

STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:

1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your local

electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static charge will be harmlessly bled to ground.

2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you are

about to install it.

3. Hold boards by the edges – try not to touch components / interface strips etc.

Note: We recommend that you return your computer to the service department for

upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only be carried out by persons who are familiar with handling IC’s, as incorrect installation will invalidate the guarantee.

Vig410P Motherboard Manual

Overview of Jumper Settings

The Vig410P Motherboard contains the latest technology to offer an almost jumper less configuration. All Xeon CPU’s are automatically detected and the Speed is automatically set from the information provided by the CPU.

CAUTION!!

1. Never remove jumpers using large pliers as this can damage the pins. The best way to remove a jumper is to use a small pair of tweezers or fine needlenosed pliers.

2. Do not move the jumper with the power on. Always turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the computer before changing a jumper, taking all necessary anti static precautions

System Board Jumper Settings

The following figure shows the jumper locations of the Motherboard. Please refer to the following tables describing each jumper’s configuration.

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the Motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board.

Note: On two pin jumpers, “Closed” means the jumper is on and “Open” means the

jumper is off the pins.

Figure 4: Explanation of jumpers

Vig410P Motherboard Manual

Motherboard Jumper Settings

Clear CMOS (JBT1)

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins this “jumper” consists of contact pads to prevent the accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection. Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.

Note: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the system, remove

the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

GLAN Enable/Disable Jumper (JPL1/JPL2)

JPL1/JPL2 enables or disables the GLAN Port1/GLAN Port2 on the Motherboard. The default setting is Enabled.
