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.

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 Vig430P. 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.
Vig430P 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 wakeup 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 Vig430P 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 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.
Vig430P Motherboard Manual
11
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 Vig430P Motherboard
and associated components are
sensitive electronic devices. A small
static shock from your body can
cause expensive damage to your
equipment.
Vig430P Motherboard Manual
19
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.

Overview of Jumper Settings
The Vig430P 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 needle-nosed 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.

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.
A. GLAN Port 1 Enable
B. GLAN Port 2 Enable
