Chapter 3 Capability Expanding
This chapter explains how you can expand capability of your CPU board in such aspects as s ystem mem ory
and CPU.
3-1 System Memory
Peak602VL support 2 slots for 168-pin 3.3V Non-registered DIMM modules, providing support for up to
512MB of main memor y using DIMM modules from 8MB to 256MB. The f ollowing is the example to install
the system SDRAM memory module combination.
Note:
1. It is highly recommended to use the PC-100 or PC-133 Specification DIMM module.
2. Due to limitation of Intel 815E chipset, the board can’t support the ECC memory module.
To insert the DIMMs, the modules must be oriented in
the correct way. Notice the notches of the DIMM.
Align these notches as shown in the diagram below.
Gently push the DIMM until the retainers on both
sides of the socket lock the module in place.
To remove a DIMM, push the retainers outwards to
release the module then pull the module out of the
socket.

Peak 602VL User's Guide Rev. B0 Dec. 2000
3-2 Change CPU
To change the CPU, pull the handling bar of the socket upward to the other end to loosen the socket's
openings. Carefully lift the existing CPU up to remove it from the socket.
Removing CPU
Place the new CPU on the middle of the sock et, orienting its beveled corner to line up with the sock et's
beveled corner. Make sure the pins of the CPU fit evenly to the sock et openings. Replace the handling
bar to fasten the CPU to the socket. Be sure to re-arrange the jumper s etting for the correct external
clock.

Advanced Chipset Features Setup Menu
Since the features in this section are related to the chipset in the CPU board and all are optimized, you are
not recommended to change the default settings in the setup table, unless you know very detailed of the
chipset features.
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset.
This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the
external cache. It als o coordinates com munications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus.
It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been
chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might
consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random ac c ess memory (DRAM). The default
timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario
might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be
required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.
SDRAM CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM
timing.
The Choice: 2, 3
SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.

Peak 602VL User's Guide Rev. B0Dec. 2000

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This field let’s you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is
written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable
performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refres h,
the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM m ay fail to retain data. Fast gives f aster perform ance; and
Slow gives more stable perfor mance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the
system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system
performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

The Watch Dog Timer (WDT) is the special hardware device. The WDT function is to monitor the
computer system whether work normally, otherwise, it will have some measures to fix up the system.
It contains a receivable SQW signal from RTC, and could set time and can clear the counter f unction.
When time is up, WDT can send Reset or NMI signal.
Operator has to write a value into WDT Configuration Register (Write the control value to the Configuration
Port), and clear WDT counter (read the Configuration Port).

Watch Dog Timer Programming Procedure
•••• Power on or reset the system
The initial value of W DT Control Register ( D4~D0) is zero, when power is on or reset the system. The
following means the initial value of WDT ( 00000000b ) :
Bit Value Mean
4 0 Select Reset
3 0 Disable Watch Dog Timer
2, 1, 0 0 0 0 Select 64 second
•••• Initialize the SQW of RTC (set SQW output period=0.5 second)
To initialize the SQW of RTC Component is to s et the SQW s ignal which is output period=0.5 second.
It offers the basic frequency of the WDT counter.
The following is an example of initializing the SQW signal program in Intel 8086 assembly language.

•••• Clear the WDT
Repeatedly read WDT Configuration Port and the interval cannot be longer than the preset time,
otherwise, the WDT will generate NMI or Reset signal for the system.
The following is an example of clear the WDT program in Intel 8086 assembly language.

Note: Before running W DT, you must clear the W DT. It means to m ake sure the initial value is zero
before enabling the WDT.
•••• WDT Control Register (Write to WDT configuration port)
You can set the WDT Control Register to control the WDT working mode.
The initial value of the WDT Control Register is as the following.
; (Setting the WDT Contro

You must plan the option of following:
1. Select NMI or Reset: decide D4 value in F2h.
i.e. Setting D4 = 0, then it select Reset
2. Select the time-out intervals of WDT (decide the values of D2, D1, D0 in F2h).
Example: D2~D0 = 0, the time-out interval will be 64 sec.

After finishing the above setting, you must be output for the Control Register’s value to the WDT
Configuration Port. Then WDT will start according to the above setting.

You should build in a mechanism in the program to continue to read the WDT Configuration Port for
clearing WDT before the time out.
