Hardware Setup Hardware Setup 2 This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static electricity may damage the components. TOPICS Central Processing Unit: CPU Memory Power Supply Back Panel Connectors Jumpers Slots 2-2 2-5 2-7 2-8 2-13 2-21 2-23 2-1 Chapter 2 Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard supports AMD® AthlonTM, AthlonTM XP and DuronTM processors in the 462 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. CPU Installation Procedures 1. Pull the lever sideways away Open Lever from the socket. Then, raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. Sliding Plate 2. Look for the cut edge. The cut edge should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU will only fit in the correct orientation. Cut edge 3. Hold the CPU down firmly, and Close Lever then close the lever to complete the installation. WARNING! Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. 2-2 Hardware Setup WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements. AMD AthlonTM/DuronTM/AthlonTM XP processor with a speed of 600MHz and above requires LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation. If you want to get more information on the proper cooling, you can visit AMD's website for reference. 2-3 Chapter 2 CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure If CPU Clock Core/Bus ratio then CPU core speed = = = = = 100MHz 7 Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio 100MHz x 7 700MHz CPU Clock Selection To make a 100MHz CPU run at 100MHz or a 133MHz CPU run at 133MHz, you need to adjust the CPU clock frequency through the jumper JFSB1. For more information on the issue, refer to CPU Clock Selection Jumper: JFSB1 later in this chapter. Overclocking This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications. WARNING! 2-4 Hardware Setup Memory The mainboard provides 2 sockets for 168-pin unbuffered SDRAM DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 1 GB. The socket supports 256MB technology. DIMM Slots (DIMM 1~2) Introduction to SDRAM Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) is a type of dynamic RAM memory chip that has been widely used starting in the latter part of the 1990s. SDRAMs are based on standard dynamic RAM chips, but have sophisticated features that make them considerably faster. First, SDRAM chips are fast enough to be synchronized with the CPU's clock, which eliminates wait states. Second, the SDRAM chip is divided into two cell blocks, and data is interleaved between the two so that while a bit in one block is being accessed, the bit in the other is being prepared for access. This allows SDRAM to burst the second and subsequent, contiguous characters at a rate of 10ns, compared to 60ns for the first character. SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz. 2-5 Chapter 2 DIMM Module Combination Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Memory modules can be installed on the slots in any order. You can install either single- or doublesided modules to meet your own needs. Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows: Slot DIMM 1 (Bank 0 & 1) DIMM 2 (Bank 2 & 3) Memory Module S/D S/D Total Memory 32MB~512MB 32MB~512MB 32MB~1GB Maximum System Memory Supported S: Single Side D: Double Side Installing DIMM Modules The DIMM slot has 2 Notch Keys "VOLT and DRAM". The module will only fit in the right orientation. 1. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in. DRAM notch VOLT notch 2.

DRAM Timing by SPD Selects whether DRAM timing is controlled by the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) EEPROM on the DRAM module. Setting to Yes enables SDRAM Cycle Length and DRAM Clock automatically to be determined by BIOS based on the configurations on the SPD. Selecting No allows users to configure these fields manually. 3-12 BIOS Setup SDRAM Cycle Length This controls the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. Settings: Auto, 2, 3 (clocks). 2 (clocks) increases the system performance the most while 3 (clocks) provides the most stable performance. Auto allows BIOS to determine the best CAS latency length. DRAM Clock The chipset supports synchronous and asynchronous mode between host clock and DRAM clock frequency. Settings: Auto, 100, 133 (MHz). Auto allows BIOS to determine the best DRAM clock frequency. Memory Hole In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be reserved for ISA peripherals. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below 16MB. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. Settings: Enabled, Disabled. P2C/C2P Concurrency This field enables or disables the PCI to CPU and CPU to PCI concurrency feature, which allows synchronous data transmission from PCI to CPU and vice versa. Selecting Enabled will increase system performance. Fast R-W Turn Around This is used to control the fast read/write turn around feature for DRAM timing. Settings: Enabled, Disabled. Enabled improves system performance while Disabled provides stability. System BIOS Cacheable System BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh is always copied to RAM for faster execution. Selecting Enabled allows the contents of F0000h RAM memory segment to be written to and read from cache memory, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. Settings: Enabled, Disabled. Frame Buffer Size Frame Buffer is the video memory that stores data for video display (frame). This field is used to determine the memory size for Frame Buffer. Larger frame buffer size increases video performance. Settings: 2M, 4M, 8M. 3-13 Chapter 3 AGP Aperture Size (MB) This setting controls just how much system RAM can be allocated to AGP for video purposes. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated to graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. The option allows the selection of an aperture size of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB. OnChip USB Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller and you have USB peripherals. Settings: Enabled, Disabled. USB Keyboard Support Set to Enabled if your need to use a USB keyboard in the operating system that does not support or have any USB driver installed, such as DOS and SCO Unix. OnChip Sound Auto allows the mainboard to detect whether an audio device is used. If the device is detected, the onboard audio controller will be enabled; if not, it is disabled. Disable the controller if you want to use other controller cards to connect an audio device. Settings: Auto, Disabled. OnChipModem Auto allows the mainboard to detect whether a modem is used. If the device is detected, the onboard modem controller will be enabled; if not, it is disabled. Disable the controller if you want to use other controller cards to connect a modem. Settings: Auto, Disabled. CPU to PCI Write Buffer When Enabled, CPU can write up to four words of data into the PCI write buffer before the CPU must wait for PCI bus cycles to finish. When Disabled, the CPU must wait after each write cycle until the PCI bus signals that it is ready to receive more data. PCI Dynamic Bursting When Enabled, every write transaction goes to the write buffer. Then burstable transactions burst on the PCI bus and nonburstable transactions do not. 3-14
