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 Modules Combination You can install memory modules in any combination as follows: DIMM 1 S/D S (Single Side): 32MB ~ 512MB D (Double Side): 64MB ~ 1GB DIMM 2 -S/D D S S D -S D S D Note: As 845 chipset does not properly support the PC100 memory, it is strongly recommended to install PC133 DIMM modules for better system performance and stability. We do not guarantee the system stability when installing PC 100 DIMM modules. Installing DIMM Modules 1. The DIMM slot has 2 Notch Keys "VOLT and DRAM", so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. Front View Rear View 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot.

This section will explain how to change your motherboard's function through the use of jumpers. Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1 There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep the data of system configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system configuration, use the JBAT1 (Clear CMOS Jumper ) to clear data. Follow the instructions below to clear the data: 1 JBAT1 3 3 1 1 keep data clear data WARNING! You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard. 2-26 Hardware Setup Slots The motherboard provides three 32-bit Master PCI Bus Slots, one AGP and one CNR slot. AGP Slot PCI Slots CNR Slot AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot The AGP slot allows you to insert the AGP 1.5V graphics card. AGP is an interface specification designed for the throughput demands of 3D graphics. It introduces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly access main memory and provides three levels of throughputs: 1x (266Mbps), 2x (533Mbps) and 4x (1.07Gbps). PCI Slots Three PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet your needs. When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to make any necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers, switches or BIOS configuration. CNR (Communication Network Riser) Slot The CNR slot allows you to insert the CNR expansion cards. CNR is a specially designed network, audio, or modem riser card for ATX family motherboards. Its main processing is done through software and controlled by the motherboard's chipset. 2-27 Chapter 2 PCI Interrupt Request Routing The IRQ, abbreviation of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The "AGP/PCI/USB/AC'97 codec" IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI bus INTA#-INTH# pins as follows: Order 1 Order 2 Order 3 Order 4 AGP INT A# INT B# PCI Slot 1 INT A# INT B# INT C# INT D# PCI Slot 2 INT B# INT C# INT D# INT A# PCI Slot 3 INT C# INT D# INT A# INT B# USB-1 USB-2 AC97 INT D# INT H# INT B# AGP & PCI Slot 1 shared. PCI Slot 2 & AC97 shared. PCI Slot 1~3: Bus Master 2-28 AWARD® BIOS Setup Chapter 3.
