It is also equipped with a switching voltage regulator that automatically detects 1.30V to 3.5V.
Introduction 1 Expansion Slots The system board is equipped with 1 universal AGP slot. AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending. The universal AGP slot supports AGP 2x with up to 533MB/sec. bandwidth and AGP 4x with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics applications. AGP in this system board will deliver faster and better graphics to your PC.
1 Introduction Connectors One connector for IrDA interface Two IDE connectors One floppy drive interface supports up to two 2.
Introduction 1 Desktop Management Interface (DMI) The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information about your system configuration and stores these information in the DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of computer systems easier.
1 Introduction Dual Function Power Button Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By PWR-BTTN field of the Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system to enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode. Wake-On-Ring This feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming through an internal or external modem. Refer to Wake-On-Ring Connector in chapter 2 for more information.
Introduction 1 battery. Wait for a few seconds and install it back before powering-on the system. The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support a minimum of 1.5A. AC Power Failure Recovery When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system manually, let the system power-on automatically or return to the state where you left off before power failure occurs.

Hardware Installation 2 Chapter 2 - Hardware Installation 2.
2 Hardware Installation Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis.
Hardware Installation 2 2.2.1 Determining the Memory Size of a RIMMTM Module The memory size of a RIMMTM module will depend on the memory size of a device and the number of devices used; and the memory size of a device will depend on the RDRAM technology used.
2 Hardware Installation Rule 2. Regardless of the number of RIMM TM modules used, the total number of devices must not exceed 32 devices. Rule 3. Due to RDRAMs signal routing, all SRIMM sockets must be populated with modules. This is to allow the Direct Rambus Channel to function properly. If a socket is not populated with RIMMTM module, YOU MUST install it with CRIMM (continuity module).
Hardware Installation 2 The figure below shows a clearer illustration of the RDRAM signal routing principle. Direct Rambus ASIC Cell (RAC) Master Device Rambus Channel Rambus DRAM SPD ROM RIMM Module RIMM Connector Direct Rambus Clock Generator (DRCG) The CRIMM module included in the system board package looks similar to the one shown below.. 2.2.4 Installing the RIMMTM Module A RIMM module simply snaps into a RIMM socket on the system board.
2 Hardware Installation 1. Pull the tabs which are at the ends of the socket to the side. 2. Position the RIMM above the socket with the notches in the module aligned with the keys on the socket. 3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is completely seated. The tabs will hold the RIMM in place. 2.3 Processor Installation The system board is equipped with a 242-pin processor slot (Slot 1). The ends of the slot are installed with the Universal Retention Mechanism (URM).
Hardware Installation 2 2. SECC processor: Position the SECC processor above Slot 1 with the notch in the processor aligned with the key on the slot. Push the processor down firmly, with even pressure on both sides of the top, until it is completely seated. Push the latches located on the top sides of the processor outward until they click into place in the URM.
2 Hardware Installation SECC2 or SEPP processor: Push the slide of the URM downward until it clicks into its OPEN position. Lift one end of the processor until it is freed from Slot 1. Lift the other end of the processor until it is freed from Slot 1. Lift the entire processor until it is free from the URM.

C Troubleshooting Appendix C - Troubleshooting C.1 Troubleshooting Checklist This chapter of the manual is designed to help you with problems that you may encounter with your personal computer. To efficiently troubleshoot your system, treat each problem individually. This is to ensure an accurate diagnosis of the problem in case a problem has multiple causes. Some of the most common things to check when you encounter problems while using your system are listed below. 1.
Troubleshooting C The picture seems to be constantly moving. 1. The monitor has lost its vertical sync. Adjust the monitors ver tical sync. 2. Move away any objects, such as another monitor or fan, that may be creating a magnetic field around the display. 3. Make sure your video cards output frequencies are supported by this monitor. The screen seems to be constantly wavering. 1. If the monitor is close to another monitor, the adjacent monitor may need to be turned off.
C Troubleshooting Hard Drive Hard disk failure. 1. Make sure the correct drive type for the hard disk drive has been entered in the BIOS. 2. If the system is configured with two hard drives, make sure the bootable (first) hard drive is configured as Master and the second hard drive is configured as Slave. The master hard drive must have an active/bootable partition. Excessively long formatting period. 1.
Troubleshooting C Serial Port The serial device (modem, printer) doesnt output anything or is outputting garbled characters. 1. Make sure that the serial devices power is turned on and that the device is on-line. 2. Verify that the device is plugged into the correct serial port on the rear of the computer. 3. Verify that the attached serial device works by attaching it to a serial port that is working and configured correctly.
