1 Introduction Features DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conventional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
Introduction 1 The Intel ICH9R chip on the LP DK P35-T2R and LP DK P35-T2RS system boards allow configuring RAID on Serial ATA devices. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5. The Marvell 88E8053 PCI Express Gigabit LAN chip supports up to 1Gbps data rate. The system board supports Intel proceshyper-threading sors with Hyper-Threading Technology. Enatechnology bling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires ALL of the following platforms.
1 Introduction CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring the CPU’s temperature during system boot up. Once the CPU’s temperature exceeded the temperature limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system will automatically shutdown. This preventive measure has been added to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environment. CPU Overheat Protection The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wireless connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices.
Introduction 1 This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt. Wake-On-LAN Important: The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.
1 Introduction The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.
Hardware Installation 2 Chapter 2 - Hardware Installation System Board Layout The layout shown above is the LP DK P35-T2R/T2RS system board which supports 6 SATA ports. On the LP DK P35-T2 board, it only supports 4 SATA ports (SATA 0/1/4/5).
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 The system board supports the following memory interface. Single Channel (SC) Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels. Virtual Single Channel (VSC) If both channels are populated with different memory configurations, the MCH defaults to Virtual Single Channel. Dual Channel (DC) Dual channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.
2 Hardware Installation The table below lists the various optimal operating modes that should be configured for the memory channel operation.

2 Hardware Installation Installing the Memory Module Note: The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual board. These illustrations are for reference only. 1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered down. 2. Disconnect all power cords and cables. 3. Locate the DIMM socket on the system board. 4. Push the “ejector tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side. Ejector tab Ejector tab DIMM sockets 5.
Hardware Installation 2 6. Grasping the module by its edges, position the module above the socket with the “notch” in the module aligned with the “key” on the socket. The keying mechanism ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in only one way. 7. Seat the module vertically, pressing it down firmly until it is completely seated in the socket. 8. The ejector tabs at the ends of the socket will automatically snap into the locked position to hold the module in place.
2 Hardware Installation CPU Overview The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 775 socket. This socket is exclusively designed for installing a LGA 775 packaged Intel CPU. Important: 1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA775 socket comes with a protective cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s contact pins are not bent. If the cap is missing or the cap and/or contact pins are damaged, contact your dealer immediately immediately.. 2. Make sure to keep the protective cap.
Hardware Installation 4. The CPU socket comes Cover with a cover that is attached with a removable protective cap. The cap is used to protect the CPU socket against dust and harmful particles. Remove the protective cap only when you are about to install the CPU. 5. Lift the protective cap from the location pointed below to detach the cap from the cover. 2 Protective cap Lever Lift this part up 6.
2 Hardware Installation 8. Position the CPU above the socket. The gold mark on the CPU must align with pin 1 of the CPU socket. Important: Handle the CPU by its edges and avoid touching the pins. Pin 1 of the socket Gold mark 9. Insert the CPU into the socket until it is seated in place. The CPU will fit in only one orientation and can easily be inserted without exerting any force. Important: Do not force the CPU into the socket. Forcing the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and damage the CPU.
Hardware Installation 10. Once the CPU is in place, move the cover down. 11. Push the lever down to lock the socket. The lever should hook onto the side tab to indicate that the CPU is completely secured in the socket. 2 Cover Lever Installing the Fan and Heat Sink The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink. Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board. Note: • Use only certified fan and heat sink.
2 Hardware Installation 2. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU. The 4 studs around the heat sink which are used to secure the heat sink onto the system board must match the 4 mounting holes around the socket. Mounting hole Mounting hole PCI 1 Position each stud so that the groove faces the heat sink then push it down firmly until it clicks into place.

Troubleshooting B Appendix B - Troubleshooting 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.
B Troubleshooting The picture seems to be constantly moving. 1. The monitor has lost its vertical sync. Adjust the monitor’s vertical 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 card’s 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.
Troubleshooting B 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.
B Troubleshooting 3. Verify that the attached serial device works by attaching it to a serial port that is working and configured correctly. If the serial device does not work, either the cable or the serial device has a problem. If the serial device works, the problem may be due to the onboard I/O or the address setting. 4. Make sure the COM settings and I/O address are configured correctly. Keyboard Nothing happens when a key on the keyboard was pressed. 1. Make sure the keyboard is properly connected.
