Important notes 

With the mainboard installed you must open the system to access the mainboard. How to dismantle 

and reassemble the system is described in the operating manual accompanying the system. 

Connecting cables for peripherals must be adequately shielded to avoid interference. 

Observe the safety notes in the operating manual of your system. 

! Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion. It is therefore 

essential to observe the instructions in the "Add-on modules / Upgrading" - "Replacing 

lithium battery" section. 

Components can become very hot during operation. Ensure you do not touch 

components when making extensions to the mainboard. There is a danger of burns! 

i 

The shipped version of this board complies with the requirements of the EEC directive 

89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility". 

Compliance was tested in a typical PC configuration. 

The warranty is invalidated if the system is damaged during the installation or 

replacement of expansions. Information on which expansions you can use is available 

from your sales outlet or the customer service centre. 

Information about mainboards 

To prevent damage to the mainboard, the components and conductors on it, please take great care 

when you insert or remove boards. Take great care to ensure that extension boards are slotted in 

straight, without damaging components or conductors on the mainboard, or any other components, 

for example EMI spring contacts. 

Remove the plug from the mains outlet so that system and mainboard are totally disconnected from 

the mains voltage. 

Be careful with the locking mechanisms (catches, centring pins etc.) when you replace the 

mainboard or components on it, for example memory modules or processors. 

Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage. 

Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the label shown. 

When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all circumstances, 

observe the following: 

• You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a grounded object) 

before working. 

• The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges. 

• Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing 

boards containing ESDs. 

• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges. 

• Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

Mounting heat sink 


Be sure to use heat conducting material between the processor and the heat sink. If a heat 

conducting pad (rubber-like foil) is already applied to the heat sink, then use it. Otherwise you must 

apply a very thin layer of heat conducting paste. 

Heat conducting pads can only be used once. If you remove the heat sink, you must clean it and 

apply new heat conducting paste before you remount it. 

! 

Ê Depending on the configuration variant, 

you must pull a protective foil off the heat 

sink or coat the heat sink with a very thin 

layer of heat conducting paste before 

fitting it. 

Ê Depending on the processor variant, clips 

may also be supplied for mounting the heat 

sink that fix it in place. 

Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. 

Permanent damage will result!

Upgrading AGP screen controllers 

Technical data: 

The AGP slot supports the modes 1x/2x/4x with 32bits and 66MHz. Only 1.5V AGP screen 

controllers are supported. 

i 

Some older 3.3V AGP screen controllers are coded like 1.5V AGP screen controllers. The 

installation of such 3.3 V AGP screen controllers can cause serious damage to the 

mainboard and the AGP screen controller. 

Ê Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before installing the expansion card 

into the computer. 

Ê Remove your computer’s chassis cover, necessary screws and slot bracket from the computer. 

Ê Press the expansion card firmly into the expansion slot. 

Ê Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot. 

Ê Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card. 

Ê Replace your computer’s chassis cover. 

Ê Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS. 

Ê Install related driver from the operating system. 

! 

Please carefully pull out the small whitedrawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when you 

try to install/ uninstall the AGP card. Please align the AGP card to the onboard AGP slot 

and press firmly down on the slot. Make sure your AGP card is locked by the small 

whitedrawable bar. 


Adding PCI cards 

Technical data: 

32 bit / 33 MHz PCI slots 

5 V and 3.3 V supply voltage 

3.3 V auxiliary voltage 

PCI bus interrupts - Selecting correct PCI slot 

i 


To achieve optimum stability, performance and compatibility, avoid the multiple use of ISA 

IRQs or PCI IRQ Lines (IRQ sharing). Should IRQ sharing be unavoidable, then all 

involved devices and their drivers must support IRQ sharing. 

PCI IRQ Lines connect AGP slots, PCI slots and onboard components to the interrupt controller. 

PCI IRQ Lines are permanently wired on the mainboard. 

Which ISA IRQs are assigned to the PCI IRQ Lines is normally automatically specified by the BIOS 

(see description in "BIOS Setup"). 

Monofunctional expansions cards: 

Standard AGP and PCI expansion cards require a maximum of one interrupt, which is called the PCI 

interrupt INT A. Expansion cards that do not require an interrupt can be installed in any desired slot. 

Multifunctional expansion cards or expansion cards with integrated PCI-PCI bridge: 

These expansion cards require up to four PCI interrupts: INT A, INT B, INT C, INT D. How many 

and which of these interrupts are used is specified in the documentation provided with the card. 

The assignment of the PCI interrupts to the PCI IRQ Lines is shown in the following table: 

PCI INT LINE USB 2.0 LAN (optional) AC97 Audio AGP PCI slot 

#1 #2 #3 

1 (A) - - - A D C B 

2 (B) - - B A D C 

3 (C) - A A - B A D 

4 (D) A - - - C B A 

Use the first PCI slots that have a single PCI IRQ Line (no IRQ sharing). If you must use another 

PCI slot with IRQ sharing, check whether the expansion card properly supports IRQ sharing with the 

other devices on this PCI IRQ Line. The drivers of all cards and components on this PCI IRQ Line 

must also support IRQ sharing. 



Replacing lithium battery 

In order to permanently save the system information, a lithium battery is installed to provide the 

CMOS-memory with a current. A corresponding error message notifies the user when the charge is 

too low or the battery is empty. The lithium battery must then be replaced. 

Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion! 

! The lithium battery may be replaced only with an identical battery or with a type 

recommended by the manufacturer. 

Do not throw lithium batteries into the household waste. They must be disposed of in 

accordance with local regulations concerning special waste. 

Make sure that you insert the battery the right way round. The plus pole must be on the 

top! 

The lithium battery holder exists in different designs that function in the same way.

BIOS Setup 

The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has been installed in the 

computer. There are two types: auto type, and manual type. 

Manual: type is user-definable; 

Auto: will automatically detect HDD type. 

Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work 

properly if you enter improper information for this category. 

If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. 

Ê Enter the information directly from the keyboard and press . 

Such information should be provided in the documentation form your hard disk vendor or the system 

manufacturer. 

Cylinder Number of cylinders 

Head Number of heads 

Precomp Write precomp 

Landing Zone Landing zone 

Sector Number of sectors 

Ê If a hard disk has not been installed select NONE and press . 

Floppy Drive A / Drive B 

The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that has been installed in the 

computer. 

Not Installed No floppy drive installed 

1.2MB, 51/4 5.25 inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2M byte capacity 

(3.5 inch when 3 Mode is Enabled). 

720KB, 31/2 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 720K byte capacity 

1.44MB, 31/2 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 1.44M byte capacity 

2.88MB, 31/2 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 2.88M byte capacity 

Virus Protection 

If it is set to enable, a warning will flash on the screen when there is any attempt to write to the boot 

sector or partition table of the hard disk drive. The system will halt and the following error message 

will appear in the mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem. 

Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or 

hard disk partition table. (Default Value) 

Enabled Activate automatically when the system boots up causing a warning message to 

appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table. 


BIOS Setup 

Memory 

The category is display-only and is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS. 

Base 

Memory 

Other 

Memory 

Extended 

Memory 

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory 

installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K for systems 

with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640 K or 

more memory installed on the motherboard. 

This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is 

memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load 

device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most use 

for this area is Shadow RAM. 

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This 

is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.
