2.3 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
3. Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
5. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

80 Pins104 Pins DDRA1 DDRA2 DDRB1 DDRB2 DDRC1 DDRC2

PR-DLS533 184-Pin DDR DIMM Sockets

A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

The DDR SDRAM technology evolved from the mainstream PC66, PC100, PC133 memory known as Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM. DDR memory however, has the ability to perform two data operations in one clock cycle, thus providing twice the throughput of SDR memory. For example, a 200MHz DDR DIMM will support a 100MHz memory bus, and a 266MHz DDR DIMM will support a 133MHz memory bus.

DDR Data Transfer Rate DDR Base Frequency
266MHz 133MHz
200MHz 100MHz

A DDR DIMM has the same physical dimensions as an SDR DIMM, but it has a 184-pin footprint compared to the 168-pin of the SDR DIMM. Also, a DDR DIMM is single notched while an SDR DIMM is double notched. Therefore, a DDR DIMM is not backward compatible with SDR, and should be installed only in a socket specially designed for DDR DIMMs.

2.5.2 Memory Configurations

The motherboard supports system memory of up to 12GB in a two-way interleaved configuration. As a rule, this configuration requires that you install identical DDR DIMMs (exactly the same type and size) in pairs. For example, if you installed a 512MB module into DDRA1, you must install the same type of 512MB module into DDRA2. The same rule applies to pairs DDRB1/DDRB2 and DDRC1/DDRC2.

The only exception to the above rule allows you to install one DIMM into DDRA1 socket (the socket closest to the ATX power connector). Installing a single DIMM into any other socket would not work.

The following table lists the DIMM socket pairs and the memory modules that you can install.

Memory configuration table

2.6 Expansion slots

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following subsections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.

2.6.1 Installing an expansion card

Follow these steps to install an expansion card.

1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).
3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6. Replace the system cover.

2.6.2 Configuring an expansion card

After installing the expansion card, configure the it by adjusting the software settings.

1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 4 for information on BIOS setup.
2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.
3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support "Share IRQ" or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments.

Otherwise, conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable.

2.6.3 PCI slots

This motherboard implements the PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended) bus technology to support up to 133MHz data transfers, or about 1.06GB/s. This bus technology is primarily designed for servers to increase the performance of high bandwidth devices such as Gigabit Ethernet cards and Ultra320 SCSI interfaces. PCI-X is backward compatible with the earlier PCI bus technology making it possible to install PCI and PCI-X cards at the same time, but the bus speed will be that of the slowest card. The following figure shows the five PCI-X slots and one PCI slot on the motherboard.

PCI-X1 PCI-X2 PCI-X3 PCI-X4 PCI-X5 PCI6

PCI-X slots (PCI X1 to X5)

The motherboard comes with the LSI® 53C1030 SCSI controller. The following table shows the varying bus speeds for the PCI-X slots according to the PCI-X specification 1.0a.

PCI-X SlotOnboardSCSI	PCI-X1 PCI-X4	PCI-X2 to* PCI-X5
53C1030 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X 64-bit/66MHz PCI-X 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X64-bit/100MHz PCI-X64-bit/133MHz PCI-X			Hz PCI-X**

* Plugging in a card into one of the slots allow for 133MHz bus speed. Plugging in two cards reduces the bus speeds to 100MHz for both cards. Plugging in three cards allows for 66MHz for all three cards.

** PCI-X5 supports the LSI MegaRAID 320-0 or Intel SRC ZCR (Zero Channel RAID) card.

PCI slot (PCI6)

PCI6 is a 32-bit/33MHz 5V PCI slot with a Low Pin Count (LPC) signal connector to accommodate the ASUS Server Management Card. This slot has the same specifications regardless of the onboard SCSI controller.

2.7 Switches and jumpers

2.8Connectors

This section describes and illustrates the internal connectors on the motherboard.

Always connect ribbon cables with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the connectors. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk drives.

1. Floppy disk drive connector (34-1 pin FLOPPY)

This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connecting one end to the motherboard, connect the other end to the floppy drive. (Pin 5 is removed to prevent incorrect insertion when using ribbon cables with pin 5 plug).

3. IDE connectors (two 40-1 pin PRI\_IDE/SEC\_IDE)

This connector supports the provided UltraDMA/100/66 IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable's blue connector to the primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the UltraDMA/100/66 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA/100/66 master device. It is recommended that you connect non-UltraDMA/100/66 devices to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS supports specific device bootup. If you have more than two UltraDMA/100/66 devices, purchase another UltraDMA/100/66 cable. You may configure two hard disks to be both master devices with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE connector.

1. Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you connect the cables.
2. The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA/100/66 cable is intentional.

NOTE: Orient the red markings (usually zigzag) on the IDE ribbon cable to PIN 1.

For UltraDMA/100/66 IDE devices, use an 80-conductor IDE cable. The UltraDMA/66 cable included in the motherboard package also supports UltraDMA/100.

4. Chassis alarm lead (4-1 pin CHASSIS)

This lead is for a chassis designed with intrusion detection feature. This requires an external detection mechanism such as a chassis intrusion sensor or microswitch. When you remove any chassis component, the sensor triggers and sends a high-level signal to this lead to record a chassis intrusion event.

By default, the pins labeled “Chassis Signal” and “Ground” are shorted with a jumper cap. If you wish to use the chassis intrusion detection feature, remove the jumper cap from the pins.

SCSI-A 68-Pin Ultra160/ Ultra2-Wide SCSI Connector SCSI-B 68-Pin Ultra160/ Ultra2-Wide SCSI Connector 34 1 68 35 PR-DLS533 Onboard SCSI Connectors

SCSI Connection Notes

This motherboard has two 68-Pin Ultra320 SCSI connectors; one for each of the two channels.

The onboard SCSI chipset incorporates an advanced multimode I/O cell that supports both single-ended (SE), Ultra2, Ultra160, and Ultra320 devices. With Ultra320 devices, the SCSI bus platform performs at full Ultra320 speeds (up to 320MB/s) and extended cabling 12m (or 25m in a point-to-point configuration). When an SE device is attached, the bus defaults to an SE speed and 1.5m cable length.

Connect SCSI devices as shown. Each channel should have only one type of SCSI standard (e.g. Ultra320, Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra-Wide). Mixing SCSI devices on the same channel decreases performance of the slower device.

3.1 Starting up for the first time

1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.
2. Be sure that all switches are off.
3. Connect the power cord to the power connector at the back of the system chassis.
4. Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.
5. Turn on the devices in the following order:

a. Monitor
b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. System power (if you are using an ATX power supply, you need to switch on the power supply as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of the chassis).

1. After applying power, the power LED on the system front panel case lights up. For ATX power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power switch. If your monitor complies with “green” standards or if it has a “power standby” feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and green after the system LED turns on. The system then runs the power-on tests. While the tests are running, the BIOS beeps or additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turned on the power, the system may have failed a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance.

4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS

4.1.1 Creating a bootable disk

AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode. To determine the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS file.

1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk. DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk.
2. Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CD-ROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created.

AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS prompt within Windows, and does not work with certain memory drivers that may be loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot using a floppy disk.

1. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk.

BIOS setup must specify "Floppy" as the first item in the boot sequence.

1. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH to run AFLASH.

5.7 SCO UnixWare Server

5.7.1 LSI ^® SCSI Driver Installation

A. Building the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT™ mpt Driver HBA Diskette

This is the guide to create an HBA driver diskette for the Caldera UnixWare 7 and Open Unix 8 Operating Systems. Both of these operating systems will hereafter be referred to as “UnixWare.”

To create an mpt HBA diskette for use with UnixWare, you must copy the raw dd image file onto a 1.44 Mbyte diskette. The process for doing this depends upon what operating system you are using to create the diskette.

Locate the SCSI files in the following path in the support CD:

\Drivers\SCSI\Fusion-MPT\Unixware\1.03.17

For UNIX System Users

Follow these steps to create the HBA diskette:

1. Insert a 3.5-inch blank diskette into the diskette drive.

At the UNIX prompt, type:

dd if=//uw10317 of=/dev/fd0

The represents the directory where you copied the dd image file.

1. The dd image file is found in the zipped file that you downloaded from the LSI Logic web site.

This command will dd the image to the blank diskette to create an HBA diskette.

After the image has been copied to a 3.5 diskette, use this HBA diskette for UnixWare installations as instructed.

For DOS System Users

1. Use a utility that will copy the raw dd image onto a 1.44 Mbyte diskette. RAWRITE3.COM, which is a public domain utility, is available. Instructions for using this utility are included in its accompanying RAWRITE3.DOC file.

2. The dd image is located in the zipped file you downloaded from the LSI Logic web site.

3. RAWRITE3.COM is included within the zipped file you downloaded from the LSI Logic web site.

After the image has been copied to a 3.5 diskette, use this HBA diskette for UnixWare installations as instructed.

B. New System Installation

1. Boot the computer using the installation diskettes or the installation CDROMs delivered in the UnixWare Operating System media kit.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Insert the mpt driver diskette when prompted to insert a host adapter diskette.

The system loads the required drivers, such as mpt, and indicates when they are loaded. At the end of the installation, you will see a prompt to reinsert the HBA driver diskette.

1. Insert the mpt driver diskette and press Enter.

The kernel builds and the installation terminates.

1. Remove the driver diskette when prompted to do so and reboot the system.

C. Existing System Installation

Before you install the mpt driver, make a backup copy of the existing kernel. The backup and installation procedures follow.

1. Log on as root.
2. At the shell prompt type:

cp /stand/unix /stand/unix.safe

Use this copy of the old kernel to reboot the system if the driver installation fails. Refer to the section titled Troubleshooting for more information.

1. Once the old kernel is saved, insert the mpt UnixWare driver diskette.
2. Load the driver using the pkgadd command by typing:

pkgadd -d diskette1

1. Select the mpt package.

The mpt driver on this diskette is then loaded onto the system.

The system will again prompt you to load a driver even if loading was successful.

1. Type q (quit) and press Enter.

2. Verify that the driver is now loaded successfully by typing:

pkginfo mpt

1. The package information should read:

system mpt LSI Logic IHV HBA

After the mpt package is loaded, a message may appear that indicates a system reboot is necessary.

1. To reboot, type this command:

init 6

During the boot process, the operating system scans the system and lists the devices found. If the kernel panics during boot, reboot the system with the saved copy of the old kernel. Booting from the saved copy of the kernel is described in the next section titled

Troubleshooting. If the reboot is successful, the system is ready to use.
