2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

2.4.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with dual surface mount 604-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets. The sockets are designed for the Intel Processor in the 604-pin package with 512KB L2 cache. The processor includes the Intel® NetBurst™ micro-architecture that features the hyper-pipelined technology, rapid execution engine, 533/400MHz system bus, and execution trace cache. Together, these attributes improve system performance by allowing higher core frequencies, faster execution of integer instructions, and data transfer rate of up to 4.2/3.2GB/s.

2.5 System memory

2.5.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with six Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 12GB system memory using 184-pin registered PC2100/1600 DIMMs with Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC).

PU-DLS 184-Pin DDR DIMM Sockets 104 Pins 80 Pins DDR6 DDR5 DDR4 DDR3 DDR2 DDR1

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/non-interleaved configuration. The interleaved memory configuration requires that you install identical DDR DIMMs (exactly the same type and size) in pairs. The non-interleaved configuration allows you to install DIMMs in DDR1, DDR3, or DDR5 (see DIMM placement table).

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

The system chipset only supports PC2100/1600 registered ECC DIMMs. Make sure to use only the specified DIMM types for stable system operation.

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.

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 Ultra320 SCSI. 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 four PCI-X slots and two PCI slots on the motherboard.

PCI-X4 PCI-X3 PCI-X2 PCI-X1 PCI2 PCI1

PCI-X slots (PCI X1 to X4)

The PCI-X bus speeds vary depending on the number of expansion cards installed on the slots.

7. Clear RTC RAM (J3)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The RAM data in CMOS, that include system setup information such as system passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (default) to pins 1-2. Keep the cap on pins 1-2 for about 5\~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 2-3.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

3. IDE connectors (40-1 pin IDE1, IDE2)

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.

PU-DLS IDE Connectors

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. SSI/ATX power connectors (24/20-pin U21, 8/4-pin U58)

These connectors connect to an SSI/ATX power supply. The plugs from the power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit.

In addition to the 24/20-pin SSI/ATXPWR connector (U21), this motherboard requires that you connect the 8/4-pin SSI12V/ATX12V (U58) power plug to provide sufficient power to the CPU.

Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on the +12V lead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). The minimum recommended wattage is 230W, or 300W for a fully configured system. The system may become unstable and may experience difficulty powering up if the power supply is inadequate.

If you do not connect the 8/4-pin SSI/ATX12V power connector, the system cannot boot up.

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 multi-mode 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.

Chapter summary

3.1 Starting up for the first time.... 3-1
3.2 Powering off the computer 3-2

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 firmware hub (FWH) 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.

4.2 BIOS Setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware hub (FWH) that you can update using the provided utility described in section "4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS."

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to "Run Setup". This section explains how to configure your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you may want to change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you may want to enable the security password feature or make changes to the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the FWH.

The FWH on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system allows you to run this program using either one of the following methods:

• Press Delete during the Power-On Self Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility. If you don't press Delete, POST continues with its test routines, then enter the operating system.
• Press F6 once then press Delete during POST to enter Setup faster.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing the key combination Ctrl-Alt-Delete, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections among the predetermined choices.

1. Installation of the Intel 82544GC/82540EM Network Adapter for NetWare 4.2 or 5.x/6.0 is complete.

Add or check the load and bind statements you need to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file so the PRO/1000 adapter driver loads automatically load and bind the server driver as follows:

LOAD CE100B SLOT=x FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2

BIND IPX TO CE100B NET=xxxxxxxxx

where: SLOT=x Specifies the NBI (NetWare Bus Interface) slot number. Substitute x with the valid value for the adapter. You will be prompted with the slot number(s) of installed PRO/100+ adapters. The NBI numbers are different from the slot number indicated in the SETUP.EXE utility.

NET=xxxxxxx is the unique network address for that LAN segment. The default frame type is 802.2. If your workstation needs to use the 802.3 frame type, see the section later in this document about using multiple frame types on one adapter.

You can select the “Super VGA” for the X Server on NetWare 5.x server system. The other NetWare system didn’t support X Server and you didn’t need the VGA driver support.

5.6 SCO Open Server 5.0.6

5.6.1 Intel ^® 82544GC/82540EM LAN Driver Installation

SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 system can correctly recognize Intel 82544GC/82540EM LAN controller during installation. You do not need to load or modify the network driver for the onboard LAN device.

User also can find the Intel 82544GC/82540EM Network driver from the support CD at:

\Drivers\Lan\openunix\

A. Installing the eeE Driver for SCO OpenServer

1. Copy the eee.vol file to any directory, say /tmp, on the SCO system, renaming the file as VOL.000.000. Also, make the file read-only by using 'chmod'.

For example,

# cp eeE.vol /tmp/VOL.000.000

# chmod 444 /tmp/VOL.000.000

1. If there is an older version of the driver on the system, you must first remove it. To do this, run 'netconfig'. Remove all instances of the "Intel ..." adapters. Exit netconfig without opting to relink the kernel.

2. Install the new driver using 'custom'. When asked for the installation media, choose 'media images', and type the directory path to the VOL.000.000 file. (In step 1, if you copied it to /tmp, type '/tmp'). After the installation of the driver is complete, exit 'custom'.

3. Run 'netconfig' and add the adapters. For each adapter that is present in the system, enter the appropriate TCP/IP parameters. By default, the driver automatically detects the line speed and duplex mode. If you want to force any of these settings, choose 'Advanced Options' and set the speed and duplex modes. Exit'netconfig' and choose to relink the kernel.

4. Reboot the system. At the command prompt, type:

# reboot (or init 6)

5.7.2 Intel ^® 82544GC/82540EM LAN Driver Installation

This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel PRO/1000 Family of Adapters, version 4.1.x. This driver is intended for 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels; it is known to build properly on 2.2.x kernels through 2.2.20 and on 2.4.x kernels through 2.4.17. Intel focused testing on Intel processor-based systems running kernels 2.4.7 and 2.2.16. This driver includes support for Itaniumô-based systems.

The Intel PRO/1000 driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not supplying patches against the kernel source† to allow for static linking of the driver. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with Linux.

New features include support for the Intel PRO/1000 desktop adapter.

A. Updating Driver on an Existing System Installation

To build a binary RPM* package of this driver, run

'rpm -tb '

Replace with the specific file name of the driver.

1. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice. For example, use:

'/home/username/e1000' or '/usr/local/src/e1000'

For the build to work properly, the currently running kernel MUST match the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources. If you have just recompiled the kernel reboot the system now.
