Be sure to read all the safety precautions before you begin the installation proce- dure. SBC-776 Chapter 2 9 CHAPTER SBC-776 Safety precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis. Removing the CPU The SBC-776 all-in-one CPU module supports most Pentium III/ Celeron or 586 CPUs. The system's performance depends on the CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below. If your system has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing the new CPU. Removing a CPU 1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis by following the instructions in the user's manual for your chassis. 2. Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be difficult to remove. You may find spray chip lubricant, designed for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful. These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores. 10 SBC-776 ManualBC-599/596 Installing A CPU To install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing a CPU are outlined below: 1. Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices. This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces the chance of damaging the pins and other components. 2. Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket. Make sure that the notch on the corner of the CPU matches the notch on the inside of the socket. 3. Gently push the CPU into the socket. There will probably be a small gap between the CPU and the socket even when it is fully seated. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE! When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other settings on the board, such as CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI speed, to accommodate it. Make sure that the settings are correct for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU. SBC-776 Chapter 2 11 SBC-776 Installing DRAM (DIMMs) System Memory The SBC-776 contains three sockets for 168-pin dual inline memory module (DIMM). The socket uses 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous DRAM (SDRAM). DIMM is available in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 MB. The socket can be filled in the DIMM of any size, giving your SBC-776 single board computer between 16 and 512 MB of memory. Supplementary information about DIMM SBC-776 can accept PC-133 SDRAM DIMM Module(with or without parity). Single-sided modules are typically 16 or 64 MB; double-sided modules are usually 32, 128 or 256 MB. Memory Installation Procedures To install DIMM, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles remain outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. (See Figure below) To take away the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket. 12 SBC-776 ManualBC-599/596 Jumpers Jumpers Function JP1 VGA or AGP VGA Select Header JP2 Clear CMOS Selection JP3 Watchdog Function Select JP4 RS-232/422/485 COM 2 Setting JP5 DiskOnChip Address Selection JP6 Function Select JP7 CPU/DIMM Speed Select JP8 LCD Panel's Voltage Setting JP9 RS-232/422/485 COM2 Setting JP10 LCD or VGA Enable Header SBC-776 Chapter 2 13 SBC-776 Connectors Connector Function CN2,3,4 SDRAM Slot CN5 AGP Slot CN6 VGA Connector CN7 Primary IDE Connector CN8 Compact Flash CN9,10 USB Dual Port Header CN11 Audio Connector CN12 Floppy Drive Connector CN13 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector CN14 Parallel Port Connector CN15 COM 1 Serial Port CN16 COM 2 Serial Port CN20,22 LAN RJ-45 Connector CN21 SCSI Connector CN23 ATX Power Supply CN24 Speaker/Buzzer CN25 System FAN 1 Connector CN26 CPU Fan Connector CN27 System FAN 2 Connector CN28 LCD Backlight Power Connector CN29 TFT LCD Panel Connector CN31 PS/2 Keyboard Header CN32 PS/2 Mouse Header 14 SBC-776 ManualBC-599/596 CN23 JP6 CN25 CN27 CN15 CN34 CN14 CN16 CN6 CN20 CN22 CN13 CN31 CN26 Locating Jumpers and Connectors CN24 JP7 CN2 CN3 CN4 JP10 CN7 CN5 JP1 CN12 JP2 JP8 CN28 CN29 CN9 CN30 CN10 JP5 CN33 JP9 JP3 JP4 CN21 CN11 CN32 SBC-776 Chapter 2 15 Win bond W 83977F-A SBC-776 Locating Jumpers and Connectors CN8 16 SBC-776 ManualBC-599/596 Mechanical Drawing SBC-776 Chapter 2 17 Win bond W 83977F-A SBC-776 Mechanical Drawing 18 SBC-776 ManualBC-599/596 VGA or AGP VGA Header Select (JP 1) Select AGP VGA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Select on board VGA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Clear CMOS (JP2) You can use JP2 to clear the CMOS data if necessary.

The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST). When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating system on one of the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands control of system operations to it. During POST, you can start the Setup program in one of two ways: 1.By pressing Del immediately after switching the system on, or 2.By pressing Del or pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during POST: TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS DEL KEY If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the RESET button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing Ctr-Alt-Del. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message appears and you are again asked to PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 43 Setup keys These keys helps you navigate in Award BIOS: Up arrow Move to previous item Down arrow Move to next item Left arrow Move to the item in the left hand Right arrow Move to the item in the right hand Esc Main Menu: Quit and not save changes into CMOS RAM Other pages: Exit current page and return to Main Menu PgUP/+ Increase the numeric value or make changes PgDn/- Decrease the numeric value or make changes F1 General help, only for Status Page Setup Menu and Option Page Setup Menu F2 Item Help F3 Reserved F4 Reserved F5 Restore the previous CMOS value from CMOS, only for Option Page Setup Menu F6 Load the default CMOS RAM value from BIOS default table, only for Option Page Setup Menu F7 Load the default F8 Reserved F9 Reserved F10 Save all the CMOS changes, only for Main Menu 44 SBC-776 User Manual Getting help Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appro- priate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press Esc or the F1 key again. In Case of Problems If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default configuration. You can invoke this override by immediately pressing Insert; when you restart your computer. You can restart by either using the ON/ OFF switch, the RESET button or by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete. The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset screen without a good reason. The Chipset defaults have been carefully chosen by Award Software or your system manufacturer for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup may cause the system to become unstable.

Online help for each field can be accessed by pressing F1. Date and Time Configuration The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date information. This field is for information only. Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field (date, month, year). Press the PgUp/- or PgDn/+ key to increment the setting, or type the desired value into the field. The time format is based on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00 hours. Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field. Press the PgUp/- or PgDn/+ key to increment the setting, or type the desired value into the field. HARD DISKS The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives. NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives. 48 SBC-776 User Manual The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type are available: 1.Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45. 2.Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field. 3.Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup. Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications: Type: The BIOS contains a table of predefined drive types. Each defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads, write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors. Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any predefined type are classified as type USER. Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking program. Cyls: Number of cylinders Head: Number of heads Precomp: Write precompensation cylinder Landz: Landing zone Sector: Number of sectors Mode: Auto, Normal, Large, or LBA - Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode. - Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors supported are 1024, 16, and 63. - Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024 cylinders. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 49 - LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, the IDE controller transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders. Drive A Drive B Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed in the computer. None No diskette drive installed 360K, 5.25 in 5-1/4 inch PC-type standard drive; 360 kilobyte capacity 1.2M, 5.25 in 5-1/4 inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2 megabyte capacity 720K, 3.5 in 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive; 720 kilobyte capacity 1.44M, 3.5 in 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive; 1.44 mega byte capacity 2.88M, 3.5 in 3-1/2 inch double-sided drive; 2.88 mega byte capacity Video Select the type of primary video subsystem in your computer. The BIOS usually detects the correct video type automatically. The BIOS supports a secondary video subsystem, but you do not select it in Setup. EGA/VGA Enhanced Graphics Adapter/Video Graphics Array. For EGA, VGA, SEGA, SVGA, or PGA monitor adapters. CGA 40 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 40 column mode CGA 80 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 80 column mode MONO Monochromoe adapter, includes high resolution monochrome adapters 50 SBC-776 User Manual Halt On During the power-on-self-test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware error. You can tell the BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process. These are the selections: No errors: POST does not stop for any errors. All errors If: the BIOS detects any nonfatal error, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action. All, But Keyboard: POST does not stop for a keyboard error, but stops for all other errors All, But Diskette: POST does not stop for diskette drive errors, but stops for all other errors. All, But Disk/Key: POST does not stop for a keyboard or disk error, but stops for all other errors. Memory You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only for your information. The fields show the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory. RAM is counted in kilobytes (KB: approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes (MB: approximately one million bytes). RAM is the computer's working memory, where the computer stores programs and data currently being used, so they are accessi- ble to the CPU. Modern personal computers may contain up to 64 MB, 128 MB, or more. Base Memory Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS operating system and conventional applications use this area. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 51 Extended Memory Above the 1-MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could not use memory above 1 MB, but current PCs and their software can use extended memory. Other Memory Between 640 KB and 1 MB; often called High memory. DOS may load, terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs, such as device drivers, in this area, to free as much conventional memory as possible for applications. Lines in your CONFIG.SYS file that start with LOADHIGH, load programs into high memory. 52 SBC-776 User Manual Advanced BIOS Features The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. Virus Warning When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an anti- virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive. NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first disable the virus warning. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 53 CPU Internal Cache/External Cache Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not have external cache memory. CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking When you select Enabled, memory checking is enable when the external cache contains ECC SRAMs. Processor Number Feature This option is for Pentium III processor. During Enabled, this will check the CPU Serial number. Disabled this option if you don't want the system to know the serial number. Quick Power On Self Test Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on-self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during your work. First/Second/Third/Fourth Boot Device The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the devices in the sequence selected in these items. The choices: Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD, SCSI, CDROM, Disable. 54 SBC-776 User Manual Swap Floppy Drive This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B. Boot Up Floppy Seek When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time. Boot Up NumLock Status Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations. Gate A20 Option Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1 MB (extended memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20. When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 55 Typematic Rate Setting- Key strokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller. When enabled, the typematic rate and typematic delay can be selected. The choice: Enabled/Disabled Security Option If you have set a password, select whether the password is required every time the System boots, or only when you enter Setup.

Do not reset this field from the default value specified by the system designer. SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle. The choices: 5/7, 7/9 disable. SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. 58 SBC-776 User Manual SDRAM RAS Precharge Time If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain date. Fast gives faster performance; slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. System BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h- FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The choices: Enabled, Disabled Video BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h to C7FFFh, resulting in better video performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The choices: Enabled, Disabled Memory Hole At 15-16m In order to improve performance, certain space in memory is reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory.

For each I/O device the computer provides an I/O address. The more devices attached the more address needed to organize the memory storage areas. If all the I/O devices were run through the same address, your devices would come to a near halt. By providing the end user with four serial ports this allows devices to run more efficiently if needed. Also the corresponding interrupt needs to be selected. Selections of logical COM port addresses are as follows.
