Chapter 1 Introduction
Welcome to the PEAK 650 the most powerful Intel 815E based single board computer.
NEXCOM’s PEAK 650 series combines the high performance and exceptional value of Intel Celeron /
Pentium III CPU and 815E chipset with a full-featured, new generation, full-size single board computer. The
Intel 815E chipset, which combining internal graphics, LAN, and support for 4 USB ports, Ultra DMA66/100
IDE interface, that meets the performance, stability and reliability requirements. Moreover, In order to meet
the network requirement, the PEAK 650 series add one more Ethernet Controller Intel 82559 to support dual
channel Ethernet.
For the Display solution, not only the Intel 82815 (GMCH) chipset integrated Graphics controller, PEAK 650
series also provide On Board Optional ATI Rage Mobility M4 3D VGA accelerator with on die 8MB or 16MB
memory to support 4X AGP, which is compatible with DVI specification to support LCD panel.
The Intel 82815 (GMCH) chipset integrated Graphics with Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology , the
D.V.M.T. employs direct AGP and intelligent arbitration to dynamically allocate and de-allocate memory for
textures for applications requiring additional texture memory. The operating system requires allocation of up
to 1MB of system memory to support legacy VGA. System properties will display up to 1MB less than
physical system memory available to the operating system. The graphics driver for the Intel 815 configuration
will request up to 4MB of memory from the OS to implement a maximum 1024x768 screen resolution, 2MB
for a command buffer and 4MB used for Z-buffering. For high-end 3D applications, the drivers request
allocation of system memory from the O/S for AGP graphics textures. When the 3D application is closed, the
O/S will re-allocate system memory back for generic use.
With the on board NEXCOM proprietary PCI Interface, the optional EBK SCSI 2 module design with Adaptec
AIC-7890 Ultra 2 SCSI controller, and the module EBK SCSI 160D design with Adaptec AIC 7899 Dual Ultra
160 SCSI controller, giving the PEAK 650A a unique feature as a full function single board computer,
The board is suitable and valuable for all the embedded applications, which also well support with the
Windows 2000, Windows NT and Linux Operation system.

Chapter 3 Capability Expanding
This chapter explains how you can expand capability of your CPU board in such aspects as system memory
and CPU.
3-1 System Memory
Peak650 support 2 slots for 168-pin 3.3V Non-registered DIMM modules, providing support for up to 512MB
of main memory using DIMM modules from 8MB to 256MB. The following is the example to install the
system SDRAM memory module combination.
Note:
1. It is highly recommended to use the PC-100 or PC-133 Specification DIMM module.
2. Due to limitation of Intel 815E chipset, the board can support the ECC memory module.
Module Size
Q y of Module DIMM1 DIMM2 Max. Size
1 1 st 8~256 MB 256 MB
2 1 st 2 nd 8~256 MB 512 MB
To insert the DIMMs, the modules must be oriented in
the correct way. Notice the notches of the DIMM.
Align these notches as shown in the diagram below.
Gently push the DIMM until the retainers on both
sides of the socket lock the module in place.
To remove a DIMM, push the retainers outwards to
release the module then pull the module out of the
socket.

Peak 650 User's Guide Rev. A October 2000
3-2 Change CPU
To change the CPU, pull the handling bar of the socket upward to the other end to loosen the socket's
openings. Carefully lift the existing CPU up to remove it from the socket.
Removing CPU
Place the new CPU on the middle of the socket, orienting its beveled corner to line up with the socket's
beveled corner. Make sure the pins of the CPU fit evenly to the socket openings. Replace the handling
bar to fasten the CPU to the socket. Be sure to re-arrange the jumper setting for the correct external
clock.

Advanced Chipset Features Setup Menu
Since the features in this section are related to the chipset in the CPU board and all are optimized, you are
not recommended to change the default settings in the setup table, unless you know very detailed of the
chipset features.
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset.
This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the
external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus.
It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been
chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might
consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The default
timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario
might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be
required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.
SDRAM CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM
timing.
The Choice: 2, 3

SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.
The Choice: 5/7, 7/9.
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This field let 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; and Slow gives more stable
performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
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 data. Fast gives faster performance; and
Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the
system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
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 choice: Enabled, Disabled.

Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better system performance. However, if
any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

Watch Dog Timer Working Procedure
The Watch Dog Timer (WDT) is the special hardware device. The WDT function is to monitor the
computer system whether work normally, otherwise, it will have some measures to fix up the system.
It contains a receivable SQW signal from RTC, and could set time and can clear the counter function.
When time is up, WDT can send Reset or NMI signal.
Operator has to write a value into WDT Configuration Register (Write the control value to the Configuration
Port), and clear WDT counter (read the Configuration Port).

To initialize the SQW of RTC Component is to set the SQW signal which is output period=0.5 second.
It offers the basic frequency of the WDT counter.
