User manual ZIDA-TOMATO MOTHERBOARD 5STX-J98

[. . . ] Handling Precautions CAUTION High potential static charge may cause damage to the integrated circuits on the board. Before handling the mainboard outside of its protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge in your body. Danger of explosion with incorrectly replaced battery: Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. There are some basic precautions when handling the mainboard or other computer components: Keep the board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Protect your board from static electricity by well grounding of your body and the equipment during the installation, such as wearing a grounded wrist strap. [. . . ] This integrated I/O chip provides: · · · · · [K] Plug-and-Play compatible. Supports two 360K, 720K, 1. 2M, 1. 44, 2. 88M floppy disk drives One multi-mode high performance parallel port which can be BIOS configured as standard (SPP) mode, enhanced (EPP) mode, high speed (ECP) mode. Supports two 16C550 compatible enhanced serial ports. Supports IrDA or ASKIR infra-red interface. WAKEUP-LINK Interface This header is used to connect an add-in NIC (Network Interface Card) which has WOL capability to a motherboard. [L] 3V Lithium Battery An on-board battery holder is used to hold a 3 Volts CR-2032 Lithium battery which makes the battery's replacement more convenient. This battery is used to supply power for the RTC CMOS RAM in order to save your system setting and date/time counting during system power-off. In general, the battery's lifetime is about 5 years. If you see a "BIOS checksum error" message happened while system turn-on, it maybe caused by the battery low. You can try to fix it by simply replaced the battery. [M] SB-LINK Interface This header is a Creative SB-LINKTM interface, which makes its debut with the Sound Blaster® AWE64D PCI sound solutions. SB-LINKTM uses Intel's PC-PCI technology found in Intel TX and newer corelogic chipsets. Page 17 Award BIOS and CMOS Setup Utility [N] [O] TB-LINK Interface Front Panel Connector This headers interface supporting TOMATOTM SCE8/SCV6 Sound Card using the Creative Audio Chip. For you convenience, all the front panel functions are integrated into a single connector, which included power LED and keyboard lock, turbo switch, reset switch, SMI switch and speaker. [P] [Q] ISA Add-in Board Connectors Flash BIOS This motherboard provides three 16 bit ISA slots which allows backward hardware compatibility. The flash BIOS allows user have more flexibility to upgrade their motherboard. The flash BIOS can be programmed by software easily. For the latest BIOS upgrade information, please feel free to visit our web site: http://www. zida. com. [R] Voltage Regulator The voltage regulator combines switching regulator and low dropout linear regulator in single chip which provides high efficiency voltage sources to the motherboard. [S] · · · Intel 82430TX PCIset PCI ISA IDE Xecelerator (PIIX4) Interface between the PCI local bus and ISA bus. Supports for 2 Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports. Integrated IDE controller supports two IDE connectors for up to four IDE devices providing an interface for IDE hard disks and CD ROMs. Up to four IDE devices can be supported in Bus Master Mode, it also support for "Ultra 33" synchronous DMA compatible devices. Enhanced DMA controller with Fast Type-F DMA Two Interrupt Controller based on two 82C59 and Timers based on 82C54 which provides System Timer, Refresh Request, Speaker Tone Output. It contains full support for the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification. The Intel 82371AB is a 324-pin BGA package IC which provides the following features: · · · [T] [U] PCI Add-in Board Connectors Pentium® Type-7 Socket This motherboard provides three 32-bits PCI slots with up to 133MB/sec burst data transfer rate. The type-7 socket is a 321-pin, zero insertion force (ZIF) socket. It provides users with a performance upgrade path to Pentium® OverDrive technology. PENTIUM® PROCESSOR An approved Pentium heatsink is necessary for proper thermal dissipation in an AT compliant chassis. The processor/heatsink assembly must be securely fastened to the Socket 7 ZIF socket by two clips. These clips fit over the heatsink assembly and attach to the outer wide tabs of the Socket 7 assembly. Page 18 Award BIOS and CMOS Setup Utility [V] Intel 430TX PCIset System Controller The Intel 82430TX integrates the cache and main memory DRAM control functions and provides bus control for transfers between the CPU, cache, main memory and the PCI Bus. The TX comes in a 324pins BGA package. [W] System Clock Chip This system clock chip provides all the clock signals for the system, such as CPU clock, PCI bus clock, and etc. [X] ATX Power Supply Connector Based on the ATX specification, one 20-pin power connector covers all the required power sources, ±5V, ±12V and ±3. 3V, with soft-touch button power on/off features. This connector reduces the installation time and minimizes the chance of defects caused by incorrect connection. [Y] [Z] 256K/512K Cache RAM TAG RAM An 256K/512K Cache RAM on-board in order to further enhanced of your system performance. High speed Tag RAM. Page 19 Award BIOS and CMOS Setup Utility Award BIOS and CMOS Setup Utility GETTING START All computer motherboards provide a Setup utility program for specifying the system configuration and settings. If your motherboard came in a computer system, the proper configuration entries may have already been made. [. . . ] Use the arrow keys to highlight the item and then use the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you want in each item. The Default Setting of Integrated Peripherals IDE HDD Block Mode If IDE HDD Block Mode Enabled, the BIOS will detect the block size of the HDD and send block command automatically. Select Disable if your hard disk not support the Block mode transfer. The default setting is "Enabled". IDE Primary/Secondary and Master/Slave PIO Mode This option sets the PIO mode for all drives connected to the onboard PCI IDE. If this option is set to AUTO, the PIO mode will be set according to the value the drive reports with the auto detect hard disk function. [. . . ]
