[. . . ] PROPRIETARY NOTICE AND LIABILITY DISCLAIMER The information disclosed in this document, including all designs and related materials, is the valuable property of NEC Corporation (NEC) and/or its licensors. NEC and/or its licensors, as appropriate, reserve all patent, copyright and other proprietary rights to this document, including all design, manufacturing, reproduction, use, and sales rights thereto, except to the extent said rights are expressly granted to others. The NEC product(s) discussed in this document are warranted in accordance with the terms of the Warranty Statement accompanying each product. However, actual performance of each such product is dependent upon factors such as system configuration, customer data, and operator control. [. . . ] The processor is Pentium Pro processor that is backward compatible with 8086, 80286, I386, and Intel 486 processors. Processor Speed This field cannot be entered, it is an information field only. The 2200 processor operates at an internal speed of 200 MHz and an external speed of 66 MHz. The 2180 processor operates at an internal speed of 180 MHz and an external speed of 66 MHz. Cache Size This field cannot be entered, it is an information field only. Peripheral Configuration When the cursor is placed in the Peripheral Configuration field, you can select it by pressing Enter. The Peripheral Submenu appears for setting parameters which affect the IDE devices, diskette drive, serial ports, and parallel port. Peripheral Submenu The Peripheral Submenu lets you check or change the following peripheral parameters. NEC Drivers and Utilities 4-15 Peripheral Configuration Mode The Peripheral Configuration Mode fields control whether the onboard resources are manually or automatically set up. The options are as follows. T T Auto (default) - automatically configures the IDE devices, diskette drive, serial ports, and parallel port during power up. Manual - provides the following options. This selection allows you to customize the peripheral ports. IDE Interface (Primary and Secondary) The Primary and Secondary IDE Interface fields enable the IDE interface connectors on the system board. These fields can be either "Auto" detected or "Disabled. " The default is "Auto. " Floppy Interface The Floppy Interface field enables the diskette drive interface connector on the system board. This field can be either "Auto" detected or "Disabled. " The default is "Auto. " USB Interface The Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface field enables or disables the USB interface ports on the system board. The options are "Enabled" or "Disabled. " The default is "Enabled. " Serial Port (1 and 2) Address The serial ports 1 and 2 may be "Auto" detected or "Disabled. " The default is "Auto. " When "Auto" is selected, the first free COM port is assigned. The serial COM port and addresses are as follows. When an option is selected for one serial port, the selection is not available for the second port. 4-16 NEC Drivers and Utilities T T T T T Disabled COM1, 3F8h, IRQ4 COM2, 2F8h, IRQ3 COM3, 3E8h, IRQ4 Auto (default) Serial Port 2 IR Mode The Serial Port 2 IR Mode field allows you to dedicate Serial Port 2 for Infra-red applications. This field can be either "Enabled" or "Disabled. " The default is "Disabled. " Parallel Port Address The parallel ports may be "Auto" detected or "Disabled. " The default is "Auto. " When "Auto" is selected, the first free LPT port is assigned. The parallel port address options are as follows. T T T T T Disabled LPT3, 3BCh, IRQ7 LPT1, 378h, IRQ7 LPT2, 278h, IRQ7 Auto Parallel Port Mode The Parallel Port Mode field options are as follows. T T Compatible (default) - sets the parallel port to the standard AT compatibility. Bi-directional - sets the parallel port to input/output mode only. NEC Drivers and Utilities 4-17 T T ECP - sets the parallel port to the Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP) mode. EPP - sets the parallel port to the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) mode. Advanced Chipset Configuration The Advanced Chipset Configuration allows parameters that affect system performance to be changed. Place the cursor in the Advanced Menu field and select the Advanced Chipset Configuration by pressing Enter. The Advanced Chipset Configuration appears. Advanced Chipset Configuration Submenu The Advanced Chipset Configuration Submenu lets you check or change the following chipset parameters. T T T T T T T T Base Memory Size ISA LFB Size ISA LFB Base Address Video Palette Snoop Latency Timer (PCI Clocks) Memory Error Detection Onboard Audio Banks 0 and 1 SIMM Detected Base Memory Size The Base Memory Size field controls the mapping of addresses between "512 KB" and "640 KB. " The two choices are described as follows. T 512 KB - directs address mapping between 512 KB and 640 KB to the ISA bus. 4-18 NEC Drivers and Utilities T 640 KB (default) - directs address mapping between 512 KB and 640 KB to the system DRAM. Unless using an ISA expansion board that requires access to this address range, this field should not be changed. ISA LFB Size The ISA Video Linear Frame Buffer (LFB) Size provides a mechanism for creating a hole in the system memory map. Address accesses made to this hole will be directed to the ISA bus instead of main memory. This "Disabled" setting should not be changed unless you are using an ISA board which has memory greater than 64K, needs to be accessed by the CPU, and you are not using the Plug and Play run-time utilities. The following choices are available. T T Disabled (default) 1 MB ISA LFB Base Address This field cannot be entered, it is an information field only. If the ISA LFB field is "Disabled" this field does not appear. The ISA Video LFB Base Address field displays "15 MB" (the starting address of the ISA memory hole) if "1 MB" is chosen as the ISA LFB Size parameter. Video Palette Snoop The Video Palette Snoop field enables card "snoop" (also called RAMDAC shadowing) write cycles to the ISA video card's palette registers.
