[. . . ] By touching a grounded object) before working with the board. The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charge. Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing boards. Special features Your mainboard is available in different configuration levels. [. . . ] Depending on the configuration, your mainboard will be equipped with or provide support for certain features. This manual describes the most important properties of this mainboard. The location of the interfaces and connectors of your mainboard is specified at the beginning of the manual. The components and connectors marked are not necessarily present on the mainboard. External ports The location of the external connections of your mainboard is specified at the beginning of the manual. PS/2 keyboard port, purple LAN port (RJ-45) Audio input (Line in), light blue Audio output (Line out), light green Serial interface, turquoise In accordance with the USB 2. 0 specification, the external USB ports must only be loaded with a maximum of 500 mA per USB port. PS/2 mouse port, green Microphone jack, pink USB ­ Universal Serial Bus, black VGA, blue Disconnect the system from the mains voltage before performing any of the tasks described below. Details are contained in the operating manual of your system. Even minor soiling such as grease from the skin can impair the processor's operation or destroy the processor. Number of memory modules inserted 2 3 x x x x x Should IRQ sharing be unavoidable, then all involved devices and their drivers must support IRQ sharing. Which ISA IRQs are assigned to the PCI IRQ Lines is normally automatically specified by the BIOS (see "BIOS Setup" description). Monofunctional expansion cards PCI/PCI Express expansion cards require a maximum of one interrupt, which is called the PCI interrupt INT A. Expansion cards that do not require an interrupt can be installed in any desired slot. Multifunctional expansion cards or expansion cards with integrated PCI-PCI bridge These expansion cards require up to four PCI interrupts: INT A, INT B, INT C, INT D. How many and which of these interrupts are used is specified in the documentation provided with the card. The assignment of the PCI interrupts to the IRQ Lines is shown in the following table: On board controller PCI INT LINE UHCI USB 1. Use first PCI/PCI Express slots that have a single PCI IRQ Line (no IRQ sharing). If you must use another PCI/PCI Express slot with IRQ sharing, check whether the expansion card properly supports IRQ sharing with the other devices on this PCI IRQ Line. The drivers of all cards and components on this PCI IRQ Line must also support IRQ sharing. [. . . ] If you must use another PCI/PCI Express slot with IRQ sharing, check whether the expansion card properly supports IRQ sharing with the other devices on this PCI IRQ Line. The drivers of all cards and components on this PCI IRQ Line must also support IRQ sharing. Fujitsu Siemens Computers makes new BIOS versions available to ensure compatibility with new operating systems, new software or new hardware. In addition, new BIOS functions can also be integrated.
