26 Introduction.6 What is AGP? The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports an AGP port. The main purpose of the AGP port is to provide fast access to system memory. The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs. 32-bits at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and side band addressing. When the 2x-data rate is used the port can transmit data at 533MB/sec (66.6*2*4). The read-queue can be used to pipeline reads removing the effects of the reads-latency. Side band addressing can be used to transmit the data address on a separate line in order to speed up the transaction. -6

29 3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION 3.. UNPACKING The mainboard package should contain the following: The GA 686SLX mainboard. The Retention Mechanism & Attach Mount USER'S MANUAL for mainboard. Cable set for IDE, Floppy, SCSI & I/O devices. Diskette or CD for Mainboard Utility. External SCSI port adapter. The mainboard contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed. Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat. Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board before proceeding. After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for damage. Press down on all of the socket IC's to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this only on with the board placed on a firm flat surface. DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED. 3-

The DRAM memory system on mainboard consists of bank 0,, 2 & bank 3. Since 68 pins DIMM module is 64 bits width, using PCS which can match a 64 bits system. The total memory size is 8 MB ~ GB EDO / 52MB SDRAM. The DRAM installation position refer to Figure 3., and notice the Pin of DIMM module must match with the Pin of DIMM socket. Insert the DRAM DIMM module into the DIMM socket at Vertical angle. If there is a wrong direction of Pin, the DRAM DIMM module couldn't be inserted into socket completely CPU SPEED SETUP The system's speed is fixed to 66.6MHz. The user can change the DIP SWITCH (SW) selection to set up the CPU speed for MHz processor. The CPU speed must match with the frequency RATIO. It will cause system hanging up if the frequency RATIO is higher than CPU's. DIP SWITCH (SW) FREQ. RATIO EXT.CLK. MHz INT.CLK.

34 Hardware Installation surface when the CPU is installed onto mainboard CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM There're RTC & CMOS SRAM on board; they have a power supply from external battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC is a REAL-TIME CLOCK device, which provides the DATE & TIME to system. The CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of system configuration, so the system can automatically boot OS every time. Since the lifetime of internal battery is 5 years, the user can change a new Battery to replace old one after it cannot work SPEAKER CONNECTOR INSTALLATION There is a speaker in AT system for sound purpose. The 4 - Pins connector SPK is used to connect speaker HARDWARE RESET SWITCH CONNECTOR INSTALLATION The RESET switch on panel provides users with HARDWARE RESET function. The system will do a cold start after the RESET switch is pushed and released by user. The RESET switch is a 2 PIN connector and should be installed to RST on mainboard POWER LED CONNECTOR INSTALLATION System has power LED lamp on the panel of case. The power LED will light on off or flash to indicate which step on the system. The connector should be connected to PWR of mainboard in correct direction IDE & ATAPI DEVICE INSTALLATION There are two-enhanced PCI IDE ports (IDE, IDE2) on board, which following ATAPI standard SPEC. Any one IDE port can connected to two ATAPI devices (IDE Hard Disk, CD-ROM & Tape Driver), so total four ATAPI devices can exist in a system. The HD is the active LED port for ATAPI 3-6

35 devices. 3.. SCSI DEVICE INSTALLATION There are two SCSI ports on board, One is 8bit SCSI port for SCSI-2 or ULTRA SCSI device, and total 7 8bit SCSI devices can exist in a system. The other is 6bit SCSI port for wide or ULTRA Wide SCSI device, and total 5 SCSI devices (include 8bit SCSI device) can exist in a system. The low byte terminator (used for 8bit SCSI port) and high byte terminator (used for Wide SCSI port) turning "ON" or "OFF" are controlled by BIOS SETUP (in the INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS SETUP PAGE).

PERIPHERAL DEVICE INSTALLATION After the I/O device installation and jumpers setup, the mainboard can be mounted into the case and fixed by screw. To complete the mainboard installation, the peripheral device could be installed now. The basic system needs a display interface card. If the PCI - Bus device is to be installed in the system, any one of four PCI - Bus slots can be used KEYBOARD & PS/2 MOUSE INSTALLATION The main board supports PS/2 Mouse (J). The BIOS will auto detect whether the PS/2 Mouse is installed or not & assign IRQ2 for PS/2 Mouse port if it is installed. After installing the peripheral device, the user should check everything again, and prepare to power-on the system. 3-9

NO Errors All Errors All, But Keyboard All, But Diskette All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will be stopped and you will be prompted The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for all other errors The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other errors The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or 4-6

45 BIOS Configuration disk error; it will stop for all other errors Memory The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS. Base Memory The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 52 K for systems with 52 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the motherboard. Extended Memory The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above MB in the CPU's memory address map. Expanded Memory Expanded Memory in memory defined by the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft (LIM) standard as EMS. Many standard DOS applications can not utilize memory above 640 K; the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) swaps memory, which not utilized by DOS with a section, or frame, so these applications, can access all of the system memory. Memory can be swapped by EMS is usually 64 K within MB or memory above MB, depends on the chipset design. Expanded memory device driver is required to use memory as Expanded Memory. Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 024 K address space. This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM. 4-7
