2.1.3 Performance

UltraPerformance: Onboard Ultra160/Ultra2 (depending on model) dual channel SCSI controller with two connectors that support 30 Ultra160/Ultra2 SCSI devices in two channels. Dual Speeds: CPU frequency can operate at either 133MHz or 100MHz depending on the CPU installed. High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: SCSI transfers using Ultra160/Ultra2 (depending on model) dual channel SCSI controller can handle rates up to 160MB/ s or 80MB/s. Ultra160/Ultra2 is backward compatible with slower SCSI devices so that older SCSI devices are not wasted. (Ultra160/Ultra2 SCSI cables have twisted pairs compared to flat ribbon cables used in older SCSI standards.) Advanced 64-bit PCI: Maximizes IO bandwidth for the next generation of 64bit PCI cards, supports up to (2) full 64-bit 66/33MHz PCI busses, and supports up to (5) 32-bit 33MHz PCI busses. Full Peer-to-Peer Support: Allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI busses and increases options for intelligent IO and Server Management cards. SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports PC133 registered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which increases the data transfer rate to 1064MB/s max ACPI Ready: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is also implemented on all ASUS smart series motherboards. ACPI provides more Energy Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features implemented in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards. To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS, such as Windows 98, must be used. New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meet the stringent requirements for SDG2.0 certification. The new SDG2.0 requirements for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: support for Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows NT/2000. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as required by PC 99.

2. FEATURES Performance

2.1.4 Intelligence
Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM and failure. All the fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds. Temperature Monitoring and Alert: To prevent system overheat and system damage, this motherboard supports processor thermal sensing and auto-protection. Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper system configuration and management. System Resources Alert: Todays server operating systems, such as Windows NT and Windows 2000, require much more memory and hard drive space to present enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The onboard hardware ASUS ASIC in conjunction Intel LDSM will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on managing their limited resources more efficiently. Dual Function Power Button: Through BIOS, the power button can be defined as the Stand by (a.k.a. Suspend or Sleep) button or as the Soft-Off (see ATX Power / Soft-Off Switch Lead in 3.8 Connectors for more information) button. Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4 seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode. Remote Ring On (requires modem): This allows a computer to be turned on remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on-hand, users can access any information from their computers from anywhere in the world. Alert-on-LAN II (requires optional hardware component): Part of Wired for Management to enable IT staff to remotely respond to and resolve system trouble which will decrease down time and lower total cost of ownership. Remote management response via remote diagnostics and troubleshooting work even when the operating system has frozen. Remote power down for power management. Asset tracking and monitoring through features like presence ping and logoff notification.

3.5.2 DIMM Installation

Insert the module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module will only fit in the orientation shown. DIMMs are longer and have different pin contacts on each side and therefore have a higher pin density compared to SIMMs.

88 Pins

60 Pins

20 Pins

CUR-DLS 168-Pin DIMM Sockets
The DIMMs must be 3.3V registered for this motherboard. To determine the DIMM type, check the notches on the DIMMs (see figure below).
The notches on the DIMM module will shift between left, center, or right to identify the type and also to prevent the wrong type from being inserted into the DIMM slot on the motherboard. You must ask your retailer the correct DIMM type before purchasing.
3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU that came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processors heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary. The CPU will be unstable if the heatsink is not properly mounted. Double check the contact. To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown. The notched corner should point towards the end of the lever. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown. The picture is for reference only; you should have a CPU fan that covers the face of the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the sockets lever while holding down the CPU. Next, install an Intel recommended fan heatsink. Locate the CPU fan connector (see 3.1 Motherboard Layout or 3.8 Connectors) and connect the CPU fan cable to it. NOTE: The correct Bus Frequency and Multiple for your Socket 370 processor is automatically set by this motherboard. Socket 370 processors provide internal thermal sensing so that a socket mounted thermal resistor is not needed. CAUTION! Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting a clampstyle processor fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard.

3.7.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards
This is applicable only when MPS 1.4 Support is Disabled in section 4.6 Boot Menu. Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclusively assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If your motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If your motherboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free. IMPORTANT: If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support Share IRQ or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable. The following table lists the default IRQ assignments for standard PC devices. Use this table when configuring your system and for resolving IRQ conflicts.

5) Parallel Port Connector (Burgundy 25-pin PRINTER) You can enable the parallel port and choose the IRQ through Onboard Parallel Port (see 4.4.2 I/O Device Configuration). NOTE: Serial printers must be connected to the serial port.

11) Primary (Blue) / Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1 pin IDE1/IDE2) These connectors support the provided UltraDMA/33 IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cables blue connector to the motherboards primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, and then connect the gray connector to your UltraDMA/33 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to your UltraDMA/33 master device. It is recommended that non-UltraDMA/33 devices be connected to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS now supports specific device bootup (see Boot Sequence in 4.6 Boot Menu). (Pin 20 is removed to prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged). If you have more than two UltraDMA/33 devices, you will need to purchase another UltraDMA/33 cable. TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon cables one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE connector. You may install one operating system on an IDE drive and another on a SCSI drive and select the boot disk through Boot Sequence in 4.6 Boot Menu.

4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS
4.1.1 Upon First Use of the Computer System
It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS along with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later. AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode. To determine the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS file. 1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system floppy disk. DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS to the disk. 2. Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CDROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the just created boot disk. NOTE: AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It will not work with DOS prompt in Windows and will not work with certain memory drivers that may be loaded when you boot from your hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot using a floppy. 3. Reboot your computer from the floppy disk. NOTE: BIOS setup must specify Floppy as the first item in the boot sequence. 4. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH.
IMPORTANT! If unknown is displayed after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

3. H/W SETUP System Memory
3.5.2 Memory Installation
WARNING! Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and expansion cards (see 3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure for more information). Insert a DIMM into the DIMM socket as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module only fits in one direction. SDRAM DIMMs have different pin contacts on each side.

88 Pins

60 Pins

20 Pins

CUR-DLSR 168-Pin DIMM Sockets
Use only 3.3Volt registered SDRAM DIMMs. To determine the DIMM type, check the notches on the DIMMs (see the figure below).
The notches on the DIMM shifts between left, center, or right to identify the type and also to prevent the wrong type from being inserted into the DIMM slot on the motherboard. You must tell your retailer the correct DIMM type before purchasing. This motherboard supports four clock signals per DIMM.
3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a dual Socket 370 for Intel Pentium III 1GHz CPUs with 133MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). The following illustration shows the location of the CPU sockets on the motherboard and the correct CPU orientation.

(Use when only one CPU is installed)

CUR-DLSR Socket 370

Note in the illustration that the CPU and the terminator have marks (usually a notch or a gold mark on one corner) to help you identify the proper orientation and enable you to correctly install them. It is important that you match the marked corner of the CPU and terminator with the corresponding corner on the socket so as not to damage the CPU pins. WARNING! If you are installing this motherboard into a 1U system,you must use a specially designed heatsink qualified for critical environments. Failure to do so will cause the CPU to overheat and may damage both the CPU and the motherboard.

2) Primary/Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1 pin IDE1/IDE2) These connectors support UltraDMA/33 IDE hard disks. Use IDE ribbon cables to connect the master and slave devices to these connectors. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS supports specific device bootup (see 4.6. Boot Menu). NOTE: Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you connect the cables. TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon cables one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE connector.

4. BIOS SETUP

4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS
4.1.1 Upon First Use of the Computer System
It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS along with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later. AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode. To determine the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS file. 1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk. DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk. 2. Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CD-ROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created. NOTE: AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS prompt within Windows and does not work with certain memory drivers that may be loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot using a floppy disk. 3. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk. NOTE: BIOS setup must specify Floppy as the first item in the boot sequence. 4. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH.
IMPORTANT! If the word unknown appears after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.
4. BIOS SETUP Updating BIOS
5. Select 1. Save Current BIOS to File from the Main menu and press <Enter>. The Save Current BIOS To File screen appears.
6. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX and then press <Enter>.

A. Building the SYMHISL Driver Update Diskette
To create a SYMHISL diskette for Solaris installations, copy the raw symitu.dd image file onto a 1.44 Mbytes floppy diskette. This process is dependent upon the operating system that you are using to create this diskette. See the instructions below for UNIX System and DOS System Users. For UNIX System Users: Follow these steps to create the SYMHISL Driver Update diskette: 1. Insert a 3.5" diskette into the floppy diskette drive. 2. At the UNIX prompt, type: #volcheck -v #dd if=/<path>/symitu.dd of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=36k #eject floppy The <path> is where the dd image is located. On this CD-ROM, the dd image file is located here: /SDMS/DRIVERS/UNIXES/SOLARIS/SOLARIS/SYMITU.DD For DOS System Users: Under this section, DOS system users have two choices. 1. Use a utility that will copy the raw dd image onto a 1.44 Mbytes floppy diskette. This dd image is located at: \SDMS\DRIVERS\UNIXES\SOLARIS\SOLARIS\SYMITU.DD RAWRITE3.COM, which is a public domain utility, is available on this CDROM at this location: \SDMS\DRIVERS\UNIXES\RAWRITE3.COM Instructions for using this utility are included in its accompanying RaWrite file or as a Microsoft Word document located at: \SDMS\DRIVERS\UNIXES\RAWRITE3.DOC 2. The other DOS alternative is to use the self-extracting image file that is located at: \SDMS\DISKIMAG\SOLARIS.EXE
These instructions provide details to install the SDMS symhisl driver using the SYMHISL Update diskette created above during installation of the operating system using the SYM53C896 or SYM53C1010 controller. To use the driver on the SYMHISL Driver Update diskette to install Solaris X86 (Intel Platform Edition) on a machine, follow the next steps. ASUS CUR-DLSR Users Manual 93

This procedure assumes SCO UNIX is already installed on a hard disk drive. This installation is necessary to build a new UNIX kernel that includes the proper LSI host adapter driver. The basic steps for accomplishing this are outlined below. For more details on UNIX installation, refer to the SCO UNIX System Administrators Reference Manual. 1. The SCO OpenServer 5 system automatically creates a file unix.safe during installation. To access this UNIX kernel, type after the boot prompt: [Boot : unix.safe] Press Enter. 2. Log on as system administrator root. 3. Insert the SDMS BTLD diskette in the floppy drive and type: [# installpkg] Press Enter to continue.
4. A prompt appears to insert the requested diskette. Since the BTLD diskette is already inserted, press Enter. 5. A prompt asks for the name of the package. Type: [slha] Press Enter to continue. 6. If a driver is already present from a previous installation, a prompt inquires about replacing it. Reply y for yes. 7. Once the install package (installpkg) has completed, relink the kernel by typing: [# /etc/conf/cf.d/link_unix] 8. The system will execute the command and then will prompt for a series of responses: a. Do you want this kernel to boot by default (y/n)? Type: [y] Press Enter. The system backs up the old kernel. b. Do you want the kernel environment rebuilt (y/n)? Type: [y] Press Enter. 9. To activate the new kernel, you must reboot the system. At the command prompt, type: [# reboot] (or init 6)
I. Intel 82559 Network Driver Installation
Since the Intel 82559 network driver is non-bundled driver for SCO OpenServer 5.0.x, user must download the Prob100+ Network Driver from SCO FTP site at: ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/drivers/OSR505/network/. Or user can find the Intel 82559 Network driver from ASUS Driver Support CD at: \LAN\UNIX\SCO5\ To install these drivers, take the following steps: 1. Log on as root. 2. Download and copy the Intel 82559 volume image VOL.000.000 from SCO web site (or copy from Driver Support CD) to a directory, for example, /tmp/vol. 3. Run custom and select Install New. Install from your host machine using Media Images. 4. Give the directory name where the volume images have been downloaded, for example, /tmp/vol. 5. Complete the installation and exit custom. 6. Run netconfig and configure the onboard Intel 82559 network adapter: Intel PRO/100B/PRO+/100+ PCI Adapter 7. To activate the new kernel, you must reboot the system. At the command prompt, type: [# reboot] (or init 6)
Since ATI Rage XL graphic driver is not bundled for SCO OpenServer 5.0.x, user can configure the graphic as standard IBM VGA. Or, user can change the graphics driver by using mkdev graphics instruction from command prompt.
