Installing/removing processor (with heat sink)
Disconnect the system completely from the mains voltage before performing any of the tasks described below. Details are contained in your systems operating manual.

Technical data

Intel Pentium 4 with 533/800/1066 MHz front side bus (max. 95 W) in the LGA775 design A current list of the processors supported by this mainboard is available on the Internet at: "www.fujitsu-siemens.com/mainboards". Never touch the underside of the processor. Even minor soiling such as grease from the skin can impair the processors operation or destroy the processor. Place the processor in the socket with extreme care, as the spring contacts of the socket are very delicate and must not be bent. If one or more spring contacts are bent, do not insert the processor as it may be damaged by doing so. Please contact the responsible vendor.

2 - English

Procedure
The processor socket ist covered with a protective cap to protect the spring contacts In a warranty case the mainboard can only be taken back by Fujitsu Siemens Computers with the protective cap secured! Remove the heat sink. Press down on the lever and unhook it. Fold up the frame. Hold the processor between your thumb and index nger and insert it into the socket (b) so that the marking of the processor is aligned with the marking on the socket (a). Press the lever downward until it is hooked in again. Remove the protective cap and keep it.
Please note that, depending on the heat sink used, different heat sink mounts are required on the mainboard.
Depending on the conguration variant, you must pull a protective foil off the heat sink or coat the heat sink with heat conducting paste before tting it. Secure the heat sink - depending on the model - with four screws or push it into the mounts.
Installing/removing main memory
Technical data Technology Total Size Module size DDR/ 533 / 667 unbuffered DIMM modules 240-Pin; 1.8 V; 64 Bit 256 Mbytes to 4 Gbytes 256, 512, 1024 or 2048 Mbytes for one module
A current list of the memory modules recommended for this mainboard is available on the Internet at: "www.fujitsu-siemens.com/mainboards".

English - 3

At least one memory module must be installed. Memory modules with different memory capacities can be combined. You may use only unbuffered 1.8 V memory modules without ECC. DDR2-memory modules must meet the PC2-4200U, PC2-5300U or PC2-3200 specication. With a memory conguration of 4 Gbytes the visible and usable main memory can be reduced down to 3 Gbytes (depending on the system conguration).

The installation/removal is described in the "Basic information on mainboard" manual.
PCI bus interrupts - Selecting correct PCI slot
Extensive information on this section is contained in the "Basic information on mainboard" manual. To achieve optimum stability, performance and compatibility, avoid the multiple use of ISA IRQs or PCI IRQ Lines (IRQ sharing). 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 specied 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 specied 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 1.1 Dev 13 Fn 0 1th Dev 13 Fn 1 2nd Dev 13 Fn 0 3rd Dev 13 Fn 1 4th Dev 13 Fn 2 5th EHCI USB 2.(A) x 2 (B) x x 3 (C) x x 4 (D) 5 (E) 6 (F) 7 (G) 8 (H) -

4 - English

PCI INT LINE Dev 13 Fn 7 LAN HDA Audio Onboard Graphik Mechanical slot PCI INT LINE PCIe x16 PCIe x1 PCI 1 PCI 2

2 (B) x

3 (C) -
First use 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.

BIOS update

When should a BIOS update be carried out? 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. A BIOS update should always also be carried out when a problem exists that cannot be solved with new drivers or new software. Where can I obtain BIOS updates? BIOS updates are available on the Internet at "www.fujitsu-siemens.com/mainboards".

Boot Sector Protection This function protects the BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized users or computer viruses. When enabled, the BIOS data cannot be changed when attempting to update the BIOS with a Flash utility. To successfully update the BIOS, youll need to disable this Flash BIOS Protection function.You should enable this function at all times. The only time when you need to disable it is when you want to update the BIOS. After updating the BIOS, you should immediately re-enable it to protect it against viruses. Full Screen Logo Display This item enables you to show the company logo on the bootup screen. Settings are: [Enabled] Shows a still image (logo) on the full screen at boot. [Disabled] Shows the POST messages at boot. Quick Booting Setting the item to [Enabled] allows the system to boot within 10 seconds since it will skip some check items.
Boot Up Num-Lock LED This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. APIC Function This field is used to enable or disable the APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller). Due to compliance with PC2001 design guide, the system is able to run in APIC mode. Enabling APIC mode will expand available IRQ resources for the system. MPS Table Version This field allows you to select which MPS (Multi-Processor Specification) version to be used for the operating system. You need to select the MPS version supported by your operating system. To find out which version to use, consult the vendor of your operating system.

Power Management Setup

S3-related functions described in this section are available only when your BIOS supports S3 sleep mode.
ACPI Function This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as Windows 2000/ X P, select [Enabled].
ACPI Standby State This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system supports ACPI, such as Windows 2000/ XP , you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1 or S3 fashion through the setting of this field. Settings are: [1 S] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all sys tem context. [3 S] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in formation of system configuration and open applications/ files is saved to main memory that remains powered while most other hardware components turn off to save energy. The information stored in memory will be used to restore the system when a wake up event occurs.
Soft off by PWR BTTN When [Enabled], turning the system off with the on/ off button places the system in avery low-power-usage state, with only enough circuitry receiving power to detect power button activity or Resume by Ring activity. Restore On AC Power Loss This item specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt occurs. Settings are: [Power Off] Always leaves the computer in the power off state. [On] Always leaves the computer in the power on state. [Last State] Restores the system to the status before power failure or interrupt occurred. Wake Up Event Setup Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu, and the following screen appears.
Resume From S3 By USB Device This setting determines whether the system will be awakened from what power saving modes when input signal of USB devices are detected.
Resume By PCI Device (PME#) When set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the power saving modes through any event on PME (Power Management Event). Resume By PCI-E Device When set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the power saving modes through any event on PCIE device. Resume By Onboard LAN When set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the power saving modes through any event on the onboard LAN. Resume By RTC Alarm The field is used to enable or disable the feature of booting up the system on a scheduled time/ date.

PnP/PCI Configurations

Primary Graphics Adapter This setting specifies which graphics card is your primary graphics adapter. PCI Latency Timer This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI performance, you should set the item to higher values. PCI Slot1/ 2 IRQ These items specify the IRQ line for each PCI slot. IRQ Resource Setup Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu, and the following screen appears.

IRQ 3/ 4/ 5/ 7/ 9/ 10/ 11/ 14/ 15 These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used. The settings determine if AMI BIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning an [Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMI BIOS. Al l IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as [Available]. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices.
IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. After receiving the signal, when the operating system is ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the I/O device.

H/W Monitor

CPU Smart FAN Control The mainboard provides the Smart Fan function which can control the CPU fan speed automatically depending on the current temperature to keep it with in a specific range. You can select a fan target value here. If the current CPU fan temperature reaches to the target value, the smart fan function will be activated. It provides several sections to speed up for cooling down automaticlly. CPU Min. FAN Speed (%) This item allows users to select how percentage of minimum speed limit for the CPU fn a. CPU/ System Temperature, CPU/ SYS FAN Speed, CPU Vcore, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 5V SB These items display the current status of all of the monitored hardware devices/ components such as CPU voltage, temperatures and all fans speeds.

Current CPU/ FSB/ DRAM Frequency These items show the current clocks of CPU and Memory speed. Read-only. Intel EIST The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of the microprocessor whether the computer is running on battery or AC power. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support speedstep technology. DRAM Frequency This setting allows you to set the bus frequency for installed DRAM. Advance DRAM Configuration Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu, and the following screen appears.

DDR Memory Timing By SPD Setting to [Enabled] enables DRAM CAS# Latency automatically to be determined by BIOS based on the configurations on the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) EEP ROM on the DRAM module. Spread Spectrum When the motherboards clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves.
Load Fail-Safe/ Optimized Defaults
The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS settings to the default Fail-Safe or Optimized values. The Optimized Defaults are the default values set by the mainboard manufacturer specifically for optimal performance of the mainboard. The Fail-Safe Defaults are the default values set by the BIOS vendor for stable system performance. When you select Load Fail-Safe Defaults, a message as below appears:
Pressing Y loads the BIOS default values for the most stable, minimal system performance. When you select Load Optimized Defaults, a message as below appears:
