System Memory  
Main Memory  
The motherboard has four DDR2 SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)  
sockets. Support for up to a maximum memory size of 8GB. The BIOS automatically  
detects memory type, size, and speed.  
The motherboard supports the following memory features:  
240 pin DDR2 400 MHz SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts  
Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:  
Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organisation are not supported.  
8 GB maximum total system memory total amount of addressable memory.  
Minimum total system memory: 256 MB  
72bit registered ECC DIMMs  
Serial Presence Detect  
Notes:  
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR2 SDRAM memory specifications, the  
board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect  
(SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the  
chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-  
SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory  
settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not  
function under the determined frequency.

Memory Configurations  
The Vig390s with Intel E7525 MCH supports Dual channel (Interleaved) mode  
memory organisation:  
Dual channel (Interleaved) mode: This mode offers the highest throughput for real  
world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory  
capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary  
from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel  
must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest  
memory timing will be used.  
Single channel (Asymmetric) mode: This mode is equivalent to single channel  
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a  
single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and  
device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are  
used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.  
NOTE:  
The DIMM A2 and B2 sockets of both channels are blue. The DIMM A1and B1  
sockets of both channels are black.  
Figure 4: Memory Channel and DIMM Configuration  
Dual channel mode: Installed modules must be the same therefore for 1GB total  
system memory two 512MB modules would be installed in sockets A1 and B1.

transfer rates of up to 66 MB/sec. ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and  
is device driver compatible.  
ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The  
ICH5’s ATA-100 logic can achieve read transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec and  
write transfer rates up to 88 MB/sec.  
Serial ATA Support  
The ICH5’s Serial ATA controller offers two independent Serial ATA ports with a  
theoretical maximum transfer rate of 150 MB/s per port. One device can be installed  
on each port for a maximum of two Serial ATA devices. A point-to-point interface is  
used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which supports a  
master/slave configuration and two devices per channel.  
For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the  
operating system. The Serial ATA controller can operate in both legacy and native  
modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14  
and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI resource steering is used. Native mode is the  
preferred mode for configurations using the Windows XP and Windows 2000  
operating systems.  
LS-120 Support  
LS-120 MB Diskette technology enables you to store 120MB of data on a single, 3.5”  
removable diskette.  
LS-120 technology is backward (both read and write)  
compatible with 1.44MB and 720KB DOS-formatted diskette and is supported by  
Windows 95 and Windows NT operating system.  
The VIG390S board allows connection of an LS-120 compatible drive and a standard  
3½” floppy drive. The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device before a  
floppy drive, if selected in the BIOS setup utility.  
Note: If you connect an LS-120 drive to an IDE connector and configure it as the “A”  
drive and configure a standard 3.5” floppy as “B” drive, the standard floppy must be  
connected to the floppy drive cable’s “A” connector (the connector at the end of the  
cable).

The BIOS setup utility can be configured to boot firstly from either the LS120 or  
standard 3½” floppy drive.  
Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM and Battery  
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When  
the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of  
three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power  
supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at  
25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied.  
Note: If the battery and AC power fail, custom defaults, if previously saved, will be  
loaded into CMOS RAM at power-on.  
I/O Controller  
The I/O controller (Intel® 6300ESB I-O Controller Hub) provides the following  
features:  
One serial port (optional second serial port).  
One parallel port with Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced  
Parallel Port (EPP) support  
Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialised IRQ support for PCI systems  
PS/2-style mouse and keyboard interfaces  
Interface for one 1.44 MB diskette drive  
PCI-X 64/66 ports

and supports both PC-AT and PS/2 modes. In the Setup program, the floppy  
interface can be configured for the following floppy drive capacities and sizes:  
360 KB, 5.25-inch  
1.2 MB, 5.25-inch  
720 KB, 3.5-inch  
1.2 MB, 3.5-inch (driver required)  
1.25/1.44 MB, 3.5-inch (default configuration)  
2.88 MB, 3.5-inch  
PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Interface  
PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are located on the back panel. The +5 V lines  
to these connectors are protected with a PolySwitch circuit that, like a self-healing  
fuse, re-establishes the connection after an over-current condition is removed.  
The keyboard controller contains the AMI Megakey keyboard and mouse controller  
code, provides the keyboard and mouse control functions, and supports password  
protection for power on/reset. A power on/reset password can be specified in Setup.  
The keyboard controller also supports the hot-key sequence <Ctrl><Alt><Del> for a  
software reset. This key sequence resets the computer’s software by jumping to the  
beginning of the BIOS code and running the Power-On Self Test (POST).

Power Management  
Power management is implemented at several levels, including:  
Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)  
Hardware support:  
o Power connector  
o Fan connectors  
o LAN wake capabilities  
o Instantly Available PC technology  
o Resume on Ring  
o Wake from USB  
o Wake from PS/2 devices  
o Power Management Event signal (PME#) wake-up support  
ACPI  
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and  
Plug and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the VIG390S  
motherboard requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support. ACPI  
features include:  
Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration)  
Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in  
boards may require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives  
Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the power-  
on/standby sleeping state  
A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer  
Support for multiple wake-up events  
Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch  
Table 9 lists the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed,  
depending on how ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system.

System States and Power States  
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state  
transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based  
on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications.  
Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses  
information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a  
low-power state.  
Table 10 lists the power states supported by the VIG390S motherboard along with  
the associated system power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete  
description of the various system and power states.

Hardware Support  
CAUTION!  
Ensure that the power supply provides adequate +5 V standby current if LAN wake  
capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology features are used. Failure to do so  
can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current required  
depends on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options.  
The VIG390S motherboard provides several power management hardware features,  
including:  
Power connector  
Fan connectors  
LAN wake capabilities  
Instantly Available PC technology  
Resume on Ring  
Wake from USB  
Wake from PS/2 keyboard  
PME# signal wake-up support  
LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology require power from the  
+5 V standby line. The sections discussing these features describe the incremental  
standby power requirements for each.  
Resume on Ring enables telephony devices to access the computer when it is in a  
power-managed state. The method used depends on the type of telephony device  
(external or internal).  
Note: The use of Resume on Ring and Wake from USB technologies from an ACPI  
state requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support.  
Power Connector  
SSI ATX 12V compliant power supplies can turn off the system power through  
system control. When an ACPI-enabled system receives the correct command, the  
power supply removes all non-standby voltages.  
When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it  
was in before power was interrupted (on or off). The computer’s response can be set  
using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.  
28  
Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
LAN wake Capabilities  
CAUTION!  
For LAN wake capabilities, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be  
capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate  
standby current when implementing LAN wake capabilities can damage the power  
supply.  
LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network.  
The LAN subsystem PCI bus network adapter monitors network traffic at the Media  
Independent Interface. Upon detecting a Magic Packet* frame, the LAN subsystem  
asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer. Depending on the LAN  
implementation, the VIG390S motherboard supports LAN wake capabilities with  
ACPI in the following ways:  
The PCI bus PME# signal for PCI 2.2 compliant LAN designs  
The onboard LAN subsystem  
Instantly Available PC Technology  
CAUTION!  
For Instantly Available PC technology, the +5 V standby line for the power supply  
must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide  
adequate standby current when implementing Instantly Available PC technology can  
damage the power supply.  
Instantly Available PC technology enables the VIG390S motherboard to enter the  
ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) sleep-state. While in the S3 sleep-state, the computer  
will appear to be off (the power supply is off, and the front panel LED is amber if dual  
coloured, or off if single coloured.) When signalled by a wake-up device or event, the  
system quickly returns to its last known wake state.  
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and  
PCI 2.2 compliant add-in cards and drivers.  
Resume on Ring  
The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarised as follows:  
Resumes operation from ACPI S1 or S3 states  
Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems  
Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation  
29

Wake from USB  
USB bus activity wakes the computer from ACPI S1 or S3 states.  
Note: Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake  
from USB.  
Wake from PS/2 Devices  
PS/2 device activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.  
PME# Signal Wake-up Support  
When the PME# signal on the PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an  
ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 state (with Wake on PME enabled in BIOS).

CAUTION!  
The Viglen VIG390S motherboard  
and associated components are  
sensitive electronic devices. A small  
static shock from your body can  
cause expensive damage to your  
equipment.  
Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer  
case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a  
qualified engineer can perform the upgrade.  
STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:  
1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your  
local electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static  
charge will be harmlessly bled to ground.  
2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you  
are about to install it.  
3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.  
Note: We recommend that you return your computer to the service department for  
upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only be carried  
out by persons who are familiar with handling IC's, as incorrect installation will  
invalidate the guarantee.

Replacing the Clock/CMOS RAM Battery  
A lithium battery is installed in a socket on the system board.  
The battery has an estimated life expectancy of seven years. When the battery  
starts to weaken, it loses voltage; when the voltage drops below a certain level, the  
system settings stored in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) may be  
wrong.  
If the battery fails, you will need to replace it with a CR2032 battery or an equivalent.  
As long as local ordinance permits, you may dispose of individual batteries as  
normal rubbish. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat or any naked flame.  
Keep all batteries away from children.  
CAUTION!  
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the  
same or equivalent type recommended by Viglen. Discard used batteries according  
to manufacturer’s instructions.  
The battery is listed as board component ‘FF’ on the diagram on Figure 1.  
To replace the battery, carry out the following:  
1. Observe the precautions in “Before You Begin.”  
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.  
3. Turn off the system.  
4. Remove any components that are blocking access to the battery.  
5. Figure 1 shows the battery location. Gently pry the battery free from its socket,  
taking care to note the "+" and "-" orientation of the battery (Figure 28).  
6. Install the new battery in the socket.

Resetting the System  
Before checking your system for hardware problems, it is always a good idea to try  
resetting your computer and see if a re-boot can solve the problem. Most software  
related problems can be solved simply by re-booting your PC.  
Table 23: Resetting the System  
To do the following  
Press  
Soft boot: Clear the system memory and  
reload the operating system (also called  
warm reset).  
<Ctrl + Alt + Del>  
Cold boot: Clear the system memory, halt Power off/on or reset button (at front  
power to all peripherals, restart POST, and of the system)  
reload the operating system.

Troubleshooting Procedure  
This section provides a step-by-step troubleshooting procedure to identify a problem  
and locate its source.  
CAUTION!  
1. Turn off the system and any peripheral devices before you disconnect any  
peripheral cables from the system. Otherwise, you can permanently damage the  
system or the peripheral devices.  
2. Make sure the system is plugged into a properly grounded power outlet.  
3. Make sure your keyboard and video display are correctly connected to the  
system. Turn on the video display, and turn up its brightness and contrast  
controls to at least two-thirds of the maximum (refer to the documentation supplied  
with the video display).  
4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there is  
no diskette in the diskette drive. If the operating system normally loads from a  
diskette, insert the operating system diskette into the drive.  
5. Turn on the system. If the power indicator does not light, but the system seems  
to be operating normally, the indicator is probably defective. Monitor the power-on  
self test (POST) execution. Each time you turn on the system, the POST checks  
the system board, memory, keyboard, and certain peripheral devices.  
Note: If the POST does not detect any errors, the system beeps once and boots up.  
Errors that do not prevent the boot process (non-fatal errors) display a message that  
looks similar to the following:  
Error Message Line 1  
Error Message Line 2  
Press <F1> for Set-up, <F2> to Boot  
You can note the error and press <F2> to resume the boot- up process, or  
<F1> to enter Set-up.  
Errors that prevent the boot process from continuing (fatal errors), are communicated  
by a series of audible beeps. If this type of error occurs, refer to the error codes and  
messages listed at the end of this chapter.  
6. Confirm that the operating system has loaded.

Problems Operating Add-in Boards  
Problems related to add-in boards are usually related to improper board installation  
or interrupt and address conflicts. Go through the checklist below to see if you can  
correct the problem. If the problem persists after you have checked and corrected all  
of these items, contact the board vendor's customer service representative.  
Did you install the add-in board according to the manufacturer’s instructions?  
Check the documentation that came with the board. Are all cables installed properly?  
The following items are suggestions for troubleshooting problems related to PCI/ISA  
legacy (non-Plug and Play) add-in boards.  
If the PCI/ISA board uses an interrupt, run Set-up and set the interrupt that is  
being used by the PCI/ISA board to Used by PCI/ISA Card. Please refer to  
the BIOS manual for details of how to do this.  
If the PCI/ISA legacy board uses memory space between 80000H - 9FFFFH,  
run Set-up and set conventional memory to 256 K.  
If the PCI/ISA legacy board uses shared memory between C8000H - DFFFH,  
run Set-up and enable shared memory for the appropriate memory space.

BIOS Beep Codes  
If an unrecoverable hardware problem occurs the computer may emit a number of  
beeps from the speaker. These are known as beep codes. The pitch and duration  
of the beep codes may vary but there will always be a set number of beeps. These  
beeps stem from the BIOS’s initial check on the system and will normally occur in the  
first few seconds of power on.  
Beeps codes represent a terminal error. If the BIOS detects a terminal error  
condition, it outputs an error beep code, halts the POST, and attempts to display a  
port 80h code on a POST card’s LED display.

Chapter 4: System BIOS  
What is the BIOS?  
The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is an important piece of software which is  
stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) chip inside the computer. It consists of the  
basic instructions for controlling the disk drives, hard disk, keyboard and  
serial/parallel ports. The BIOS also keeps a list of the specifications of the computer  
in battery-backed RAM (also known as the CMOS RAM) and provides a special  
Setup program to change this information.  
The BIOS in your Viglen computer is guaranteed to be fully compatible with the IBM  
BIOS. It has been written by American MegaTrends Inc. (AMI), an industrial leader in  
the field of BIOS software.  
The Power-on sequence  
When the computer is first switched on, certain instructions in the BIOS are executed  
to test various parts of the machine. This is known as the POST (Power-On Self  
Test) routine. When you switch the computer on (or when you press the Reset  
button or press <Ctrl> + <Alt>+ <Delete> keys, which has the same effect), you can  
see on the monitor that it counts through the memory, testing it. The floppy disk  
drives are then accessed and tested, and the various interfaces are checked. If there  
are any errors, a message is displayed on the screen.  
Having passed all the tests, and if you have activated the password facility, the BIOS  
then asks you to enter the boot password to continue. The following section  
describes how to do this. The BIOS then loads the operating system, either - MS  
DOS, Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Pro /Home, etc. - from the hard  
disk (or floppy disk if one is inserted in Drive A:). The computer is then ready for use.

AMI BIOS  
Introduction  
The motherboard uses an AMI BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be  
upgraded using a disk-based program. In addition to the BIOS, the flash memory  
contains the Setup program, Power-On Self Test (POST), Advanced Power  
Management (APM), the PCI auto-configuration utility, and is Windows Plug and  
Play. This motherboard supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to  
execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected DRAM.  
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and the  
revision code.  
BIOS Upgrades  
A new version of the BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette using the iFLASH.EXE  
utility that is available from Intel. This utility does BIOS upgrades as follows:  
Updates the flash BIOS from a file on a disk.  
Updates the language section of the BIOS.  
Makes sure that the upgrade BIOS matches the target system to prevent  
accidentally installing a BIOS for a different type of system.  
BIOS upgrades and the AFUDOS.exe utility may be available online at  
www.viglen.co.uk or by request.  
Note: Please review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before  
attempting a BIOS upgrade.

BIOS Flash Memory Organisation  
The Intel Firmware Hub (FWH) includes a 8 Mbit flash memory device. Internally, the  
device is grouped into eight 64-KB blocks that are individually erasable, lockable,  
and unlockable.  
The 8-Mbit flash component is organised as 256 KB x 8 bits and is divided into areas  
as described in Table 27. The table shows the addresses in the ROM image in  
normal mode (the addresses change in BIOS Recovery Mode).

Plug and Play: PCI Auto-configuration  
The BIOS automatically configures PCI devices and Plug and Play devices. PCI  
devices may be onboard or add-in cards. Plug and Play devices are ISA add-in  
cards built to meet the Plug and Play specification. Auto-configuration lets a user  
insert or remove PCI or Plug and Play cards without having to configure the system.  
When a user turns on the system after adding a PCI or Plug and Play card, the BIOS  
automatically configures interrupts, the I/O space, and other system resources. Any  
interrupts set to Available in Setup are considered to be available for use by the add-  
in card.  
PCI interrupts are distributed to available ISA interrupts that have not been assigned  
to an ISA card or to system resources. The assignment of PCI interrupts to ISA  
IRQs is non-deterministic. PCI devices can share an interrupt, but an ISA device  
cannot share an interrupt allocated to PCI or to another ISA device. Auto-  
configuration information is stored in the extended system configuration data (ESCD)  
format.  
PCI IDE Support  
If Auto is selected as a primary or secondary IDE in Setup, the BIOS automatically  
sets up the two local-bus IDE connectors with independent I/O channel support. The  
IDE interface supports hard drives up to PIO Mode 4 and recognises any ATAPI  
devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape drives and Ultra DMA drives. Add-in ISA  
IDE controllers are not supported. The BIOS determines the capabilities of each  
drive and configures them so as to optimise capacity and performance. To take  
advantage of the high-capacity storage devices, hard drives are automatically  
configured for logical block addressing (LBA) and to PIO Mode 3 or 4, depending on  
the capability of the drive. To override the auto-configuration options, use the specific

IDE device options in Setup. The ATAPI specification recommends that ATAPI  
devices be configured as shown in Table 28.

Plug and Play  
If Plug and Play operating system is selected in Setup, the BIOS auto-configures  
only ISA Plug and Play cards that are required for booting (IPL devices). If Plug and  
Play operating system is not selected in Setup, the BIOS auto-configures all Plug  
and Play ISA cards.  
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)  
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is an interface for managing computers in an  
enterprise environment.  
The main component of DMI is the management  
information format (MIF) database, which contains information about the computing  
system and its components. Using DMI, a system administrator can obtain the  
system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system  
components. The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for  
accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as Intel LANDesk®  
Client Manager to use DMI. The BIOS stores and reports the following DMI  
information:  
BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level.  
Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags.  
Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed.  
Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging.  
DMI does not work directly under non-Plug and Play operating systems (e.g.,  
Windows NT). However, the BIOS supports a DMI table interface for such operating  
systems. Using this support, a DMI service-level application running on a non-Plug  
and Play OS can access the DMI BIOS information.  
Advanced Power Management (APM)  
The BIOS supports APM and standby mode. The energy saving standby mode can  
be initiated in the following ways:  
Time-out period specified in Setup.  
59  
Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Suspend/resume switch connected to the front panel sleep connector.  
From the operating system, such as the Suspend menu item in Windows 95.  
In standby mode, the motherboard reduces power consumption by using SMM  
capabilities, spinning down hard drives, and reducing power to or turning off VESA  
DPMS-compliant monitors. Power-management mode can be enabled or disabled in  
Setup.  
While in standby mode, the system retains the ability to respond to external  
interrupts and service requests, such as incoming faxes or network messages. Any  
keyboard or mouse activity brings the system out of standby mode and immediately  
restores power to the monitor.  
The BIOS enables APM by default, but the operating system must support an APM  
driver for the power-management features to work. For example, Windows 95  
supports the power-management features upon detecting that APM is enabled in the  
BIOS.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)  
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and  
Plug and Play functions of a computer. ACPI requires an ACPI-aware operating  
system. ACPI features include:  
Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) and APM functionality  
normally contained in the BIOS.  
Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards, video displays,  
and hard disk drives.  
Methods for achieving less than 30-watt system operation in the Power On  
Suspended sleeping state, and less than 5-watt system operation in the  
Suspended to Disk sleeping state.  
A soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power off the computer.  
Support for multiple wake up events.  
Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch. Table 29 describes the  
system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how  
ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system.  
Table 29: Effects of Pressing the Power Switch

Wake up  
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state  
transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power state based  
on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications.  
Devices that are not being used can be turned off. See Power Management section  
in Chapter 1, Page 28 for more information on ACPI.  
Language Support  
The Setup program and help messages can be supported in 32 languages. The  
default language is American English, which is present unless another language is  
programmed into the BIOS using the flash memory update utility.  
Boot Options  
In the Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a floppy drive, hard drive,  
CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the floppy drive to be the primary  
boot device and the hard drive to be the secondary boot device. By default the third  
and fourth devices are disabled.  
Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM  
format specification. Under the Boot menu in the Setup program, CD-ROM is listed  
as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. If the CD-ROM is  
selected as the boot device, it must be the first device.  
61  
Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from a  
network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.  
OEM Logo or Scan Area  
A 4 KB flash-memory user area at memory is for displaying a custom OEM logo  
during POST.  
USB Support  
The USB connectors allow any of several USB devices to be attached to the  
computer. Typically, the device driver for USB devices is managed by the operating  
system. However, because keyboard and mouse support may be needed in the  
Setup program before the operating system boots, the BIOS supports USB  
keyboards and mice.  
BIOS Setup Access  
Access to the Setup program can be restricted using passwords. User and  
supervisor passwords can be set using the Security menu in Setup. The default is  
no passwords enabled.

Configuring the Motherboard using BIOS Setup  
Before You Begin  
CAUTION!  
Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.  
Set up a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial  
numbers, installed options, and configuration information.  
Use an anti-static wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when working on the  
motherboard.  
WARNINGS  
The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology  
associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory  
compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.  
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications  
links, networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in  
this chapter. Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or  
modems before you open the computer or perform any procedures can result in  
personal injury or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the motherboard may  
continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off.  
CAUTION!  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures  
described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not  
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap  
and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.  
Setting the Processor Speed  
There is no need to set the processor speed as this is automatically set by the BIOS.  
Check the BIOS utility Advanced sub menu CPU Configuration for the correct  
detection for the CPU or CPU’s installed in the motherboard.  
Note: The BIOS does allow changing of the CPU clock ratio, we do not recommend  
the use of this option.  
Clearing the Passwords  
Note: Passwords can be cleared individually from the normal BIOS Utility setup  
mode if the password to be changed is known, if no passwords have been set they  
can be set as described later in this section.

Upgrading the BIOS  
This chapter describes how to upgrade the BIOS.  
Preparing for the Upgrade  
Before you upgrade the BIOS, prepare for the upgrade by recording the current  
BIOS settings, obtaining the upgrade utility, and making a copy of the current BIOS.  
Obtaining the Upgrade Utility  
You can upgrade to a new version of the BIOS using the new BIOS files and the  
BIOS upgrade utility, iFLASH.EXE. You can obtain the BIOS upgrade file and the  
iFLASH.EXE utility through your computer supplier or from the Intel World Wide Web  
site:  
http://www.viglen.co.uk  
Note: Please review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before  
attempting a BIOS upgrade.  
This upgrade utility allows you to:  
Upgrade the BIOS in flash memory.  
Update the language section of the BIOS.  
The following steps explain how to upgrade the BIOS.  
STEP ONE: Recording the Current BIOS Settings  
1. Boot the computer and press <Del> when you see the message:  
Press <Del> Key to run BIOS SETUP UTILITY  
Note: Do not skip step 2. You will need these settings to configure your computer at  
the end of the procedure.  
2. Write down the current settings in the BIOS Setup program.  
102  
Vig390s Motherboard Manual V1.0  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
STEP TWO: Creating a Bootable Floppy Diskette  
1. Use a DOS or Windows 95/98 system to create the floppy disk.  
2. Insert a floppy disk in floppy drive A.  
3. At the C:\ prompt, for an unformatted floppy disk, type:  
format a:/s  
Or, for a formatted floppy disk, type:  
sys a:  
4. Press <Enter>  
STEP THREE: Creating the BIOS Upgrade Floppy Diskette  
The BIOS upgrade file is a compressed self-extracting archive that contains the files  
you need to upgrade the BIOS.  
1. Copy the BIOS upgrade file to a temporary directory on your hard disk.  
2. From the C:\ prompt, change to the temporary directory.  
3. To extract the file, type the name of the BIOS upgrade file, for example:  
Vig390s-BIOS.zip  
4. Press <Enter>. The extracted file contains the following files:  
README.TXT  
afdos.exe  
vig390-0123.rom (example)  
5. Read the README.TXT file, which contains the instructions for the BIOS  
upgrade.  
6. Insert the bootable floppy disk into drive A.  
7. Extract the three files and copy to the floppy disk.  
8. The floppy disk now holds the BIOS upgrade and recovery files.  
Upgrading the BIOS  
1. Boot the computer with the floppy disk in drive A.  
2. At the DOS prompt type:  
Afudos /i (biosfilename) /pbnc  
e.g. A:\afudos /I vig390s-0123.rom /pbnc  
3. Now press <Enter> .  
4. The utility will verify the BIOS file and start updating the BIOS.

5. An example is shown below of BIOS upgrade utility running.  
Warning: DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE SYSTEM WHILE THE BIOS IS BEING  
UPGRADED.  
Figure 56: BIOS Upgrading  
6. Once the utility has finished as shown bellow shut down the system.  
Figure 57: BIOS Update Complete  
7. Power on the system an press <Del> to enter the BIOS setup utility.  
8. Load BIOS defaults from the exit menu and set any options required as noted  
before upgrading the BIOS.  
9. Now “Save and Exit the BIOS Setup Utility.  
10. The BIOS has now been upgraded.

Chapter 5: Technical Information  
Note: This chapter is indented for experienced users only, and only to be used as a  
reference. Changes to or modify any of the components/ connectors listed herein  
can and will seriously damage your system, including the motherboard, CPU and/or  
any other hardware.  
You do not need to read this chapter to configure your motherboard. If you are not  
sure about the details listed herein, please skip and disregard them.  
Enhanced IDE  
IDE has been used in computer systems for some time, and has been a cheap  
solution to data storage. It has now been realised that traditional IDE has its  
limitations and thus needed to be improved. This was where Enhanced IDE came  
from. The main developments to the IDE interface are:  
Support hard drives of capacity greater than 528MB. This is achieved through  
BIOS changes.  
Improved data transfer rates. Transfer rates of 1-3MB/sec were the best to be  
expected from older IDE drives. With local bus technology this increased to about  
6MB/sec. Now with multimedia applications, requiring vast amounts of  
information, even faster transfers rates were needed. Now drives with Enhanced  
IDE controllers can deliver up to 13MB/sec which is in the region of SCSI-2  
performance.  
Dual-IDE channels have now been added which allows up to four IDE drives to be  
supported by the system. Each channel supporting two IDE devices.  
Non disk IDE peripherals have been developed (IDE CD-ROMs, IDE tape  
streamers) which can be simply attached to the one channel requiring no special  
hardware (requiring the use of an ISA slot) or complicated drivers. This is a  
standard interface meaning that any IDE CD-ROM or tape streamer can be  
attached.

Operating Systems and Hard Drives  
Standard CHS is the translation that has been used for years. Its use limits IDE  
capacity to maximum of 528MB regardless of the size of the drive used.  
Logical Block mode overcomes the 528MB maximum size limitation imposed by the  
Standard CHS mode. It should be used only when the drive supports LBA (Logical  
Block Addressing), and the OS supports LBA, or uses the BIOS to access the disk.  
Extended CHS mode also overcomes the 528MB maximum size limitation imposed  
by Standard CHS mode. It can be used with drives which are larger than 528MB that  
do not support LBA.  
Auto Detected allows the BIOS to examine the drive and determine the optimal  
mode. The first choice is to utilise Logical Block mode if it is supported by the drive.  
The second choice is to utilise Extended CHS mode if the drive topology allows. If  
neither of the above methods is possible, the Standard CHS mode is used.  
Different operating systems have different abilities regarding IDE translation mode.  
UNIX operating systems (as currently implemented) do not support either LBA or  
ECHS and must utilise the standard CHS method. UNIX can support drives larger  
than 528MB, but does so in its own way.  
OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 Warp can support LBA, ECHS or standard CHS methods. Note  
that LBA support may require a switch setting on an OS/2 driver in order to operate  
in that mode.  
OS/2 2.0 & Novel NetWare can support either ECHS or standard CHS methods. In  
order to use LBA with NetWare a driver that supports current parameters must be  
used.OS/2 2.0 does not support LBA.  
DOS & Windows can use LBA, ECHS or standard CHS methods. The '32-bit Disk  
Access' driver built into Windows WDCTRL.386 can only be used with the standard  
CHS method, To use either LBA or ECHS method and '32-bit Disk Access' an  
alternative .386 driver must be installed, this combination will also provide the best  
performance. If this driver is not installed and the drive fitted to the system supports  
Type F DMA on the ISA interface or Mode 3 on the PCI interface then higher  
performance will be achieved by NOT using '32-bit Disk Access'.

Power Supply Connector  
When used with an SSI ATX-compliant power supply that supports remote power  
on/off, the motherboard can turn off the system power through software control.  
To enable soft-off control in software, advanced power management must be  
enabled in the Setup program and in the operating system. When the system BIOS  
receives the correct APM command from the operating system, the BIOS turns off  
power to the computer.  
With soft-off enabled, if power to the computer is interrupted by a power outage or a  
disconnected power cord, when power resumes, the computer returns to the power  
state it was in before power was interrupted (on or off).

Other Information  
Reliability  
The mean time between failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component  
and subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Bellcore  
Reliability Prediction Procedure, TR-NWT-000332, Issue 4, September 1991.  
The MTBF prediction is for:  
Redesigning the motherboard for alternate components if failure rates  
exceed reliability expectations.  
Estimating repair rates and spare parts requirements.  
MTBF data is calculated from predicted data @ 55 °C.  
The MTBF prediction for the motherboard is 112,977. 7547 hours.

Chapter 6: Glossary  
Advanced Dynamic Execution  
Part of the Pentium® 4 processor's Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture. Improved  
branch prediction algorithm accelerates the flow of work to the processor and helps  
overcome the deeper pipeline. Very deep, out-of-order speculative execution allows  
the processor to view 126 instructions in flight and handle up to 48 loads and 24  
stores in the pipeline. A 4 KB branch target buffer stores more detail on the history of  
past branches, reducing inaccurate branch predictions by roughly 33% (when  
compared to P6 micro-architecture).  
Advance Transfer Cache (Level 2 Advance Transfer Cache)  
The 256 KB Level 2 Advance Transfer Cache (ATC) delivers a much higher data  
throughput channel between the Level 2 cache and the processor core. 512 KB L2  
Advance Transfer Cache is available on 0.13 micron technology Pentium® 4  
processors, while 0.18 micron technology Pentium 4 processors utilise a 256 KB L2  
Advance Transfer Cache. Features of the ATC include: Non-Blocking, full speed, on-  
die level 2 cache, 8-way set association, 512-bit or 256-bit data bus to the level 2  
cache, data clocked into and out of the cache every clock cycle.  
BIOS  
(Basic Input Output System) This is software stored on a chip and consists of the  
instructions necessary for the computer to function. The System BIOS contains the  
instructions for the keyboard, disk drives etc., and the VGA BIOS controls the VGA  
graphics card.  
CPU  
Central Processing Unit. This is the main piece of equipment on the motherboard.  
The CPU processes data, tells memory what to store and the video card what to  
display.  
Default  
The configuration of the system when it is switched on or the standard settings  
before any changes are made.  
DIMM  
Dual In-Line Memory Module, a type of memory module used for the systems main  
memory.  
Driver  
A piece of software which is used by application software to control some special  
features. Each graphics board and printer requires its own driver.  
D-Type  
A common type of connector used for connecting printers, serial ports, game port,  
and many other types of interface.

DRAM  
Dynamic Ram used for main system memory, providing a moderately fast but cheap  
storage solution.  
Enhanced Floating Point and Multimedia Unit  
Part of the Pentium® 4 processor's Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture. An  
expanded 128-bit floating point register and an additional register for data movement  
improves performance on floating-point and multimedia applications.  
Execution Trace Cache (Level 1 Execution Trace Cache)  
Part of the Pentium® 4 processor's Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture. In addition  
to the 8 KB data cache, the Pentium 4 processor includes an Execution Trace Cache  
that stores up to 12 K decoded micro-ops in the order of program execution. This  
increases performance by removing the decoder from the main execution loop and  
makes more efficient usage of the cache storage space since instructions that are  
branched around are not stored. As a result, a high volume of instructions are  
delivered to the processor's execution units and the overall time required to recover  
from erroneous branch predictions is decreased.  
FDC  
Floppy Disk Controller - the interface for connecting floppy disk drives to the  
computer.  
Hercules  
A monochrome graphics video mode which first appeared in the Hercules graphics  
card. Provides a resolution of 720 by 348 pixels.  
Hyper-Pipelined Technology  
Part of the Pentium® 4 processor's Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture. Hyper-  
pipelined technology doubles the pipeline depth of the Pentium® III processor's P6  
micro-architecture, increasing the branch prediction and recovery pipeline to 20  
stages. The deeper pipeline enables instructions to be queued and executed at the  
fastest-possible rate, increasing performance, frequency, and scalability.  
IDE  
Integrated Drive Electronics - currently the most popular type of interface for hard  
disk drives. Much of the circuitry previously required on hard disk controller cards is  
now integrated on the hard disk itself.  
Interface  
The electronics providing a connection between two pieces of equipment. For  
example, a printer interface connects a computer to a printer.  
Interlace  
The mode the graphics card uses to refresh a monitor screen. When the graphics is  
in interlace mode, the frequency of the display update is lower than in non-interlace  
mode. This causes a slight flicker, so generally non-interlaced mode is better if the  
monitor supports it.

Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions  
Consists of 70 instructions and includes single instruction, multiple data for floating-  
point, additional SIMD-integer and cache ability control instructions. Benefits include  
higher resolution image viewing and manipulation, high quality audio, MPEG2 video,  
and simultaneous MPEG2 encoding and decoding, reduced CPU utilisation for  
speech recognition, and higher accuracy and faster response times  
L.E.D.  
Light Emitting Diode - a light which indicates activity - for example hard disk access.  
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)  
Developed by Intel, PCI is a local bus standard. A bus is a channel used to transfer  
data to (input) and from (output) a computer and to or from a peripheral device. Most  
PCs have a PCI bus usually implemented at 32-bits providing a 33 MHz clock speed  
with a throughput rate of 133 MBps.  
NetBurst® micro-architecture (Intel NetBurst® micro-architecture)  
The NetBurst® micro-architecture delivers a number of new and innovative features  
including Hyper Pipelined Technology, 400 MHz System Bus, Execution Trace  
Cache, and Rapid Execution Engine. It also delivers a number of enhanced features,  
including Advanced Transfer Cache, Advanced Dynamic Execution, Enhanced  
Floating Point and Multimedia Unit, and Streaming SIMD Extensions 2. Intel  
NetBurst® Microarchitecture provides higher throughput within the processor and out  
to memory and I/O for improved headroom.  
PCI  
Peripheral Component Interface. It became apparent to manufacturers that the  
8MHz AT ISA BUS on the standard PC was just not fast enough for today's  
applications, and so PCI was invented. It is a high speed data bus that carries  
information to and from components - known as 'Local Bus'.  
PCI-X  
The 64-bit PCI-X interface (PCI-X 1.0a) can be operated at 133 MHz, (or at 100 MHz  
and 66 MHz) which achieves a greater than two-fold boost in performance over PCI  
2.2 bus technology. The 133 MHz PCI-X interface achieves up to 1 GB/s throughput,  
a two-fold increase over 66 MHz PCI 2.2.  
PCI-Express  
PCI Express is a 3rd generation I/O architecture where ISA and PCI were  
respectively the 1st and 2nd generations. A high-speed, general-purpose serial I/O  
interconnect, PCI Express will initially offers speeds of 2.5 Gigabits per second,  
support multiple widths ("lanes" of data that range from 1 to 32), and scale to the  
limits of copper. PCI Express will unify I/O architecture for desktop, mobile, server,  
communications platforms, workstations and embedded devices while also  
coexisting with PCI and USB connection types

RAM  
Random Access Memory - the memory used by the computer for running programs  
and storing data.  
ROM  
Read Only Memory - a memory chip which doesn't lose its data when the system is  
switched off. It is used to store the System BIOS and VGA BIOS instructions. It is  
slower than RAM.  
Rapid Execution Engine  
Part of the Pentium® 4 processor's Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture. Two  
Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) are clocked at twice the core processor frequency,  
allowing basic integer instructions such as Add, Subtract, Logical AND, and Logical  
OR to execute in half of a clock cycle. For example, the Rapid Execution Engine on  
a 1.50 GHz Pentium 4 processor runs at 3 GHz.  
S-ATA (Serial ATA)  
Serial ATA is the next-generation internal storage interconnect designed to replace  
Parallel ATA technology. Serial ATA is the proactive evolution of the ATA interface  
from a parallel bus to a serial bus architecture. This architecture overcomes many  
design and usage constraints that are increasing the difficulty of continued speed  
enhancements for the classic parallel ATA bus. Serial ATA will be introduced at  
150Mbytes/sec, with a roadmap already planned through 600Mbytes/sec.  
Shadow Memory  
The BIOS is normally stored in ROM. On certain systems it can be copied to RAM on  
power up to make it go faster. This RAM is known as shadow memory. The System  
BIOS is responsible for this copying.  
SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions)  
Internet Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) Extensions are  
instructions that reduce the overall number of instructions required to execute a  
particular program task. As a result, they can boost performance by accelerating a  
broad range of applications, including video, speech, and image, photo processing,  
encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications. NetBurst® micro-  
architecture adds 144 new SSE instructions, which are known as SSE2.  
Streaming SIMD Extensions 3  
Better multimedia and encryption/decryption processing than previous generations,  
along with support for more computationally intensive graphics.  
Super VGA  
Additional screen modes and capabilities provided over and above the standard  
VGA defined by IBM.  
VGA  
Video Graphics Array - the graphics standard defined by IBM and provided on IBM's  
PS/2 machines.
