To compliment the Intel ® Celeron processor, the Intel ® 810 chipsets

delivers a balanced platform solution for value computing. The 810

chipset is a highly-integrated three-chip solution consisting of a Graphics

& Memory Controller (Intel 82810), an I/O Controller (Intel82801), and a

Firmware Hub (Intel 82802).

The ICH is a highly integrated multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that

provides the interface to the PCI Bus and integrates many of the functions

needed in today PC platforms. The ICH communicates with the host

controller over a dedicated hub interface. There are two versions of the

ICH (82801AA: ICH and 82801AB: ICH0). These devices are pin

compatible and are in 241-pin packages.

The Intel ® 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) component is part of the Intel ®

810 chipset. The FWH is key to enabling future security and

manageabilily infrastructures for the PC platform.

Intel has developed technology that enhances the performance and

exceptional value of the Intel ® Celeron™processor-powered PC. Built on

the strong foundation of Intel ® 440BX AGPset technology, the Intel ® 810

chipset has re-engineered the Value PC, providing next generation features

Motherboard Description

SY-7IWA-F

1-7.3 IDE Support

The motherboard has two independent bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces.

These interfaces support PIO Mode3, PIO Mode 4, ATAPI devices (e.g.,

CD-ROM), and Ultra DMA/33 synchronous-DMA mode transfers. The

BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and extended cylinder head

sector (ECHS) translation modes. The BIOS automatically detects the IDE

device transfer rate and translation mode.

Programmed I/O operations usually require a substantial amount of

processor bandwidth. However, in multitasking operating systems, the

bandwidth freed by bus mastering IDE can be devoted to other tasks while

disk transfers are occurring.

The motherboard also supports laser servo (LS-120) drives. LS-120

technology allows the user to perform read/write operations to LS-120

(120MB) and conventional 1.44MB and 720KB diskettes. An optical

servo system is used to precisely position a dual-gap head to access the

diskett’ s 2,490 tracks per inch (tpi) containing up to 120 MB of data

storage. A conventional diskette uses 135 tpi for 1.44 MB of data storage.

LS-120 drivers are ATAPI-compatible and connect to the motherboard’ s

IDE interface. (LS-120 drives are also available with SCJSI and parallel

port interfaces.) Some versions of Windows 95 and Windows NT

operating systems recognize the LS-120 drive as a bootable device in both

120 MB and 1.44 MB mode.

Connection of an LS-120 drive and a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive is

allowed. The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device if selected

as Drive A in the BIOS setup program.

¿Note

If you connect at LS-120 drive to an IDE connector and configure it as

the :boot: drive and configure a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive as a “B”

drive, the standard diskette drive is not seen by the operating system.

When the LS-120 drive is configured as the “boot: device, the system will

recognize it as both the A and B drive

2-3.4 Jumper Setting

Step 1. Set J6 &JP2 to configure CPU FSB Frequency

If the user wants to use the CPU at its standard FSB (Front Side Bus)

Frequency, J6 has to be closed. This will make sure the system will

provide the CPU with the FSB Frequency it was specified to run at. Make

sure that JP2 is open when using this setting.

If the user wants to run the CPU at another (higher) FSB frequency

however, J6 has to be open. In this case use JP2 to set the FSB frequency.

Auto Mode

Description

Run the CPU at its specified FSB

frequency.

JP2

For 66MHz FSB CPUs 66/75/83 MHz can

be selected in the BIOS.

For 100MHz FSB CPUs 100~133MHz can

be selected in the BIOS.

Step 2. Set JP9 for FWH Boot Block Write-Protect

Setting this jumper to open will prevent the boot block area of the FWH

(FirmWare Hub) chip from being written data into such that it is write-

protected from unwanted or abnormal write activity.

Note: In some rare cases, the boot block area will need to be flashed to

complete the BIOS upgrade procedure. Setting JP9 to open will cause

incomplete BIOS update in that case.

2-3.8 Troubleshooting at First Start

What should I do if the Motherboard refuses to start?

1. Check that all DIMM memory modules are inserted completely.

Sometimes a DIMM that is not inserted properly can cause boot

problems.

2. Check whether all Add-on cards have been inserted properly. Re-

insert the Add-on cards to make sure that they make proper contact

with the slots. Try removing all Add-on cards one by one to see

whether or not one of them is causing problems. (Switch the system

off before removing any of the cards.

3. Verify that speed settings are not exceeding specifications. This

applies to the PCI bus, that is specified to run at 33 MHz. Also check

the speed setting for the memory, make sure conservative setting is

used. If the CPU is overclocked the system may not start up, read the

section below.

4. Make sure that the Harddisk IDE cables are attached properly, if not

the system will not boot. In case of doubt try reversing the IDE

connector on one end of the cable.

5. Verify that the 110/220V switch on the back of the power supply is

set correctly.

6. Go through the jumper setting section again to make sure that all

jumpers are set correctly.
