Installation  
This chapter describes how to set up the  
main board hardware, including instruc-  
tions on setting jumpers and connecting  
peripherals, switches, and indicators. Be  
sure to read all the safety precautions  
before you begin the installation proce-  
dure.

SBC-776  
Safety precautions  
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from  
your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do  
not make connections while the power is on  
because sensitive electronic components can be  
damaged by the sudden rush of power.Only  
experienced electronics personnel should open the  
PC chassis.  
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge  
before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic  
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.  
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all  
electronic components on a static-dissipative surface  
or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the  
chassis.  
Removing the CPU  
The SBC-776 all-in-one CPU module supports most Pentium III/  
Celeron or 586 CPUs. The system's performance depends on the  
CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's  
PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below. If your  
system has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing  
the new CPU.  
Removing a CPU  
1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections  
to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis  
by following the instructions in the user's manual for your  
chassis.  
2. Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be  
difficult to remove. You may find spray chip lubricant, designed  
for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful.  
These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores.

Installing A CPU  
To install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no  
documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing  
a CPU are outlined below:  
1. Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices.  
This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces  
the chance of damaging the pins and other components.  
2. Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket. Make  
sure that the notch on the corner of the CPU matches the notch  
on the inside of the socket.  
3. Gently push the CPU into the socket. There will probably be a  
small gap between the CPU and the socket even when it is fully  
seated. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE!  
When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other  
settings on the board, such as CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI  
speed, to accommodate it. Make sure that the settings are correct  
for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU.

SBC-776  
Installing DRAM (DIMMs)  
System Memory  
The SBC-776 contains three sockets for 168-pin dual inline memory  
module (DIMM). The socket uses 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous  
DRAM (SDRAM). DIMM is available in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128  
or 256 MB. The socket can be filled in the DIMM of any size,  
giving your SBC-776 single board computer between 16 and 512  
MB of memory.  
Supplementary information about DIMM  
SBC-776 can accept PC-133 SDRAM DIMM Module(with or  
without parity).  
Single-sided modules are typically 16 or 64 MB; double-sided  
modules are usually 32, 128 or 256 MB.  
Memory Installation Procedures  
To install DIMM, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM  
socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles remain outward.  
Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both  
ends of the socket. Then press the DIMM module right down into  
the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles  
have automatically locked the memory module into the correct  
position of the DIMM socket. (See Figure below) To take away the  
memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory  
module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

Function Select Header (JP 6)  
Next you may want to install external switches to monitor and  
control the mainboard. These features are completely optional —  
install them only if you need them. The front panel connector (JP6)  
is an 16-pin male, dual in-line header and provides connections for  
a speaker, hard disk access indicator and an input switch for  
resetting the card.  
Speaker  
The mainboard can drive an 8Ω external speaker at 0.5 watts. If  
there is no external speaker, the SBC-776 provides an onboard  
buzzer as an alternative.  
LED interfa ce  
The front panel LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low  
signal (24 mA sink rate).

VGA conne ctor (CN6)  
The mainboard's PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT  
displays and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel  
displays, including electroluminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive  
LCD, and active LCD displays. The board has two connectors to  
support these displays, one for standard CRT VGA monitors and  
one for flat panel displays.  
VGA display connector (CN6)  
CN6 is a 15-pin, dual-in-line header used for conventional CRT  
displays. A simple one-to-one adapter can be used to match CN6 to  
a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA.

Award BIOS Setup  
This chapter describes how to configure  
the BIOS for the system.  
42 SBC-776 User Manual  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Starting setup  
The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on  
the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in  
CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system  
and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST).  
When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating  
system on one of the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive,  
etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands control of  
system operations to it.  
During POST, you can start the Setup program in one of two ways:  
1.By pressing Del immediately after switching the system on, or  
2.By pressing Del or pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc when the following  
message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during POST:  
TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS DEL KEY  
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to  
enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then  
ON or pressing the RESET button on the system case. You may  
also restart by simultaneously pressing Ctr-Alt-Del. If you do not  
press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an  
error message appears and you are again asked to  
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

In Ca se of Proble m s  
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you  
discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the Award  
BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your  
system to its default configuration.  
You can invoke this override by immediately pressing Insert; when  
you restart your computer. You can restart by either using the ON/  
OFF switch, the RESET button or by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.  
The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly  
understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset  
screen without a good reason. The Chipset defaults have been  
carefully chosen by Award Software or your system manufacturer  
for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small  
change to the Chipset setup may cause the system to become  
unstable.

HARD DISKS  
The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not  
show information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM  
drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives.  
NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.  
48 SBC-776 User Manual  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal  
operating mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select  
type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications  
If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of  
selecting the drive type are available:  
1.Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with  
the preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45.  
2.Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.  
3.Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup.  
Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:  
Type: The BIOS contains a table of predefined drive types. Each  
defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders,  
number of heads, write precompensation factor, landing  
zone, and number of sectors. Drives whose specifications  
do not accommodate any predefined type are classified as  
type USER.  
Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is  
usually slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk  
given by a disk-checking program.  
Cyls: Number of cylinders  
Head: Number of heads  
Precomp: Write precompensation cylinder  
Landz: Landing zone  
Sector: Number of sectors  
Mode: Auto, Normal, Large, or LBA  
- Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.  
- Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors  
supported are 1024, 16, and 63.  
- Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more  
than 1024 cylinders.  
Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 49  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
- LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, the  
IDE controller transforms the data address described by  
sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address,  
significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives with greater  
than 1024 cylinders.

Halt On  
During the power-on-self-test (POST), the computer stops if the  
BIOS detects a hardware error. You can tell the BIOS to ignore  
certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process.  
These are the selections:  
No errors: POST does not stop for any errors.  
All errors If: the BIOS detects any nonfatal error, POST  
stops and prompts you to take corrective action.  
All, But Keyboard: POST does not stop for a keyboard  
error, but stops for all other errors  
All, But Diskette: POST does not stop for diskette drive  
errors, but stops for all other errors.  
All, But Disk/Key: POST does not stop for a keyboard or  
disk error, but stops for all other errors.  
Memory  
You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only  
for your information. The fields show the total installed random  
access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base memory,  
extended memory, and other (high) memory. RAM is counted in  
kilobytes (KB: approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes  
(MB: approximately one million bytes).  
RAM is the computer's working memory, where the computer  
stores programs and data currently being used, so they are accessi-  
ble to the CPU. Modern personal computers may contain up to 64  
MB, 128 MB, or more.  
Base Memory  
Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS  
operating system and conventional applications use this area.  
Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 51  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Extended Memory  
Above the 1-MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could  
not use memory above 1 MB, but current PCs and their software  
can use extended memory.  
Other Memory  
Between 640 KB and 1 MB; often called High memory. DOS may  
load, terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs, such as device  
drivers, in this area, to free as much conventional memory as  
possible for applications. Lines in your CONFIG.SYS file that start  
with LOADHIGH, load programs into high memory.

Virus Warning  
When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program  
(specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the  
partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an anti-  
virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot  
sector, not the entire hard drive.  
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector  
table can trigger the virus warning message. If you plan to run  
such a program, we recommend that you first disable the virus  
warning.

CPU Internal Cache/External Cache  
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than  
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up  
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs  
have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests  
data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM  
into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU.  
The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not  
have external cache memory.  
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking  
When you select Enabled, memory checking is enable when the  
external cache contains ECC SRAMs.  
Processor Number Feature  
This option is for Pentium III processor. During Enabled, this will  
check the CPU Serial number. Disabled this option if you don't  
want the system to know the serial number.  
Quick Power On Self Test  
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the  
power-on-self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We  
recommend that you normally disable quick POST. Better to find a  
problem during POST than lose data during your work.  
First/Second/Third/Fourth Boot Device

Swap Floppy Drive  
This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives.  
Selecting enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and  
physical drive A to logical drive B.  
Boot Up Floppy Seek  
When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine  
whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives  
have 40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB  
capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have  
40-track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to  
Disabled to save time.  
Boot Up NumLock Status  
Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key  
when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad  
generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations.  
Gate A20 Option  
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1  
MB (extended memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset  
controls Gate A20. When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard  
controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves  
system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.

Onboard Serial Ports (1, 2)  
Normally, the main board’s I/O chips will occupy a certain portion  
of memory space. For each I/O device the computer provides an  
I/O address. The more devices attached the more address needed  
to organize the memory storage areas. If all the I/O devices were  
run through the same address, your devices would come to a near  
halt. By providing the end user with four serial ports this allows  
devices to run more efficiently if needed. Also the corresponding  
interrupt needs to be selected.
