Setting jumpers You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
CPU installation and upgrading You can upgrade to a higher power Pentium processor at any time. Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and set the jumpers for the new CPU type and speed. Warning! Caution! Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis when you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on as sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and won‘t damage the CPU. When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the side of the socket. NOTE: To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out the CPU chip. When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board settings, such as CPU type and CPU clock.
Frequency Ratio (J5) This jumper sets the frequency ratio between the internal frequency of the CPU and the BUS Clock. If you use an AMD K6 CPU, please refer to J5 frequency ratio for K6 only. J5 Frequency Ratio** 2 2 5 6 2.5* 1 1.5*** 45 63 3 F.R. 2 1 3 45 6 3 45 63 2 4 1 2 1 4 J5 3 4 3 4 3 3 4 * Default setting ** Jumper settings for pins 1 and 2 do not affect this setting *** For Intel 233 MHz MMX CPUs, F.R. is 3.5 for this setting J5 Frequency Ratio for K6 only F.R.
MTXC CLK Setting/P55C Enabled (J7) This jumper setting provides Intel MTXC chipset 66/60 MHz frequency. You can Enable/Disable P55C CPUs with pin 1 and pin 2 close/open. J7 MTXC CLK Setting 66 Hz* 60 Hz 3 4 3 4 J7 J7 P55C Enabled/Disabled Enabled* Disabled J7 1 2 1 2 * default setting Clock Setting (J8) J8 must be set together with J5 jumper to match the CPU internal frequency. The clock frequency times the Frequency Ratio equals the CPU’s internal frequency. J8 Clock Setting CPU PCI 55 27.
Battery Select and Clear CMOS (J9) This jumper sets the CMOS data retention power supply by internal battery, external battery, or clear CMOS. J9 Battery Select J9 Internal Battery* 1 2 3 4 External Battery 1 2 3 4 Clear CMOS 1 2 3 4 * default setting SCSI Select (J10) (SBC-599 only) This jumper sets the data transfered by SCSI to 16-bit (Wide SCSI enabled) or 8-bit (Wide SCSI disabled).
LCD/EL Select (J13) This jumper sets the display type for the CPU card. J13 LCD/EL Select EL LCD* J13 1 2 3 1 2 3 * default setting Dual Power Select (J15) This jumper sets single power/dual power CPU type. Current Intel CPUs marked “Pentium” have only a single power plane and those marked “Pentium with MMX” have dual power planes.
Installing DRAM (SIMMs) The SBC-599 CPU card provides four 72-pin SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module) sockets and supports either Fast Page Mode (FPM) or Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM with a speed of 70 ns or faster. You can install up to 256 MB of RAM. Installing SIMMs NOTE 1: Pentium or compatible processors adopt 64 bit data bus. Since 72-pin SIMM can only provide 32 bit data bus width, two SIMM modules are required as one memory bank, and both SIMMs must be the same size and type. 1.
Front panel connectors (CN1,CN2,CN3,CN4) You may want to install external switches to monitor and control the SBC-596/599. These features are optional —install them only if you need them. The front panel connectors include a speaker connector (CN1), a HDD LED connector (CN2), an input switch (CN3) for resetting the card, and a keyboard lock connector (CN4). Speaker connector (CN1) The SBC-596/599 can drive an 8 W speaker at 0.5 watts. Ensure that alternatives to this specification do not overload the card.
Fan power supply connector (CN5) CN5 provides power supply to optional CPU cooling fan. Only present when +12 V power is supplied to the board. SCSI connectors (CN6, CN7) (SBC-599 only) The SBC-599 has a 50-pin, dual-in-line connector for Ultra SCSI devices and a 68-pin, dual-in-line connector for Ultra Wide SCSI devices. Connection of SCSI devices requires special attention, especially when determining the last drive on the SCSI chain.
1. Connect one end of the cable to CN8/CN9. Make sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector. 2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard drive, with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the connector.) Connect a second drive as described above. Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the cable.
Connecting the floppy drive 1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN10. Make sure that the red wire corresponds to pin one on the connector. 2. Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable to the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the set. The set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: drive. 3.
VGA interface connections (SBC-599 only) The SBC-599 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. CRT connector (CN16) CN16 is a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA.
LCD power select 5V *3.3 V J12 * default setting Configuration of the VGA interface is done completely via the software utility. You don’t have to set any jumpers. Refer to Chapter 3 for software setup details. Refer to Chapter 3 for details on connecting the four standard LCD’s: Sharp LM64183P, LM64P89, Toshiba LTM10C042, Sharp 64C142, and Planar EL Display. Keyboard connectors (CN12, CN19) The SBC-596/599 board provides two keyboard connectors.
COM-port connectors (CN13, CN17) The SBC-596/599 has two serial ports, COM1 and COM2, to provide connections for serial devices (a mouse, etc.) or a communication network. You can find the pin assignments for the COM port connectors in Appendix B. The IRQ and the address range for COM1, 2, are fixed. However, if you wish to disable the port or change these parameters later you can do this in the system BIOS setup. The table below shows the settings for the SBC-599 Series serial ports.
USB connectors (CN18, CN20) The SBC-596/599 provides two USB (Universal Serial Bus) interfaces which gives complete plug and play, hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification rev. 1.0 and are fuse protected. The USB interfaces are accessed through two 5-pin flat-cable connectors, CN18 and CN20. You will need an adapter cable if you use a standard USB connector. The adapter cable has a 5-pin connector on one end and an USB connector on the other.
Watchdog timer configurationon An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves one jumper and running the control software (refer to Appendix A). Watchdog select (J14) When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a halt), it can reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ11.
CHAPTER Software Configuration 3 This chapter details the software configuration information. It shows you how to configure the card to match your application requirements. AWARD System BIOS is covered in Chapter 4.

CHAPTER 5 PCI SVGA Setup (SBC-599 only) The SBC-599 features an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA interface. This chapter provides instructions for installing and operating the software drivers on the included Supporting CD-ROM.
Before you begin To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display device drivers and utility software, you should read the instructions in this chapter carefully before you attempt installation. The enhanced display drivers for the SBC-599 board are located on the software installation diskette. You must install the drivers and utility software by using the supplied SETUP program for DOS drivers NOTE: THE FILES ON THE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION DISKETTE ARE COMPRESSED.
Installation The drivers include Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT drivers, and OS/2 drivers. Simultaneous display mode The 65550 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. It also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (VGA color and VGA monochrome) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported.
Sleep mode The display driver contains two files that support sleep mode. Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt: ON.COM switches to normal display mode. OFF.COM switches to sleep mode. Driver installation Necessary prerequisites The instructions in this manual assume that you understand elementary concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer.
Before you begin The display driver contains drivers for several versions of certain applications. You must install the correct version in order for the driver to work properly so make sure you know which version of the application you have. Windows setup These drivers are designed to work with Microsoft Windows 3.1. You may install these drivers through Windows or in DOS. Step 1: Install Windows as you normally would for a VGA display. Run Windows to make sure that it is working correctly.
Changing Color Schemes After you change display drivers, you may notice that the color scheme used by Windows looks strange. This is because different drivers have different default colors. To change the color scheme, select the Control Panel from the Main window. Select the Color icon. You will be shown the current color scheme. Choose a new color scheme and click the OK button.
Windows 95 Drivers Setup Procedure 1. Boot system with VGA or SuperVGA driver. 2. Select properties from a menu after right button press. 3. Select display. 4. Select Change Display. 5. Select Change Monitor. 6. Select Change Adapter. 7. Select Have Disk.

Choose the Display icon and click on the icon. 4. In the Display Properties window, click on the Settings tab. 5. Click on Change Display Type. In the Change Display Type window, click on the Change button under Adapter Type. This will bring up the Select Device window. Step 2 1.
OS/2 Drivers Setup Procedure Preliminary Steps The following steps must be performed before you install the 65550/554 display driver: 1. OS/2 DOS Support must be installed. 2. If you previously installed SVGA support, you must reset the system to VGA mode. VGA is the default video mode enabled when OS/2 is installed. To restore VGA mode, use Selective Install and select VGA for Primary Display.
A log of the information output during the install can be found in :\OS2\INSTALL\DISPLAY.LOG 4. After restarting the system, perform the following steps: 1). Open the OS/2 System folder. 2). Open the System Setup folder. 3). Open the Display Driver Install Object This step will execute the Display Driver Installation (DSPINSTL) utility program to finish installation of the new drivers. 4). When the Display Driver Install window appears, select Primary Display and then select OK. 5).
Selecting Monitor Type Monitor type is initially set to DEFAULT. This DEFAULT setting may not allow you to select all resolution/refresh combinations that are available for your monitor. The following steps can be done to select monitor type. This section applies only after installation, or when a different monitor is used. 1. Open the OS/2 System folder. 2. Open the System Setup folder. 3. Open the System object. 4. When the System - Settings notebook appears, select the Screen tab.
Installation Notes 1. During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in \OS2\INSTALL directory. These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated, and indicate whether the installation was successful. The DISPLAY.LOG file also contains a string that identifies the version of driver that was installed. This information may be important when reporting an installation problem. 2. During installation, DSPINSTL will invoke the SVGA Configuration program SVGA.
CHAPTER 6 SCSI Setup and Configurations (SBC-599 only) The SBC-599 is equipped with two SCSI interfaces. This chapter provides basic SCSI concepts and instructions for installing the software drivers with the included SCSI driver diskettes. At the end of this chapter provides the SCSI device troubleshooting tips.
Installation and Setup The SBC-599 is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7880 Ultra Wide PCI-to-Ultra SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful multitasking interface between your computer’s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.). Up to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be connected to the internal or external SCSI connector on AIC-7880.
The AIC-7880 supports the SCSI Configured AutoMatically (SCAM) protocol, which assigns SCSI IDs dynamically and resolves SCSI ID conflicts automatically at bootup. If your system includes SCSI disk drives or other devices that support SCAM, you do not need to manually assign SCSI IDs to these devices. Most SCSI devices currently in use, however, do not support SCAM. The SCSI IDs on these devices must be set manually. To change the SCSI IDs on these devices, refer to the device’s documentation.
We recommend that you leave SCSI set to its default setting of Automatic. The following table lists the termination configurations. The following figures show termination examples for the AIC7880.

AIC-7880 Ultra Wide SCSI Termination Low OFF High ON SCSI Termination Examples Installing SCSI Devices You can connect up to 15 devices (seven standard internal and eight Wide (16-bit) internal SCSI devices, or 15 Wide internal SCSI devices) to the Ultra Wide SCSI. Connecting Internal SCSI Devices If you are connecting internal SCSI devices, make sure you have an internal SCSI cable with enough connectors to accommodate all of your devices. 1.
2. Install the SCSI device in your computer. Refer to your computer and device documentation for instructions. 3. Plug the connector at one end of the internal SCSI cable into the host adapter’s internal SCSI connector. Make sure the colored stripe on one side of the cable is aligned with pin-1 of the host adapter’s connector. Pin-1 of the connector is usually designated by a small triangle “D”, or a “1” on the connector. 4.
- When using 50-pin connector only, choose “Low ON/High ON” (Default) - When using 68-pin connector only, choose “Low ON/High ON” (Default) - When using both 50-pin & 68-pin, choose “Low OFF/High ON” Select the default of “Low ON/High ON?” and press Enter, then use the up and down arrows to make your new selection and press Enter. Press ESC to go back to the Options menu. Press ESC again and select Yes to exit the program.

n n host adapter the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We recommend that you leave the host adapter set to SCSI ID7. SCSI Parity Checking - This option determines whether the host adapter verifies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. The default setting is Enabled. You should disable SCSI Parity Checking if any SCSI device connected to the SBC-599 does not support SCSI parity; otherwise, leave it enabled. Most SCSI devices do support SCSI parity.
nInitiate Sync Negotiation - This option determines whether the host adapter initiates synchronous data transfer negotiation (Sync Negotiation) between the device and host adapter. The default setting is Yes. Synchronous negotiation is a SCSI feature that allows the host adapter and its attached SCSI devices to transfer data in synchronous mode. Synchronous data transfer is faster than asynchronous data transfer. The host adapter always responds to Sync Negotiation if the SCSI device initiates it.
When set to Yes, the host adapter attempts 16-bit transfer. When set to No, 8-bit data transfer is used unless the SCSI device itself requests Wide negotiation. The effective transfer rate is doubled when 16-bit data transfer is sued because the data path for Wide SCSI is twice the size of normal 8-bit SCSI. For example, a transfer rate of 10 Mbytes/sec becomes 20Mbytes/sec, and a transfer rate of 20 Mbytes/sec (Ultra SCSI) becomes 40 Mbytes/sec.
Setting this option to yes reduces the load on your computer’s power supply by allowing the host adapter to start SCSI devices one-at-a-time when you boot your computer. When set to No, the devices are allowed to start at the same time. Most devices require you to set a jumper before they can respond to this command. Note: If the Send Start Unit Command is set to yes for many devices, the boot time will vary depending on how long it takes each drive to start.
n Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks — This option controls which removable-media drives are supported by the host adapter BIOS. This default setting is Boot Only. The following choices are available: Boot Only – Only the removable-media drive designated as the boot device is treated as a hard disk drive. All Disks – All removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are treated as hard disk drives. Disabled – No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk drives.
Extended BIOS Translation is used only with MS-DOS 5.0 or above. You do not need to enable this option if you are using another operating system such as NetWare, OS/s, Windows NT, or UNIX. When you partition a disk larger than 1 GByte, use the MS-DOS disk utility as you normally would. Because the cylinder size increases to 8 Mbytes under extended translation, the partition size you choose must be a multiple of 8Mbytes.
In some cases, selecting an option displays another menu. You can return to the previous menu at any time by pressing Esc. To restore the original SCSISelect default values, press F6. To toggle the display between color and monochrome modes, press F5 (this feature may not work on some kinds of monitors). Using the SCSI Disk Utilities To access the SCSI disk utilities, select the SCSI Disk Utilities option from the menu that appears after starting SCSISelect.
Installing Device Drivers Some operating systems embed (included) the AIC-7880 Ultra Wide SCSI device driver as part of their installation software. These drivers work fine with your AIC-7880 Ultra Wide SCSI; however, the most recent version of the driver should be installed in order for your AIC-7880 Ultra Wide SCSI to perform at its optimum level. n n Adaptec EZ-SCSI – allows you to install software drivers for DOS/Windows 3.x and several additional utilities.
ADAPTEC EZ-SCSI UTILITY Adaptec EZSCSI gives you what you need to use your SCSI devices most effectively with Windows 95 and Windows NT. You can also use Adaptec EZSCSI on computers running DOS, Windows 3.1x, or Windows for Workgroups 3.1x. Quick Start Instructions First, install SCSI devices (see the hardware documentation for details). Then follow the instructions for your operating system software in one of the following sections.
Troubleshooting Tips SCSI Device Troubleshooting Review this checklist if your newly installed SCSI disk drives, CDROM drives, and other devices do not seem to work properly: Be sure that termination is correctly set for all devices on the SCSI bus, as described in your host adapter documentation. Be sure there are no hardware conflicts such as devices in your computer trying to use the same interrupts (IRQs) or DMA channels.
What if there is no SCSI controller icon under Device Manager, or the model name of the SCSI chipset does not appear under Device Manager: If the SCSI controllers icon or your host adapter’s model name do not appear, open Control Panel and double-click the Add New Hardware icon. Let Windows search for the host adapter by selecting Yes on the second screen of the Add New Hardware Wizard. If Windows does not detect the host adapter, run the Add New Hardware Wizard again.
5. Turn the computer ON. If the new host adapter supports Plug and Play, Windows will install and configure it automatically. Otherwise, run Add New Hardware to make sure the new driver is loaded. If I am running under Windows 95, do I need lines for the Adaptec real mode ASPI drivers and mscdex in my config.sys and autoexec.bat files? Usually, you do not need to use these real mode ASPI drivers, because the new Windows miniport drivers support most SCSI host adapters and SCSI devices.
3. When you are finished running Adaptec EZSCSI for DOS, find the file named cdtsd.vxd in the windows\system\iosubsys directory and rename it cdtsd.sav. My CD-ROM drive shows up as more than one icon under My Computer. The mapping between mscdex, which runs in real mode, and the Windows95 CDROM driver does not match. You can correct this in one of two ways: - 84 Comment out the line that loads mscdex.exe in the autoexec.bat file. Change the /L switch on the line that loads mscdex.exe in the autoexec.
Information for DOS/Windows 3.1x Users The following information may be useful if you install Adaptec EZSCSI on a computer running DOS, Windows 3.1x, or Windows for Workgroups 3.1x. Note: The Windows 95/Windows NT Troubleshooting section describes a few situations when you may need to use the DOS/Windows 3.1x drivers and ASPI managers under Windows 95 or Windows NT. DOS and Windows 3.
Adaptec EZSCSI includes several ASPI managers for DOS/ Windows 3.1x. When you install Adaptec EZSCSI on these operating systems, it detects what kind of host adapter is installed in your computer and automatically configures your system with the correct ASPI manager. To learn more about these ASPI managers, including their command line option information, see the Adaptec EZSCSI Online Reference, a Windows Help application.
4. When the next screen appears, select either Format or Verify (to verify that the disk is free of surface defects), then press Enter. WARNING: Back up important data before you format the disk device! A low-level format erases all data from the disk. 5. If you select Format, confirm that you want to format the disk, then wait while the disk device is formatted. This may take a long time if the disk is large. If you select Verify, you can press Esc at any time to stop the verification process.
Run afdisk from the DOS prompt only, not from the Windows MSDOS prompt. Before you run it, be sure the disk devices you want to format and partition are connected to the host adapter and that they are powered. Then follow these steps: 1. 2. - - 88 Change to the directory where afdisk.exe is located (usually c:\scsi), type afdisk at the DOS prompt, and press Enter. Information about your SCSI disk devices appears on the screen. (The number that appears after Target is the device’s SCSI ID).
5. 6. 7. When the number of cylinders is what you want, press Esc. When the confirmation prompt appears, select Yes and press Enter to create the partition. To create more partitions on the same disk device, repeat steps 3,4, and 5. As you create partitions on the disk., they are added to the window at the upper right of the screen. Press Esc to return to the “Select SCSI Device to Partition” window.
