3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.5 System Memory This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Four DIMM sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) registered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB densities with Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC). The motherboard supports a memory configuration of up to 4GB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard. 3.5.
PAGE 20
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.5.2 Memory Installation WARNING! Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and expansion cards (see 3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure for more information). Insert a DIMM into the DIMM socket as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module only fits in one direction.
PAGE 21
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with a dual Socket 370 for Intel Pentium III Tualatin 1.4GHz CPUs with 133MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). The following illustration shows the location of the CPU sockets on the motherboard and the correct CPU orientation. Gold Arrow Socket 370 Pentium III (Tualatin) Silver Arrow Socket 370 Terminator (Use when only one CPU is installed) 3.
PAGE 22
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.6.1 Installing the CPU and Terminator Follow these steps to install a CPU. 1. Locate the ZIF socket on the motherboard. 2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100° angle. 3. H/W SETUP CPU Installation 3. Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the socket. 4.
PAGE 23
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.6.2 Heatsink Installation Follow these steps to install a CPU. 1. Carefully place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU and hook one end of the retaining clip to the protruding tab on the front of the socket. (TIP: The front part of the socket is where you find the gold mark or notch on the CPU.) Retaining Clip for the Tab on the Front of the Socket 2. Use a flat screwdriver to hook the other end of the retaining clip to the protruding tab at the back of the CPU socket.
PAGE 24
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.7 Expansion Cards WARNING! Unplug the power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. 3.7.1 Expansion Card Installation Procedure 1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software settings for your expansion card, such as jumpers. 2. Remove your computer system cover and the bracket plate on the expansion slot.
PAGE 25
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.7.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclusively assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If the motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If the motherboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.

3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.8 Connectors 3.8.1 External Connectors 1) PS/2 Mouse Port (Green 6-pin PS2KBMS) The system will direct IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse if one is detected. If one is not detected, expansion cards can use IRQ12. 3. H/W SETUP Connectors PS/2 Mouse (6-pin female) 2) PS/2 Keyboard Connector (Purple 6-pin PS2KBMS) This connection is for a standard keyboard using an PS/2 plug (mini DIN). This connector does not allow standard AT size (large DIN) keyboard plugs.
PAGE 28
3. HARDWARE SETUP 4) Parallel Port Connector (Burgundy 25-pin PRINTER) A 25-pin port is available for a parallel printer. Enable the parallel port and select the IRQ through Onboard Parallel Port parameter in BIOS. (See 4.4.2 I/O Device Configuration). Parallel Port (25-pin female) 5) Serial Port Connector (Teal/Turquoise 9-pin COM1) One serial port is available for pointing devices or other serial devices. To enable the port, see Onboard Serial Port 1 in 4.4.2 I/O Device Configuration. 3.
PAGE 29
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.8.2 Internal Connectors WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard. IMPORTANT: Always connect ribbon cables such that the red stripe matches Pin 1 on the connector. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector on hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk drives.
PAGE 30
3. HARDWARE SETUP 2) IDE/SCSI Activity LED (2-pin IDELED) This connector supplies power to the chassis activity LED. Read and write activity by devices connected to the primary/secondary IDE and SCSI connectors cause the LED to light up. NOTE: Another 2-pin IDE LED connector is available in the connector labeled PANEL. *Same as the “HDD Access LED” in the panel connectors +IDELED TR-DLSR 3.
PAGE 31
3. HARDWARE SETUP 4) Wake-On-LAN Connector (3-pin WOL_CON) This connector connects to a LAN card with a Wake-On-LAN output, such as the ASUS PCI-L101 Ethernet card (see 7. APPENDIX). The connector powers up the system when a wakeup packet or signal is received through the LAN card. IMPORTANT: This feature requires that Wake On LAN is enabled (see 4.5.1 Power Up Control) and that your system has an ATX power supply with at least 720mA +5V standby power.
PAGE 32
3. HARDWARE SETUP 6) Two 68-pin Ultra160 SCSI Connectors (SCSI-A, SCSI-B) This motherboard has two 68-Pin Ultra160 SCSI connectors; one for each of the two channels. Each channel can support a maximum of 15 devices as specified by Ultra160 standards. 34 68 1 35 68-Pin Ultra160/Ultra2-Wide SCSI Connector SCSI-A (Internal) 1 35 SCSI-B (External) 68-Pin Ultra160/ Ultra2-Wide SCSI Connector TR-DLSR 34 68 TR-DLSR Onboard SCSI Connectors 3.
PAGE 33
3. HARDWARE SETUP 7) CPU and Chassis Fan Connectors (3-pin CPU_FAN1/2, CHA_FAN1/2) These connectors support cooling fans of 860mA (10.3 Watts) or less. Orient the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while the black should be ground. Connect the fan’s plug to the board taking into consideration the polarity of the connector.
PAGE 34
3. HARDWARE SETUP 9) SMBus Connector (8-1 pin SMB) This connector allows you to connect SMBus (System Management Bus) devices. SMBus devices communicate by means of the SMBus with an SMBus host and/ or other SMBus devices. SMBus is a specific implementation of an I2C bus, which is a multi-device bus; that is, multiple chips can be connected to the same bus and each one can act as a master by initiating data transfer.

4. BIOS SETUP 4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS 4.1.1 Upon First Use of the Computer System It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS along with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later. AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode.
PAGE 40
4. BIOS SETUP 5. Select 1. Save Current BIOS to File from the Main menu and press . The Save Current BIOS To File screen appears. 6. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX and then press . 4.

LSI SCSI Driver Installation LSI Logic and Microsoft together provided miniport drivers, “SYM_HI.SYS” (for SYM53C896) and “LSI_U3.SYS” (for SYM53C1010). The SCSI chipset used on your motherboard will depend on the model you purchased. The following sections describe how to prepare and install the SCSI drivers. Since Windows NT 4.0 do not have drivers for such new SCSI controllers, the user must load the driver manually prior to Windows NT 4.

5. OS Driver Installation 2. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server I. LSI SCSI Driver Installation LSI Logic and Microsoft provide miniport drivers, called SYM_HI.SYS that are bundled with Windows 2000 along with non-bundled drivers LSI_U3.SYS. These miniport drivers complete the path to a LSI controller or processor with an optional SDMS SCSI BIOS. The next sections describe these drivers and their installation.
