Chapter 1: Introduction 1-2 Chipset Overview Intel’s Glenwood (955X) chipset, designed for use with the Pentium 4 Dual Core LGA 775 CPU, is comprised of two primary components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH7R). In addition, Intel's PCI-X (PXH-V) is used for added functionality. The PDSG4/PDSGE provides the performance and feature-set required for the high-end desktop and the UP workstation market.
PDSG4/PDSGE User’s Manual 1-3 PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSG4/PDSGE. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, Chipset Voltage, Memory Voltage, +3.3V Standby, +5V, +12V,−12V, +5V standby and VBAT The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously.
Chapter 1: Introduction suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Pressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. This option can be set in the Power section of the BIOS Setup routine.
PDSG4/PDSGE User’s Manual 1-6 Super I/O The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a floppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives.
Chapter 2: Installation Chapter 2 Installation 2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices Electric-Static-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD. Precautions • Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. • Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

Front Panel (FP) Audio When front panel headphones are plugged in, the back panel audio output is disabled. This is done through the FP Audio header (J8).
Chapter 2: Installation 2-7 Jumper Settings Explanation of Jumpers To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the motherboard layout pages for jumper locations. Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open" means the jumper is off the pins.
PDSG4/PDSGE User's Manual CMOS Clear JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads to prevent the accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such as a small screw driver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection. Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS. Note: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the system, remove the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Chapter 2: Installation USB Wake-Up Use JPUSB jumpers to enable the function of "System Wake-Up via USB devices", which allows you to "wake-up" the system by pressing a key on the USB keyboard or by clicking the USB mouse of your system. The JPUSB jumpers are used together with the USB Wake-Up function in the BIOS. Enable both the jumpers and the BIOS setting to allow the system to "wake-up via USB Devices". See the table on the right for jumper settings and jumper connections.
PDSG4/PDSGE User's Manual SMBus to PCI/PCI-Exp. Slots SMBus to PCI/PCI-Exp Jumpers JP1, JP2 allow you to connect Jumper PCI/PCI-E slots to the System Management Bus.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Chapter 3 Troubleshooting 3-1 Troubleshooting Procedures Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter. Always disconnect the AC power cord before adding, changing or installing any hardware components. Before Power On 1.
PDSG4/PDSGE User's Manual NOTE If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to App. B. Memory Errors 1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in the slots. 2. You should be using unbuffered, ECC DDR 2-677/533 memory (see the next page). Also, it is recommended that you use the same memory speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 2-4 for memory limitations. 3.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting 3. If you've followed the instructions above to troubleshoot your system, and still cannot resolve the problem, then please contact Supermicro's technical support and provide them with the following information: • Motherboard model and PCB revision number • BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your system first boots up) •System configuration An example of a Technical Support form is on our web site at (http://www. supermicro.com/support/contact.
PDSG4/PDSGE User's Manual Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch? Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in the BIOS by the Power Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the system.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper maintenance of products. During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.
