This chapter includes the motherboard layout, jumper settings, and connector locations. 4. 1 Introduction The ASUS motherboard comes already installed in the ASUS Terminator 1 A7VT400 barebone system. This chapter provides technical information about the motherboard for future upgrades or system reconfiguraiton. 4. 2 Motherboard layout 23cm (9. 06in) FLOPPY CHA_FAN CPU_FAN PS/2 T:Mouse B:Keyboard IOC_MB Super I/O Flash BIOS VGA ATX12V DDR DIMM2 (64/72-bit, 184-pin module) DDR DIMM1 (64/72-bit, 184-pin module) PARALLEL PORT Line Out Line In Mic In ATXPWR Socket 462 VIA KM400A RJ-45 LANLED PRI_IDE USB T:Port2 B:Port1 USBPWR12 Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) CD4 SB_PWR AD1888 ® AUX PCI1 USBPWR34 USBPWR56 USB34 USB56 VIA VT8235M FSB CLRTC PANEL BUZZER MIC_LOUT BATTERY 4-2 Chapter 4: Motherboard information SEC_IDE 22. 4cm (8. 82in) 4. 3 Jumpers This section describes and illustrates the jumpers on the motherboard. USB device wake-up (3-pin USBPWR12, USBPWR34, USBPWR56) Set these jumpers to +5V to wake up the computer from S1 sleep mode (CPU stopped, DRAM refreshed, system running in low power mode) using the connected USB devices. Set to +5VSB to wake up from S3, S4, and S5 sleep mode (no power to CPU, DRAM in slow refresh, power supply in reduced power mode). The USBPWR34 and USBPWR56 jumpers are for the internal USB connectors that you can connect to additional USB ports. · The motherboard provides 0. 5A for each USB port and 1. 5A for all devices requiring +5VSB power. To use the USB device wake-up feature, the total +5VSB power for all connected devices must not exceed 1. 5A. The total current consumed must NOT exceed the power supply capability (+5VSB), whether under normal condition or in sleep mode. Make sure to set the jumpers to +5VSB if you want to wake up the system from S3, S4, and S5 sleep mode. · · 1 2 USBPWR12 +5V 12 2 3 +5VSB (Default) 23 +5VSB (Default) 23 +5VSB (Default) USBPWR34 +5V ® 12 USBPWR56 USB device wake-up +5V ASUS Terminator T1 A7VT400 4-3 2. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC) This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords. Keep the cap on pins 1-2 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 2-3. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data. CLRTC 12 ® 23 Clear CMOS Clear RTC RAM Normal (Default) Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap. 4-4 Chapter 4: Motherboard information 3. External frequency selection (FSB) This jumper allows you to set the CPU Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency. If your CPU FSB frequency is 133/166/200 MHz, set the jumper to 1-2. FSB 12 ® 23 External frequency selection 133/166/200 (Default) 100 ASUS Terminator T1 A7VT400 4-5 4. 4 Connectors This section describes and illustrates the connectors on the motherboard. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE) These connectors are for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cables. The Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. [. . . ] This will decrease the time needed to boot the system. Quick Boot [Enabled] Setting to [Enabled] allows the system to skip certain tests while booting, decreasing the time needed to boot the system. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled] 5-30 Chapter 5: BIOS information Boot Up Floppy Seek [Disabled] When [Enabled], the BIOS will seek the flopy disk drive to determine whether the drive has 40 or 80 tracks. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled] Boot Up Num-Lock Status [On] Allows you to select the power-on state for the NumLock. Configuration options: [On] [Off] Typematic Rate Setting [Disabled] Allows you to enable or disable the keyboard typematic rate setting. [. . . ]
