Anleitung Zusammenfassung
This system board supports DDR266 266MHz SDRAM. Each of the DIMM socket is independent from the others. This independence allows you to install DIMMs with different capacities to form different configurations. To install a DIMM, align it to an empty slot and press it in until the holding clips secure the DIMM in place. Note: The DIMM socket is slotted to ensure proper installation. If you slip in a DIMM but it does not completely fit, you may have inserted it the wrong way. Reverse the orientation of the DIMM. 3 Upgrading your system To remove a DIMM, press the holding clips on both sides of the socket outward to release the DIMM. Note: Place your forefingers on the top of the DIMM before you press the holding clips to gently disengage the DIMM from the socket. Reconfiguring the system The system automatically detects the amount of memory installed. Run Setup to view the new value for total system memory and make a note of it. 45 Installing expansion cards There are two kinds of expansion slots available in this system board. These are 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) and 64-bit PCI. To install expansion cards: 1 Locate an empty expansion slot on the system board. 2 Remove the metal bracket located opposite the empty expansion slot using a Phillips screwdriver. 3 Insert an expansion card into the slot. Make sure that the card is properly seated. 46 3 Upgrading your system 4 Secure the card to the housing with a screw. When you turn on the system, BIOS automatically detects and assigns resources to the new device. Note: BIOS detects and configures only PnP (Plug n Play) expansion cards. 4 Setup utility This chapter gives information about the system BIOS and tells how to configure the system by changing the settings of the BIOS parameters. Introduction Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run Setup when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup message. The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM. Note: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for assistance. Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots immediately after you exit Setup. 4 Setup utility Setup Menu The computer employs the latest AMI BIOS CMOS chip with support for Windows Plug and Play. This CMOS chip contains the ROM Setup instructions for configuring the mainboard’s BIOS. The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup utility is a menu driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. BIOS is a ROM-based configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters. These parameters are stored in non-volatile battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found in CMOS. Configure such items as: • Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals • Password protection from unauthorized use • Power Management Features This Setup utility should be executed under the following conditions: • When changing the system configuration • When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup utility • When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts • When making changes to the Power Management configuration • When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup BIOS Setup Options at Boot The user will be able to initiate SETUP by pressing the respective keys.
