Safety Precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.


Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.

Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

1.8

Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard default settings and your options for each jumper.

1.8.1

How to set jumpers

You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. 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” (or turn on) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or turn off) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.

1.8.2

CMOS clear (JCMOS1)

The AIMB-781 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the

CMOS to its default setting.

1.8.3

Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)

The AIMB-781 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU. This feature means the AIMB-781 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.

1.9

System Memory

AIMB-781 has four 240-pin memory sockets for DDR3 1066/1333 MHz memory modules with maximum capacity of 16GB (Maximum 4GB for each DIMM). AIMB-

781QG2 and AIMB-781QVG SKU only support non-ECC DDR3 memory modules.

Please note that both versions AIMB-781 do NOT support registered DIMMs

(RDIMMs).

Note!

Because AIMB-781 supports Intel Active Management Technology 7.0

(iAMT7.0) which utilizes some memory space of channel 0, it's suggested that the user should not leave channel 0 DIMM slots (DIMMA1 and DIMMA2) empty, or it may cause some system abnormality.

1.10

Memory Installation Procedures

To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the

“open” position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket, and then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

1.11

Cache Memory

The AIMB-781 supports a CPU with one of the following built-in full speed L3 caches:

The built-in third-level cache in the processor yields much higher performance than conventional external cache memories.

 8 MB for 2nd Generation Intel Core i7-2xxx CPU



 3 MB for Intel Pentium CPU

3.1

Introduction

AMIBIOS has been integrated into myriad motherboards for decades. In the past, people often referred to the AMIBIOS setup menu as BIOS, BIOS setup or CMOS setup.

With the AMIBIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control the special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for making changes and turning the special features on or off. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AIMB-781 setup screens.

Figure 3.1 Main setup screen

AMI’s BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in NVRAM area so it retains the

Setup information when the power is turned off.

3.2

Entering BIOS Setup

Press <Del> or <F2> to enter AMI BIOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter the sub-menu.

When users first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, they enter the Main setup screen.

Users can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS

Setup screen is shown below.


3.2.1

Main Menu

Press <Del> at bootup to enter AMI BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter the sub-menu.

Figure 3.2 Main setup screen

The Main BIOS setup screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured; options in blue can be. The right frame displays the key legend.

Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.

3.2.2

System time / System date

Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the <Arrow> keys. Enter new values through the keyboard. Press the

<Tab> key or the <Arrow> keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in

MM/DD/YY format. The time must be entered in HH:MM:SS format.

Use this to select how many processor cores you want to activate when you are using a dual or quad core processor.

Limit CPUID Maximum

Setting this item to [Enable] allows legacy operating systems to boot even without support for CPUs with extended CPUID functions.

Execute Disable Bit

This item specifies the Execute Disable Bit Feature. The settings are Enabled and

Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default setting is Enabled. If Disabled is selected, the BIOS forces the XD feature flag to always return to 0.

Hardware Prefetcher

Hardware Prefetcher is a technique that fetches instructions and/or data from memory into the CPU cache memory well before the CPU needs it, so that it can improve the load-to-use latency. You may choose to enable or disable it.

Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch

The Adjacent Cache-Line Prefetch mechanism, like automatic hardware prefetch, operates without programmer intervention. When enabled through the BIOS, two 64byte cache lines are fetched into a 128-byte sector, regardless of whether the additional cache line has been requested or not.

Programming the

Watchdog Timer

The AIMB-781’s watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function within the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the watchdog timer and how to program it.

A.1

Watchdog timer overview

The watchdog timer is built in to the super I/O controller NCT6776F. It provides the following functions for user programming:

 Can be enabled and disabled by user’s program

 Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes

 Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the timer before time-out

A.2

Programming the Watchdog Timer

The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). 2E (hex) is the address port. 2F (hex) is the data port. You must first write an address value into address port 2E (hex), and then write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).


Unlock NCT6776F

Select register of watchdog timer

Enable the function of the watchdog timer

Use the function of the watchdog timer

Lock NCT6776F

Write this address to I/O address port 2E (hex) twice to unlock the

NCT6776F

Write 08 (hex) to select register of watchdog timer.

Write 01 (hex) to enable the function of the watchdog timer. Disabled is set as default.

Set seconds or minutes as units for the timer. Write 0 to bit 3: set seconds as counting unit. [default]. Write 1 to bit 3: set minutes as counting unit.

Write 1 to bit 4: Watchdog timer count mode is 1000 times faster.

If bit 3 is 0, the count mode is 1/1000 seconds mode. If bit 3 is 1, the count mode is 1/1000 minutes mode.

0: stop timer [default]

01 ~ FF (hex): The amount of the count, in seconds or minutes, depends on the value set in register F5 (hex). This number decides how long the watchdog timer waits for strobe before generating an interrupt or reset signal. Writing a new value to this register can reset the timer to count with the new value.

Bit 6: Write 1 to enable keyboard to reset the timer, 0 to disable.[default]

Bit 5: Write 1 to generate a timeout signal immediately and automatically return to 0. [default=0]

Bit 4: Read status of watchdog timer, 1 means timer is “timeout”.

Write this address to I/O port 2E (hex) to lock NCT6776F.
