2.2 Setting Jumpers

A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT.

If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumpr is

OPEN. Please see the following illustrations:

The illustrations on the right show a 2-pin jumper. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper is OPEN.

Open (Off) Short (On)

These illustrations show a 3-pin jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

3.1 System Memory

Your system memory is provided by DIMM’s (Dual In-line Memory Modules) on the

CPU board. The CPU board contains two memory banks: Bank 0 and 1, corresponds to connector DIMM1, DIMM2.

The table below shows possible DIMM configurations for the memory banks.

Please be noted that the PEAK 715-HT Series support Double Data (DDR333)

SDRAM. Configurations using different brands of memory modules are not recommended.

3.2 Installing DIMM

To install DIMM:

1. Make sure the two handles of the DIMM sockets are in the “open” position, i.e.

the handles stay outward.

Figure 3-1 : How to Install DIMM (1)

2. Slowly slide the DIMM modules along the plastic guides in the both ends of the socket.


18

3. Then press the DIMM module down right into the socket, until a click is heard.

That means the two handles automatically locked the memory modules into the right position of the DIMM socket.


4. To take away the memory module, just push the both handles outward, the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.


19

3.3 Change CPU

To change the CPU:

1. Pull the handling bar of the socket upward to the other end to loosen the socket’s openings. Carefully lift the existing CPU up to remove it from the socket.

2. Place the new CPU on the middle of the socket, orienting its beveled corner to line up with the socket’s beveled corner. Make sure the pins of the CPU fit evenly to the socket openings. Replace the handling bar to fasten the CPU to the socket.

Figure 3-5 : How to Change CPU

3.4 Installing the Fan Heatsink

Use the following instructions for installing the fan heatsink:

1. The heatsink has thermal interface material attached to the bottom, shown in

Figure 3-7. Be careful not to damage the thermal interface material.

2. Align the fan heatsink and clip assembly (A in Figure 3-6) with the retention mechanism (the fan heatsink is symmetrical) and place it on the processor (as shown in Figure 3-7). Allow the heatsink base to compress (without rotating or twisting) the thermal interface material over the surface of the processor's integrated heat spreader.

3. With the clip levers (C in Figure 3-6) in the upward position, push down on all four clip frame corners (D in Figure 3-6) to secure the clip frame latches (E in

Figure 3-6) to the retention mechanism hooks (F in Figure 3-6), as shown in Figure

3-8.

Note: Make sure the processor fan cable is free from any obstruction and is not trapped under clip frame (B in Figure 3-6).

4. Note: It is important to not allow the heatsink to rotate or twist on the processor's integrated heat spreader. Securing the fan heatsink while closing the clip levers will ensure the thermal interface material is not damaged and the processor will operate correctly. Follow these steps, for closing the clip levers and ensuring the thermal interface material is not damaged: a. ) Make sure to close the clips levers in opposing directions, one at a time

(levers require force to be completely closed), as shown in Figure 3-9a. First, close the clip lever (1 in Figure 3-9b), while holding the topside of the fan heatsink with your other hand (A in Figure 3-9b).

b. ) Then, close the clip lever (2 in Figure 3-9c), while holding the topside of the fan heatsink with your other hand (B in Figure 3-9c).

5. Once the clip levers are closed, verify that the heatsink is securely retained and that the clip frame latches are properly engaged with the retention mechanism hooks.

Note: When installed, the fan heatsink and clip assembly may cause the motherboard to slightly bend or flex. This provides the proper mechanical support for the processor (with attached fan heatsink and clip assembly) and helps prevent against damage during system shipment.

21

6. Lastly, connect the processor fan cable to the motherboard fan power header

(Figure 3-10). Consult the motherboard manual to determine the correct fan header to use.

Appendix B : Watchdog Timer Setting

B.1 Watchdog Timer Working Procedure

Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a special hardware device that monitors the computer system during normal operation. WDT has a clock circuit that times down from a set number to zero. If a monitored item occurs before the timer reaches zero, WDT resets and counts down again. If for some reason the monitored item doesn’t occur before the timer reaches zero, WDT performs an action, such as a diagnostic operation (rebooting the computer).

You must enter timer values into WDT Configuration Register (Write the control value to the Configuration Port), and clear WDT counter (read the Configuration

Port).

Mov dx, F2h ;Setting the WDT configuration port

In al, dx

Note: Before running WDT, you must clear WDT to ensure

that the initial value is zero.

B.3.3 WDT Control Register

Note: This register writes to WDT configuration port.

Set WDT Control Register to control the WDT working mode. The initial value of

WDT Control Register is shown as follows:

; (Setting the WDT Control Register as AL)

Mov al, 0h ; Setting initial value = 0 for the WDT Control Register

Follow these instructions to set the register:

1.

Select the time-out intervals of WDT (decide the values of D2, D1, D0 in F2 )

Example: If D2~D0 = 0, the time-out interval is 64 seconds.

AND al, 11111000b ; Setting the time-out interval as 64 sec.

2.

Enable or Disable WDT ( decide D3 value in F2) i.e. D3=0, Disables WDT

AND al, 11110111b ; Disable the WDT

68

i.e. D3=1, Enables WDT

OR al, 00001000b ; Enable the WDT

After finishing the above settings, you must output the Control Register’s value to

WDT Configuration Port. Then WDT will start according to the above settings.

MOV dx, F2h ; Setting WDT Configuration Port

OUT dx, al ; Output the Control Register Value
