Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The D925XCV motherboard incorporates the TPM “Trusted Platform Module”.

The Trusted Platform Module is a component on the desktop board that is specifically designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities of today’s software by providing a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks.

Using both hardware and software, the TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages — operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plaintext form. The TPM is specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform authentication information from software-based attacks.

Warning of Potential Data Loss!

The D925XCV motherboard incorporates the TPM “Trusted Platform

Module” this is disabled by default in the BIOS setup utility please refer to the accompanied D925XCV motherboard manual.pdf,

TPMQuickReference.pdf and TPMFlyer.pdf.

Upgrading and ESD precautions

WARNING

Unplug the system before carrying out the procedures described in this document. Failure to disconnect power before you open the system can result in personal injury or equipment damage. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present in this product. Power switch terminals can have hazardous Voltages present even when the power switch is off.

The procedures assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.

Do not operate the system with the cover removed. Always replace the cover before

turning on the system.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this computer may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety Earth symbol

: or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

CAUTION!

The Viglen D925XCV motherboard and associated components are sensitive electronic devices. A small static shock from your body can cause expensive damage to your equipment.

Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a qualified engineer can perform the upgrade.

Page 4 of 17

STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:

1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your local electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static charge will be harmlessly bled to ground.

2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you are about to install it.

3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.

Note:

We recommend that you return your computer to the service department for upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only be carried out by persons who are familiar

with handling IC's, as incorrect installation will invalidate the guarantee.

CAUTION Do not move any jumpers with the power on. Always turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the computer before changing a jumper setting. Otherwise, the board could be damaged.

Figure 5. Motherboard jumper.

BIOS Setup Configuration Jumper (J6J3) Settings

The 3-pin jumper block determines the BIOS Setup program's mode. The table below describes the jumper settings for the three modes: normal, configure, and recovery. When the jumper is set to configure mode and the computer is powered-up, the BIOS compares the processor version and the microcode version in the BIOS and reports if the two match.

The BIOS uses current configuration information and passwords for booting.

After the POST runs, Setup runs automatically. The maintenance menu is displayed.

The BIOS attempts to recover the BIOS configuration. A recovery diskette is required.

System Memory

The boards have four DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:

• 1.8 V (only) DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts

• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:

Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organization are not supported.

• 4 GB maximum total system memory total amount of addressable memory.

• Minimum total system memory: 128 MB

• Non-ECC DIMMs

• Serial Presence Detect

• DDR2 533 MHz or DDR2 400 MHz SDRAM DIMMs

NOTES

• Remove the PCI Express x16 video card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid

interference with the memory retention mechanism.

• To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board

should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data

structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately

configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the

BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability

may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.

The following table lists the supported DIMM configurations.

Memory Configurations

The Intel 82925X MCH supports two types of memory organization:

• Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both

DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If different speed

DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

• Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

NOTE

The DIMM0 sockets of both channels are blue. The DIMM1 sockets of both channels are black.

Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configurations

Figure 7 shows a dual channel configuration using two DIMMs. In this example, the DIMM0

(blue) sockets of both channels are populated with identical DIMMs.

Figure 7. Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configuration with Two DIMMs

Figure 8 shows a dual channel configuration using three DIMMs. In this example, the combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A equal the capacity of the single DIMM in the DIMM0

(blue) socket of Channel B.

Figure 8. Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configuration with Three DIMMs

Figure 9 shows a dual channel configuration using four DIMMs. In this example, the combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A equal the combined capacity of the two DIMMs in

Channel B. Also, the DIMMs are matched between DIMM0 and DIMM1 of both channels.

Figure 9. Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configuration with Four DIMMs

Page 13 of 17

Single Channel (Asymmetric) Mode Configurations

NOTE

Dual channel (Interleaved) mode configurations provide the highest memory throughput.

Figure 10 shows a single channel configuration using one DIMM. In this example, only the

DIMM0 (blue) socket of Channel A is populated. Channel B is not populated.

Figure 10. Single Channel (Asymmetric) Mode Configuration with One DIMM

Figure 11 shows a single channel configuration using three DIMMs. In this example, the combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A does not equal the capacity of the single DIMM in the

DIMM0 (blue) socket of Channel B.

Installing & Removing DDR2 SDRAM In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs)

Installing Memory

You can install from 128MB to 4GB of memory in the motherboard DIMM sockets.

The board has four 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMM sockets.

The motherboard supports the following memory features:

•

240-pin 1.8volt only DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.

•

Non-ECC (64-bit) or ECC (72-bit) memory.

•

128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB (in the future) modules.

When adding memory, follow these guidelines:

•

The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.

•

For ECC operation to become available all installed memory must be ECC and you must enable the ECC Configuration feature in the BIOS Setup program.

Note:

DDR SDRAM’s must meet the Version 1.0 June 2000 JEDEC Solid State Technology

Association specifications for DDR200/266 SDRAM.

To install DIMMs, follow these steps:

1. Observe the precautions in “Upgrading and ESD precautions”. Turn off the computer and all peripheral devices.

2. Remove the computer cover and locate the DIMM sockets.

3. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package.

4. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the socket.

5. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the two small notches in the bottom edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket.

6. When the DIMM is seated, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the retaining clips at the ends of the socket snap into place. Make sure the clips are firmly in place.

7. Replace the computer cover.

8. If you installed a DIMM with ECC memory, start the computer and use the ECC

Configuration feature in Setup to enable the use of ECC.

Page 15 of 17

Removing Memory

To remove a DIMM, follow these steps:

1. Observe the precautions in " Upgrading and ESD precautions”.

2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer.

3. Remove the computer cover.

4. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The DIMM pops out of the socket.

Hold the DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an antistatic package.

5. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the DIMM sockets.
