AMD Athlon™ / Duron™ Processor Family

Cooling Solutions

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.

Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, AMD recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.

When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by AMD for use with AMD processors. Note, those heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support AMD processors.

Introduction of N2VIEW Motherboard

1-1 The World First 2-User Motherboard

Introduction

The N2VIEW MagicTwin is the world’s first multi-user enabled motherboard solution available in the market. The special designed 2-user-system motherboard allows two users to share the computing power of a single PC system. With integrated circuitry onboard, the

N2VIEW MagicTwin

®

motherboard comes with innovative software, the MagicTwin, allowing 2 users to be connected to it and runs up to two (2) stations directly from it. The unique and copyright-protected technology, allows each of the 2 users to feel like having himself his own Windows-XP computer. Each user needs to have himself his own keyboard, mouse, sound device, and monitor. All remaining PC hardware will be shared, even the IP.

Both users can operate on their own station concurrently, similar to the operation on standard

PC, the Windows applications to create and edit documents, to do web surfing, to access email, just to name a few. There is no obvious delay because of the Time-slicing/Multiplexing technology built-in. Each user gets an exact and extremely short defined moment to access to the PC system, devices, applications and Windows itself. Resources are only claimed for nanoseconds at a time. Both users get from Windows and the PC, what they really need when they need it! The MagicTwin solution turns the single PC into a cost-effective multi-user system.

The setup is intuitive and easy. In only a few minutes, users can install and start using their new workstation. No network administrator is needed as everything to network the workstations together is done automatically with the MagicTwin software. To configure 2 users system you will need:

9 One Motherboard with onboard circuitry support for MagicTwin

9 One PS/2 Keyboard Y-cable for two Keyboards connection (cable or wireless)

9 One PS/2 Mouse Y-cable for two Mice connection (cable or wireless)

9 Two Standard Monitors (CRT, LCD)

9 Optional: USB-Multimedia Sound Device or any USB-Speaker

9 Installation CD (driver, installation program, tools and manual)

9 1.2GHz or higher processor

9 Minimum of 256MB RAM (128MB per workstation/user)

2-3-2 About AMD Athlon & Duron 462-pin CPU

This motherboard supports Socket-A (Socket-462) AMD Athlon/Duron processors.

This motherboard Provides a ZIF Socket-A. The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.

WARNING!

Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink and

CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.

WARNING!

Due to this motherboard provides new function of protecting CPU;you must connect the CPU FAN connector on CPUFAN location in order to obtain this feature. Without connection on CPUFAN (or you have connect CPU FAN on

SFAN1), the system will shut down immediately to protect both your CPU and motherboard.

Over heat Protect: Only for Athlon XP serial CPU, when the CPU overheat, system will auto shut down power supply. You can hear a continue beep sound, the power button will

9

be locked up. Users must turn off and turn on the AC power to reset the system otherwise the power button will no function, the other way is keeping press the push button few seconds till the beep sound stop, then release the power button and press the power button again to turn on the power supply.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

Socket 462

Colden Arrow

CPU ZIF Socket-A

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force require to insert of the CPU, then press the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.

2-4 Install Memory

This motherboard provides three 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size of 3.0GB DDR SDRAM. For Support 128-bit data transfer function (Dual

Channel ) must plug both DIMM1 & DIMM3, DIMM2 & DIMM3, or DIMM1

&DIMM2 & DIMM3, other combination only support 64-bit data transfer.

NOTE!

When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.

WARNING! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only DDR333 compliant DDR

Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your

DDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.

2-5 Expansion Cards

WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.

2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation

1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.

2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.

3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.

5. Replace the computer system’s cover.

6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.

7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.

2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively assign to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use.

1. After all connection are made, close your computer case cover.

2. Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to proper position, usually in-put voltage is 220V

∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your country’s voltage used.

3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case according to your system user’s manual.

4. Turn on your peripheral as following order: a. Your monitor. b. Other external peripheral (Printer, Scanner, External Modem etc…) c. Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to turn on the power supply and press the ATX power switch on the front side of the case.

5. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. The LED on the monitor may light up or switch between orange and green after the system is on. If it complies with green standards or if it is has a power standby feature. The system will then run power-on test. While the test are running, the BIOS will alarm beeps or additional message will appear on the screen.

If you do not see any thing within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power. The system may have failed on power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance.

Beep Meaning

One short beep when displaying logo No error during POST

Long beeps in an endless loop No DRAM install or detected

Chapter 3

Introducing BIOS

The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done it gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability, and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.

In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use here:

Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.

Press

↑ ↓ ← → (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to confirm or to modify.

Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.

Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for the active option.

3-1 Entering Setup

Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.

If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to

Press <F1> to continue, <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> or <Del> to enter Setup

User password: Can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press

<Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm that the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its

Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter

Setup.
