Introduction

Thank you for your purchasing of MEGA 651, the Best of Computing &

Home Entertainment. Based on the design idea of consumer product, the MEGA

651 is not just a PC anymore. The “All-in-One” feature positions MEGA 651 as a

Digital Media Platform.

From the recent years, the ownership and usage of desktop and notebook

PCs across W.W. households has turned computers into a commodity item. While

Microsoft strongly promotes the “Media Center” platform concept “Windows XP

Media Center Edition” on HP “Free Style”, Intel is also exploring their “Digital

Home” concept for the “Home-use” PC.

To meet the new concept of Home PC, the MEGA 651 has been positioned as a Digital Media Platform to perform TV-recording (optional), home theater (DVD+5.1 channels), digital audio playback (MP3, Audio CD), photo and video stream data browsing. Meanwhile, it can also support high game performance (AGP 4x slot). On the other hand, the remote controller allows you to use it like an advanced Hi-Fi stereo in playing CD/MP3 and listening to radio.

An innovative feature to implement the

Hi-Fi stereo into home PC with a fancy equalizer LCM and control panel on the front bezel

Introduction

1.1 All-in-one Feature Set

The MEGA651 implements all the Hi-Fi Stereo into Home-PC with a fancy equalizer LCM and control panel in the front bezel. When PC is power off, you can use it just like a Hi-Fi Stereo with a remote controller. When PC is power on, you can use it for Home Theater and Media Center PC. The all-in-one feature provides you with multiple functions in a small form factor. It can be set anywhere you want, such as bedroom or living room, while it’s easily be moved to anywhere whenever you need.

SRS

MEGA651 is equipped with SRS audio enforcement technology. SRS (Sound Retrieval System) was the first generation of 3D sound, dramatically improving the quality of standard stereo. SRS is based on the human hearing system and was designed to retrieve the natural spatial cues and ambient information that is present in audio but masked by traditional recording and playback methods.

Whether the signal is mono or stereo, SRS expands the audio material to create a realistic threedimensional sound image. SRS has no sweet-spot and fills the room with a sound experience much closer to that of a live performance.

SRS is a trademark of SRS Labs, Inc. SRS technology is incorporated under license from SRS Labs,

Introducing Mainboard

2.2 CPU/memory

The MEGA651 supports Intel

Pentium

4 processors in the 478-pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating.

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.

The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double

In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 2GB. You can install PC2700/DDR333 or PC2100/DDR266 modules into the DDR DIMM slots (CN28/26).

Introduction to DDR SDRAM

DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.

3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires

184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM.

High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers.

2.7 Jumper

There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep the data of system configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. That battery has long life time for at least 5 years. If you want to clear the system configuration, use the

JBAT1 (Clear CMOS Jumper ) to clear data. Follow the instructions below to clear the data:

Clear CMOS Jumper: J2

PCI Slot

The PCI slot allows you to insert PCI card or TV Tuner card. The TV Tuner card is included in the MEGA651.

When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to make any necessary hardware or software settings

NOTE: You can insert the OPTIONAL MS8606 card into the

PCI slot to enjoy watching TV.

PCI Slot 1

AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot

The AGP slot allows you to insert the AGP graphics card. AGP is an interface specification designed for the throughput demands of 3D graphics. It introduces a 66MHz,

32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly access main memory and provides three levels of throughputs: 1x

(266Mbps), 2x (533Mbps) and 4x (1.07Gbps).

Introduction

The MEGA 651 is featured with audio function. There are two ways to use audio function: in PC mode, in Hi-Fi mode. As the Mega 651 is shipped out in barebone, you must install the necessary components (such as HDD, CPU, RAM...) before using audio function in PC mode. However, there is no limit to use audio function in Hi-Fi mode, although the system is not set up completely.

You can use control panel or remote controller to select the audio function in Hi-Fi mode. However, you can also use

the control panel or remote control to select the audio function

in PC mode. See 3.1 and 3.2 for information on control panel and remote controller. On the other hand, the “Mega Radio” software has been included in package which allows you to listen to the radio in PC mode. See Appendix for information on

“Mega Radio”.

In this chapter, we will tell you how to use audio function in Hi-Fi and PC mode. The LCM pictures are used to provide the information step by step.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device. The settings are:

Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UltraDMA

Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA/33, Ultra DMA/66 and Ultra DMA/100 select Auto to enable BIOS support. The settings are: Auto, Disabled.

4.7 Power management setup

Sleep State

This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system supports ACPI, such as Windows 98SE, Windows ME and Windows 2000, you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1(POS) or S3(STR) fashion through the setting of this field. Options are:

S1/POS

S3/STR

The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system context.

The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in formation of system configuration and open applications/ files is saved to main memory that remains powered while most other hardware components turn off to save energy. The information stored in memory will be used to restore the system when a “wake up” event occurs.

4.8 pnp/pci configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug &

Play) feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.

4.10 Frequency/Voltage Control

CPU Clock Ratio

This setting controls the multiplier that is used to determine the internal clock speed of the processor relative to the external or motherboard clock speed.

Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk

This option allows you to enable/disable the feature of auto detecting the clock frequency of the installed DIMM/PCI bus. The settings are: Enabled, Disabled.

Spread Spectrum

When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at Disabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, activate the Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clockspeed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. Options: Disabled, Enabled.
