LV Yonah Dual Core processor CPU.

Installing mPGA 47

9MT Socket

1) Lift the handling lever of CPU socket outwards and upwards to the other end.


System Installation

2) Align the processor pins with pinholes on the socket. Make sure that the notched corner or dot mark (pin 1) of the CPU corresponds to the socket’s bevel end. Then press the CPU gently until it fits into place. If this operation is not easy or smooth, don’t do it forcibly. You need to check and rebuild the CPU pin uniformly.

3) Push down the lever to lock processor chip into the socket once CPU fits.

To un-install the current processor, use a screwdriver to disengage (open) the socket actuator, as shown in Figure 1 below. The socket actuator should open after only a half turn or so, and you should then be able to remove the processor with your fingers.

3.2 Main Memory

BLUEBOARD provides 2 x 240-pin DDR2-SDRAM DIMM sockets support 1.8V dual-channel DDR2 667/533/400 and non ECC memory as Smallest memory capacity possible is 128MB on-board main memory. Largest memory capacity possible is 4GB (2GB per channel). Memory clock Auto detecting to BIOS CMOS settings.

Watch out the contact and lock integrity of memory module with socket, it will impact on the system reliability. Follow normal procedures to install your DRAM module into memory socket. Before locking, make sure that all modules have been fully inserted into the card slots.

Dual Channel DDR2 SODIMM

Dual Channel DDR2 memory technology doubles the bandwidth of memory bus.

Adequate or higher bandwidth of memory than processor would increase system performance. To enable Dual Channel DDR2 memory technology, you have to install dual identical memory modules in both memory sockets. Following tables show bandwidth information of different processor and memory configurations.

3.4 WDT Function

The working algorithm of the WDT function can be simply described as a counting process. The Time-Out Interval can be set through software programming. The availability of the time-out interval settings by software or hardware varies from boards to boards.

BLUEBOARD allows users control WDT through dynamic software programming.

The WDT starts counting when it is activated. It sends out a signal to system reset, when time-out interval ends. To prevent the time-out interval from running out, a re-trigger signal will need to be sent before the counting reaches its end. This action will restart the counting process. A well-written WDT program should keep the counting process running under normal condition. WDT should never generate a system reset unless the system runs into troubles.


System Installation

The related Control Registers of WDT are all included in the following sample program that is written in C language. User can fill a non-zero value into the

Timeout Value Register to enable/refresh WDT. System will be reset after the Timeout Value to be counted down to zero. Or user can directly fill a zero value into

Time-out Value Register to disable WDT immediately. To ensure a successful accessing to the content of desired Control Register, the sequence of following program codes should be step-by-step run again when each register is accessed.

Additionally, there are maximum 2 seconds of counting tolerance that should be considered into user’ application program. For more information about WDT, please refer to Winbond W83627THF data sheet.

There are two PNP I/O port addresses that can be used to configure WDT,

1) 0x2E:EFIR (Extended Function Index Register, for identifying CR index number)

2) 0x2F:EFDR (Extended Function Data Register, for accessing desired CR)

Below are some example codes, which demonstrate the use of WDT.

// Enter Extended Function Mode outp(0x002E, 0x87); outp(0x002E, 0x87);

// Assign Pin 89 to be a WDTO outp(0x002E, 0x2B); outp(0x002F, inp(0x002F) & 0xEF);

// Select Logic Device 8 outp(0x002E, 0x07); outp(0x002F, 0x08);

// Active Logic Device 8 outp(0x002E, 0x30); outp(0x002F, 0x01);

// Select Count Mode outp(0x002E, 0xF5); outp(0x002F, (inp(0x002F) & 0xF7) | ( Count-mode Register & 0x08));

// Specify Time-out Value outp(0x002E, 0xF6); outp(0x002F, Time-out Value Register );

// Disable WDT reset by keyboard/mouse interrupts outp(0x002E, 0xF7); outp(0x002F, 0x00);

// Exit Extended Function Mode outp(0x002E, 0xAA);

3.5 GPIO

BLUEBOARD provides 8 programmable input or output ports that can be individually configured to perform a simple basic I/O function. Users can configure each individual port to become an input or output port by programming register bit of I/O Selection. To invert port value, the setting of Inversion Register has to be made. Port values can be set to read or write through Data Register.

BLUEBOARD GPIO Programming Guide

There are 8 GPIO pins on BLUEBOARD. These GPIO pins are from SUPER I/O

(W83627THF) GPIO pins, and can be programmed as Input or Output direction. J18 pin header is for 8 GPIO pins and its pin assignment as following :

J18_Pin3=GPIO0:from SUPER I/O_GP10 with Ext. 2.7K PH








<<<<< Be careful Pin1&2=GND , Pin11=5V , Pin12=12V >>>>>

There are several Configuration Registers (CR) of W83627THF needed to be programmed to control the GPIO direction, and status(GPI)/value(GPO). CR02h ~

CR2F are common (global) registers to all Logical Devices (LD) in W83627THF.

CR07h contains the Logical Device Number that can be changed to access the LD as needed. LD7 contains the GPIO10~17 registers.

Programming Guide:

Step1: CR29_Bit [7.6]. P [0,1]; to select multiplexed pins as GPIO10~17 pins

Step2: CR07h.P [07h]; Point to LD7

Step3: LD7_CR30h_Bit0.P1; Enable LD7

Step4: Select GPIO direction, Get Status or output value.

LD7_CRF0h; GPIO17 ~ 10 direction, 1 = input, 0 = output pin

LD7_CRF2h.P[00h]; Let CRF1 (GPIO data port) non-invert to prevent from confusion

LD7_CRF1h; GPIO17~10 data port, for input pin, get status from the related bit, for output pin, write value to the related bit.

For example,

LD7_CRF0h_Bit4.P0; Let GPIO14 as output pin

LD7_CRF2h_Bit4.P0; Let CRF1_Bit4 non-inverted

LD7_CRF1h_Bit4.P0; Output “0” to GPIO14 pin (J18_Pin4)

LD7_CRF0h_Bit0.P1; Let GPIO10 as input pin

LD7_CRF2h_Bit0.P0; Let CRF1_Bit0 non-inverted

Read LD7_CRF1h_Bit0; Read the status from GPIO10 pin (J18_Pin3)


System Installation

How to access W83627THF CR?

In BLUEBOARD, the EFER = 002Eh, and EFDR = 002Fh.

EFER and EFDR are 2 IO ports needed to access W83627THF CR.

EFER is the Index Port, EFDR is the Data Port.

CR index number needs to be written into EFER first. Then the data will be read/written from/to EFDR. To R/W W83627THF CR, it is needed to Enter/Enable

Configuration Mode first. When completing the programming, it is suggested to

Exit/Disable Configuration Mode.

Enter Configuration Mode: Write 87h to IO port EFER twice.

Exit Configuration Mode: Write AAh to IO port EFER.

Example

Define GPIO4 as output pin, and output “0” to this pin. mov dx,2eh ; Enter Configuration Mode mov al,87h out dx,al jmp $+2 out dx,al mov dx,2eh mov al,29h ; Read CR29 out dx,al mov dx,2fh in al,dx and al,3Fh or al,40h ; CR29_Bit[7..6].P[0,1] mov ah,al mov dx,2eh mov al,2Ah out dx,al mov dx,2fh mov al,ah out dx,al mov dx,2eh mov al,07h ; Point to LDN7 out dx,al mov dx,2fh mov al,07h out dx,al mov dx,2eh ; Read CR30 mov al,30h out dx,al

BIOS Setup Information

BLUEBOARD is equipped with the AWARD BIOS stored in Flash ROM. These BIOS has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration easily. This type of information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it is retained during power-off periods. When system is turned on, BLUEBOARD communicates with peripheral devices and checks its hardware resources against the configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. If any error is detected, or the CMOS parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic program will prompt the user to enter the SETUP program. Some errors are significant enough to abort the start-up.

4.1 Entering Setup

Turn on or reboot the computer. The message “Hit <DEL> if you want to run

SETUP” appears, press <Del> key immediately to enter BIOS setup program.

If the message disappears before you respond, but you still wish to enter Setup, please restart the system to try “COLD START” again by turning it OFF and then

ON, or touch the "RESET" button. You may also restart from “WARM START” by pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys simultaneously. If you do not press the keys at the right time and the system will not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to,

Press <F1> to Run SETUP or Resume

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get BLUEBOARD running with success. As basic hardware installation has been addressed in Chapter 2, this chapter will primarily focus on system integration issues, in terms of BIOS setting, and OS diagnostics.

5.1 Hardware Quick Installation

CPU Installation

Due to the design of BLUEBOARD, it only supports Yonah

/Merom Processor as wellknown as Intel ® Core Duo Processor. Before installing Processor, please ensure the processor chosen is the right one. Regarding to processor information, please refer to

Intel website

(1) Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a tri-angle on CPU upper interface. Math

Pin and tri-angle, and then insert the CPU into the socket as Figure 5-1.


Figure 5-1

5-1

Troubleshooting

(2) After CPU is installed, please make CPU has been secure. To secure installed processor, please refer to Figure 5-2

Figure 5-2

P4 Power connector

Unlike Most Pentium-M solution motherboards, +12V CPU Supplementary Power connector is required on BLUEBOARD. It is because

DSM AG wants to provide customer better performance and more reliable system. By using this CPU

Supplementary will enhance the power drawing to the motherboard. However, J1,

+12V CPU Supplementary Power connector must be connected all the time.

Otherwise, the system will fail to boot up. Please refer to Figure 5-3 to ensure J1 connected.


Figure 5-3

5-2

Troubleshooting

ATX Power Setting

This section would be more likely to introduce you how to set up ATX mode on your

BLUEBOARD series. Please refer to the following instruction.

Step 1: Connect 20-pin power cable of the ATX POWER with ATX POWER

CONNECTOR (20-pin) on the backplane. (Figure 5-4)

Figure 5-4

Step 2: Use 4-pin power cable to connect both ATX P/S Control Connector on backplane and ATX Power Control (J36) on Signal Board Computer.

(Figure5-5)


Figure 5-5

5-3

Troubleshooting

Step 3: Please adjust AT/ATX Jumper on JP6 to short 3-5, 4-6 pins, then it can support ATX power scheme. (Figure 5-6)

Step 4: Please connect 12V Power to CPU supplementary Power Connector (J28), which shows on Figure 5-3.

Figure 5-6

Step 5: Connect TOGGLE SWITCH with J20 connector on BLUEBOARD series

(Figure 5-7), which is used to power on ATX Power Supply. Generally, the

TOGGLE SWITCH is located on the chassis of front panel.


Figure 5-7

5-4

Troubleshooting

AT Power Setting

This section will introduce you how to quickly and appropriately set up AT power on your system.

Step 1: Please adjust AT/ATX Jumper on JP6 to short 1-3, 2-4 pins, then it can support AT power scheme. (Figure 5-8)

Figure 5-8

Note:

If current Power setting is at ATX mode, please clean CMOS first before adjusting

Power setting to AT mode. Otherwise, system would not boot up properly.

Step 2: Remove 4 pins power cable, and then put a jumper back on pin 3 (PS-ON) and pin 4 (GND) of backplane ATX P/S control connector. (Figure 5-9)


Figure 5-9

Troubleshooting

Serial ATA Hardware and SATA RAID Installation

Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a time; there are total two connectors, J16 and J17. The installation of Serial ATA is simpler and easier than IDE, because SATA hard disk doesn’t require setting up

Master and Slave, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation. All you need to do is to plug in two cables and enable SATA in System BIOS. (The Serial ATA hard disk of installation, please see figure 5-10 as a below)

Figure 5-10

After done with the installation of SATA hardware, please enter system BIOS to enable Serial ATA function. Otherwise, Serial hardware won’t be recognized. To enable SATA function, please see as following:

System BIOS

Integrated Peripherals

On Chip IDE Device …………………. [Press enter]

On-Chip Serial ATA……..… [Auto]

Besides, BLUEBOARD

also supports RAID 0 and 1 functions. To enable SATA

RAID function, On-Chip Serial ATA must be set to “Enhanced Mode”. After that,

SATA Mode option will be unmasked automatically. Please set SATA Mode from

“IDE” to “RAID”, and then save reboot system after saving the new setting. Please refer to the following picture.


Troubleshooting

After rebooting system, you will see the RAID Configuration Utility appear during the post stage. However, to enter RAID Configuration Utility, please press

“<CTRL+I>”

After entering RAID Configuration Utility, you will be able to Create, Delete, and

Rest RAID Volume. Besides, RAID 0 and 1 can also be configured here as well.


Troubleshooting

After configuring RAID, make sure you have RAID driver diskette ready before starting to install your operating system. As for RAID driver diskette, please kindly check

DSM AG Driver CD. Besides, to install RAID driver from disk, “F6” must be pressed as soon as system boots up from Windows XP installation CD.


Troubleshooting

After “F6”, the following picture will be seen to specify RAID driver

As you see the above picture, please select “Intel® 82801GHM SATA RAID

Controller (Desktop ICH7MDH)”, and now you are ready to start your Windows

XP storage partition configuration.


Troubleshooting

5.2 Frequency Asking Questions

Q: I have one IDE hard disk and one SATA hard disk. How can I assign SATA

Hard disk as First boot device?

A: After entering system BIOS, access Advanced BIOS Feature. And then press enter on Hard disk boot Priority. You will see the mode of your SATA hard disk. Select it as first boot device. Besides, please also notice. Every time, when your hard disk devices have been changed, system bios will ask you to re-setup Hard disk boot priority.

Q: Since BLUEBOARD has two Giga LAN onboard, can BLUEBOARD support

Intel fault tolerance function, or what people called teaming function?

A: Yes, BLUEBOARD fully supports teaming function without any required change.

What has to be done is to install Intel PRO drivers we provided in

DSM AG Driver

CD, and then go to device manager to enable teaming function. However, for further information, please feel free to contact

[email protected], we can send teaming function guideline to you.

Q: I am using an ATA-66 (or 100) hard drive, how can I know that ATA-66 function is enabled?

A: You need to use the 80-pin ATA-66 IDE flat cable to have this function. During the Post phase, you can see ATA-66 (or 100) message while hard drive is being detected. Besides, after installing Microsoft series OS successfully, you also need to Install ATA-66/100 driver to active ATA-66/100 function.

5.3 BIOS Setting

It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the devices cables required before turning on AT or ATX power. CPU, CPU Fan, 240-pin

DDR2 SDRAM, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, IDE hard disk, printer, VGA connector, device cables, ATX accessories or 12V 4-pin power cable are good examples that deserve attention. With no assurance of properly and correctly accommodating these modules and devices, it is very possible to encounter system failures that result in malfunction of any device.

To make sure that you have a successful start with BLUEBOARD, it is recommended, when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit “DEL” key and enter the BIOS setup menu to tune up a stable BIOS configuration so that you can wake up your system far well.


Troubleshooting

Loading the default optimal setting

When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to “Load Optimal

Defaults”, press “Enter” and “Y” to load in default optimal BIOS setup. This will force your BIOS setting back to the initial factory configuration. It is recommended to do this so you can be sure the system is running with the BIOS setting that

DSM AG has highly endorsed. As a matter of fact, users can load the default BIOS setting any time when system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence.

Auto Detect Hard Disks

In the BIOS => Standard CMOS setup menu, pick up any one from

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave IDE ports, and press “Enter”. Setup the selected

IDE port and its access mode to “Auto”. This will force system to automatically pick up the IDE devices that are being connected each time system boots up.

Improper disable operation

There are too many occasions where users disable a certain device/feature in one application through BIOS setting. These variables may not be set back to the original values when needed. These devices/features will certainly fail to be detected.

When the above conditions happen, it is strongly recommended to check the BIOS settings. Make sure certain items are set as they should be. These include the floppy drive, COM1/COM2 ports, Parallel port, USB ports, external cache, on-board VGA and Ethernet.

It is also very common that users would like to disable a certain device/port to release IRQ resource. A few good examples are

Disable COM1 serial port to release IRQ #4

Disable COM2 serial port to release IRQ #3

Disable Parallel port to release IRQ #7

Disable PS/2 mouse to release IRQ #12,

Etc…


Troubleshooting

A quick review of the basic IRQ mapping is given below for your reference.

IRQ# Description

IRQ #0 System Counter

IRQ #1 Keyboard

IRQ #2 Programmed Controller

IRQ #3 COM2

IRQ #4 COM1

IRQ #5 Display, Network, USB 1.0/1.1 UHCI

Controller

IRQ #6 Floppy Disk Controller

IRQ #7 Printer Port (Parallel Port)

IRQ #8 CMOS Clock

IRQ #9 ACPI Controller

IRQ #10 USB 1.0/1.1 UHCI Controller, Multimedia

IRQ #12 SMBus , USB 1.0/1.1 UHCI, USB 2.0 EHCI

Controller

IRQ #13 PS/2 mouse

IRQ #14 Data Processor

IRQ #15 Primary IDE Controller

It is then very easy to find out which IRQ resource is ready for additional peripherals. If IRQ resource is not enough, please disable some devices listed above to release further IRQ numbers.
