1.6 Architecture Overview

1.6.1 Block Diagram The following block diagram shows the architecture and main components of ESM-2740/2743.
The following sections provide detail information about the functions provided onboard.
Users Manual
1.6.2 Intel RG82855GME and FW82801DB (for ESM-2740) The Intel 855GM/855GME GMCH components provide the processor interface, DDR SDRAM interface, display interface, and Hub interface. The Intel 855GME also has an option for AGP external graphics port, in addition to integrated graphics support for added board flexibility options. The Intel 855GM GMCH is in a 732-pin Micro-FCBGA package and contains the following functionality listed below: AGTL+ host bus supporting 32-bit host addressing with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology support Supports a single channel of DDR SDRAM memory System memory supports DDR200/266 MHz (SSTL_2) DDR SDRAM Integrated graphics capabilities: Display Core frequency at 133 MHz or 200 MHz Render Core frequency at 100 MHz ,133 MHz, and 200 MHz Provides supports four display ports: one progressive scan analog monitor, dual channel LVDS interface and two DVO port. The Intel 855GME GMCH is in a 732-pin Micro-FCBGA package and contains all features listed above and the additional functionality list below: Display Core frequency at 133 MHz, 200 MHz, or 250 MHz Render Core frequency at 100 MHz ,133 MHz, 166 MHz, 200 MHz, or 250 MHz System memory supports 200/266/333- MHz (SSTL_2) DDR SDRAM. Enhanced Power Management Graphics features The GMCH IGD provides a highly integrated graphics accelerator delivering high performance 2D, 3D, and video capabilities. With its interfaces to UMA using a DVMT configuration, an analog display, a LVDS port, and two digital display ports (e.g. flat panel), the GMCH can provide a complete graphics solution. The GMCH also provides 2D hardware acceleration for block transfers of data (BLTs). The BLT engine provides the ability to copy a source block of data to a destination and perform raster operations (e.g., ROP1, ROP2, and ROP3) on the data using a pattern, and/or another destination. Performing these common tasks in hardware reduces CPU load, and thus improves performance. High bandwidth access to data is provided through the system memory interface. The GMCH uses Tiling architecture to increase system memory efficiency and thus maximize effective rendering bandwidth. The Intel 855GM/855GME GMCH improves 3D performance and quality with 3D Zone rendering technology. The Intel 855GME GMCH also supports Video Mixer rendering, and Bi-Cubic filtering.
ESM-2740/2743
The Intel 855GM/855GME GMCH has four display ports, one analog and three digital. With these interfaces, the GMCH can provide support for a progressive scan analog monitor, a dedicated dual channel LVDS LCD panel, and two DVO devices. Each port can transmit data according to one or more protocols. The data that is sent out the display port is selected from one of the two possible sources, Pipe A or Pipe B. The Intel 855GM/855GME GMCH have an integrated dual channel LFP Transmitter interface to support LVDS LCD panel resolutions up to UXGA The display pipe provides panel up-scaling to fit a smaller source image onto a specific native panel size, as well as provides panning and centering support. The LVDS port is only supported on Pipe B. The LVDS port can only be driven by Pipe B, either independently or simultaneously with the Analog Display port. Spread Spectrum Clocking is supported: center and down spread support of 0.5%, 1%, and 2.5% utilizing an external SSC clock. The DVO B/C interface is compliant with the DVI Specification 1.0. When combined with a DVI compliant external device (e.g. TMDS Flat Panel Transmitter, TV-out encoder, etc.), the GMCH provides a high-speed interface to a digital or analog display (e.g. flat panel, TV monitor, etc.). The DVO ports are connected to an external display device. Examples of this are TV-out encoders, external DACs, LVDS transmitters, and TMDS transmitters. Each display port has control signals that may be used to control, configure and/or determine the capabilities of an external device. The GMCH provides two DVO ports that are each capable of driving a 165-MHz pixel clock at the DVO B or DVO C interface. When DVO B and DVO C are combined into a single DVO port, then an effective pixel rate of 330 MHz can be achieved. The DVO B/C ports can be driven by Pipe A or Pipe B. If driven on Pipe B, then the LVDS port must be disabled. The ICH4 is a highly integrated multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that provides the interface to the PCI Bus and integrates many of functions needed in todays PC platform. The GMCH and ICH4 communicate over a dedicated hub interface. The 82801DB ICH4 functions and capabilities include: PCI Rev. 2.2 compliant with support for 33MHz PCI operations Supports up to 6 Request/Grant pairs (PCI slots) Power management logic support Enhanced DMA controller, interrupt controller, and timer functions Integrated IDE controller; Ultra ATA/100/66/33 USB host interface; 3 host controllers and supports 6 USB ports; includes a EHCI high-speed 2.0 USB controller

2.3 Jumper and Connector List

You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To close a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To open a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. Connectors on the board are linked to external devices such as hard disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your application. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes. The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers and connectors.

2.4.5 Signal Description ETX Connector X2 (ETXB) 2.4.5.1 ISA Signals

Signal Signal Description These signals provide data bus bits 0 to 15 for any peripheral devices. All 8-bit devices use SD[0:7] for data transfers. 16-bit devices use SD[0:15]. To support 8-bit devices, the data on SD[8:15] is gated to SD[0:7] during 8-bit transfers to these devices. 16-bit CPU cycles will be automatically converted into two 8-bit cycles for 8-bit peripherals. Address bits 0 through 15 are used to address I/O devices. Address bits 0 through 19 are used to address memory within the system. These 20 address lines, in addition to LA[17:23] allow access of up to 16MB of memory. SA[0:19] are gated on the ISA-bus when BALE is high and latched on to the falling edge of BALE. Bus High Enable indicates a data transfer on the upper byte of the data bus SD[8:15]. 16-bit I/O devices use SBHE# to enable data bus buffers on SD[8:15]. BALE is an active-high pulse generated at the beginning of any bus cycle initiated by a CPU module. It indicates when the SA[0:19], LA17.23, AEN, and SBHE# signals are valid. AEN is an active-high output that indicates a DMA transfer cycle. Only resources with a active DACK# signal should respond to the command lines when AEN is high. MEMR# instructs memory devices to drive data onto the data bus. MEMR# is active for all memory read cycles. SMEMR# instructs memory devices to drive data onto the data bus. SMEMR# is active for memory read cycles to addresses below 1MB. MEMW# instructs memory devices to store the data present on the data bus. MEMW# is active for all memory write cycles. SMEMW# instructs memory devices to store the data present on the data bus. SMEMW# is active for all memory write cycles to address below 1MB. I/O read instructs an I/O device to drive its data onto the data bus. It may be driven by the CPU or by the DMA controller. IOR# is inactive (high) during refresh cycles. I/O write instructs an I/O device to store the data present on the data bus. It may be driven by the CPU or by the DMA controller. IOW# is inactive (high) during refresh cycles. IOCHK# is an active-low input signal that indicates that an error has occurred on the module bus. If I/O checking is enabled on the CPU module, an IOCHK# assertion by a peripheral device sends a NMI to the processor. The I/O Channel Ready is pulled low in order to extend the read or write cycles of any bus access when required. The CPU, DMA controllers or refresh controller can initiate the cycle. Any peripheral that cannot present read data or strobe in write data within this amount of time use IOCHRDY to extend these cycles. This signal should not be held low for more than 2.5 s for normal operation. Any extension to more than 2.5 s does not guarantee proper DRAM memory content due to the fact that memory refresh is disabled while IOCHRDY is low. The M16# signal determines when a 16-bit to 8-bit conversion is needed for memory bus cycles. A conversion is done any time the CPU module requests a 16-bit memory cycle while the M16# line is high. If M16# is high, 16-bit CPU cycles are automatically converted on the bus into two 8-bit cycles. If M16# is low, an access to peripherals is done 16 bits wide. The IO16# signal determines when a 16-bit to 8-bit conversion is needed for I/O bus cycles. A conversion is done any time the CPU module requests a 16-bit I/O cycle while the IO16# line is high. If IO16# is high, 16-bit CPU cycles are automatically converted on the bus into two 8-bit cycles. If IO16# is low, an access to peripherals is done at 16 bit width.

IRQ [3:7, 9,15]
Signal Description REFSH# is pulled low whenever a refresh cycle is initiated. A refresh cycle is activated every 15.6 us in order to prevent loss of DRAM data. The Zero wait state signal tells the CPU to complete the current bus cycle without inserting the default wait states. By default the CPU inserts 4 wait states for 8-bit transfers and 1 wait state for 16-bit transfers. This signal is used with a DRQ line to gain control of the system bus. A processor or a DMA controller on the I/O channel may issue a DRQ to a DMA channel in cascade mode and receive a DACK#. Upon receiving the DACK#, a bus master may pull MASTER# low, which will allow it to control the system address, data and control lines. After MASTER# is low, the bus master must wait one system clock period before driving the address and data lines, and two clock periods before issuing a read or write command. If this signal is held low for more than 15 us, system memory may be lost as memory refresh is disabled during this process. SYSCLK is supplied by the CPU module and has a nominal frequency of about 8 MHz with a duty cycle of 40-60 percent. The frequency supplied by different CPU modules may vary. This signal is supplied at all times except when the CPU module is in sleep mode. OSC is supplied by the CPU module. It has a nominal frequency of 14.31818 MHz and a duty cycle of 40-60 percent. This signal is supplied at all times except when the CPU module is in sleep mode. This active-high output is system reset generated from CPU modules. It is responsible for resetting external devices. The asynchronous DMA request inputs are used by external devices to indicate when they need service from the CPU modules DAM controllers. DREQ0..3 are used for transfers between 8-bit I/O adapters and system memory. DREQ5..7 are used for transfers between 16-bit I/O adapters and system memory. DRQ4 is not available externally. All DRQ pins have pull-up resistors on the CPU modules. DMA acknowledge 0..3 and 5.7 are used to acknowledge DMA requests. They are active-low. The active-high output TC indicates that one of the DMA channels has transferred all data. These are the asynchronous interrupt request lines. IRQ0, 1, 2 and 8 are not available as external interrupts because they are used internally on the CPU module. All IRQ signals are active-high. The interrupt requests are prioritized. IRQ9 through IRQ12 and IRQ14 through IRQ15 have the highest priority (IRQ9 is the highest). IRQ3 through IRQ7 have the lowest priority (IRQ7 is the lowest). An interrupt request is generated when an IRQ line is raised from low to high. The line must be held high until the CPU acknowledges the interrupt request (interrupt service routine).

2 BIOS Setup
Note: Installation procedures and screen shots in this section are for your reference and may not be exactly the same as shown on your screen.
ESM-2740/2743
3.1 Starting Setup

The AwardBIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system. While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways: By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test). Press DEL to enter SETUP
If the message disappears before you 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, DEL to enter SETUP

3.3 Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again.
3.4 In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults. The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

3.5.3 Advanced Chipset Features This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system. The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.
3.5.3.1 DRAM Timing Selectable This item allows you to select the DRAM timing value by SPD data or Manual by yourself. The choice: Manual, By SPD. 3.5.3.2 CAS Latency Time This item controls the time delay (in clock cycles - CLKs) that passes before the SDRAM starts to carry out a read command after receiving it. This also determines the number of CLKs for the completion of the first part of a burst transfer. In other words, the lower the latency, the faster the transaction. The Choices: 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.
ESM-2740/2743
3.5.3.3 Active to Precharge Delay This item is the minimum delay time between Active and Precharge. The Choices: 5, 6, 7. 3.5.3.4 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay This option allows you to insert a delay between the RAS (Row Address Strobe) and CAS (Column Address Strobe) signals. This delay occurs when the SDRAM is written to, read from or refreshed. Naturally, reducing the delay improves the performance of the SDRAM while increasing it reduces performance. The Choices: 2, 3. 3.5.3.5 DRAM RAS# Precharge This option sets the number of cycles required for the RAS to accumulate its charge before the SDRAM refreshes. Reducing the precharge time to 2 improves SDRAM performance but if the precharge time of 2 is insufficient for the installed SDRAM, the SDRAM may not be refreshed properly and it may fail to retain data So, for better SDRAM performance, set the SDRAM RAS Precharge Time to 2 but increase it to 3 if you face system stability issues after reducing the precharge time. The Choices: 2, 3. 3.5.3.6 DRAM Data Integrity Mode Select ECC if your memory module supports it. The memory controller will detect and correct single-bit soft memory errors. The memory controller will also be able to detect double-bit errors though it will not be able to correct them. This provides increased data integrity and system stability. The choices: ECC, Non ECC. 3.5.3.7 MGM Core Frequency This field sets the frequency of the DRAM memory installed. The choices: Auto Max 266MHz, 400/266/133/200 MHz, 400/200/100/200 MHz, 400/200/100/133 MHz, 400/266/133/267 MHz, 533/266/133/200 MHz, 533/266/133/266 MHz, 533/333/166/266 MHz, 400/333/166/250 MHz, Auto Max 400/333 MHz, Auto Max 533/333. 3.5.3.8 System BIOS Cacheable This feature is only valid when the system BIOS is shadowed. It enables or disables the caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh via the L2 cache. This greatly speeds up accesses to the system BIOS. However, this does not translate into better system performance because the OS does not need to access the system BIOS much. The Choice: Disabled, Enabled.
Users Manual
3.5.3.9 Video BIOS Cacheable This feature is only valid when the video BIOS is shadowed. It enables or disables the caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-C7FFFh via the L2 cache. This greatly speeds up accesses to the video BIOS. However, this does not translate into better system performance because the OS bypasses the BIOS using the graphics driver to access the video card's hardware directly. The Choice: Enabled, Disabled. 3.5.3.10 Memory Hole At 15M-16M Enabling this feature reserves 15MB to 16MB memory address space to ISA expansion cards that specifically require this setting. This makes the memory from 15MB and up unavailable to the system. Expansion cards can only access memory up to 16MB. The choice: Enable, Disable. 3.5.3.11 Delayed Transaction This feature is used to meet the latency of PCI cycles to and from the ISA bus. The ISA bus is much, much slower than the PCI bus. Thus, PCI cycles to and from the ISA bus take a longer time to complete and this slows the PCI bus down. However, enabling Delayed Transaction enables the chipset's embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delayed transaction cycles. This means that transactions to and from the ISA bus are buffered and the PCI bus can be freed to perform other transactions while the ISA transaction is underway. This option should be enabled for better performance and to meet PCI 2.1 specifications. Disable it only if your PCI cards cannot work properly or if you are using an ISA card that is not PCI 2.1 compliant. The Choice: Enabled, Disabled. 3.5.3.12 Delay Prior to Thermal When you system temperature higher, you can set the DRAM access time slowdown between on 4 min 32 min delay. The choice: 4 Min, 8 Min, 16 Min, and 32 Min. 3.5.3.13 AGP Aperture Size Select the size of Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. The Choice: 4MB,8MB,16MB.32MB, 64MB,128MB,256MB. 3.5.3.14 On-Chip VGA This item is enabled as the onboard VGA is used. The Choices: Enabled, Disabled.

Appendix B: AWARD BIOS POST Messages
Users Manual
Overview
During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message. If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by: PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP
Post Beep
Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps. The other code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.
Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST. This list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS. 1. CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced. 2. CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary. 3. DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the drive does not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and press <Enter>. If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system. 4. DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly.
ESM-2740/2743
5. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection. 6. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed. You must configure the system for the new display type. 7. EISA Configuration Checksum Error PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly read the EISA slot. This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has been configured incorrectly. Also be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot. 8. EISA Configuration Is Not Complete PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility. 9. ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE Hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. 10. ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the hard drive. 11. FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the controller is installed correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE.

Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility. 13. KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being pressed during the boot. If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot. 14. Memory Address Error at ... Indicates a memory address error at a specific location. You can use this location along with the memory map for your system to find and replace the bad memory chips. 15. Memory parity Error at ... Indicates a memory parity error at a specific location. You can use this location along with the memory map for your system to find and replace the bad memory chips. 16. MEMORY SIZE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode use Configuration Utility to reconfigure the memory configuration. In ISA mode enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory fields. 17. Memory Verify Error at ... Indicates an error verifying a value already written to memory. Use the location along with your system's memory map to locate the bad chip. 18. OFFENDING ADDRESS NOT FOUND This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem cannot be isolated. 19. OFFENDING SEGMENT: This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem has been isolated.
