1-7 CHIPSET

To compliment the Intel® Celeron processor, the Intel® 810 chipsets

delivers a balanced platform solution for value computing. The 810

chipset is a highly-integrated three-chip solution consisting of a Graphics

& Memory Controller (Intel 82810), an I/O Controller (Intel82801), and a

Firmware Hub (Intel 82802).

The ICH is a highly integrated multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that

provides the interface to the PCI Bus and integrates many of the functions

needed in today PC platforms. The ICH communicates with the host

controller over a dedicated hub interface. There are two versions of the

ICH (82801AA: ICH and 82801AB: ICH0). These devices are pin

compatible and are in 241-pin packages.

The Intel® 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) component is part of the Intel®

810 chipset. The FWH is key to enabling future security and

manageabilily infrastructures for the PC platform.

Intel has developed technology that enhances the performance and

exceptional value of the Intel® Celeron™ processor-powered PC. Built on

the strong foundation of Intel® 440BX AGPset technology, the Intel® 810

chipset has re-engineered the Value PC, providing next generation features

and great graphics performance at a lower cost.

Richer, more robust 2D and 3D graphics are optimized thanks to an

integrated chipset design that utilizes second-generation graphics

technology. This integrated chipset offers innovative features with

compelling performance while lowering overall system costs.

A new design with big benefits

At the core of the 810 chipset is a memory controller with built-in graphics

Motherboard Description SY-6IWM/L

technology. The 82810 chip optimizes system memory arbitration, similar

to AGP technology, resulting in a more responsive and cost-effective

system.

The 82810 Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) features Intel®

graphics technology and software drivers, using Direct AGP (integrated

AGP) to create vivid 2D and 3D effects and images. The 82810 chip

features integrated Hardware Motion Compensation to improve soft DVD

video quality and a digital video out port that enables connection to

traditional TVs or the new space-saving digital flat panel displays.

Intel® Dynamic Video Memory Technology (D.V.M.T.) is an architecture

that offers breakthrough performance for the Value PC segment through

efficient memory utilization and Direct AGP. The system OS uses the Intel

software drivers and intelligent memory arbiter to support richer graphics

applications.

The System Manageability Bus allows networking equipment to monitor

the 810 chipset platform. Using ACPI specifications, the system

manageability function enables low-power sleep mode and conserves

energy when the system is idle.

The 82801 I/O Controller Hub (ICH) employs the Intel® Accelerated Hub

Architecture to make a direct connection from the graphics and memory to

the integrated AC97 controller, the IDE controllers, dual USB ports, and

PCI add-in cards.

The Accelerated Hub Architecture provides twice the bandwidth of the

PCI bus at 266 MB per second. This allows a wider flow of rich

information from the I/O controller to the memory controller, with

optimized arbitration rules allowing more functions to run concurrently,

enabling more life-like audio and video.

Motherboard Description SY-6IWM/L

The Integrated Audio-Codec 97 controller enables software audio and

modem by using the processor to run sound and modem software. By

reusing existing system resources, this feature adds flexibility, and

improves sound quality.

The 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) stores system BIOS and video BIOS,

eliminating a redundant nonvolatile memory component. In addition, the

82802 contains a hardware Random Number Generator (RNG). The

Intel® RNG provides truly random numbers to enable fundamental

security building blocks supporting stronger encryption, digital signing,

and security protocols.

Intel 810 chipset re-engineers the Value PC by providing a platform

that will bring next generation features and great graphics performance to

Value PC while reducing overall platform cost.

1-7.1 Universal Serial Bus (USB)

The motherboard has two USB ports; one USB peripheral can be

connected to each port. For more than two USB devices, an external hub

can be connected to either port. The motherboard fully supports the

universal host controller interface (UHCI) and used UHCI-compatible

software drivers.

Specification USB features include:

l Self-identifying peripherals that can be plugged in while the

Motherboard Description SY-6IWM/L

computer is running

l Automatic mapping of function to driver and configuration

l Support for isochronous and asynchronous transfer types over the

same set of wires

l Support for up to 127 physical devices

l Guaranteed bandwidth and low latencies appropriate for telephony,

audio, and other applications

l Error-handling and fault-recovery mechanisms built into the protocol

Note

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port

may not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed

USB device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the

requirements for a full-speed USB device.

Motherboard Description SY-6IWM/L

1-7.2 IDE Support

The motherboard has two independent bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces.

These interfaces support PIO Mode3, PIO Mode 4, ATAPI devices (e.g.,

CD-ROM), and Ultra DMA/66 synchronous-DMA mode transfers. The

BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and extended cylinder head

sector (ECHS) translation modes. The BIOS automatically detects the IDE

device transfer rate and translation mode.

Programmed I/O operations usually require a substantial amount of

processor bandwidth. However, in multitasking operating systems, the

bandwidth freed by bus mastering IDE can be devoted to other tasks while

disk transfers are occurring.

The motherboard also supports laser servo (LS-120) drives. LS-120

technology allows the user to perform read/write operations to LS-120

(120MB) and conventional 1.44MB and 720KB diskettes. An optical

servo system is used to precisely position a dual-gap head to access the

diskett’s 2,490 tracks per inch (tpi) containing up to 120 MB of data

storage. A conventional diskette uses 135 tpi for 1.44 MB of data storage.

LS-120 drivers are ATAPI-compatible and connect to the motherboard’s

IDE interface. (LS-120 drives are also available with SCJSI and parallel

port interfaces.) Some versions of Windows 95 and Windows NT

operating systems recognize the LS-120 drive as a bootable device in both

120 MB and 1.44 MB mode.

Connection of an LS-120 drive and a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive is

allowed. The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device if selected

as Drive A in the BIOS setup program.

Note

If you connect at LS-120 drive to an IDE connector and configure it as

the :boot: drive and configure a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive as a “B”

drive, the standard diskette drive is not seen by the operating system.

When the LS-120 drive is configured as the “boot: device, the system will

recognize it as both the A and B drive

Motherboard Description SY-6IWM/L

1-7.3 Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery

The real-time clock is compatible with DS1287 and MC146818

l Compatible (standard mode)

l Bi-directional (PS/2 compatible)

l Bi-directional EPP. A driver from the peripheral manufacturer is

required for operation.

l Bi-directional high-speed ECP

1-8.3 Diskette Drive Controller

The I/O controller is software compatible with the 82077 diskette drive

controller and supports both PC-AT and PS/2 modes. In the Setup

program, the diskette drive interface can be configured for the following

diskette drive capacities and sizes.

l 360 KB, 5.25-inch

l 1.2 MB, 5.25-inch

l 720 KB, 3.5-inch

l 1.2 MB. 3.5-inch (driver required)

l 1.25-1.44 MB, 3.5-inch

l 2.88 MB, 3.5-inch

1-8.4 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Interface

PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are located on the back panel of the

motherboard. The +5 V lines to these connectors are protected with a fuse

circuit that, like a self-healing fuse, reestablishes the connection after an

over-current condition is removed.

Note

The mouse and keyboard can be plugged into either PS/2 connector.

Power to the computer should be turned off before a keyboard or mouse is

connected or disconnected.

The keyboard controller contains code, which provides the traditional

keyboard and mouse control functions, and also supports Power On/Reset

password protection. Power On/Reset password can be specified in the

BIOS Setup program.

The keyboard controller also supports the hot-key sequence

Motherboard Description SY-6IWM/L

<Ctrl><Alt><Del>, software reset. This key sequence resets the

computer’s software by jumping to the beginning of the BIOS code and

When suggested ratings for temperature, fan speed, or voltage are

exceeded, an interrupt is activated. The hardware monitor component

connects to the SMBus.

1-11 WAKE ON LAN TECHNOLOGY

Wake on LAN technology enables remote wakeup of the computer

through a network. Wake on LAN technology requires a PCI add-in

network interface card (NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remote

wakeup connector on the NIC must be connected to the onboard Wake on

LAN technology connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the MII

interface; upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal

that powers up the computer. To access this feature uses the Wake on LAN

technology connector.

CAUTION

For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be

capable of delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate

standby current when implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power

supply.

Sometimes a DIMM that is not inserted properly can cause boot

problems.

2. Check whether all Add-on cards have been inserted properly. Re-

insert the Add-on cards to make sure that they make proper contact

with the slots. Try removing all Add-on cards one by one to see

whether or not one of them is causing problems. (Switch the system

off before removing any of the cards.

3. Verify that speed settings are not exceeding specifications. This

applies to the PCI bus, that is specified to run at 33 MHz. Also check

the speed setting for the memory, make sure conservative setting is

used. If the CPU is overclocked the system may not start up, read the

section below.

4. Make sure that the Harddisk IDE cables are attached properly, if not

the system will not boot. In case of doubt try reversing the IDE

connector on one end of the cable.

5. Verify that the 110/220V switch on the back of the power supply is

set correctly.

6. Go through the jumper setting section again to make sure that all

jumpers are set correctly.
