Installation
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to
connect jumper pins (JP) on the Single-board Computer. See“Map of the
Single-board Computer”for locations of jumpers. The jumper setting will
be described numerically such as

,

for no connection, connect pins 1 & 2, and connect pin 2 & 3 respectively.
Pin 1 for our Single-board Computers is always on top or on the left when
holdingtheSingle-board Computer with the keyboard connector away from
you.A“1”iswrittenbesidespin1onjumperswiththreepins.Thejumpers
will also be shown graphically such as to connect pins 1 & 2 and to connect
pin 2 & 3. Jumpers with two pins will be shown as for Short (On) and for
Open (Off). For manufacturing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing pins
fromothergroups.Use the diagramsinthismanualinsteadof followingthe
pin layout on the board. Settings with two jumper numbers require that both
jumpers be moved together. To connect the pins, simply place a plastic
jumper cap over the two pins as diagrammed.
2.1 Static Electricity Precautions
Under the right conditions, static electricity will build up. If you touch the
board or other sensitive components, the build-up will discharge into the
components and circuitry. Computer components are sensitive to damage
from static electric discharge. They can be damaged or destroyed if the
dischargeispowerfulenough.Staticbuild-up is most likely to occur in dryer
and cooler conditions but it is always important to be cautious.

2.2 Installation Steps
Before using your computer, you must follow the six steps as follows:
1. Set Jumpers on the Single-board Computer
2. Install SDRAM on board
3. Install Celeron CPU or Pentium III FC-PGA CPU intoSocket 370.
4. Plug into PICMG PCI/ISA Backplane
5. Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet wires, and Power supply
6. Setup the BIOS Software
2.3 CPU Type and BUS Clock Speed Selector
JP5/JP6/JP7, JP1/JP2/JP3/JP4
Bus & CPU External Clock Selector: JP5, JP6 and JP7
These jumpers tell the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU.
These allow the selection of the CPU's External frequency (or BUS Clock).
The BUS Clock times the BUS Ratio equals the CPU's internal frequency.
(The advertised CPU Speed) Set the jumpers by the internal speed of the
Intel CPU as follows:

CPU to Bus Frequency Ratio: JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4
These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the internal frequency of the
CPU and the External frequency (Called the BUS Clock) within the CPU.
These must be set together with the above jumpers CPU External (BUS)
Frequency Selector. Set the jumpers by the internal speed of the Intel CPU

You can use this jumper to clear the CMOS memory that stores the BIOS
Setup Utility configuration record, including any passwords. After clearing
the CMOS memory you must run the BIOS Setup Utility again to create and
store a new configuration record.

2.7 System Memory Installations
The NUPRO-710 supports three 128-pin DIMMs for SDRAMs or EDO
DRAMs of either 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB or 256MB to form a
memory size between 8MB to 768MB.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix SDRAMs or EDO DRAMs .
To use Error Checking and Correction (ECC), you must used a DIMM
module with 9 chips per side (e.g. 8 chips + 1 parity chips) and make the
proper settings in the BIOS Chipset Feature Setup.
Install memory in any combination as follows:
DIMM socket 168-pin DIMM Memory Module
DIMM Slot 1 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
SDRAM or EDO

2.8 Expansion Card installations
First read your expansion card documentation on any hardware and
software setting that may be required to setup your specific card.
Expansion Card Installation Procedure
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card.
2. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card.
3. Carefully align the card's connectors and press firmly.
4. Setup the BIOS if necessary.
5. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.
Assigning IRQs for Expansion cards
Some expansion cards need to use an IRQ to operate. Generally an IRQ
must be exclusively assigned to one use. In a standard design there are 16
IRQs available but most of them are already in use by parts of the system
which leaves 6 free for expansion cards.

12 •Installation
BothISAand PCI expansion cards may need to use IRQs. System IRQs are
available to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first, and PCI cards
then use any remaining IRQs. Currently, there are two types of ISA cards.
The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as " Legacy " ISA
cards, requires that you configure the card's jumpers manually and then
install it in any available slot on the ISA bus. You may use Microsoft's
Diagnostic(MSD.EXE)utility includedintheWindowsdirectorytoseeamap
of you’re used and free IRQs. For Windows 95 users, the "Control Panel"
icon in " My computer" contains a "System" icon which give you a "Device
Manager"tab.Doubleclickingonaspecificdevicegiveyou"Resources"tab
which shows the Interrupt number and address. Make sure that no two
devices use the same IRQs or your computer will experience problems
when those two devices are in use at same time.
TosimplifythisprocessthisSingle-board Computer has complied with the
Plug and Play specification, which was, developed to allow automatic
system configuration whenever a PNP Compliant card is added to the
system. For PNP card, IRQs are assigned automatically from those
available.
If the System has both Legacy and PNP ISA Cards installed, IRQs are
assigned to PNP cards from those not used by Legacy cards. The PCI and
PNP configuration of the BIOS setup utility can be used to indicate which
IRQs are being used by Legacy cards. For older Legacy cards that does not
work with the BIOS. You can contact your vendor for an ISA Configuration
Utility.
An IRQ number is automatically assigned to PCI expansion cards after
those used by Legacy and PNP ISA cards. In the PCI bus design, the BIOS
AUTOassignsanIRQtoPCIslotthathasacardinitthatrequiresanIRQ.To
install a PCI card, you need to set something called the INT (Interrupt)
assignment. Since all the PCI slots on the NUPRO-710 use an INTA#, be
sure that the jumpers on your PCI cards are set to INTA.
Assigning DMA Channels for ISA Cards
SomeISAcards,bothLegacyandPNPmayalsoneedtouseaDMAchannel.
DMA assignments for the NUPRO-710 are handled the same way as the
IRQ assignment process described above. You can select a DMA channel
in the PCI and PNP configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility.
IMPORTANT: In BIOS setup, you should choose “YES” for those IRQ’s and
DMA’s you wish to reserve for Legacy (Non-PNP) ISA cards,
otherwise conflicts may occur.
