Important notes
!Pay attention to the information provided in the manual "Safety, Guarantee and
Ergonomics" and to the following notes. Be sure to read this page carefully and note the
information before you open the device.
• Store this manual close to the device. If you pass on the device to third parties, you should
also pass on this manual.
• You cannot access the components of the system board without first opening the device. How
to dismantle and reassemble the device is described in the Operating Manual accompanying
the device.
• Please note the information provided in the chapter "Safety" in the Operating Manual of the
device.
• Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion. It is therefore
essential to observe the instructions in the chapter „Add-on modules“ - „Replacing the lithium
battery“.
• The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type recommended
by the manufacturer (CR2032).
• Do not throw lithium batteries into the trashcan. It must be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations concerning special waste.
•
• Connecting cables for peripherals must be adequately insulated to avoid interference.
• Components can become very hot during operation. Make sure you do not touch components
when making extensions to the system board. There is a danger of burns!
The shipped version of this board complies with the requirements of the EEC directive
89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility".
Compliance was tested in a typical PC configuration.
When installing the board, refer to the specific installation information in the Operating
Manual or Technical Manual of the receiving device.
iThe warranty is invalidated if the device is damaged during the installation or
replacement of system expansions. Information on which system expansions you can
use is available from your sales outlet or the customer service center.

Write protection for floppy disks - switch 6
Switch 6 is used to define whether floppy disks can be written or deleted in the floppy disk drive. To
write and delete floppy disks, the write-protection in BIOS Setup must be disabled (in menu Security,
the field Diskette Write must be set to Enabled).
on The floppy disk drive is write-protected.
off Read, write and delete floppy disks is possible (default setting).
Skipping the password query - switch 7
Switch 7 is used to define whether the password is queried at system startup, if the password
protection is enabled in BIOS Setup (in Security menu , the Password field must be set to Enabled).
onThe password query is skipped.
offThe password query is effective (default setting).
Recovering System BIOS - switch 8
Switch 8 enables recovery of the old system BIOS after an attempt to update has failed. To restore
the old system BIOS you need a Flash BIOS Diskette (please call our customer service center).
on The system boots from the "Flash BIOS floppy disk" from Drive A and reprograms
the system BIOS on the board.
off The system is started with the system BIOS from the board. The system BIOS
cannot be reprogrammed (default setting).

Add-on modules
U41090-J-Z156-2-74 English - 11
Slot sequence
• An additional screen controller, e.g. Matrox Millennium II PCI, must be inserted into slot 1.
• 64 bit adapters should be inserted into 64 bit slots. Slots 6 and 7 must be used first.
Upgrading main memory
These slots are suitable for 32, 64, 128 and 256 Mbyte EDO-RAM memory modules of the DIMM
format. The organization in four memory banks A to D enables fast memory access with four-fold
interleave. The board supports a maximum of 4 Gbytes.
Four identical memory modules must be installed per memory bank. Partial equipping of a memory
bank is not possible. The equipping sequence of the memory banks is arbitrary.
Every slot has a unique address (e.g. 2B). The letter specifies the memory bank to which the slot
belongs, while the digit specifies the number of the slot within the memory bank. 2B therefore
designates slot 2 in memory bank B.
DIMM = Dual Inline Memory Module
EDO-RAM = Extended Data Output Random Access Memory
!You may only use buffered 3.3V memory modules. Unbuffered memory modules are not
permitted.

SCSI LVD connection
The SCSI LVD connection leads via a cable to an external standard SCSI connection. This makes it
possible to connect external SCSI devices to SCSI channel A of the onboard SCSI controller (see
the operating manual).
Replacing the lithium battery
!Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion.
The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type
recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032).
Do not throw lithium batteries into the trashcan. It must be disposed of in accordance with
local regulations concerning special waste.
Make sure that you insert the battery the right way round. The plus pole must be on the
top!
