Upgrading and ESD precautions
WARNING
Unplug the system before carrying out the procedures described in this document.
Failure to disconnect power before you open the system can result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present in this
product. Power switch terminals can have hazardous Voltages present even when the
power switch is off.
The procedures assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with
personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required
for using and modifying electronic equipment.
Do not operate the system with the cover removed. Always replace the cover before
turning on the system.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this computer may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked by the letter Eor by the safety Earth symbol Ωor coloured green or green-and-
yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter Nor coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter Lor coloured red.
CAUTION!
The Viglen D955XBK motherboard
and associated components are
sensitive electronic devices. A small
static shock from your body can
cause expensive damage to your
equipment.
Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer case. If you
are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a qualified engineer can
perform the upgrade.

STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:
1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your local
electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static charge will be
harmlessly bled to ground.
2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you are about to
install it.
3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.
Note:
We recommend that you return your computer to the service department for upgrading. Any
work carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only be carried out by persons who are
familiar with handling IC's, as incorrect installation will invalidate the guarantee.

•Front panel connections
The following are all connectors situated along the front edge of the motherboard. They are
often connected to buttons and LED’s situated on the front panel.
Figure 3. Front panel connectors
A-Hard Disk L.E.D. Connector
This goes to the Hard Disk L.E.D. on the front panel, which lights up when the IDE Hard Disk is
in use.
B - Reset switch connector
When these pins are shorted, it will cause the computer to perform a cold reboot.
C - Power L.E.D.
This attaches to the power L.E.D on the front panel, to display if the computer is active or not.
D- Power On/Off
When these pins are shorted it turns the computer on and off.

•Jumper settings
CAUTION Do not move any jumpers with the power on. Always turn off the power and unplug
the power cord from the computer before changing a jumper setting. Otherwise, the board could
be damaged.
Figure 5. Motherboard jumper.
BIOS Setup Configuration Jumper (J6J2) Settings
The 3-pin jumper block determines the BIOS Setup program's mode. The table below describes
the jumper settings for the three modes: normal, configure, and recovery. When the jumper is
set to configure mode and the computer is powered-up, the BIOS compares the processor
version and the microcode version in the BIOS and reports if the two match.
Table 4.
V1.0 Page 9 of 17
Function/Mode Jumper Setting Configuration
Normal 1-2 13The BIOS uses current configuration information and passwords for
booting.
Configure 2-3 After the POST runs, Setup runs automatically. The maintenance menu
is displayed.
Recovery None The BIOS attempts to recover the BIOS configuration. A recovery
diskette is required.

System Memory
The boards have four DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:
• 1.8 V and 1.9V DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organization are not supported.
• 8 GB maximum total system memory total amount of addressable memory.
• Minimum total system memory: 128 MB
• ECC and Non-ECC DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR2 667 MHz or DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
NOTES
• Remove the PCI Express x16 video card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid
interference with the memory retention mechanism.
• To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is
installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.
The following table lists the supported DIMM configurations.

SDRAM) and "SS" refers to single-sided memory modules (containing one row of DDR SDRAM).
