Introduction

The Premiere/PCI II is a state-of-the-art computer platform delivering the latest microprocessor and I/O technology in an industry standard Baby-AT form factor. It is ideal for demanding desktop applications requiring the maximum in computing performance and I/O expansion flexibility.

The Pentium™ processor at iCOMP™ index 735 \ 90 MHz is complemented by a 256 KB second level write-back cache to provide workstation level computing performance. A Level 5 Pentium OverDrive™ socket provides access to future performance enhancements, and SIMM sockets support up to 128 MB of DRAM.

The Premiere/PCI II offers outstanding I/O capabilities. Three PCI local bus slots provide a high bandwidth data path for data-movement intensive functions such as graphics. An integrated RZ1000 IDE controller on the PCI local bus provides a high performance primary IDE interface, while an SMC 37C665 Super I/O component controls a floppy drive, secondary ISA IDE interface, two FIFO serial ports and an EPP/ECP-capable parallel port. Five ISA slots complete the I/O mix.

The Premiere/PCI II provides the foundation for cost effective, high performance, highly expandable platforms which deliver the latest in CPU and I/O technology.

Mechanical Drawing

The Premiere/PCI II baseboard conforms to the industry standard Baby-AT form factor. The Baby-AT form factor specifies maximum board size, board mounting locations, and connector locations for the keyboard connector, as well as expansion slot placement. In addition to complying with the standard, the Premiere/PCI II provides three slots which will accommodate high performance PCI local bus expansion cards.

Figure 1. Premiere/PCI II Baseboard dimensions.


CPU

The Premiere/PCI II Baby-AT Baseboard is designed to operate with 3.3 volt Pentium processors and is offered with the Pentium processor-735\90. This processor operates internally at 90 MHz while maintaining backward compatability with the 8086, 80286, i386™ and i486™ processors. It supports both read and write burst mode bus cycles, and includes seperate 8 KB on-chip code and data caches which employ a write-back policy. Also integrated into the Pentium processor-735\90 is an advanced numeric coprocessor which significantly increases the speed of floating point operations while maintaining backward compatibility with i486DX math coprocessors and complying with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.

Based on a 0.6 micron process, the Pentium processor-735\90 is driven by 3.3 volts Vcc (as opposed to 5 volts), reducing the power requirements of the Premiere/PCI II. A patented on-board voltage regulator circuit delivers the required 3.3 volts from the 12 volts provided by a standard PC power supply.

Future versions of the Pentium processor-735\90 plan to completely support Intel's SMM power-management operation. Systems using the Premiere/PCI II baseboard with these planned processors and low-power peripherals may qualify for the Energy Star computers program.


Performance Upgrade

A 296-pin Zero Insertion Force socket provides users with a Level 5 OverDrive processor performance upgrade path. An OverDrive processor being developed for use with this socket will provide performance beyond that delivered by the Pentium processor-735\90.


Second Level Cache

The processor's internal cache is complemented by a 256 KB direct mapped, write-back second level cache implemented with 32Kx8 SRAM devices. Tag and control logic is contained in the 82434NX PCMC core logic chip.


System Memory

The Premiere/PCI II baseboard provides four 72-pin SIMM sites for memory expansion. The sockets support 256K x 36 (1 MB), 512K x 36 (2 MB), 1M x 36 (4 MB), 2M x 36 (8 MB), 4M x 36 (16 MB), and 8M x 36 (32 MB) SIMM modules. Minimum memory size is 2 MB and maximum memory size, using four 8M x 36 SIMM modules, is 128 MB. Memory timing requires 70 ns fast page devices. Parity generation and checking is provided for each byte. The parity generation and checking circuitry is automatically enabled or disabled by the system BIOS depending on the type of DRAM installed. Parity will only be enabled if all installed DRAM SIMMs are 36 bits. Any installed 32 bit SIMMs, non-parity, will disable the parity circuit.

The four sockets are arranged as Bank A and Bank B, with each bank consisting of two sockets and providing a 64-bit wide data path and an optionally functional 8 bit parity path. Both SIMMs in a bank must be of the same memory size and type, although Banks A and B may have different types of memory installed. Bank A only, Bank B only, or both banks may be populated. There are no jumper settings required for the memory size, which is automatically detected by the system BIOS. Tin lead SIMMs are required to be used when adding DRAM.

The memory array is controlled by the Intel 83434NX PCMC and data buffering is provided by two Intel 82433NX Local Bus Extension devices.


Expansion Slots

Up to seven expansion slots may be populated on the Premiere/PCI II baseboard. Expansion cards are oriented perpendicular to the baseboard.

There are five ISA bus expansion connectors and three PCI expansion connectors. One slot is shared by connectors that will accommodate either an ISA or a PCI expansion card, but not both at the same time; thus accounting for the disparity between the number of slots and connectors. All three PCI expansion slots accept PCI master cards, and fully support the PCI specification.

The baseboard design limits the add-in card length of three slots. The height of the CPU heat sink limits the use of the two inner PCI connectors to short PCI cards, and SIMM memory will limit the length of cards installed in the outer ISA connector.

PCI 3.3 Volt Capabilities

To maintain strict compliance with the PCI specification, the baseboard provides a connector which can be used to route 3.3 volt power to the PCI slots. The connector may be used with a separate 3.3 volt power supply or with a custom designed voltage converter. Note that the on-board 3.3 volt regulator provides power for the CPU and not the PCI slots.


IDE SUPPORT

The Premiere/PCI II baseboard provides two IDE interfaces. The primary interface uses the PC Tech RZ1000 chip which resides on the baseboard's PCI bus; no PCI slot is consumed. IDE mode-3 operation is supported to maximize bandwidth between the RZ1000 and the drive, and the BIOS supports 32 bit programmed I/Os to maximize bandwidth between the processor and RZ1000. A secondary IDE interface is implemented on the ISA bus using the SMC 37C665. Type F DMA access to this device is supported by the system BIOS. The system BIOS supports Logical Block Addressing on both IDE interfaces.

82378IB-G System I/O (SIO.G)


82434NX PCI/Cache/Memory Controller (PCMC)

The 82434NX provides all control signals necessary to drive a second level cache and the DRAM array, including multiplexed address signals. It also controls system access to memory and generates snoop controls to maintain cache coherency.


82433NX Local Bus extension (LBX)

There are two 82433NX components which provide data bus buffering and dual port buffering to the memory array. Controlled by the 82434NX, the 82433NX devices add one load each to the PCI bus and perform all the necessary byte and word swapping required. Memory and I/O write buffers are included in these devices.


82378IB-G System I/O (SIO.G)

The 82378IB integrates seven 32-bit DMA channels, five 16-bit timer/counters, two eight-channel interrupt controllers, PCI-to-AT interrupt mapping circuitry, NMI logic, ISA refresh address generation, and PCI/ISA bus arbitration circuitry together onto the same device.

 Detailed information on the chip set is available in the Intel 82430 PCISet data sheet.


SMC 37C665 Super I/O Controller

Control for the integrated serial ports, parallel port, floppy drive and secondary IDE hard drive interface is incorporated into a single component, the SMC FDC37C665. This component provides:

•	Two NS16C552-compatible UARTs with send/receive 16 byte FIFO

•	Multi-mode bi-directional parallel port

- Standard mode; IBM and Centronics compatible

- Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) with BIOS/Driver support

- High Speed mode; Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP) compatible

•	Industry standard floppy controller with 16 byte data FIFO (2.88 MB floppy support)

•	Type-F DMA capable secondary IDE interface

Header pins located near the back of the board allow cabling to use these interfaces. The serial ports can be enabled as COM1, COM2, or disabled. The parallel port can be configured via Setup as normal, extended, or disabled.


Keyboard Interface

An Intel 8242 surface mount microcontroller contains the Phoenix Technologies PE keyboard/mouse controller code. Besides providing traditional keyboard and mouse control functions, this keyboard controller allows hot-key sequences to immediately power-down the system.

Both AT-style keyboard and PS/2 style keyboard/mouse connectors are supported by the printed circuit board. AT Keyboard or PS/2 keyboard/mouse connectors are located on the back panel side of the baseboard. The 5V lines to these connectors are protected with a PolySwitch* circuit which acts much like a self-healing fuse, re-establishing the connection after an over-current condition is removed. While this device eliminates the possibility of having to replace a fuse, care should be taken to turn off the system power before installing or removing a keyboard or mouse. On the PS/2 style systems the system BIOS can detect, and correct mis-plugged keyboards and mice.

The 8242 microcontroller code supports Power-On/Reset (POR) password protection. The POR password is set via the Setup program. The keyboard controller also provides for the following "hot key" sequences:

•	<CTRL><ALT><DEL>: System software reset. This sequence performs a software reset of the system by jumping to the beginning of the BIOS code and running the POST operation.

•	<CTRL><ALT><+> and <CTRL><ALT><->: Turbo mode selection. <CTRL><ALT><-> sets the system for de-turbo mode, emulating an 8 MHz AT, and <CTRL><ALT><+> sets the system for turbo mode. Changing the Turbo mode may be prohibited by an operating system, or when the CPU is in Protected mode or virtual x86 mode under DOS.

•	Power down and coffee-break sequences will be available when the Pentium processor fully supports the power down modes of SMM.


Dallas DS12887 Real Time Clock, CMOS RAM and Battery

The Real Time Clock, RTC, is implemented using a Dallas DS12887 device. The DS12887 is accurate to within 13 minutes/year and requires no external support, the battery and oscillator are integrated into the device. The component has an estimated lifetime of ten years.

The RTC can be set via the BIOS SETUP Program. CMOS memory supports the standard 128byte batterybacked RAM, fourteen bytes for clock and control registers, and 114 bytes of general purpose non-volatile CMOS RAM. All CMOS RAM is reserved for BIOS use. The CMOS RAM can be set to specific values or cleared to the system default values using the BIOS SETUP program. Also, the CMOS RAM values can be cleared to the system defaults by using a hardware jumper. Appendix B lists jumper configurations.


System BIOS

The Premiere/PCI ED baseboard uses an American Megatrends Incorporated (AMI) Pentium ROM BIOS, which is stored in Flash EEPROM and easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based program. BIOS upgrades will be downloadable from the Intel Applications Support electronic bulletin board service. In addition to the AMIBIOS, the Flash EEPROM also contains the Setup utility, Power-On Self Tests (POST), update recovery code, and the PCI auto-configuration utility. This baseboard supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to execute from 32-bit on-board write-protected DRAM.

The BIOS displays a sign-on message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a five-digit revision code. The initial production BIOS in the Premiere/PCI II will be identified as 1.00.01.AX1. As BIOS updates occur the revision number will increase to 1.00.02.AX1, and so on.

Information on BIOS functions can be found in the IBM PS/2 and Personal Computer BIOS Technical Reference published by IBM, and the ISA and EISA Hi-Flex AMIBIOS Technical Reference published by AMI. Both manuals are available at most technical bookstores.

FLASH Implementation

The Intel 28F001BXT 1 Mb FLASH component is organized as 128K x 8 (128 KB). The Flash device is divided into five areas, as described in Table 1.

System Address		FLASH Memory Area
F0000H	FFFFFH	64 KB Main BIOS
EE000H	EFFFFH	8 KB Boot Block (Not FLASH erasable)
ED000H	EDFFFH	4 KB OEM LOGO Area
E8000H	ECFFFH	20 KB System BIOS Reserved
E0000H	E7FFFH	32 KB Not Used
Table 1. Flash memory organization

The FLASH device resides in system memory in two 64 KB segments starting at E0000H, and can be mapped two different ways, depending on the mode of operation. In Normal Mode, address line A16 is inverted, setting the E000H and F000H segments so that the BIOS is organized as shown in the system address column above. Recovery mode removes the inversion on address line A16, swapping the E000H and F000H segments so that the 8 KB boot block resides at FE000H where the CPU expects the bootstrap loader to exist. This mode is only necessary in the unlikely event that a BIOS upgrade procedure is interrupted, causing the BIOS area to be left in an unusable state. For information on recovering in the event of a catastrophic failure, refer to Appendix I.


BIOS Upgrades

FLASH memory makes distributing BIOS upgrades easy. A new version of the BIOS can be installed from a diskette. BIOS upgrades will be available as downloadable files on the Intel bulletin board.

The disk-based Flash upgrade utility, FMUP.EXE, has three options for BIOS upgrades:

• 	The Flash BIOS can be updated from a file on a disk;

• 	The current BIOS code can be copied from the Flash EEPROM to a disk file as a backup in the event that an upgrade cannot be successfully completed; or

• 	The BIOS in the Flash device can be compared with a file to ensure the system has the correct version.

The upgrade utility ensures the upgrade BIOS extension matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing a BIOS for a different type of system. Security to prevent unauthorized changes to the BIOS is provided via a write-protect jumper on the baseboard. The default setting is to allow BIOS upgrades. A recovery jumper is provided to allow recovery in the unlikely event of an unsuccessful BIOS upgrade. The jumper forces the ROM decode to access a 32 KB block of write protected recovery code in the Flash device.


Setup Utility

The ROM-based Setup utility allows the configuration to be modified without opening the system for most basic changes. The Premiere/PCI II baseboard also incorporates many new capabilities into the Flash EEPROM, including:

•	Auto configuration of IDE hard disks (manual selection of the drive type is no longer required).

•	Support for two IDE disk interfaces (primary and secondary) providing access to 4 IDE devices (when a second IDE controller is added on the PCI or ISA bus).

•	An option allowing the user to assign a block of addresses below the 1 MB boundary as non-shadowed, non-cached. This area is primarily used for expansion card ROM which causes timing problems when shadowed and cached.

•	ISA interrupts IRQ9, IRQ10 and IRQ11 may be assigned to add-in card ISA adapters, thereby informing the PCI configuration utility which interrupts not to use.

The Setup utility is accessible only during the Power-On Self Test, POST, by pressing the <DEL> or <F1> key after the POST memory test has begun and before boot begins. A prompt may be enabled that informs users to press the <F1> key to access Setup. A baseboard jumper can be set to prevent user access to Setup for security purposes. Setup options are detailed in Appendix G.


PCI Auto-configuration Capability

The PCI auto-configuration utility operates in conjunction with the system Setup utility to allow the insertion and removal of PCI cards to the system without user intervention. When the system is turned on after adding a PCI add-in card, the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, DMA channels, I/O space, and other parameters. The user does not have to configure jumpers or worry about potential resource conflicts. Because PCI cards use the same interrupt resources as ISA cards, the user must specify the interrupts used by ISA add-in cards in the Setup utility. The PCI Auto-Configuration function complies with version 2.0G of the PCI BIOS specification.


ISA Plug & Play Capability

The BIOS will incorporate ISA Plug and Play capabilities as delivered by Intel Architectural Labs Plug and Play Release 1.1. This will allow auto-configuration of Plug and Play ISA cards, and resource management for legacy ISA cards, when used in conjunction with the ICU, ISA Configuration Utility. Copies of the IAL Plug and Play specification may be obtained via FaxBack (800) 628-2283, or via CompuServe by typing Go PlugPlay.


Power Management Capability

(Note: The feature will not be available at initial product release)

The Premiere/PCI II baseboard supports power management via System Management Mode, SMM, interrupts to the CPU and Advanced Power Management, APM, BIOS support. In general, power management capabilities will allow the system to be put into a power managed state by either an explicit hot-key combination being entered by the user, or by the expiration of a hardware timer which detects system inactivity for a user-configurable amount of time. When in power managed state the board will be capable of telling the disk drive and graphics controllers to enter a power managed state, and of reducing CPU power consumption. Power management capabilities are still being defined.


Flash LOGO Area

Premiere/PCI II supports a 4 KB programmable FLASH user area located at ED000-EDFFF. An OEM may use this area to display a custom logo. The Premiere/PCI II BIOS accesses the user area just after completing POST.


Security features

BIOS Password

A BIOS password feature provides security during the boot process. A password can be set using the Setup utility, and must be entered prior to peripheral boot or keyboard/mouse operation. The second option is conisdered "network password"; it allows the system to fully boot, but the keyboard is nonoperational until the password is typed. To enable, disable, or change the password, refer to the Setup program options in Appendix G.

If the password is forgotten, it can be cleared by turning off the system and setting the "password clear" jumper to the clear position.

Setup Enable Jumper

A baseboard jumper controls access to the BIOS Setup utility. By setting jumper to the disable position, he user is prevented from accessing the Setup utility during the Power-On Self Test or at any other time.

Chassis

The Premiere/PCI II Expandable Desktop easily provides the expandability required for most traditional PC applications − seven peripheral bays, seven expansion slots, an ample 200 watt power supply and an additional fan located at the front left side of the chassis to help keep the system cool. The user can access five of the peripheral bays from the front of the chassis. The Premiere/PCI II also meets stringent environmental requirements.


Peripheral Bays

Figure 5: Premiere/PCI II Expandable Desktop Front Panel

Seven expansion bays are available for peripherals and other add-in devices. These include three 5¼" half-height bays and two 3½" one-inch bays that are accessible from the front panel. Two internal 3½" peripheral bays are located above the power supply.


FAN

The Premiere/PCI II Expandable Desktop has two fans to keep the system cool. One fan within the power supply provides 28 cfm of air movement. The second fan, located behind the card guide, provides 26 cfm across the add-in cards and the CPU. The second fan receives 12 Vdc directly from the baseboard at stake pin location J1A1.


Expansion slots

The Premiere/PCI II Expandable Desktop has seven expansion card slots, as shown in Figure 6. Several of the slots are intended for use with less than full-length cards. One ISA slot is limited in length by the 3½" peripheral bay carrier, one ISA card slot is limited in length by the left-most SIMM socket, two ISA card slots are full length, two PCI slots are limited in length by the CPU heatsink, and one is a full length shared slot, accepting either an ISA or a PCI expansion card.


Front Panel

The Premiere/PCI II Expandable Desktop front panel consists of a power switch, a power-on LED and a hard disk access LED. Five peripheral bays also can be accessed from the front panel, as shown in Figure 5.


Back panel

The back panel consists of access panels for the expansion slots (one location is unused), two DB9 RS-232 serial ports, a bi-directional parallel port, an AT-style keyboard connector, a 115/230 voltage switch, a power supply input, an auxiliary power output and the power supply fan. Punch-out locations also are provided for adding a second parallel port and a SCSI-2 connector.

Technical Product Summary for the Prem/PCI II ED - Appendix G - AMIBIOS Setup - Advanced CMOS setup
Advanced CMOS setup

Typematic Rate Programming	Enabled or Disabled. Default is disabled. When enabled, the following two typematic options are valid.
Typematic Rate Delay (msec.)	250, 500, 750 or 1000 millisecond delay. Default is 500. Determines how long it takes for the auto-repeat function to start when a person is holding down a key on the keyboard.
Typematic Rate (Chars/sec)	6, 30, 24, 20, 15, 12, 10 or 8 characters/second. Default is 15. Determines the speed at which characters repeat when you hold down a key on the keyboard. The higher the number, the faster the repeat.
Hit <F1> Message Display	Enabled or Disabled. Default is disabled. If enabled, the message "Hit <F1> to Enter Setup" appears on the screen during the power up sequence.
System Boot Up Num Lock	On or Off. Default is on, reflecting the state of the "Num Lock" keyboard feature when the system boots.
System Boot Up Sequence	Drive A: before C:, Drive C: before A:, or Drive C: Only. Default is to check Drive A: before C: for an operating system, which allows the user to boot from a floppy if necessary.
System Boot Up CPU Speed	High or Low. Default is High. If high is selected, boot up will occur at full speed. If low is selected, the board is put into de-turbo mode, which results in slower operation.
Cache Memory	Enabled or Disabled. Default is enabled. Both the L1 and L2 cache are enabled or disabled by this selection.
Network Password Checking	Enabled or Disabled. Default is disabled. If enabled, the user is prompted for a password before keyboard operation can begin, but after any startup routines have completed. In the case of DOS, the config.sys, and autoexec.bat will be run, but no user input is accepted until a password is entered.
ISA Linear Frame Buffer	Disabled, 1 MB, 2 MB, or 4 MB. Default is disabled. The linear frame buffer is primarily for ISA video cards. If enabled, improvement may be noted in performance of ISA video cards using the linear frame buffer. It also provides a means to access memory located on the ISA bus immediately below 16MB.
Set Linear Frame Address to	When you enable the ISA linear frame buffer, this entry is displayed automatically. When you disable the linear frame buffer, this entry becomes N/A.
Disable Shadow Memory Size	Enabled or Disabled. Default is disabled. This selection is tied to the next selection "Disable Shadow Memory Base". If the shadow memory base is set to either C0000H or D0000H, then you can select a shadow memory size of either 16, 32, 48, or 64 Kbytes.
Disable Shadow Memory Base	This selection allows the user to alter where the non-shadowed memory is located. The choices are either in the C0000H or D0000H range. There are several options within each range. For example, within the C0000H range you can choose C0000H, C4000H, C8000H, or CC000H. This setting effects the previous menu selection. Once you have made your selection in this menu your choices in the previous menu "Disable Shadow Memory Size" may be altered. The maximum size of the shadow memory is 64KB. You can only achieve 64kB if you specify the Shadow Memory Base to be at C0000H or D0000H. As you select the other shadow memory base options, you will notice that the shadow memory size begins to get smaller.
Base Memory Size	640/512. Default is 640KB. Provides a means to disable on-bd DRAM to access memory locations from 80000-9FFFFH on the ISA bus.
IDE DMA Transfer Mode	Default is disabled. When enabled, the user can choose from 3 different types of IDE DMA transfers: Standard (compatible), Type B, or Type F. Type F is the fastest DMA transfer mode.
IDE Multiple Sector Mode	Default is disabled and this selection is tied to the previous selection (IDE DMA Transfer Mode). When enabled, choices are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 sectors per burst (S/B). This setting programs the IDE DMA cycles to transfer multiple sectors per burst. A setting of 64 S/B assures the maximum burst size supported by the drive that is installed in the system.
IDE Translation Mode	Default is standard Cylinder, Heads, Sectors. You may choose from; Std. CHS, Logical Block Addressing, Extended CHS, or Auto. Please refer to your drive manufacturer to see if your drive supports any advanced modes.
IDE Controller Predelay	Default is disabled. Options are 1,2,3,4,5,6, or 7 seconds. This specifies the delay until the first command is given to the drives.
Enhanced ISA Timing	Enabled or Disabled. Default is disabled. When enabled, the ISA bus will run at 10 MHz. This results in faster system performance if the ISA agents in the system can tolerate 10 MHz (instead of the standard 8 MHz).
ISA IRQ 9	Free or Used. If an ISA agent in the system uses this interrupt, it must be specified here as used. The PCI auto-configuration code checks this entry and may attempt to use the interrupt is it is free.
ISA IRQ 10	Free or Used. If an ISA agent in the system uses this interrupt, it must be specified here as used. The PCI auto-configuration code checks this entry and may attempt to use the interrupt is it is free.
ISA IRQ 11	Free or Used. If an ISA agent in the system uses this interrupt, it must be specified here as used. The PCI auto-configuration code checks this entry and may attempt to use the interrupt is it is free.
GAT Mode	Default is disabled. Options are enabled or disabled. GAT is guaranteed access timing.
Byte Merging	Default is disabled. Options are enabled or disabled.

Appendix I - BIOS Recovery
Appendix I − BIOS Recovery

The Premiere/PCI II incorporates the AMIBIOS in a Flash memory component. Flash BIOS allows easy upgrades without the need to replace an EPROM. The upgrade utility fits on a floppy diskette and provides the capability to save, verify, and update the system BIOS. The upgrade utility can be run from a hard drive or a network drive, but no memory managers can be installed during upgrades.

The latest upgrade utility and BIOS code are available in the BIOS section of the iPAN bulletin board.

Related Topics:

Using the upgrade utility

Recovery mode


Using the upgrade utility

If the utility is obtained from the bulletin board, UNZIP the archive and copy the files to a bootable MS-DOS 3.3, 4.01, 5.0, or 6.0 diskette. Reboot the system with the upgrade diskette in the bootable floppy drive and follow the directions in the easy to use menu-driven program.


Recovery mode

In the unlikely event that a FLASH upgrade is interrupted catastrophically, it is possible the BIOS may be left in an unusable state. Recovering from this condition requires the following steps (be sure a power supply and speaker have been attached to the board, and a floppy drive is connected as drive A:):

1.	Change Flash Recovery jumper (RCVR FLASH) to the recovery mode position.

2.	Install the bootable upgrade diskette into drive A:

3.	Reboot the system.

4.	Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, no video is available to direct the procedure. The procedure can be monitored by listening to the speaker and looking at the floppy drive LED. When the system beeps and the floppy drive LED is lit, the system is copying the recovery code into the FLASH device. As soon as the drive LED goes off, the recovery is complete.

5.	Turn the system off.

6.	Change the Flash Recovery jumper back to the default position.

7.	Leave the upgrade floppy in drive A: and turn the system on.

8.	Continue with the original upgrade.

INITIAL RELEASE

New CPU socket − Class III

Implemented 7/94

The 237-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) CPU socket was replaced with a modified version that has tabs located on two sides of the CPU socket.  The new socket will be the preferred part; the old socket remains an alternate. There was no need to revise the dash number of the board. This change is being made to support the future implementation of an improved CPU/heat sink retention clip solution.

Neptune Chipset changes for the Premiere PCI/II ED

·	Replacement of A0 stepping PCMC and LBXs with A1 steppings

·	Removal of passive and active components required to support A0 Neptune

·	Replacement of SMC665D with SMC665GT (Super I/O Chip)

·	Replacement of vendors for jumpers and auxiliary 3.3 volt connector

·	Removal of two bypass capacitors

PCMC & LBXs Change From A0 to A1 − Class II

Intel's PCD (PCI Component Division) has stepped the 82433NX Local Bus Extension (LBX) and the 82434NX PCI Cache/Memory Controller (PCMC) components used on Premiere/PCI II motherboards. These steppings fix -0 errata and eliminate the need for 117 signal  pull-down resistors by providing an internal isolated 3.3v Power Ring. Use of the A1 parts also require a change to the external PLL loop filter RC values.

The A0 Neptune chipset is a single voltage part (5 volt input only) which drives external signals at 3.3 volt levels. This is accomplished via an internal voltage regulator and external pull down resistors. The A1 Neptune stepping is a dual voltage part which allows 3.3 volt signals to be driven directly with 3.3 volt power, removing the need for signal pull down resistors.

The  Premiere/PCI II  motherboard was designed to operate with either the A0 or A1 chipset, so no motherboard fab change is required. The transition to the 3.3v Power Ring is accomplished through the deletion and addition of zero ohm resistors used for power steering. The use of separate 3.3v and 5v power allows us to drop external 5 volt voltage regulation circuitry which was dedicated to the Neptune chip set and was required to meet tight voltage margins on the A0 stepping.

The following section details the changes to the motherboard resulting from changing Neptune steppings:

Replacement of A0 PCMC with A1 PCMC

♦	Substitution of the A1 Neptune PCMC for the A0 Neptune PCMC, 202436-370 for 202436-360.

Removal of the zero ohm strapping resistors to 5V and replacement them with zero ohm resistors strapped to 3.3 volts.

♦	Deletion of resistor straps R1F8 and R1D4.

♦	Additon of zero ohm straps R2D1.

Replacement of  two LBX's (data latch/transceivers ).

♦	Substitution of the A1 Neptune LBXs for the A0 Neptune LBXs.

Changing of LBXs from 5 volt operation to dual voltage, 3.3 and 5 volt operation.

♦	Removal of the zero ohm resistor straps to 5 volts, R4D3, R6D2.

♦	Additon of R4D2, R6D1 zero ohm straps to 3.3 volts .

♦	Removal of voltage reference U3A1

♦	Removal of power down clamping diode CR4A1

♦	Addion of  zero ohm straps to 5 volts R1F7, R3E1, R3E2

Change to GT stepping of SMC 665 − Class II

The GT fixes a number of 665D errata. Most notable is a problem which can cause the system to hang if a serial port is switched from non-FIFO to FIFO mode without emptying the data buffer.

Component Commonality Changes − Class III

The vendors of the stake pins used for suitcase jumpers and the 3.3 volt auxiliary power connector used to allow an external 3.3 volt supply to be hooked up to the PCI bus are changing to allow greater commonality with parts being used on other products.

♦	Substitution of 6 pin power connector, Intel part # 455072-006 for Intel part # 108709-006.

♦	Substitute 2x3 header, Intel part # 102291-003 for Intel part # 518485-003.

Removal of Bypass Capacitors for Mechanical Clearance − Class II

Two Bypass Capacitors which interfere with the CPU hold down clamp are being removed.

♦	Remove C3C4 and C3C5

Identifying A-1 parts

The following diagram will aid in distinguishing A-1 Neptune parts.

Network Card errata


BIOS ALERT

Make sure you are using BIOS 1.00.08.AX1, or later. There were problems with earlier BIOSes, and how they programmed the chipset.


PCISCSINR

Problem:

System Does not recognize the SCSI BIOS or SCSI card is not seen at all.

Resolution:

PCISCSINR BIOS is not resident in BIOSes for the Premiere/PCI II ED prior to 1.00.06.AX1. You must use the PCISCSI or upgrade to the latest BIOS.

NOTE: It is highly reccomended that the user upgrade to the latest BIOS, or at least 1.00.08.AX1.


Cirrus 5434 Add in Card

Problem:

Video difficulties with the 5434 video solution, whether in booting or graphics.

Solution:

Use the latest BIOS, or at least 1.00.08.AX1. If this does not correct the problem be sure you are using the latest EMM386.EXE. If you are not sure use the version of EMM386.EXE that comes with DOS 6.22.


Failure to boot with SCSI

Problem:

System will not boot with SCSI.

Solution:

Be sure that you are using BIOS 1.00.08.AX1 or later. There are some difficulties with earlier BIOSes.

Also see common ISA add-in card configuration if the SCSI card is a ISA based card, or if there are any ISA cards in the system.


Common ISA add-in Card Configuration

Problem:

System will not boot, or locks up intermitantly.

Solution Part 1:

Check your IRQ settings for the ISA add-in card if the add-in card is using IRQ9, 10, or 11, If any of these interrupts are being used go into setup, after rebooting your system, and set them to USED in the advanced setup options.

By setting IRQs to used will tell the BIOS not to use the interrupt for any PCI add-in cards.

Solution Part 2:

Be sure the memory shadow is enabled according to the add-in card being installed. For example:

If the add-in card has 32K of memory, RAM or ROM located at D0000h, change the shadow option from disabled to 32K, with the base set to D0000h.


Sound Card errata

Sound cards often conflict with system IRQ9, 10, and 11. See Common ISA add-in Card questions.


Adaptec SCSI errata

These scsi cards come default conflicting with our system interrupts IRQ9, 10, or 11. See Common  ISA add-in card configurations.


Network Card errata

Network cards commonly need both memory map adjustments and IRQ resolutions set in the SETUP options.  See Common ISA add-in card configurations.
