Motherboard jumpers and loads of info
from-the-manual

New MessageMotherboard jumpers and loads of info (modified 0 times) movits
I'm reading through the motherboard manual and it's great reading. Truly interesting stuff.

Some comments:

It SPECIFICALLY has pins for powering a 2.5 inch drive. See CN26

What does SCART stand for? It has 22 pins for it.

It has TWO seperate interfaces for smart cards. one is for "VSC-330" and the other for "INMAX". Anyone know how that works?

It says that the network chip that is missing is an Intel 82558.

It says it supports linux

It has an LM75 temperature sensor. That's really standard. Good to know.

CN6 is in charge of deciding whether the IR keybaord or the PS/2 ports in back are to be used.

CN10 is a "CPLD Programming Header" Whazzat???

JP1 sets the DOC segment address. I'd been wondering about that.

JP3 sets the bus speed to either 30 or 33 mhz

JP[ABC]1 set the mult. factor for the CPU.

JP4 chooses between NTSC and PAL Television output.

JP5 shorts/empties the CMOS.

JP6 lets you finetune the CPU voltage. it goes in tenths of a volt from 2.0 to 3.5, so there are 15 setting in all.\

Comments?

Anyone figure out if there's a set of jumpers to hook up a reset button?

about the reset pin:

The manual calls Pin 17 of the front panel neadser connector (CN28) "FR_RSET-"

and Pin 13 "PWRBT-"

Does that help?

CPLD might enable BIOS flash?

Hmmm...I think SCART is a higher def or maybe I should say better quality TV out. I seem to remember this is/was an option on the playstation video out.

I will get a 82558 lan card soon to rob the parts. Why? For the hell of it and I would like a second lan interface for a Firewall/Router that I have setup on another system. www.freesco.com

>It has an LM75 temperature sensor. That's really standard. Good to know.

Any code for it?

>CN10 is a "CPLD Programming Header" Whazzat???

JTAG port for programming the CPLD (Complex Logic Device). Looks like its glue logic for the Audio CODEC.

greghol: you asked about the LM75.

All OSes support it. Linux has suport for it in the lm_sensros package, and there are LOADS of windows programs for viewing LM75 temps. All the typical stuff will work fine.
