ASUS NRL-LS533 motherboard user guide 2-9 2.5 System memory 2.5.1 Overview The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 4GB system memory using 184-pin registered PC2100/1600 DIMMs with Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC). A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM. The DDR SDRAM technology evolved from the mainstream PC66, PC100, PC133 memory known as Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM. DDR memory however , has the ability to perform two data operations in one clock cycle, thus providing twice the throughput of SDR memory . For example, a 200MHz DDR DIMM will support a 100MHz memory bus, and a 266MHz DDR DIMM will support a 133MHz memory bus. A DDR DIMM has the same physical dimensions as an SDR DIMM, but it has a 184-pin footprint compared to the 168-pin of the SDR DIMM. Also, a DDR DIMM is single notched while an SDR DIMM is double notched. Therefore, a DDR DIMM is not backward compatible with SDR, and should be installed only in a socket specially designed for DDR DIMMs. DDR Data T ransfer Rate DDR Base Frequency 266MHz 133MHz 200MHz 100MHz NRL-LS/533 Â® NRL-LS/533 184-Pin DDR DIMM Sockets 80 Pins 104 Pins

ASUS NRL-LS533 motherboard user guide 4-1 4.1.1 Creating a bootable disk AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode. T o determine the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS file. 1. T ype FORMA T A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk. DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BA T and CONFIG.SYS to the disk. 2. T ype COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CD-ROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created. BIOS setup must specify âFloppyâ as the first item in the boot sequence. 4. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH. If the word âunknownâ appears after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility . AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS prompt within Windows, and does not work with certain memory drivers that may be loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot using a floppy disk. 3. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk. 4. 1 Managing and updating your BIOS

5-18 Chapter 5: Driver Installation NOTE - If you are performing an initial installation of NetW are 5.x/ 6.0 and have more than two adapters installed, the install program will allow you to allocate the actual number of packet receive buffers needed by the adapter . During installation, the RxBuffers value should be set to 32, the minimum number of buffers the driver requires for each adapter . While this setting affects adapter performance, it allows installation of the operating system and up to eight adapters during initial install. Once installation is complete, you need to increase the number of buffers allocated to the driver , as described in V erifying or Modifying Adapter Parameters. 15. After NetW are 5.x/6.0 has been successfully installed, set the minimum packet receive buffers parameter in the startup.ncf file to 1500 for each adapter in the system. Set the maximum packet receive buf fers to three times the minimum packet receive buf fers. T ypically 4 MB of RAM is required per 1000 receive buf fers. For more information, see V erifying or Modifying Adapter Parameters. 1 6 . In the autoexec.ncf file, delete the packet receive buffers parameter (RxBuffers=32) in the load statement for this adapter . Deleting the receive buffers phrase from the load statement resets the receive buf fers parameter to the default value of 200 for this adapter . NOTE - The server needs to be restarted for the new configuration. Example: The default maximum number of receive buf fers for the system is 500; the default minimum is 128. Edit the startup.ncf file to have the following entries. The actual numbers will be a function of the number of adapters in the system. The following is an example for a system with 8 adapters installed: set maximum packet receive buf fers = 36000 set minimum packet receive buf fers = 12000 III.

For copper , twisted-pair connections, 1 Gbps can only be set through autonegotiation with a 1 Gbps partner .
5-22 Chapter 5: Driver Installation Flow Control â¢ Off (default) â¢ AutoNegotiate (Symmetric Pause advertised) (Note 2) â¢ RxPause â¢ TxPause â¢ RxPause/TxPause NOTE: Autonegotiation of Flow Control is only valid when the Line Speed is set to AutoNegotiate (all speeds advertised or single speed advertised). NOTE: A kernel relink and reboot is required before the new configuration will take effect. Jumbo Frames and Other Advanced Parameters Jumbo MTU sizes and other advanced, tunable parameters for the BCM5700 controller are located in the file space.c in the directory /etc/conf/pack.d/bcme. A description for each parameter is contained in space.c. Modify the desired parameter in space.c, rebuild the kernel by doing /etc/conf/bin/idbuild and rebooting the system. Note that the MTU sizes can be individually set for each adapter in the system, whereas all other parameters apply globally to all adapters. NOTE: 5705 does not support jumbo frames. It can transmit jumbo packets by TCP segmentation, but the ethernet frame size is still limited to 1514 bytes. Receive frame size is also limited to 1514 bytes. III. A TI Rage XL Display Driver Installation SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 system can correctly recognize A TI Rage XL graphic controller (A TI RAGE PRO/L T -PRO/XL/Mobility (P/M/M1)) during installation. User doesn't need to load or modify the video driver for the onboard VGA device.

Broadcom Gigabit LAN Driver Installation Packaging The Linux driver is released in two packaging formats: source RPM and compressed tar formats. The file names for the two packages are bcm5700- <version>.src.rpm and bcm5700-<version>.tar .gz, respectively . Identical source files to build the driver are included in both packages. The tar file contains additional utilities such as patches and driver diskette images for network installation. The files are located in â\drivers\lan\broadcom\linux\driverâ of the ASUS Support CD. Installing Source RPM Package 1. Install the source RPM package: rpm -ivh bcm5700-<version>.src.rpm NOTE: If installing the driver on SuSE 7.x distributions, refer to the Notes section below before continuing. 2. Change the directory to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel: cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..} rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec Note that the RPM path is different for dif ferent Linux distributions. 3. Install the newly built package (driver and man page): rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/bcm5700-<version>.i386.rpm Note that the --force option is needed if installing on Red Hat 7.1, 7.2, and others that already contain an older version of the driver .
5-24 Chapter 5: Driver Installation The driver will be installed in the following paths: 2.2.x kernels: /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/net/bcm5700.o 2.4.x kernels: /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/bcm5700.o 2.4.x kernels with bcm5700 driver patched in (e.g. Red Hat 7.1, 7.2): /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/bcm/bcm5700.o or /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/addon/bcm5700/bcm5700.o 4. Load the driver: insmod bcm5700 5. T o configure the network protocol and address, refer to Linux-specific documentation. Building Driver From T AR File 1. Create a directory and extract the T AR files: tar xvzf bcm5700-<version>.tar .gz NOTE: If installing the driver on SuSE 7.x distributions, refer to the Notes section below before continuing. 2. Build the driver bcm5700.o as a loadable module for the running kernel: cd src make 3. T est the driver by loading it: insmod bcm5700.o 4. Install the driver and man page: make install NOTE: See the RPM instructions above for the location of the installed driver .
ASUS NRL-LS533 motherboard user guide 5-25 5 . T o configure network protocol and address, refer to Linux-specific documentations. NOTE: If compiling the driver under SuSE's 7.x kernel and errors are reported, follow the general guidelines below to rebuild the kernel source tree. Kernal Source T ree Guidelines cd /usr/src/linux-<kernel_version>.SuSE cp /boot/vmlinuz.config .config cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h include/linux/version.h cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h include/linux/autoconf.h make oldconfig make dep where <kernel_version> is the actual kernel version used in the SuSE distribution.
