Introducing the Mainboard

Thank you for choosing the L4S8A mainboard. The L4S8A mainboard is a

high–performance, enhanced function mainboard that supports Socket 478

Pentium 4 processors with system speeds up to 533MHz for high-end busi-

ness or personal desktop markets.

The mainboard incorporates the SiS648 Northbridge and SiS963 Southbridge

chipsets. The SiS648 Northbridge chipset provides an 8XAGP and 12-level

In-Order-Queue to support maximum outstanding transactions on host up to

12. The memory controller offers high-bandwidth up to 2.7GB/s under

DDR333 in order to sustain the bandwidth demand from the host processor,

as well as the multi I/O masters and AGP masters. While the SiS963

Southbridge integrates the Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Host Controllers, 1394a

and Audio Controller with AC 97 interface.

The L4S8A is designed to give customers an advanced, multimedia solution.

It provides advanced features such as 2 USB ports and an optional LAN con-

nector. There is also an EPP/ECP parallel port and a 16550 high-speedserial

I/O port. A range of audio ports is supplied, comprising line-in, line-out, micro-

phone-in, CD-in and game port. . One AGP slot, five PCI local bus slots and

one communication and networking riser (CNR) slot provide expandability for

add-on peripheral cards.

Compare the mainboard’s package contents with the following checklist:

Standard Items

•One mainboard

•One diskette drive ribbon cable

•One IDE drive ribbon cable

•One auto-install software support CD

•One I/O panel

•One cooling fan retention module

•This user’s manual

Processor The L4S8A mainboard uses a micro PGA 478-pin socket that

has the following features:

•Supports 400/533 MHz system bus

•Accommodates Pentium 4 processors at 1.5G/1.6G/1.7G…

2.5G and above

Chipset The SiS648 and SiS963 chipsets are based on an innovative

and scalable architecture with proven reliability and perform-

ance. A few of the chipset’s advanced features are:

•Supports Intel Pentium 4 series CPU with data transfer

rate up to 533MHz

•Support 12 outstanding transactions and out-of-order

completion

•Supports 64-bit high performance DDR333/DDR266

Memory Controller

•Universal AGP v3.0 compliant and supports AGP 8X/4X

Interface with Fast Write Transaction

•Distributed arbitration strategy with long contiguous data

streaming

•PCI 2.2 specification compliance

•Integrated multi-threaded I/O link mastering with read

pipelined streaming

•Supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133

Additional key features include support for six USB ports, Fast

Ethernet MAC controller, AC97 interface, IEEE 1394A host

controller, advanced power management, integrated DMA

controller and keyboard controller.

Memory •Supports DDR up to 200/266/333 MHz SDRAM memory

module

•Accommodates three unbuffered 2.5V 184-pin slots

•Each slot supports up to 1 GB with a total maximum

capacity of 3 GB

AGP The L4S8A includes an 8xAGP slot that provides eight times

the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. The AGP 3.0

(8xAGP) offers a significant increase in performance along

with feature enhancements to AGP2.0. This interface repre-

sents the natural evolution from the existing AGP to meet the

ever-increasing demands placed on the graphic interfaces

within the workstation and desktop environments.

Audio The AC’ 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC’ 97 2.2

specification, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Con-

verter) and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as well

as 18-bit stereo full-duplex codec with independent and vari-

able sampling rates. Further features include support for four

analog line-level stereo inputs.

Expansion

Options The mainboard comes with the following expansion options:

•Five 32-bit PCI slots (PCI 5 and onboard RAID share)

•One 8X/4X AGP slot

•A Communications Network Riser (CNR) slot (AC97 inter-

face only)

•Two IDE connectors which support four IDE channels and

a floppy disk drive interface

The L4S8A supports Ultra DMA bus mastering with transfer

rates of 33/66/100/133 MB/sec.

RTL8201BL is a Fast Ethernet Phyceiver with an MII (Media

Independent Interface)/SNI (Serial Network Interface). It can

be used as a Network Interface Adapter, MAU, CNR, ACR,

Ethernet Hub, Ethernet Switch.

Onboard LAN

RTL8100B (L) is a highly integrated, cost-effective single-chip

Fast Ethernet controller that provides 32-bit performance and

PCI bus master capability. It supports the Advanced Configu-

ration Power management Interface (ACPI), PCI power

management for modern operating systems that are capable

of Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM) to

achieve the most efficient power management possible.

•Single PLL architecture, 1 PLL for both ports

Integrated I/O The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and connectors:

•Two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard

•Two serial ports

•One parallel port

•One MIDI/game port

•Two USB ports

•One LAN port

•Audio jacks for microphone, line-in and line-out

BIOS

Firmware This mainboard uses Award BIOS that enables users to con-

figure many system features including the following:

•Power management

•Wake-up alarms

•CPU parameters

•CPU and memory timing

The firmware can also be used to set parameters for different

processor clock speeds.

There are many types ofcomputer cases on the market. The mainboard com-

plies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some features on the

mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indi-

cators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all

the features required. The mainboard can support one or two floppy diskette

drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient

power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that

the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge

of the mainboard.

This mainboard has an ATX form factor of 305 x 244 mm. Choose a case that

accommodates this form factor.
