Chapter 1
Overview
The AP5TC is a high-performance Pentium
-based system board that utilizes
the PCI/ISA architecture and Baby AT form factor. It integrates the Intel
82430TX PCIset, a Super I/O controller, and a PCI mode 4 enhanced IDE
controller with bus master and Ultra DMA/33 to enhance system performance.
It has 512KB pipelined-burst second-level cache onboard and support four
single in-line memory module (SIMM) plus two Dual in-line memory module
(DIMM) that allow to mix EDO and SDRAM memory and expansion up to a
maximum of 256MB. For the memory and IDE performance, the Intel 430TX
chipset is currently the fastest Pentium chipset in the market.
In addition, AP5TC also implements many special features as following.
Switching Power Regulator Although Linear Regulator is good enough for
AMD K6, AP5TC uses switching requlator to reserve the upgrade capability for
new generation CPU.
Over-current Protection AP5TC implements CPU core voltage 15A over-
current protection to prevent any accident short circuit and prevent system
damage.
CPU Thermal Protection When CPU temperature is higher than a predefined
value, the CPU speed will automatically slow down and there will be warning
from BIOS and also ADM (AOpen Desktop Manager, similar as Intel LDCM), if
ADM is installed.
Full-range CPU core voltage This motherboard supports the CPU core
voltage from 1.3V to 3.5V, that can be applied to various CPU type in future.
Resetable Fuse AP5TC implements resetable fuses to prevent any accidental
short circuit caused by keyboard or USB devices hot plug.
PCI Sound Card connector The SB-LINK connector can be used to link
Creative-compatible PCI sound card. If you have a Creative PCI sound card
installed, it is necessary to link the card to this connector for compatibility issue
under DOS environment.
Overview
1-2
FCC DoC certificate The AP5TC has also passed FCC DoC test, this means
you can use any kind of housing with very low EMI radiation.
Powerful utility softwares supported AOpen Bonus Pack bundled CD
contains many useful utilities, such as ADM (Advanced Desktop Manager),
AOchip, Hardware Monitor utility, AcePhone, EasyAxess, Suspend to Hard
Drive utility, and BIOS flash utility.

1.2 Suspend to Hard Drive
Suspend to Hard Drive saves your current work (system status, memory and
screen image) into hard disk, and then the system can be totally power off.
Next time, when power is on, you can resume your original work directly from
hard disk within few second without go through the Win95 booting process and
run your application again. If your memory is 16MB, normally, you need to
reserve at least 16MB HDD space to save your memory image. Note that you
have to use VESA compatible PCI VGA (AOpen PV70/PT70), Sound Blaster
compatible sound card and sound driver that supports APM (AOpen AW35 or
MP56) for Suspend to Hard Drive to work properly. Of course, we recommend
to use AOpen products for best compatibility.
Although Suspend to Hard Drive is so powerful, it is actually a little complicated
to set up this function. To use Suspend to Hard Drive, please make sure you
have read the following in detail.
1. Go into BIOS setup, Power Management
à Suspend Mode Option, select
"Suspend to Disk".
2. Go into BIOS setup, PNP/PCI Configuration à PnP OS Installed, select
"No". This can give BIOS the capability to allocate system resources for
Suspend to Hard Drive.
3. Bootup your system into DOS command prompt. If you are Win'95 user,
Please restart your Windows 95 under "Command Prompt" by pressing "F8"
while system shows "Windows 95 Starting ...". Choose "Safe Mode
Command Prompt Only" from selection so that system will start in DOS
command prompt.
4. Copy AOZVHDD.EXE to the root directory of your C: drive.
5.
Option 1: Use /file switch (applied to FAT16 file system):
Please use following command to create a hidden file in the root directory of
your hard disk for Suspend to Hard Drive to save the system status and
memory image.
C:>AOZVHDD /c /file
Please make sure that you have enough continuous HDD space for
creating this hidden file. For example, if you have 32MB of system memory
and 4MB of VGA memory, you need at least 36MB (32MB + 4MB) of
continuous HDD space. If AOZVHDD failed to allocate the HDD space, you
may run "DEFRAG" Utility or "Disk Defragmenter" which come with MS-
DOS or Win'95 to free HDD space.
Overview
1-6
Option2: Use /partiton switch (applied to FAT16/FAT32 file system):
To create a separate partiton for Suspend to Hard Drive, please make sure
you have allocated a free partition. We suggest you reserve the free
partition which space is appropriate for your future memory expansion. For
example, if you have 32MB of system memory and 4MB of VGA memory
currently, but you plan to upgrade system memory to 64MB in the near
future, then you may reserve a 68MB (64MB+4MB) space by using a disk
utility (such as fdisk). Next, use following command to create a suspend
partition:
C:>AOZVHDD /c /partition
If there is no extra free partition and you don't want your data lost, please do
not use this partition method.
6. After creating above partition or hidden file, please reboot your system.
7. Push suspend switch (momentary mode) or use Win95 Suspend icon to
force system goes into Suspend to Hard Drive mode and then turn system
power off by power switch of your power supply.
8. Next time when you turn on your system, it will resume to your original work
automatically.
Warning: Note that Intel Bus Master and Ultra
DMA/33 IDE driver are not fully compatible with
Suspend to Hard Drive function, installing these
drivers may cause the system unstable. Under this
situation, please uninstall the drivers.
Warning: This function does not support SCSI hard
disks.

vendor see if there is driver to support APM, and
install it again.
Note: The USB function has not been tested for
Suspend to Hard Drive. If you find any unstable
problem, please go into BIOS, Integrated Peripherals
à USB Legacy Support. Disable the USB Legacy
function.

1.3 CPU Thermal Protection
This motherboard implements special thermal protection circuit below the CPU.
When temperature is higher than a predefined value, the CPU speed will
automatically slow down and there will be warning from BIOS and also ADM
(AOpen Desktop Manager, similar as Intel LDCM) or Hardware Monitor utility
software.
ADM is a very powerful network and hardware monitor software. If you do not
need network monitor function, you may also use Hardware Monitor utility,
which is a small utility for hardware monitoring. Both ADM and Hardware
Monitor utility are available on the bundled CD and our web site
(hhtp://www.aopen.com.tw).
CPU Thermal Protection is automatically implemented by BIOS and utility
software, no hardware installation is needed.
Overview
1-9
1.4 PCI Sound Card connector
AP5TC implements a SB-LINK connector to support Creative-compatible PCI
sound card. If you have a Creative-compatible PCI sound card installed, it is
necessary to link the card to SB-LINK connector for compatibility issue under
DOS environment.

Chapter 2
Hardware Installation
This chapter gives you a step-by-step procedure on how to install your system.
Follow each section accordingly.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can
damage your processor, disk drives, expansion
boards, and other components. Always
observe the following precautions before you
install a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its
protective packaging until you are ready
to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to
a metal part of the system unit before
handling a component. If a wrist strap is
not available, maintain contact with the
system unit throughout any procedure
requiring ESD protection.
