KT4 Ultra-SR and IEEE 1394

Hi,
I would like to add the IEE 1394 to my board (no PCI slot available) so my question is if I can solder the missing components and if somebody did this and where I can find some info as what the components are and where to solder.
Thanks,
Domi

i admire your determination, but believe me its going to be a lot easier (and cheaper) to just buy another board. its not as easy as "finding the correct controller chip" and getting the soldering iron out. i certainly don't think you can just "buy" a single IEEE1394 controller IC off the shelf anywhere, and there's some VERY precise soldering in place, possibly through several layers too.
as an alternative suggestion, you could always change your PCI network adapter to a USB type, then you could use a IEEE1394 PCI card

  • KT4 Ultra FISR and Volcano 9 Cool Mod

    I am building a system using the KT4 Ultra FISR and a 2800+.  I am also using the Thermaltake Volcano 9 Coolmod fan which has LEDs on the fan.  My question is this, the board has two sets of Power LED headers, a two pin and a three pin.  The Coolmod is supposed to plug in to the Power LED header.  Is it possible to use the three pin header for the fan and the two pin header for the case?  I don't want to lose the front LED.  I know Thermaltake says don't wire both front panel and Coolmod to the same header, but it doesn't say anything about two different headers.  If someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.  I hope I made myself clear.    Thanks in advance.

    Do you mean to use the two pin JFP1 Power LED for the case and the 3 pin JFP2 for the Volcano mod? I dont think it should be a problem, my LED's are mixed and matched between the two headers.  You could test it with a multimeter to see what the output of one header is while the other is connected to its LED.

  • W520 Replace DVD with another Hard Drive and IEEE 1394 spec for music recording

    To increase the performance, I am taking the 160 GB SSD instead of the mechanical drive. Obviouslt, I need more space than this. I don't care about the DVD rom. It can't play blu ray anyway. Is it possible to replace the dvd drive with a hard drive? Where can I get a replaceable drive for this? What do I do with the DVD? Can I sell it back?
    I need to do music recording with this. I was wondering about the IEEE 1394 spec; the latency etc. If I remember correctly the W510 IEEE1394 was very good, probably was manufactured by Texas Instruments. I could not find anything about it anywhere. Not even here: http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf
    Also, a bit worried about the sound card. How good is it? Did anyone use this laptop for music recording?

    hey udvranto,
    with regard to this, i would suggest contacting tech support via the number listed in the link below to check if it is possible to replace the dvd with your harddrive.
    http://www.lenovo.com/contact/us/en/
    on the part of the soundcard, I believe it is good for music recording. Though this really depends on the software that you're going to use to record.

  • IMAQ AND IEEE 1394 problem

    When I use IMAQ vi's to acquire and process an image from a 1409 board and a standard ntsc camera ,my IMAQ vi's for IMAQ Clamp Horizontal MAX and IMAQ Find Vertical Edge work fine and display the overlay information properly using IMAQ WindDraw. When i run the same application using the setup and acquire vi's for IEEE 1394 and a firewire camera , when i show overlay information from the Edge detection tools ,the overlays are never refreshed , meaning the IMAQ WindDraw output window Image contains every overlay , it never overwrites the others with the current overlay. The screen becomes filled with the overlay information and cannot be cleared out. Why is this ? How to work around this ? The show search line can also be turned on and shown in
    the window ,but when you turn them off ,they also stay onscreen. This behavior is not that way when I use the framegrabber/ analog camera configuration.

    It sounds like IMAQ for IEEE 1394 does not clear the overlay information when you reuse a buffer.
    The simplest solution would be to use IMAQ Clear Overlay immediately after the image acquisition. This will remove any existing overlays that were left over from the previous image.

  • Kt4 ultra bios and raid function

    i am using the kt4 ultra motherboard (bluetooth ready and SATA), when i go to the integrated peripherals, onboard pci controller i can only enable/disable the audio controller....
    where am i supposed to enable/disable the raid controller?? is there a jumper i am missing on the board?
    thanks in advance,
    brian

    Are you sure you have a KT4 ultra with the Serial ATA/RAID controller option? There are several versions of the motherboard, all doesn't include the PDC20376 SATA/RAID controller, please check if you can find the chip on your mobo. The controller is enabled/disabled under Integrated Peripherals->OnBoard PCI Controller
    ->Serial ATA controller.

  • KT4 Ultra FISR and Radeon 9700pro

    OK, I upgraded my MB from the k7t266pro to an Kt4 Ultra.  I also upgraded to an AMD xp 2500+ and new DDR 333 ram.  My video card is the ati 9700pro.  This card functioned just fine with my old board as I never crashed.
    Since I have upgraded I have not been able to play any 3d games!!  all the games start and are playable for 2-5 mins then it just completely freezes my system.  i cannot even do an end task and have to hit the reset button to restart the PC.
    I am running Winxp home edition and am fully patched.  I have also upgraded the bios and installed every new driver from the live update utility.  i have the latest drivers available from ATI as well.  
    what gives here?  I have searched Google and various other sites and i have run across many many threads with people having identical problems with this board and video card.  my thought is that it is not the video card, as it ran flawlessly on my old MSI board.  i do PC support and system admin for a living and 99% of the time I can resolve PC problems on my own, however, I am at a loss with this one.  I have been a loyal MSI customer as this is the 4th MB i have bought from you guys over the years, but i can't help feeling disappointed right now.  any ideas?  This stinks as I was so looking forward to the upgrade in performance and now i got jack.

    300w PS (AMD approved)
    Maxtor 30bg ata 133

    I took the advice of some of you and got a Antec 430w TruePower PS to replace my old one.  Still no good.  I was a little skeptical about the new PS thing since I run a pretty minimal configuration.

    1 Generic Floppy
    As you can see, pretty sparse.  I soley use this box as a gaming type PC, so I try and keep the load light.  At this point I think I would like the board replaced.  Like I said, the 9700pro worked like a champ on my k7t266 pro, I doubt it is the new AMD CPU... so that leaves just the memory or the board at this point.  I mean, driver wise I am using the same drivers as those that do not have problems.  I am going to buy some high-end memory to eliminate that issue, but I highly doubt that will make the difference.  I hope I'm wrong though.
    Oh, BTW the option to change the AGP slot back to 4x is locked out for some reason.  That kinda pisses me off too.  I mean, at least give me the option to bring it back down to 4x.

  • Suddenly drop in communicationrate from both USB ports and IEEE 1394 port

    Hi
    Lately my HPE-432sc Pavilion computer (Win 7, 64 bit) behaves strange when I try to communicate (i.e. copy) huge files via (all) USB-ports or the IEEE 1394-port to external units (USB-keys or External harddisc).
    The copy process start with normal speed but then after 20-30 seconds the speed drops with a factor of at least 10....(and the copy-process terminate correct eventually!)
    All drivers are up-to-date and the units performs correctly according to the device manager.
    Any suggestions?

  • KT4 Ultra board and AMD XP2800+

    I just installed a XP2800+ chip into this motherboard and since the FSB one the 2800 CPU is 333 what do I set the CPU FSB clock to to get the 333 I need? According to the test chart the KT4 Ultra will support this chip and I did install the newest BIOS.
    Any ideas appreciated.

  • KT4 Ultra-sr and AGP 8X

    Here's the issue:

    My systems runs great but when i play games sometimes my system crash and (very curios) before about 3-5 min of game play i see small interferences like small  white orizzontal  jolt similar the interference when a cellular phone ring near the monitor. the problem it persists with any resolution and any monitor refresh rate !!!!!  
    What i've tested:
    I have the lasted KT4 ultra bios, test any Randeon Drivers (include the lasted 779 beta drivers) and lasted via's drivers
    Near my monitor there isn't any interference source !!
    Monitor is perfect (tested in other system )
    it's not Radeon8500 problem because i play games perfectly in other system (a7v266 and same hardware)
    KT4 are not damaged because i play game perfectly with another video card (geforce2 Mx400)
    It's not a PSU problem because i replaced AMD athlon 2000 + with AMD Athlon 900 (the rest hardware is the same) and the problem it persists.
    although i have 5 years experience under PC assemblage  ,   I do not know that what to make!!!
    is There an incompatibility with Radeon8500 and KT4 Ultra  ??
    Please someone can help me ???  ;(   ;(

    It might be the AGP driving value problem. Set it to EA in BIOS. It works for most people with components like yours.  If that does not help, switch to AGP 2x and see if the problem went away. If it did, look for other DGP Driving values and turn off some AGP related features (sideband, fastwrite etc)
    If that did not help,
    See this post and try to draw come conclusions. Sometimes the Power Supply is at fault not because of being underpowered (which you checked with Athlon 900) but because of the incorrectunstable voltages and other similar crap. With 266Mhz fsb and 333Mhz memory interface the boards now are too sensitive to cheep power supplies.

  • KT4 Ultra Raid and W2K3 Server

    Hi, I am planning to install Windows 2003 Server on my machine. But before I go ahead and wipe everything from the hard drive I need to be sure there are proper drivers for my RAID controller in W2K3 Server. I doubt I can use the XP drivers? Currently I am running WinXP with the TX4000 drivers by Promise and that works fine! Anyone any experience with this mobo, raid and win2k3 server?

    yea well of course I can recert to XP and do have a GHOST image :D. OK just dl-led and burnt the evaluation version from MS, will let u know if it installed correctly (either Promise's driver disk or MSI for XP).

  • Kt4 ultra fisr and vcore

    Hi, I am using a 1800+ JIHUB DLT3C with this board. The strange thing is that the bios seems to only allow a maximum vcore setting of 1.6v with the DLT3C cpus. Was wondering if anyone else has encountered this, and if its possible to somehow increase the vcore. Thanks.

    That is true. Your vcore range is 1.45-1.6 volts(as was mine originally). To go to a higher range, you will have to close some L11 bridges on your chip. I closed all but the middle one, making my default voltage 1.75 and my range now is 1.7-1.85 volts.

  • KT4 Ultra board and AMD XP2800+ boot issues

    This is a repost sorry
    I cannot seem to get the computer to run when I set FSB to anything over 163.
    It should be set at 166.  I updated the BIOS to the newest one available.
    At 164 the system simply reboots itself.
    165 or 166 the system boots then freezes.
    Here are the specs on my Power supply:
    400 watt power supply
    +5 38A max 1.5 Min
    +12 18A max .8 Min
    +3.3 28A .5 Min
    Running 768MB of PC2100, Chaintech Nvidia FX5600 256 MB, 2 60GB drives, 1 CD-rw and 1 CD.  
    Do I need to tweak any voltages?
    Hope this helps
    Thanks again
    Gary

    PC2100 memory does not help..., should be at least 2700 (333mhz)
    you are overclocking your memory and that is most probably why you can't get 166 on  your fsb
