AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables users to easily upgrade their computer systems by automatically detecting processor insertion and generating necessary configuration signals, ensuring successful boot-up and optimal performance without the risk of jumper-related errors.

Problems solved by technology

The operation parameters include, for instance, the operation frequency of the processor (CPU), the multiple ratio between the host bus clock and the internal clock, etc.. When the jumpers are not adequately set, either the computer system can not boot up or, in a worse situation, some hardware components may be damaged.
The second category of jumpers are those, when incorrectly set up, which diminish the performance of the computer system.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the invention includes a processor socket 11, an insert / remove detect circuit 13, an I / O port 15 and a processor (CPU) signal generation circuit 17.

[0022] I / O port 15 controls other three blocks and accomplish the system's configuration under the control of the ROM BIOS which is connected to the ISA bus (not shown). Since some configurations need the reset signal to effect, a reset circuit is required to generate the reset signal to the processor within the CPU socket 11 under the control of the BIOS. In general, a reset circuit within the system chipset (not shown) on the mother board issues this reset signal. The insert / remove detect circuit 13 has three ways, as described below, to detect whether a processor is inserted in the socket 11 or a processor has been removed from the socket 11. The processor (CPU) signal generation circuit 17 inputs the I2CCLK, I2CDATA and, as the reset signal is activated, the processor (CPU) signal generation circuit 17 prov...

Abstract

An insert signal generation circuit connected to a socket for generating an insert signal as a processor is inserted into a processor socket. The circuit includes an insert detection circuit connected to the socket for generating a detection signal as the processor is inserted in the processor socket. A Smith trigger is provided in the circuit to, responsive to the detection signal, generate a pulse signal. A flip-flop is provided in the circuit to, responsive to the pulse signal, to generate the insert signal.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a jumperless computer system.BACKGROUND OF ARTS[0002] As people use more office-automation equipment than ever, the majority of users of a highly sophisticated computer system nowadays are layman. Therefore, the trend of the computer system being a user-friendly home appliance, which is observed from current industrial standard such as PC 97, ACPI, is obvious and irreversible.[0003] With respect to a computer system, more and more users wish to configure the computer system within a very short of time. When upgrading the computer system, the user also wishes a simple upgrade procedure.[0004] Most current mother boards of the computer system include a plurality of jumpers which function to adjust the parameters in association with the operation of the computer system. The operation parameters include, for instance, the operation frequency of the processor (CPU), the multiple ratio between the host bus clock and the internal clock, etc.. When the jumper...
