The U601 mainboards are Micro-ATX Socket 370 CPU platforms. They are
based on the VIA Apollo PLE133T and are able to support three different FSB
Clock speeds: 66 MHz, 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It also supports up to 1GB of
SDR SDRAM. It has four USB ports, two PCI slots. The U601BL also comes
with Onboard LAN. Both the U601BL and U601BV come with a number of dif-
ferent connectors including Auxiliary-In, CD-In and WOL. The infrared (IR) and
Sony Phillips Digital Interface (S/PDIF) connectors are optional items (see ap-
pendix A for further details). They also have a single jumper (for clearing
CMOS) and this facilitates simplified assembly.

Chipset
The U601 mainboards are based on the VIA Apollo PLE133T:
Northbridge: VT8601T (VT8602)
Southbridge: VT82C686B
CPU Switching Voltage regulator
These mainboards are equipped with a switching voltage regulator that auto-
matically detects a DC power supply from +1.050V to +1.825V.
System Memory
The U601 mainboards have two 168-pin SDR SDRAM DIMM modules onboard.
These modules are able to support PC-133 and PC-100 SDRAM modules. A
maximum memory of 1GB is supported.
Expansion Slots
The U601 mainboard is equipped with two dedicated PCI slots
Onboard LAN Features (Only available on the U601BL)
Comes with Realtek RTL8100B. Supports 10/100Mb/s operation and sup-
ports wake on LAN (WOL) function and remote wake up.
Onboard Audio Features
Supports Microsoft DirectSound/ DirectSound 3D and AC97 Full Duplex.
Word Size
!Data Path: 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit
!Address Path: 32-bit
Front Side Bus Frequency (FSB)
FSB frequencies of 66MHz, 100MHz and 133MHz are supported.
BIOS
!Award BIOS, Windows 95/98 Plug and Play (PnP) compatible.
!Supports SCSI sequential boot-up.

BIOS will automatically record different information about your system con-
figuration and store this information in the DMI pool, which is a part of the
system board's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately net-
worked software, is designed for easy inventory, maintenance and the simpli-
fied troubleshooting of computer systems.

dard USB connector.
Introduction

The AZZA U601 Mainboard Series Page 9
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your
system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/2.5V/3.3V/5V/12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.
Note: Only use this utility in Windows ® 95 or Windows ® 98 operating systems.
1.4.1. Hardware Monitoring System Utility
The mainboard comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained
on the CD. It is capable of monitoring the system’s hardware conditions such
as the temperature of the processor, voltage, and the speed of both the CPU
and chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to the items being
monitored. If the values are over or under the set range a warning message
will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the Default Settings,
which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good working
condition.
1.4.2. Installation
To install this utility, please insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The auto run
screen (Driver Utility) will automatically appear. Click the Hardware Monitoring
button, choose the chipset, model number and the OS that is installed. Please
refer to the CD “Readme” file for further installation instructions.
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
!Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices.
!Both models support ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA/100 hard drives.
!PIO Mode 3 and Mode 4 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate up to
16.6MB/sec.).
!Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer.
!Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP.
IrDA Interface (Optional)
The mainboard is equipped with an IrDA connector for wireless connectivity
between your computer and peripheral devices. It supports peripheral devices
that meet the HPSIR or ASKIR standard.
