KT133 System Board 1
Chapter 1 Introduction
1-1Main Board Overview
The KT133(VT8363) and VT82C686A (K7VAT+ with VT82C686B) chipset is a high
performance, cost-effective and energy efficient system controller for the implementation
of AGP / PCI / ISA desktop personal computer systems based on 64-bit Socket-A (AMD
K7) processors.
The VT8363 supports DRAMs up to 1.5 GB. The DRAM controller supports standard
Synchronous DRAM(SDRAM) and Virtual Channel SDRAM (VC SDRAM), in a flexible
mix/match manner. The Synchronous DRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting
between the DRAM and the data buffers at 66/100/133 MHz. The six banks of DRAM can
be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M/2M/4M/8M/16M/32MxN DRAMs.
The VT8363 system controller also supports full AGP v2.0 capability for maximum bus
utilization including 1x, 2x and 4x mode transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing),
Flush/Fence commands, and pipelined grants. Both Windows-95 VXD and
Windows-98/Windows 2000 miniport drivers are supported for interoperability with major
AGP-based 3D and DVD-capable multimedia accelerators. It also supports two 32-bit
3.3/5V system buses (one AGP and one PCI) that are synchronous/pseudo-synchronous to
the CPU bus.
The VT82C686A (K7VAT+ with VT82C686B) also includes an integrated keyboard
controller with PS2 mouse support, integrated DS12885 style real time clock with extended
256 byte CMOS RAM, integrated master mode enhanced IDE controller with full
scatter/gather capability and extension to UltraDMA-33/66/100 for 33/66/100 MB/sec
transfer rate, (K7VAT+ with VT82C686B can support Ultra DMA/100) integrated USB
interface with root hub and four function ports with built-in physical layer transceivers,
Distributed DMA support, and OnNow/ACPI compliant advanced configuration and power
management interface. It also includes an AC97/MC97 link for interface to external audio
and modem codecs, and all “Super-I/O” functions(serial ports, parallel port, and floppy
drive interface and game port).

KT133 System Board 2
The main board is also strengthened with Power Management Wake up Event
such as “WOL (Wake up on LAN),” “Modem ring on” which are the new
inventions to enable PCs to be turned on over the network. These are also key
benefits in PC operation, asset management, and new system setup and power
conservation.
In conclusion, the main board is a combination of the highest in performance,
flexibility, efficiency, and ease of use that meets a variety of price/performance
levels. The main board is an ideal platform for the increasing requirements of
today’s and future’s desktop application.

This main board has CPU auto-detection function, user is no need to set any
jumper setting when sets up system. Meanwhile, if user wants to overclock CPU
Ratio, please set JP3 as “on” and set Ratio by SW1, or user can set CPU clocks
from BIOS setting too.
2-2-1 JBAT1 : CMOS Status
JBAT1 is a 3-pin connector. Clear CMOS if system password is forgotten. Below
are details to show how to clear CMOS.
Procedure to clear CMOS:
Step 1: Shut down the system and disconnect the power supply from AC power.
Step 2: Pull out the ATX cable from ATX connector “ATX1”.
Step 3: Short the CMOS jumper by putting jumper cap on Pin 2-3 for a few seconds.
Step 4: Return to pin 1-2 for normal setup.
Step 5: Link ATX power cable to ATX connector & connect AC power to power supply.
Step 6: Turn on system power.
