Introduction
This mainboard uses the SiS530 chipset to leverage extra
performance from the Socket-7 architecture. The mainboard
supports all Socket-7 processors including newer designs which
feature a 100 MHz system bus. The mainboard firmware supports
CPU Plug an Play so that the system will automatically adopt
the correct configuration for the Socket-7 processor that you
install.
The mainboard is highly integrated and includes a built-in PCI 3D
Soun System and a built-in 3D AGP graphics a apter. The
sound system supports 24-bit igital au io and a 4-way speaker
system. The graphics system supports extended VGA resolutions
with an 8MB frame buffer.
Communications and networking are supported with a V.90
Fax/Mo em DAA mo ule and a 10BaseT/100BaseTX network
a apter. The mainboard supports both AT/ATX power supply. If
you use an ATX supply, it supports all of the ATX power
management features including ACPI (Advanced Configuration
and ower management Interface), power saving mo es and
keyboar power on hot keys.
The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and three expansion
slots. It supports hardware monitoring and ships with trend’s
ChipAway Virus virus protection system. The board adheres to
the baby-AT form factor which permits an inexpensive system
case and reduced power supply unit.

Static Electricity Precautions
1. Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.
2. Keep the mainboard, and other components, in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
3. During an installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible.
If you don’t have a wrist strap, frequently discharge any static
electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
4. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During the
installation lay the mainboard on top of the static-proof
packaging with the component side facing upwards.
5. Inspect the mainboard for any damage caused during transit.
Ensure that all the components that are plugged into sockets
are correctly seated.
6. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not
apply power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.

Chapter 2
Mainboard Installation
To install this mainboard into your system, follow the procedures
in this chapter:
Identify the mainboard components
Install the correct processor
Install one or more memory modules
Verify that any jumpers or switches are at the correct setting
Install the mainboard in the system chassis
Install extension brackets/options
Install any other devices and make the appropriate connections
to the mainboard headers.
Note: Before installing the mainboard, you must ensure that
jumper JP3 is set to the Normal setting. See this chapter for
information on locating JP3 and changing the jumper setting.
Note: Please do not use the AC po er cord to connect the system
case to a po er outlet until you have completely installed the
mainboard and components. In some circumstances, the po er
management of the system might damage components and create
unsafe conditions by allo ing po er to flo before the installation
is complete,
Note: The PCI2 slot can only be used if you disable the onboard
LAN net ork using jumper JP6.

Mainboard Components
Use the diagram below to identify the major components on your
mainboard.
Note: Any jumpers on your mainboard that do not appear in
this illustration are for testing only.

Install the Processor
This mainboard is installed with a socket-7, and so it may be
installed with any of the socket-7 processors including the Intel
55C (MMX) series, the Cyrix/IBM 6x86L/6x86MX/M-II series,
the AMD K6/K6-2/K6-III series, and the IDT C6/Winchip 2/2A
series. The mainboard supports system bus speeds of 60, 66, 75,
83, 95, 100 MHz.
The board supports C U plug and play, so it can automatically run
the installed processor with the correct clock speed and the correct
system bus frequency. To automatically configure the processor,
use the BIOS setup program to select the C U speed and system
bus frequency. See chapter three for more information.
To ensure reliability, make sure that your socket-7 processor is
fitte with a heatsink/cooling fan assembly.
The socket-7 processor installs into the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force)
socket-7 on the mainboard.
1. Locate the socket-7 and FAN1. ull the locking lever out from
the socket and swing it to the upright position.
2. On the socket-7 processor, identify the pin-1 corner by noting
that it has a slight bevel.
Pin-1 Corner
FAN1
Socket-7

3. On the socket-7, identify the pin-1 corner. The pin-1 corner is
on the same side as the locking lever, closest to the top of the
lever when it is in the locked position.
4. Match the pin-1 corners and insert the socket-7 processor into
the socket. No force is required and the processor should drop
into place freely.
5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the catch on
the side of the socket. This locks the socket-7 processor in the
socket.
6. If the socket-7 processor is installed with a cooling fan
assembly, connect the cable from the fan to the C U fan power
connector FAN1.
Install Memory
The mainboard has three DIMM slots that can be installed with
memory modules. You must install at least one memory module in
order to use the mainboard. You must install the first memory
module into DIMM1 so that the system can share some of the
memory with the built-in graphics system. A second module can be
installed in either DIMM2 or DIMM3.
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V memory modules
installed with SDRAM memory chips. For best performance, we
recommend that you use C-100 memory modules which operate
over a 100 MHz memory bus.

You can install any size of memory module from 16 MB up to 256
MB, so the maximum memory size is 3 x 256 MB = 768 MB.
The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs, which
coincide with struts in the DIMM slots, so the memory modules
can only be installed in the correct way.
On the DIMM slot, pull the locking latches at either end of the
slots outwards. osition the memory module correctly and insert it
into the DIMM slot. ress the module down into the slot so that the
locking latches lever inwards and lock the module in place.
Set the Jumpers
Jumpers are sets of pins which can be connected together with
jumper caps. The jumper caps change the way the mainboard
operates by changing the electronic circuits on the mainboard. If a
jumper cap connects two pins, we say the pins are SHORT. If a
jumper cap is removed from two pins, the pins are O EN.
Jumper JP3: Clear CMOS Memory
Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the setup
utility are incorrect and prevent your mainboard from operating.
To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from
the mainboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR
setting for a few seconds.

If you are using an ATX power supply unit, you can use hot keys
on your keyboard as a power on/off switch for the system. Use this
jumper to turn this feature on or off.
Note: Make sure that the system can provide 1A on +5VSB (+5V
Standby) signal before using the Keyboard Po er On function.

Disable Fax/Modem Short Pins 1-2
Note: If you have disabled the onboard audio system ith
jumper JP8, the Fax/Modem ill not function even if it is
enabled.
Install the Mainboard
Install the mainboard into the system chassis. This mainboard uses
the baby-AT format. In addition the mainboard can operate using
an AT power supply unit or an ATX power supply unit. This
means that you have a wide choice of cases that can be used by this
mainboard.
Install the mainboard into the unit case. Follow the instructions
provided by the case manufacturer using the screws and mounting
points provided in the chassis.
Connect the power cable from the power supply unit to the power
connector on the mainboard. If you are using an AT power unit,
