Caution
1. Be sure to add some Silicone Grease between the CPU and the
heatsink of FAN to keep them fully contact , meanwhile to meet the
heat sink requirement.
2. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly
attached.

Introduction
Overview
The Advance 10T is a high performance, cost-effective and energy efficient mainboard
for the implementation of desktop personal computer system from 66MHz, 100MHz to
133MHz based on Socket 370 processors. The green mainboard utilizes VIA Apollo Pro
133T chipset consisting of VT82C694T and VT82C686B. It supports the ATA33/66/100
standard, AGP 4X, PC100/PC133 SDRAM and VCM SDRAM. In addition, advanced
features are supported such as wake-up on LAN, wake-up on internal/external modem
and system monitoring.Suspend to RAM, the optimal implementation of the Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification, makes the PCs power con-
sumption drop to the lowest possible level and enable quick wakeup. ManageEasy, our
system management application is also supplied to enable remote monitoring and con-
figuration of the system.BootEasy, lets the PC boot freely and rapidly.

Wake-Up On LAN ( WOL )
Through the Wake-Up On LAN function, a wake event occurring from the network can
wake up the system. If this function is to be used, please be sure an ATX 2.01 power supply
of which 5VSB line is capable of delivering 720mA, and a LAN adapter which supports this
function are used. Then connect this header to the relevant connector on the LAN adapter,
set Wake up on LAN/Ring as Enabled in the POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP section of the
BIOS. Save & exit, then boot the operating system once to make sure this function takes
effect.
Wake-Up On Internal Modem ( WOM )
Through the Wake-Up On Internal Modem function, the system which is in the suspend or
soft-off status can be powered on by a ring signal received from internal modem. If this
function is to be used, be sure an internal modem card which supports this function is used.
Then connect this header to the relevant connector on the modem card, set Wake up on
LAN/Ring  as Enabled in the POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP section of the BIOS. Save &
exit, then boot the operating system once to make sure this function takes effect.

Internal Audio Connectors ( CD_IN, MODEM,AUXIN)
(available on Advance 10T-A)
CD_IN is a Sony standard CD audio connector, it can be connected to a CD-ROM drive
through a CD audio cable. The MODEM connector allows the onboard audio to interface
with a voice modem card with a similar connector. It allows connecting the mono_in (such
as a phone) or mono_out (such as a speaker) between the onboard audio and the voice
modem card. AUXIN allows you to receive audio input from sound sources such as a CD-
ROM,TV tuner,or MPEG card.
an Connectors (BAK AN,CPU AN, CHS AN)
The fan speeds of CPU AN and CHS AN can be detected and viewed in PC Health section
of the BIOS. They will be automatically turned off after the system enters suspend mode.

This connector supports Infrared transmitting and receiving. If using this function, set
UART2 Mode to HPSIR or ASKIR and configure the settings in the INTEGRATED PERIPH-
ERALS section of the BIOS.
Audio/Modem Riser Slot (AMR) & AMR Sound Option(JSD)
(Jumper JSD is available on Advance 10T-A)
The AMR Interface Connector is the interface between the mainboard and the Audio/
Modem Riser card. The connector provides all necessary signals which supports several
different configurations of audio and modem in the system, such as audio and modem on
the riser, audio on the mainboard and modem on the riser, or no audio with modem on the
riser. Either AMR (Audio/Modem Riser) card or MR (Modem Riser) card can be used on this
system. To avoid conflict, the onboard audio can be disabled in BIOS when using AMR
Audio Riser card.

is available, the RearAudio and the ActiveAudio( in-case speakers ) will be cut off. When
the RearAudio is available, the ActiveAudio will be cut off. An onboard amplifier is pro-
vided for the case of earphone plugged into. When the rontAudio is absent, Pin11 and

Jumper Settings
Jumpers are located on the mainboard, they represent, clear CMOS jumper JCC, enable
BIOS Protection function jumper JAV etc. Pin 1 for all jumpers are located on the side with a
thick white line ( Pin1→ ), refer to the mainboards silkscreen. Jumpers with three
pins will be shown as to represent pin1 & pin2 (1-2)connected and
to represent pin2 & pin3 (2-3)connected.
Overclocking Jumper Setting (JCLK1, JCLK2)
The jumpers JCLK1 and JCLK2 provide users with CPU overclocking feature. If they are set
as Auto, the system will detect the CPU SB (front side bus) automatically.
or more SB frequency selection, you can check it in SpeedEasy CPU Setupsection of
BIOS and set the proper CPU SB speed that you need. You can also adjust the CPU
frequency by running StepEasy(optional).
Whether or not your system can be overclocked depends on your processors capability. We
do not guarantee the overclocking system to be stable.
Warning: Be sure your selection is right. CPU over speed will be dangerous! We
will not be responsible for any damages caused.
