Caution
1. Be sure to add some Silicone Grease between the Socket A pro-
cessor and FAN to keep them fully contact, meanwhile to meet the
heat sink requirement.
2. Because the processor could overheat and damage both the proces-
sor and the motherboard, we recommend that you should have an AM
authorized fan to prevent overheating.
3. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly
attached.
This manual is suitable for mainboards of KinetiZ 7L series.
Each mainboard is carefully designed for the PC user who
wants different features.

Introduction
Overview
The KinetiZ 7L green mainboard utilizes the VIA Apollo KLE-133 chipset, Integrated 2D/3D
Graphics accelerator with support for the ocket A AMD® DuronTM/AthlonTM processors.
The VIA®
VT686B chipset integrates software configurable AC97 audio, MC97 modem and
supports Ultra ATA33/66/100 technology. The VIA® KLE-133 chipset provides some new
features such as Ultra-Fast 200MHz F B. Equipped with two memory module sockets,
1.0GB PC100/133MHz DRAM can be supported. It also provides advanced features such
as wake-up on LAN and wake-up on internal /external modem function.

Installation Instructions
This section covers External Connectors and Jumper ettings. Refer to the mainboard
layout chart for locations of all jumpers, external connectors, slots and I/O ports. Further-
more, this section lists all necessary connector pin assignments for your reference. The
particular state of the jumpers, connectors and ports are illustrated in the following figures.
Before setting the jumpers or inserting these connectors, please pay attention to the direc-
tions.
External Connectors
PS/2 Keyboard Connector, PS/2 Mouse Connector
P /2 keyboard connector is for the usage of P /2 keyboard. If using a standard AT size
keyboard, an adapter should be used to fit this connector. P /2 mouse connector is for the
usage of P /2 mouse.
USB1, USB2 and LAN Connector
Two U B ports are for connecting U B devices. The RJ-45 connector is for onboard LAN.
(LAN is optional)

Wake-Up On Internal Modem (WOM)
Through the Wake-Up On Internal Modem function, the system which is in the power-off
status can be powered on by a ring signal received from the internal modem. If this function
is to be used, be sure an internal modem card which supports the function is used. Then
connect this header to the relevant connector on the modem card, set Modem Ring Resume as
Enabled in the POWER MANAGEMENT ETUP section of the BIO . ave & exit, then boot
the operating system once to make sure this function takes effect.
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 5V B 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 Modem Ring Resume as Enabled in the POWER MANAGEMENT ETUP
section of the BIO .( On-board RTL8100 LAN need not use this header) ave & exit, then
