system to them to have it quickly serviced instead of attempting to solve the
problem by yourself. Besides these, RIOWORKS also providessome helpful
resources to help you.
1. Select RIOWORKS TM '’s website at www.rioworks.com and navigate to
this product page which contain links to product updates such as
Jumper settings or BIOS updates.
2. FAQ sections on RIOWORKS Website are often helpful since other
user’s questions are often your own.
3. Email us at: [e-mail] and we will try to answer your questions
within 24 hours. Before you email your symptom to [e-mail],
please fill in the symptom report form (page A-5) in order to let our

Note
Should you want to clear the RTC data:
(1) Soft off your computer
(2) Short pin2and pin3with jumper for few seconds
(3) Connect pin1and pin2with jumper again.
(4) Turn on your computer by pressing the power-on button from front-panel.
(5) Hold down <Delete> during bootup and select <Load Optimal Defaults>
or <Load Failsafe Defaults> option in the selection<Exit>. Then re-enter
BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
2. Force FSB 133 MHz (3-pin jumper)
This jumper allowsa user to force the CPU Front Side Bus Frequency to
133Mhz.This jumper is only for Overclocking purpose. Inteland
RIOWORKS do not recommend a user to do CPU Overclocking as it may
damage your peripherals.

Step 2
Install Memory
SDVIA-100/SDVIA-LS uses Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM).Four
DIMM sockets are available for 3.3Volts (power level),PC100/PC133,
Unbuffered/Registered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
(SDRAM) with 32MB, 64MB,128MB, 256MB,512MB combinations. And the
total memory sizeis between 32MB and2GB at 100Mz memory bus speed.
IMPORTANT
qUse only Intel PC133/PC100-compliant Unbuffered/Registered
ECC/Non-ECC DIMM and VCM. DIMMs and this motherboard
operates at 133/100MHz FSB. If non-compliant modules are used,
the system will not be able to boot up because of the strict timing
issues involved under this speed
qTo utilize the chipset’s Error Checking and Correction (ECC)
features, you have to choose the DIMM module with 9 chips
(devices) per side (standard 8 chips (devices)/side plus 1 ECC chip)
and check if the setting is proper in the selection ”<Memory
Parity/ECC Check” in the selection “Advanced Chipset Setup” in
the BIOS Utility.
qUnbuffered DIMM and VCM DIMM should not be mixed and use
together.
qMemory installation in following combination as follows:
