Overview
Thank you for choosing the RIOWORKSTM SDVIA-100/SDVIA-LS high
performance motherboard. The SDVIA-100/SDVIA-LS is a Dual Socket-370
motherboard (M/B) based on the ATX form factor featuring the VIAApollo
Pro 133A Chipsets.As the latest VIA chipset is built in the M/B,SDVIA-
100/SDVIA-LS fully supportsIntel®500MHz-1GMHz+PIII/Coppermine FC-
PGA processor at 100/133 MHz FSB (Front Side Bus) frequency or single
667~766Mhz + Celeron FC-PGA CPU.In the memory support,SDVIA-
100/SDVIA-LS provides four memory sockets for the PC100/133 memory
and the totalmaximum memory size can beup to2GB.The more advantage
is SDVIA-100/SDVIA-LS provides dual ATA 100 onboard IDE channel to
increase I/O transformation to maximum 200MB/sec (100MB/sec per IDE
channel)
Flexibility and expandability are always concerned by RIOWORKSTM,
SDVIA-100/SDVIA-LS containssix32bit/33MhzPCI slots for numerous add-
on cards.Other features such as onboard SCSI interface (Optional),
onboard Intel®82559 10/100 Mbps LAN port (Optional)will provide high
system capabilities thatmeet a wide range of demanding Sever applications.

SCSI Onboard
(Optional) Use famous Adaptec Ultra160 chip as the onboard SCSI controller of SDVIA-100/SDVIA-LS. As known,
Adaptec 7892 is a high performance, 64bit/66MHz
and Ultra160 SCSI controller. It is able to provide
theoretical 160MB/s data transfer rate. It is fully
backward compatible with all of the SCSI standards
such as Ultra, Ultra Wide, and Ultra2. In order to
provide flexibility and expandability, SDVIA-
100/SDVIA-LS provides two common SCSI internal
connectors for the SCSI devices: one is “SCSI
Ultra3-50 for ultra SCSI devices; one connectors are
“ULTRA3 SCSI” for Ultra160 SCSI devices.
LAN Onboard
(Optional) Use Intel
®
82559 Fast Ethernet Multifunction
controller as onboard network interface controller.
Intel
