Hardware Setup
There are two ways to set the CPU type and both ways are
controlled by JP13, JP14, JP15, and JP16:
1. Use jumpers (hardware): JP13 ~ JP16 must be set. Refer
to the following pages (CPU Type Jumper Configuration).
2. Use BIOS (jumperless): JP13 ~ JP16 must be all closed at
pin 1-2 (default). Refer to BIOS “CPU CHIPSET FEATURE
SETUP”section for a detailed description.

System Memory Configuration
This VIA 693 motherboard supports 168 pin DIMM of 4MB,
8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB to form a
memory size between 8MB to 768MB (SDRAM). VIA 693
chipsets provide “Table- Free”function. It means that users can
install DRAM with any configuration and in any bank, which is
why the
DRAM table is not needed, but do remember that the DRAM
must be 3.3V Unbuffered and 4 clock type.

CPU Heat Sink Installation
Follow the following steps in order to install your Intel
PPGA Celeron 370 properly.
Step 1:
If you use INTEL BOX TYPE Celeron 370CPU and the clip block the case hen
you must change the clip with the one that we send you within the mainboard
Step 2:
Remove the fan and change the clip with the one that we send
you when you finish changing the clip it should be as following
photo.
Step 3:

Power Switch: Toggle this pin to turn the power supply
on/off (for ATX power only).
SMI Switch (J2 pin14, 15)
Toggle this jumper forces the system to sleep. The system
won’t wake up until the hardware event is coming. (The
BIOS Power Management setting must be Enabled.)

14
