System Memory Configuration
This VIA 693Apollo Pro-Plus motherboard supports 168 pin
DIMM of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB or 64MB or 128MB to
form a memory size between 8MB to 768MB (SDRAM). VIA
693 Apollo Pro-Plus chipsets provide “Table Free ”function. It
means that users can install DRAM with any configuration and
in any bank, and that is why the DRAM table is not needed but
do remember that the DRAM must be 3.3V type. For 100MHz
CPU environment, the SDRAM specification must comply
with PC-100 spec.

Infrared Port Module Connector (J2 pin6-10)
The system board provides a 5-pin infrared connector-R1
for an optional wireless transmitting and receiving module.
Pin 6 through 10 are Transmit, GND, Receive (low speed),
Receive (high speed), and Vcc, respectively.
J2 pin12, 13: PWR Switch
Power Switch: Toggle this pin for turning on/off of the
Power supply (for ATX power only).
SLEEP Switch (J2 pin14, 15)
Toggle this jumper forces the system to sleep and the system
won’t wake up until the hardware event is coming. (The
BIOS Power Management setting must be Enabled.)
Speaker Connector (J1 pin1-4)
The speaker connector is a 4-pin connector for connecting
the system and the speaker. (See the following drawing for
jumper position.)
Reset Switch (J1 pin5, 6)
The system board has a 2-pin connector for rebooting your
computer without having to turn off your power switch.
This prolongs the life of the system’s power supply.
Power LED and Keylock Switch (J1 pin8-12)
The keylock switch is a 5-pin connector for locking the
keyboard for security purposes. (See the following drawing
for jumper position, and pin1~3 is connected to power LED
and pin 4~5 is connected to keylock switch.)

Standard CMOS Setup
Standard CMOS Setup allows you to record some basic
system hardware configuration and set the system clock and
error handling. You only need to modify the configuration
values of this option when you change your system
hardware configuration or the configuration stored in the
CMOS memory gets lost or damaged.
Run the Standard CMOS Setup as follows:
1. Choose “STANDARD CMOS SETUP”from the Main
Menu and a screen with a list of options will appear.
