2-3 SYSTEM MEMORY CONFIGURATION
• This VIA 693 Apollo Pro Plus motherboard supports 168pin DIMM of 4MB,
8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB to form a memory size
between 8MB up to 768MB (SDRAM). VIA 693 Apollo Pro Plus chipset
provides “Table-Free” function. It means that users can install DRAM with
any configuration and in any ban , and that is why the DRAM table is not
needed but do remember that the DRAM must be 3.3V type. For 100 /
133MHz CPU environment, the SDRAM specification must comply with
PC-100 / PC-133 spec.
2-4 JUMPER DEFINITIONS
• The figure below shows the location of the motherboard’s jumper bloc s.
CAUTION
• Do not move the jumper with the power on. Always turn off the power and unplug
the power cord from the computer before changing the jumper. Otherwise, the
motherboard could be damaged.
GND
+12V
SENSOR
Those connectors support processor/system/chassis cooling fan with +12V. Those
support three pin head connector. When connecting the wire to FAN connectors
user should give attention that the red wire is the positive and should be connected
to the +12V the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your
motherboard has Hardware Monitor chipset on-board you must use a specially
designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function.
For fans with fan speed sensor every rotation of the fan will send out 2 pulses.
System Hardware Monitor will count and report the fan rotation speed.
NOTE 1: Always consult vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.
NOTE 2: CPU FAN supports the FAN control. You can install PC
Alert utility. This will automatically control the CPU
FAN speed according to the actual CPU temperature.

DESCRIPTION
This connector supports an optional wireless
transmitting and receiving infrared module. This
module mounts to a small opening on system cases
that support this feature.
User must also configure the setting through
BIOS program "Peripheral Setup" to select whether
UART2 is directed for use with COM2 or IrDA.
Use the five pins and connect a ribbon cable from
the module to the motherboard's IR connector
according to the pin definitions.

between ON and SOFT OFF.
Pushing the switch while in the ON mode for more
4 seconds will turn the system off.
The system power LED shows the status of the
system's power.

PIN 15; GND
DESCRIPTION
This allows user to manually place the system into a
suspend mode or "Green" mode, where system
activity is decreased to save electricity and prolong
the life of certain components when the system is
not in use. This 2-oin connector connects to the
case-mounted suspend switch. If you do not have a
switch for the connector, you may use the "Turbo
Switch".
SMI is activated when it detects a short to open
moment and therefore leaving it shorted will not
cause any problems. This may require one or two
presses depending on the position of the switch.
Wake-Up can be controlled by settings in the BIOS
but the keyboard will always allow wake-up(the SMI
lead cannot wake up the system).

• This connector connects to an ATX power supply. The plug from the power
supply only inserts in an orientation because of the different hole sizes.
Find the proper orientation and push down firmly ma ing sure that all pins
are aligned.
• Reminding that your power supply should support at least 10mA on the 5V
standby voltage. It may cause an difficulty to power on the system if the
power supply cant support the load.
• For Wake On LAN function, the power supply should support at least
720mA current.
