3.1 Processor and CPU Voltage
The TI5VGA is designed to take a Socket 7-based processor with a bus
speed of 66, 75, 83 and 100 MHz. The internal clock of the CPU can be
multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 and 5.5 of the bus clock, the CPU
frequency can be 100 to 550MHz.
The onboard CPU voltage regulator provides support for CPUs Vcore
which require voltage other than 3.3V such as 2.8V, and/or power
consumption higher than 10 watts.
3.2 L2 Cache Memory
The TI5VGA supports 1MB P.B. (Pipelined Burst) Synchronous Cache.
2MB is optional. The P.B. Synchronous Cache boosts the system’s
performance, 10% higher than regular Asynchronous Cache.
3.3 Main Memory
The TI5VGA motherboard supports three 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line
Memory Module) sockets. DIMM modules can be 8MB, 16MB, 32MB,
64MB and 128MB in EDO DRAM or SDRAM type. DIMM1, DIMM2
or DIMM3 bank can be populated first. Examples are shown in the

3.4 BIOS
The BIOS on the TI5VGA motherboard provides the standard BIOS
functions plus the following additional features:
1. DMI (Desktop Management Interface)
The motherboard supports DMI to enable computer system management
in an enterprise.
2. ISA Plug and Play (PnP) Extension
Unlike PCI cards which are plug and play, ISA cards require setting
jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts. To make a computer system PnP,
an ISA PnP standard is established and supported by new OSes, such as
Windows 95. Under Windows 95, the motherboard BIOS must have ISA
PnP extension to support the new ISA PnP cards.
3. Power Management
The power management feature provides power savings by slowing down
the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the HDD
spindle motor.
3.5 Onboard PCI EIDE
The PCI EIDE controller is part of the VT82686A chipset. It supports
PIO mode 3/4 and bus mastering. The peak transfer rate of PIO mode 3/4
can be as high as 17MB/sec. Using HDDs that support bus mastering, the
peak transfer rate can reach 22MB/sec. There are two IDE connectors,
primary IDE and secondary IDE. With two devices per connector, up to
four IDE drives are supported. The VT82686A also supports UDMA33
and UDMA66, a new “synchronous DMA” protocol for faster data
transfers.
3.6 Onboard Multi-I/O
The multi-I/O is integrated in the VIA chipset that supports two 16550
UART-compatible serial ports, one high speed EPP/ECP parallel port
and one floppy controller. The floppy controller supports 2.88MB
format. The I/O port addresses of the serial and parallel ports are
programmable via BIOS set-up.

Chapter 3 Hardware Description

3.7 Onboard Hardware Monitoring
The hardware monitoring function is integrated in the VIA chipset. It
monitors the system temperature, voltages and fan speeds. With the use
of a system management utility, the hardware status can be checked and
warning message can be displayed when there is a problem.
3.8 I/O Port Address Map
Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port
addresses which also becomes the identityof the device. There are a total
of 1K port address space available. The following table lists the I/O port
addresses used on the motherboard.

3.9 DMA Channels
There are seven DMA Channels available on the motherboard. Only
DMA2 is used by the floppy controller. In the case that ECP mode on the
parallel port is used, DMA1 or DMA3 will be used.
3.10 Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ)
There are a total of 15 IRQ linesavailable on the motherboard. Peripheral
devices use interrupt request lines to notify the CPU for the service
required. The following table shows the IRQ used by the devices on the
motherboard.
Level Function
IRQ0 System Timer Output
IRQ1 Keyboard
IRQ2 Interrupt Cascade
IRQ3 Serial Port #2
IRQ4 Serial Port #1
IRQ5 Parallel Port #2

3.11 Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) Slot
The TI5VGA motherboard comes with an AGP slot for an AGP VGA
card that supports 133MHz 2X mode for AD and SBA signaling to
provide high-performance 3D graphic display.

Chapter 4 Hardware Settings
The following sections describe the necessary procedures and proper
jumper settings to configure the TI5VGA motherboard.

4.4 JP5: Clear CMOS Selection......................................................20
The TI5VGA-100MHz, on the other hand, supports VIA’s MVP3
chipset and has a maximum CPU bus speed of 100MHz. Please note the
correct settings of both the CPU and SDRAM clocks.
In the case your motherboard TI5VGA-100MHz has a processor
supporting 100MHz CPU clock (such as AMD K6-2/300) and your
DIMM module is PC100 compliant, the SDRAM clock can be set to
100MHz. Otherwise, set the SDRAM clock at 66MHz.
For the locations of the jumpers, refer to Figure 2 on the following page.
