Handling Precautions
Warning:
1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on
the motherboard. Before handling any motherboard outside of its
protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge
in your body.
2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly
attached. PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL RESULT!
Observe the following basic precautions when handling the motherboard
or other computer components:
nWear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is
connected to a natural earth ground.
nTouch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a
water pipe.
nAvoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards,
and modules with the golden fingers connectors plugged into the
expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their
monting brackets.
The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged
properly.

Overview
Overview
Chapter 1
The new Micro ATX, Socket 370 1stMainboard FA33 supports a full range of
the latest generation Intel® processors. Intels new Celeron  and lightening
fast Coppermine processors of up to 1GHz*, are supported with Front Side
Bus of 66 / 100 / 133 MHz.
The FA33 is based around the VIA Apollo Pro 694X North-Bridge and the VIA
Super South. The North Bridge supports AGP 4X bandwidth which enables
the increase of the AGP bus of up to 66x4 MHz, providing vastly improved
data transfer speeds for graphics as well as reducing power consumption. The
VIA Super South supports Sound Blaster Pro, which provides exceptional
onboard audio capabilities.
With 2 DIMM, the FA33 affords a large 1.0 GB of memory support, while
support for the PC133 protocol results in a highly promoted and advanced
system performance. Ultra DMA 66/100 allows for high-range bandwidth and
high-speed data transfer necessary for the improvement of idle CPU sequen-
tial transfers.
Extensive connectivity is provided by 2 serial ports, 1 parallel port, 1 PS/2
mouse and 1 keyboard connector, 4 USB connectors(2 in rear side, 2 in front
side) and 1 media connector ( MIDI/Game port, Line-in, Line-out, Mic-in). 1
AGP 4x, 1 CNR and 3 PCI provide additional expansion.

■Convenient Rear Panel USB Connection Support
Two USB ports integrated in the rear I/O panel with one manufacturing
optional USB connector for two front panel USB connections allow con-
venient and high-speed Plug and Play connections to the growing num-
ber of USB compliant peripheral devices on the market.
■■
■■
■Remote Wake On LAN Support
Onboard Wake On LAN (WOL) connector allows remote management on
your network even the system is power off. The feature provides a sim-
pler and convenient control to LAN-based networks.
■AGP, CNR, and PCI Expansion Slots
One AGP Bus expansion slot, three PCI Bus expansion slots, and one
CNR Bus slot provide the room to install a full range of add-on cards.
■■
■■
■Onboard Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
The motherboard is installed one 32-bit AGP bus with a dedicated 66MHz/
133MHz path from the graphics card to the system memory (in 4x mode)
offering much greater bandwidth than the 32-bit PCI bus does. AGP en-
abled 3D graphics cards can directly access main memory across this fast
path instead of using local memory. To make use of the improved AGP
performance, the motherboard should be installed with SDRAM type
memory and the VGA card and drivers should also be fully AGP compli-
ant. Using Microsofts Windows 98 and Windows 2000 which implement
DirectDraw will allow the system to take full use of AGPs benefits with-
out the need to install additional drivers.
■Enhanced PCI Bus Master IDE Controller with Ultra DMA 33/66/100
Support
Integrated Enhanced PCI Bus Master IDE controller features two dual-
channel connectors that up to four Enhanced IDE devices, including CD-
ROM and Tape Backup Drives, as well as Hard Disk Drives supporting
the new Ultra DMA 100 protocol. Standard PIO Mode 3, PIO Mode 4,
DMA Mode 2, DMA Mode 4, UltraDMA-100 Mode 5 devices are also
supported.

ACPI Ready
This mainboard fully implements the new ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) 1.0B Hardware and BIOS requirement. If you install ACPI
aware of operating system, such as Windows 98, you fully utilized the power
saving under ACPI. (Windows ME/2000 Professional supports ACPI func-
tions.)
