Introducing the Mainboar d
IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn
Thank you for choosing the K7VMM+ mainboard. This mainboard has a
Socket-A support for the AMD K7 processors which has a front-side bus
speed of 200/266 MHz.
This mainboard has a KM266 chipset that supports a 4X specification AGP
slot for highly graphics display, 100/133 MHz DDR/SDR, and Ultra DMA
ATA100/133 function to provide outstanding high system performance under
all types of system operations. The mainboard has the built-in AC97 Codec, a
CNR (Communications and Networking Riser) slot and a built-in
10BaseT/100BaseTX Network Interface. This mainboard has the 128-bit
2D/3D AGP Graphics Accelerator with 32MB frame buffer, supporting AGP 4X
266MHz mode up to 1GB/s bandwidth, which provides a direct connection
between the graphics sub-system and memory so that the graphics do not
have to compete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus. There
is a full set of I/O Ports including PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, two backpanel USB 2.0 ports, one parallel port, one serial port and one onboard VGA
(S3). Connecting extended USB modules to the mainboard makes four extra
USB 2.0 ports (headers USB2 and USB3).
This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful multimedia workstation that is network ready. The board is Micro ATX size and has
power connectors for an ATX power supply.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard complies with the specifications for the micro-ATX system case. Some features on
the mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to
indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports
all the features required. The mainboard can support one floppy diskette drive
and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient power and
space for all the drives that you intend to install.
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that
the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge
of the mainboard.
This mainboard has a micro-ATX form factor of 24.4 x 24.4 cm. Choose a
case that accommodates this form factor.
This concludes Chapter 1. The next chapter explains how to install the mainboard.

Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:
• W ear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid
damage from static electricity.
• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely
grounded object before working on the mainboard.
• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in.
• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the mainboard
in a case:
This illustration shows an example of a mainboard being
installed in a tower-type case:
Note: Do not overtighten
the screws as this
can stress the mainboard.
Most system cases have
mounting brackets i nstalled in
the case, which correspond to
the holes in the mainboard.
Place the mainboard over the
mounting brackets and secure
the mainboard onto the mount ing brackets with screws.
2. Secure the mainboard with
screws where appropriate.
1. Place the mainboard
over the mounting brackets.
Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and
expansion slots on your mainboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the mainboard.
Setting Jumpers
Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with
more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.
The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper.
When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the
jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just
one pin, the jumper is OPE N.

This illustration shows a 3-pin
jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

JP2: Clear CMOS Memory Jumper
This jumper can clear the CMOS memory. You may need to clear the CMOS
memory if the settings in the Setup Utility are incorrect that your mainboard
can’t operate. To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables,
and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR setting for a few seconds.
JP3: CPU Clock Selector
Use this jumper to select the processor clock 133 MHz or 100 MHz.
JP5: Keyboard Power On Selector
If you enable the Keyboard Power On feature, you can use hot keys on your
keyboard as a power on/off switch for the system.
Note: The system must provide 1A on the +5VSB (+5V Standby) signal before
using the Keyboard Power On function.
