Overview
The TM-VAK7PE(EB)is a AMD Athlon based mainboard that utilizes VIA
KT133 + 686A chipset, a high level of integrated function. The AMD Athlon is
a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integrated L2 Cache, which
is powerful enough to support bandwidth requirements of a large range of
applications, hardware, graphics and memory technologies.
Socket A is the name for AMD’s new socket interface designed to support
both AMD Duron and AMD Athlon processors. This innovation is made
possible by integrating the L2 cache memory on chip with the processor.
Socket A will help enable smaller enclosures and ultimately result in a wider
variety of solutions in the market.
The AMD Duron processor is driven from the AMD Athlon processor core. It
features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200 MHz front size side
system bus, and enhanced 3Dnow! Technology. Although both processors
are related, there are key differences. The AMD Athlon processor is
targeted at the performance segment, and as such will have more cache
memory and higher clock speeds.

EscoCAM – An Integrated Module
11
Page 12
User’s Manual
It’s so valuable that you don't have to pay thrice to buy three fashionable devices of
PC Camera, Debugging and IrDA ware now because we have integrated them into
our EscoCAM in the shape of a lovely whale to escort your system. The whale is the
king of the sea and the symbol of all-mighty power. With PC camera, Debug, CPU
heat monitor and IrDA device built into the EscoCAM, we offers you the unbeatable
solution to upgrade the value of your PC system.
1. PC Camera:
As video and audio email is gaining popularity, PC cameras are making inroads into
PC systems and it will increasingly become a standard PC peripheral. In view of this
strong market demand, we has timely launched its state-of-the-art PC cameras.
Besides, our PC Camera is allowed to adjust the Focus of Camera via Keyboard
or mouse instead of wheel. It’s a patent design in PC Camera. Hope you enjoy
this new technology.
2. External Debug :
When initializing system, LCD will check the peripherals of CPU, Chipset, DRAM,
BIOS, Keyboard, CMOS, VGA card, Devices, FDD, HDD and Cache…Once
peripherals were not been properly installed or defective, the LCD display will show
out the detective place. After system successfully booted up, Time & Date, CPU
Temperature, CPU V-Core Voltage, CPU Fan Speed will take turn to show out on the
LCD display.
Advantages of Debug Device For User:
In comply with fast development of IT and e-Commerce, the time of people
12

User’s Manual
to stay together with PC will be beyond what we can image. Eventually, the
high density use of PC is unavoidable to cause high defect rate. Especially,
when warranty is over, user will is not in a position to bargain the upraising
repair cost. The worse is that users are always overcharged when they have
don’t have any sense about defect status. However, once PC system is
equipped with basic debugging devices, user is able to easily understand
how far the hardware problem going; thereby drastically minimize the time
and cost from RMA.
3. Monitor CPU Temp. And FAN Working Status:
Audio, video and multi-tasking functions call for faster and faster CPUs to improve
system efficiency. However, faster CPUs will generate more heat which must be
dissipated in a timely manner. Therefore, a more efficient fans to dissipate heat is as
important as watch-out of fan working situation. In this Internet era, people are using
their computers for longer and longer time which can easily cause overheat and
damage to the CPU. Prolonged use of the computer will increase CPU temperature.
It is therefore necessary to have a device to constantly monitor the CPU temperature,
CPU fan speed and V-Core voltage and timely remind user.
4. IrDA For Data Transmission :
As more and more computers, notebook, mobile phone and PDA are installed
with the IrDA device for wireless transmission, we add in this extra value in the
EscoCAM.

I. For TM-VAK7 Mainboard :
If you use TM-VAK7P, the most updated mainboard, it’s already built-in all the
circuit of EscoCAM so that user don’t need a extra daughter card to connect it.
The connection drawing as follows:
II. For All Others Mainboards:
If the mainboard you used is not TM-VAK7, you need A PCI daughter card to

BIOS Update Note
Do not update the BIOS if no abnormalities occur. However, if BIOS update
is needed, consult your dealer first. Prior to updating your BIOS, you
are recommended to save the original BIOS values.
1. Download the AWARD BIOS Flash Utility file (Awdflash.exe)
2. Download the BIOS file used by your mainboard(e.g., BXV110N.BIN)
3. Reboot your system (but do not run Himem.sys and Emm386.exe)
to execute the new BIOS program.
4. Execute these commands: Awdflash BXV110N.BIN
5. When this message displays: "Do you want to save BIOS (Y/N)?"
Type "N"
6. When this message displays: "Are you sure to program (Y/N)?"
Type "Y"
