Features

The P5VP-A+ combines the stability and economy of a socket-7 mainboard with advanced features such as an AGP slot and 32-bit PCI expansion slots.

Economical Processing

The socket-7 processor socket supports a wide range of low cost Pentium and Pentium compatible processors from a variety of vendors. The mainboard supports a full range of processor voltages, processor clocks, and system bus speeds, so the board can be configured for almost any Pentium/Pentium-pinout processor. The list includes the Intel Pentium and Pentium-MMX, the AMD K5 or K6, the Cyrix/IBM 6X86 series, and the IDT C6 series. All of these processors deliver acceptable entry-level to business-class performance. All the processors have internal level-1 cache memory, and performance is further enhanced by the 512K/1 MB of level-2 PBSRAM cache memory that is installed on the mainboard.

High-Capacity Memory Support

Unlike many competitive socket seven boards, the P5VP-A+ has three DIMM sockets for 168-pin, 3.3 volt memory modules. The mainboard supports SDRAM memory modules and ECC (error correction code) and EC (error checking) are also supported. Using standard SDRAM DIMMs, each socket can be installed with a maximum of 256 MB memory for a total maximum memory of 768 MB.

Highly Integrated Support Chipset

The system logic is provided by the two-piece VIA chipset, the VT82C598MVP and the VT82C586B. The VT82C598MVP provides support for the Rev. 1.0 AGP slot. It meets the requirements for PC97 and supports the L2 cache memory, the PCI bus arbiter and the integrated Host-to-PCI bridge. The VT82C586B includes a PCI-to-ISA

bridge, power management functions, and full peripheral support including keyboard controller, DMA controller, real time clock, USB host control, and a plug and play controller.

Versatile Expansion Options

The P5VP-A+ mainboard has a full set of expansion slots. The Rev 1.0 AGP slot supports any of today’s very-high performance AGP display adapters. There are four 32-bit PCI slots for high performance expansion cards, and two ISA slots for legacy 8bit or 16-bit expansion cards. In total then, there are seven free slots available. The system is ready to run with the addition of just a display adapter so six slots are available for expansion cards, such as a sound card, a fax/modem, and network adapter, and so on.

Basic I/O Ports Integrated

The mainboard provides a basic set of I/O ports. The I/O ports are supported by the Winbond W83877 Super I/O chip and also the VIA chipset. The board has external connectors for two serial ports (UART 16550 –compatible), two USB ports, one parallel port (bidirectional/EPP/ECP), one PS/2 mouse port and one PS/2 keyboard port. A connector is provided for an optional standard infrared port. The mainboard includes an interface for one or two floppy disk drives, and two PCI IDE channels which can support UltraDMA-33 drives.

Programmable Firmware

The mainboard includes Award BIOS firmware. The firmware is on a flash memory chip for easy upgrades. The fully programmable firmware enhances the system features and allows users to set power management, hardware monitoring, system timing, and so on.

Full Software Support

The mainboard ships with a full set of support software including Bus-Mastered UltraDMA drivers, Windows 95 patch program, and Flash BIOS utility. Optionally, the support software can include a system monitor utility, LAN desk client manager, and a Desktop Management Interface, for system administrators.

Optional Hardware Monitoring

Optionally, the mainboard can be installed with a GL518SM system monitoring chip. The system monitor chip can track critical hardware parameters such as the processor temperature, the power supply voltages and the cooling fan speed. This option is very useful for the administration of large networked installations.

Before You Begin

Before you begin to install your P5VP-A+ mainboard, take some precautions to ensure that you avoid the possibility of damage to the product from static electricity. Ensure too that you are installing the mainboard into a suitable case.

Static Electricity

In adverse conditions, static electricity can accumulate and discharge through the integrated circuits and silicon chips on this product. These circuits and chips are sensitive and can be permanently damaged by static discharge.

♦ If possible wear a grounding wrist strap clipped to a safely grounded device

during the installation.

♦ If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge any static by touching the metal case

of a safely grounded device before beginning the installation.

♦ Leave all components inside their static-proof bags until they are required for

the installation procedure.

♦ Handle all circuit boards and electronic components carefully. Hold boards by

the edges only. Do not flex or stress circuit boards.

Choosing a Case

The P5VP-A+ mainboard has a power connector for an ATX power supply.

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 P5VP-A+ mainboard can support one or two floppy diskette drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.

The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports arranged in a standard ATX two-tier format. Ensure that your case has a suitable I/O template for the I/O ports.

Preparing the Mainboard

Prepare the main board by installing the Pentium or Pentium-compatible processor and then installing memory modules. This board supports processors that run from 100MHz through to over 300 Mhz. Finally, review all the important jumper settings to ensure that the board is configured correctly.

Install the Processor

1. Locate the zero insertion force (ZIF) socket-7 for the processor. On the socket

and on the processor, identify the pin 1 corner. You can identify the pin 1 corner by noting that in the rectangular matrix of pins and holes on the socket and processor, one pin and one hole is absent on the pin 1 corner.

Page 10

2. Push the socket locking lever away from the socket to unhook it. Swing the lever

into the upright position.

3. Insert the processor into the socket taking care that you have matched the pin 1

corners. No force is required, and the processor should seat smoothly into the socket.

4. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the latch on the side of the socket

to lock it in place.

5. If your processor includes a built-in cooling fan, connect the cable from the

cooling fan to the CPU cooling fan power supply connector on the mainboard CPU-FAN2.

Install the Memory Modules

For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs) which are installed with SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). This mainboard supports 3.3 volt DRAMs. The board supports memory which has ECC (Error Correction Code).

You can install one, two or three modules, and each module can have a capacity of up to 256 MB. All the memory modules that you install must be of the same kind. If you only install one memory module, install it in DIMM socket 1. If you install two modules, install them in DIMM sockets 1 and 2.

Installing DIMMs

1. The DIMM sockets are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cut-

outs so that they can only be installed correctly. Check that the cut-outs on the DIMM edge connector matches the notches in the SDRAM socket.

2. Push the latches on each side of the SDRAM socket down.

3. Install the DIMM into the socket and press it carefully but firmly down so that it

seats correctly. The latches at either side of the socket will be levered upwards and latch on the edges of the DIMM when it is installed correctly.

Check all the Jumper Settings

Check all the mainboard jumpers to ensure that the board is configured correctly according to the speed and timing of your processor, the VGA sub-system you are using, and so on.

A Note on Jumpers

A jumper consists of two or more pins mounted on the mainboard. Some jumpers might be arranged in a series with each pair of pins numbered differently. Jumpers are used to change the electronic circuits on the mainboard. When a jumper cap is placed on two jumper pins, the pins are SHORT. If the jumper cap is removed (or placed on just a single pin) the pins are OPEN.

Page 11

CPU Setting

To install a CPU on this mainboard you need to set up the board for a specific CPU by doing the following:

q Set the External Clock Speed q Set the Clock Multiplier Factor q Set the CPU Voltage

You configure the CPU settings on the board. In order to do this, you will need to know some information about the CPU you plan to use. This should be provided by the CPU vendor. You’ll need the following information:

q CPU Internal Clock Speed q CPU Voltage

The internal clock speed is the speed the CPU operates at to process data and is the one used by CPU manufacturers to indicate the speed of the chip. The CPU also has an external clock speed which is the speed at which it interacts with the external components.

CPU voltage may either be the same internally and externally or it may be split, depending on the CPU design. Some processors use one voltage for the core (Vcore) and another for input/output (Vio).

To configure the board for a CPU’s internal clock speed, you need to set the external clock speed, sometimes referred to as the bus speed, and the clock multiplier, so that the result is the internal clock speed of the CPU you are installing.

For example, if you have a system bus speed of 33 MHz and you want to run a CPU with an internal clock speed of 200 MHz, you need to set a clock multiplier of 6.

33MHz (External Clock) x 6 (Clock Multiplier) = 200MHz or an effective setting of 200MHz

A table of CPU settings is provided at the end of this manual. Consult the table if you are unsure of the settings for your CPU, and you do not have access to the original documentation of the CPU.

About the Setup Utility

This chapter explains how to use and modify the BIOS setup utility that is stored on the mainboard. The setup utility stores information about the mainboard components, and the configuration of other devices that are connected to it. The system uses this information to test and initialize components when it is started up, and to make sure everything runs properly when the system is operating.

The setup utility is installed with a set of default values. The default values are designed to ensure that the system will operate adequately. You will probably have to make changes to the setup utility whenever you add new components to your system such as new disk drives. You may be able to generate increased performance by changing some of the timing values in the setup, but this can be limited by the kind of hardware you are using, for example the rating of your memory chips. In certain circumstances, the system may generate an error message which asks you to make changes to the setup utility. This happens when the system finds an error during the POST (power on self test) that it carries out at start up.

Starting the Setup Utility

You can only start the setup utility shortly after the computer has been turned on. A prompt appears on the computer display which says “Press DEL to run Setup” . When you see this prompt, press the Delete key, and the system will start the setup utility and display the main menu of the utility.

Using the Setup Utility

When you press the Delete key to start setup, the main menu of the utility appears.

The main menu of the setup utility shows a list of the options that are available in the utility. A highlight shows which option is currently selected. You can use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options. When an option is highlighted, you can execute the option by pressing the Enter key.

Some options lead to dialog boxes which ask you verify that that you wish to execute that option. You usually answer these dialogs by typing Y for yes and N for no.

Some options lead to dialog boxes which ask for more information. Setting the User Password or Supervisor Password have this kind of dialog box.

Page 17

Some options lead to tables of items. These items usually have a value on the right side. The value of the first item is highlighted, and you can use the cursor arrow keys to select any of the other values in the table of items. When an item is highlighted, you can change the value by pressing the PageUp or PageDown keys, or the Plus or Minus keys. The PageUp and Plus keys cycle forward through the available values, the PageDown and Minus keys cycle backwards through the values.

When you are in the main menu, you can exit the utility by pressing the Escape key. You can save the current selections and exit the utility by pressing the F10 key. You can change the color scheme of the utility by pressing the F2 key while holding down the Shift key.

When you are in one of the options that displays a dialog box, you can return to the main menu by pressing the Escape key.

When you are in one of the options that displays a table of items, you can return to the main menu by pressing the Escape key. For some items, you can display a help message by pressing the F1 key. You can change the color scheme of the utility by pressing the F2 key while holding down the Shift key. You can press F5 to discard any changes you have made and return all items to the value that they held when the setup utility was started. You can press F6 to load the displayed items with a standard list of default values. You can press F7 to load the displayed items with a highperformance list of default values.

Page 18

Standard CMOS Setup Option

This option displays a table of items which defines basic information about your system.

Date and Time

The Date and Time items show the current date and time held by your computer. If you are running a Windows operating system, these items will automatically be updated whenever you make changes to the Windows Date and Time Properties utility.

Hard Disks Defaults: Auto

These items show the characteristics of any hard disk drives on the four available IDE channels. (Note that SCSI hard disk drives do not appear here.) You can automatically install most modern hard disks using the IDE HDD Auto Detect Option from the main menu. However, if you find that a drive cannot be automatically detected, you can use these items to select USER, and then manually enter the characteristics of the drive. The documentation provided with your drive provides the data you need to fill in the values for CYLS (cylinders), HEAD (read/write heads), and so on.

The documentation provided with the drive may not tell you what value to use under the MODE heading. If the drive is smaller than 528 MB, set MODE to Normal. If the drive is larger than 528 MB and it supports Logical Block Addressing, set MODE to LBA. Very few high-capacity drives do not support Logical Block Addressing. If you have such a drive, you might be able to configure it by setting the MODE to Large. If you’re not sure which MODE setting is required by your drive, set MODE to Auto and let the setup utility try to determine the mode automatically.

Drive A and Drive B Default: 1.44M, 3.5 in/None

These items define the characteristics of any diskette drive attached to the system. You can connect one or two diskette drives.

Page 19

Floppy 3 Mode Support Default: Disabled

Floppy 3 Mode is a special mode that supports 3.5” diskettes with a capacity of 1.2 MB. Outside of Japan, very few people use this kind of diskette.

Video Default: EGA/VGA

This item defines the video mode of the system. This mainboard has a built-in VGA graphics system so you must leave this item at the default value.

Halt On Default: All Errors

This item defines the operation of the system POST (Power On Self Test) routine. You can use this item to select which kind of errors in the POST are sufficient to halt the system.

Base, Extended and Other Memory.

These items show how much memory is available on the system. They are automatically detected by the system so you cannot manually make changes to these items.

BIOS Feature Setup Option

This option displays a table of items which defines more advanced information about your system. You can make modifications to most of these items without introducing fatal errors to your system.

Virus Warning Default: Disabled

When this item is enabled it provides some protection against viruses which try to write to the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk drive. This item is disabled as a default so that you can install an operating system. We recommend that you enable Virus Warning as soon as you have installed your disk with an OS.

Power Management Setup Option

This option displays a table of items which lets you control the power management of the system. Modern operating systems take care of much of the routine power management.

This system supports three levels of power-saving modes; doze mode, standby mode, and suspend mode. Standby mode uses less power than doze mode and suspend mode uses the least power.

The power management in the setup utility lets you specify a timeout for each of the power-saving modes, and a timeout for a hard disk drive power down. A timeout,

Page 23

means a period of time when the system (or the hard disk drive) is inactive. If the timeout completes, the system power-saving mode will execute, or the hard disk drive will power down.

You can resume from the power-saving modes by carrying out any of the activities which are enabled in the list **PM Events**. If the hard disk has been powered down it will automatically resume to full power when an access to the hard disk is required (this takes just a few seconds).

Power Management Default: User Define

This item acts like a master switch for the power-saving modes and hard disk timeouts. If this item is set to Disabled, all the power-saving modes are disabled. If this item is set to Max Saving, doze, standby, and suspend mode, will occur after a timeout of 20 seconds. If this item is set to Min Saving, doze, standby, and suspend mode will occur after a timeout of 40 minutes. If the item is set to User Define, you can insert your own timeouts for the power-saving modes.

This item acts like a master switch for all the interrupt items that follow. If this item is set to ON, the all the following interrupts can be manually configured to act as resets for the power saving timeouts. If this item is set to OFF, then all the following interrupt items cannot be used to reset the power saving timeouts.

IRQX

These interrupt events can act as triggers to reset the power saving timeouts or other system maintenance tasks. If you set an interrupt event to Primary, any activity on that interrupt will reset the timeouts that use the primary timer (e.g. the power saving modes). If you set an interrupt to Secondary, then any activity on the interrupt will reset those timeouts that use the secondary timer (usually background maintenance tasks). If you set an interrupt event to Disabled, any activity on the interrupt will not reset the timeouts.

PNP/PCI Configuration Option

This option displays a table of items that configures how PNP (Plug and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in your system. If you have not installed a riser card with expansion slots, you do not need to make any changes to this option.
