POWER SUPPLY
S7-530A Board
Power-On/Off (Remote)
The S7-530A has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX
power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to
the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The systems power On/
Off button should be a momentary button that is normally open.
The S7-530A has been designed with “Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off the
system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off button,
and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the S7-530A’ s onboard circuit
controller) that can be controlled by the operating system. Windows 95/98 will
control this when the user clicks that they are ready to Shutdown the system.

FEATURES
S7-530A Features:
• Intel Pentium
®
Processor, Pentium Processor with MMX technology, AMD
K5/K6, Cyrix 6x86L/6x86MX & idt C6 operating at 133 ~ 500 MHz with
321 ZIF socket 7 provides scalability to accept faster Processors in the
future.
• Designed with SiS530 Chipset.
• Supports up to 512 Mega of DRAM (minimum of 16 MB) on board, You can
use 168-pin DIMM x 2. It will automatically detect Extended Data Output
(EDO) DRAM at 66MHz only or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM) at
66MHz or 100MHz (please see Section 3-4).
• Supports (2) 16 bit ISA slots, (2) 32 bit PCI slots, (2) independent high perfor
mance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO Mode 3/4 and Ultra
DMA 66 devices. The S7-530A supports (2) PCI Bus Master slots and a
jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces configuration confusion
when plugging in PCI card(s).
• Supports ATAPI (e.g. CD-ROM) devices on both Primary and Secondary IDE
interfaces.
• Designed with Winbond W83877TF Multi I/O: (1) floppy port, (1) parallel port
(EPP, ECP), and (2) serial ports (16550 Fast UART).
Note: Japanese “Floppy 3 mode” is also supported
• Built-in ATX 20-pin and supply connector.
• Features Award Plug & Play BIOS. With Flash Memory you can always
upgrade to the current BIOS as they are released.
• S7-530A utilizes a Lithium battery which provides environmental protection
and longer battery life.
• Software power-down when using Windows
®
95/98.
Features S7-530A

• Supports ring-in feature (remote power-on through external modem,
allows system to be turned on remotely.
• Resume by Alarm - Allows your system to turn on at a preselected time.
• Supports Keyboard power ON function (KBPO).
• Built-in WOL (W ake On Lan) Connector .
• Built-in ForteMedia FM801 PCI Sound.
• Built-in AGP 3D-Graphics.

Easy Installation Procedure
The following must be completed before powering on your new system:
3-1. Configure DIP Switch and Jumper to match your hardware
3-2. Install memory chips
3-3. Device Connectors
Section 3-1
Configure DIP Switch
We design this motherboard with a DIP Switch to make your installation fast and
easy.
The following will describe all of the DIP Switch that you are required to set before
moving on to step 3-2.
Note: The DIP Switch as depicted as shown (Figure 1) in their correct
physical orientation.

Table 1
Section 3-2
System Memory Configuration
Memory Layout
The S7-530A supports (2) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The
DIMMs can be either EDO (Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized
DRAM).
• DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or
125MHz (8ns) bus speed.
• If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure
your BIOS to read 60ns.
• When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the
4 clock variety over the 2 clock.
Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations usingDIMM.

DIMM Module Installation
Figure 3 displays the notch marks and what they should look like on your DIMM
memory module.
DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that will match with the onboard DIMM
socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a
90 degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 4) until it fits tightly into the DIMM
socket (figure 5).
