1.6 What is AGP
?
The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports an AGP port. The main purpose of the AGP port is to provide fast access to system memory.
The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs. 32­bits at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and side band addressing. When the 2x-data rate is used, the port can transmit data at 533MB/sec (66.6*2*4). The read-queue can be used to pipeline reads – removing the effects of the reads-latency. Side band addressing can be used to transmit the data address on a separate line in order to speed up the transaction.

3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
3.1. UNPACKING
The mainboard package should contain the following:
The 6VMA mainboard.
Universal Retention Mechanism & Attach Mount
USER'S MANUAL for mainboard.
Cable set for IDE, Floppy devices.
CD for Mainboard.(TUCD)
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for damage. Press down on all of the socket IC's to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this only on with the board placed on a firm flat surface.
M
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.

3.4. DRAM INSTALLATION
The main board can be installed with 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 MB (128Mb Technology) 168 pins DIMM module DRAM, and the DRAM speed must be 67~100 MHz for SDRAM when system bus speed is set to 66MHz. The DRAM memory system on main board consists of bank 0, 1& bank 2.
Since 168 pins DIMM module is 64 bits width, using 1 PCS which can match a 64 bits system. The total memory size is 16MB ~ 256MB SDRAM. The DRAM installation position refer to Figure 3.1, and notice the Pin 1 of DIMM

module must match with the Pin 1 of DIMM socket. Insert the DRAM DIMM module into the DIMM socket at Vertical angle. If there is a wrong direction of Pin 1, the DRAM DIMM module couldn't be inserted into socket completely.
3.5. CPU SPEED SETUP
The default system bus speed is 66 / 100MHz (SW2). The user can change the DIP SWITCH (SW1) selection to set up the CPU speed for 233 - 650MHz processor. The CPU speed must match with the frequency RATIO. It will cause system hanging up if the frequency RATIO is higher than CPU's.

The CPU is a sensitive electric component and it can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so users must keep it away from metal surface when the CPU is installed onto mainboard.
Note: It’ s strongly recommended that set the system speed
according to your hardware configuration: CPU, SDRAM, Cards, etc.
3.6. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM
The mainboard contains RTC & CMOS SRAM on board. They have a power supply from external battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC is a REAL-TIME CLOCK device, which provides the DATE & TIME to system. The CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of system configuration, so the system can automatically boot OS every time. Since
Page 22
6VMA
3-10
the lifetime of internal battery is 5 years, the user can change a new Battery to replace old one when it has consumed.
3.7. SPEAKER CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
There is a speaker in AT system for sound purpose. The 4 - Pins connector
SPK is used to connect speaker. Anode connects +, Cathode connects −.
3.8. HARDWARE RESET SWITCH CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
The RESET switch on panel provides users with HARDWARE RESET function. The system will do a cold start after the RESET switch is press and released by user. The RESET switch is a 2 PINS connector and should be installed to RES on mainboard.
3.9. POWER LED CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
System has power LED lamp on the panel of case. The power LED will light on off or flash to indicate which step on the system. The connector should be connected to LED of mainboard in correct direction.
3.10. IDE & ATAPI DEVICE INSTALLATION
There are two-Enhanced PCI IDE ports (IDE1, IDE2) on board, which following ATAPI standard SPEC. Any one IDE port can connected to two ATAPI devices (IDE Hard Disk, CD-ROM & Tape Driver), so total four ATAPI devices can exist in a system. The HD is the active LED port for ATAPI devices.
3.11. PERIPHERAL DEVICE INSTALLATION
After the I/O device installation and jumpers setup, the mainboard can be mounted into the case and fixed by screw. To complete the mainboard installation, the peripheral device could be installed now. The basic system needs a display interface card. If the PCI - Bus device is to be installed in the system, any one of three PCI - Bus slots can be used.

3.12.PS/2 KEYBOARD & MOUSE INSTALLATION
The mainboard supports PS/2 Mouse. The BIOS will auto detect whether the PS/2 Mouse is installed or not & assign IRQ12 for PS/2 Mouse port if it is installed. After installing the peripheral device, the user should check everything again, and prepare to power-on the system.
