Introduction

This mainboard is a SiS530 100MHz highly integrated
high-performance mainboard based on the advanced
Socket 7 microprocessor and provides CPU Plug and Play
feature for faster and easier CPU installation. The
mainboard features highly flexible configurations and is
fully IBM PC/AT compatible.

The mainboard uses a Super 7 chipset with 3D video

inside which is built with a high performance 64-bit 3D
AGP Graphics Accelerator with 8MB frame buffer. It

supports the PCI/ISA and Green standards, provides the
Host/AGP bridge, and integrates all system control
functions such as ACPI(Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface). The ACPI provides more energy saving
features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
function.

The mainboard has an onboard PCI Sound to
meet PC98' specifications for 3D Multimedia systems,
and built-in Hardware Monitor circuit to monitor
CPU fan speeds/voltages/temperature with SiS
System Hardware Monitor. And the mainboard BIOS
provides Trend's ChipAway Virus to ensure the entire
boot process virus free.

Introduction 5

Unpacking the Mainboard & Static
Electricity Precautions

This Mainboard package contains the following items:

1.This Mainboard and the Device Driver

2.This User’s Guide and AT cables

3.SPDIF/IN cable(optional)

4.Optional Digital Audio ribbon cable/bracket

5.COM2 ribbon cable/bracket

The mainboard is easily damaged by static electricity.
Follow the precautions below while unpacking or
installing the mainboard.

1.Do not remove the mainboard from its original

package until you are ready to install it.

2.Frequently ground yourself to discharge any static

electric charge that may build up in your body
while working on installation and/or
configuration. For example, you may ground
yourself by grasping an unpainted portion of the
systemÕs metal chassis.

3.Remove the mainboard from its anti-static

packaging and place it on a grounded surface,
component side up.

4.Handle the mainboard by its edges or by the

mounting bracket to avoid touching its
components.

5.Check the mainboard for damage. If any integrated

circuit appears loose, press carefully to seat it
firmly in its socket.

6.Do not apply power if the mainboard appears

damaged. If there is damage to the board contact
your dealer immediately.

Chapter 2

Hardware Configuration

Before you install the mainboard into the system chassis,
you may find it convenient to first configure the
mainboard’s hardware. This chapter describes how to set
jumpers and install memory modules, and where to
attach components, however, the CMOS jumper is set on
the “Clear” position when this mainboard is shipped and
you need to set it to the “Normal” position in order for
the mainboard perform properly.

Warning:Set JP6 to “Normal” position before setting other

jumpers or memory modules. This mainboard will
not function properly if you fail to do so.

CPU Installation

CPU Speed Setting

This mainboard provides CPU Plug and Play technology,
so that there is no need to do the CPU jumper setting.
Enter the BIOS Setup and select “CPU Plug and Play
Setup”. Choose the correct CPU speed to match your
CPU installed.

However, if you need to change a CPU, follow the below
steps:

1.Power off system and unplug the power core.

2.Install a new CPU to Socket7.

3.Clear CMOS RAM (see Jumper Settings) or hold

down the <Insert> key then power on the system.

4.After power on the system, then enter the BIOS

Setup section to set the new CPU speed.

Note:If the CPU speed is set incorrectly and fails to boot up

the system, then repeat steps 1, 3, 4 again.

Memory Installation

The mainboard lets you add up to 768MB of system
memory through 3 DIMM sockets on the board, that is
divided into 3 banks: Bank 0, Bank 1, and Bank 2, which
supports the following memory configurations.

Bank Memory Module

Bank 0
DIMM1 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB

Bank 1
DIMM2 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB

Bank 2
DIMM3 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB

Total System Memory = Bank 0 + Bank 1 + Bank 2

Notes:1.Supports only 3.3V SDRAM DIMM modules.

2.The SDRAM must be installed in DIMM1 first, if onboard
VGA is being used.

Hardware Configuration

Jumper Settings

JP6 - CMOS RAM Clear Selector

The battery on this mainboard is designed to retain the
system configuration in CMOS RAM. In order to save the
life of the battery, this jumper is set to "Clear CMOS"
position when this board is shipped, therefore you need to
set this jumper to "Normal" position before setting other
system configuration.
