Socket-370 (Pentium® III processor). The primary features of the Apollo
Pro133A-North Bridge are: Slot-1 or Socket-370 CPU (Front Side Bus)
Interface (66 / 100 / 133MHz), DRAM Memory Interface (66 / 100 / 133MHz),
AGP Bus Interface (66MHz), PCI Bus Interface (33MHz), Mobile Power
Management.

The VT82C686A PSIPC (PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral
Controller) is a high integration, high performance, power-efficient, and high
compatibility device that supports Intel and non-Intel based processor to
PCI bus bridge functionality to make a complete Microsoft PC99-compliant
PCI/ISA system.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard operates with Intel® Pentium® III (FC-PGA) processor. The
mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket 370 for easy CPU installation.
The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to
prevent overheating.

3. Press the lever down to
complete the installation.

2 . Locate Pin 1 in the socket

and look for the white dot or
cut edge in the CPU. Match
Pin 1 with the white dot/cut
edge. Then, insert the CPU.
It should insert easily.

2.1-1 CPU Installation Procedures

CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2-2

The BIOS can be used to set the CPU Host Bus Frequency Clock.

If CPU Clock = 66MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 3.5

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio

= 66MHz x 3.5
= 233MHz

2.1-2 CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2-3

2.1-3 CPU Speed Setting: SW1/SW2

To adjust the speed of the CPU, you must know the specification of your
CPU (always ask the vendor for CPU specification). The mainboard can
auto-detect between 66, 100 or 133MHz CPU Bus Frequency .

2.1-4 Dual Processor or Single Processor Installation

Intel Pentium III processor has termination circuitry for the processor’s
AGTL+ bus. In a two processor platform, each end of the bus must be
properly terminated, whether or not both processor socket locations have
processors installed. The 694DPro has implemented 2 methods to meet
Intel Design guide. Please check onboard AGTL+ bus terminator resistor
support at location (1). If there’s no onboard AGTL+ Bus Terminator
Resistor, users should get PGA 370 bus terminator card (MS-6916) from MSI
to plug into CPU 2.

2.1-5 Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1/CPUFAN2/SYSFAN

These connectors support system cooling fan with + 12V. It supports three
pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connector, always
take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the
+12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your
mainboard has System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a
specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function.

For fans with fan speed sensor, every rotation of the fan will send out 2
pulses. System Hardware Monitor will count and report the fan rotation
speed.

Note: 1. Always consult vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.

2. CPU F AN supports the FAN control. You can install PC Alert

utility . This will automatically control the CPU F AN Speed according
to the actual CPU temperature.

boot up through LAN and ignores any incoming call from the modem.
During Enabled, the system can be boot up through LAN and modem.

This function is for setting date and time for your computer to boot
up. During Disabled, you cannot use this function. During Enabled, choose
the Date and Time Alarm:

system will boot up. Set to 0, to boot
every day.

The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests, which can

be exempted much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can.
When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating
system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operat­ing system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and
performs the service.

When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going

into a power management mode nor awaken it.

3.9 PnP/PCI Configuration Setup

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at

speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its
own special components. This section covers some very technical items
and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make
any changes to the default settings.

PnP OS Installed

When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for
booting (VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP
operating system like Windows® 95 or 98. When set to NO, BIOS will
initialize all the PnP cards. So, for non-PnP operating system (DOS,
Netware®), this option must set to Yes.

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system inter­rupt a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

DMA Resources

This sub menu can let you control the DMA resource.

ENTER P ASSWORD:

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS
memory . Y ou will be asked to confirm the password. T ype the password again
and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not
enter a password.

T o disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

P ASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every
time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from chang­ing any part of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to
request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent
unauthorized use of your computer.

CHAPTER 3 AWARD® BIOS SETUP

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features
Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “Sys­tem”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set

ULTRA100 DRIVER

5.1 Introduction

The Ultra100 controller provides two IDE hard drive connectors that support
Ultra AT A/100 protocols, perfect for such demanding applications as real­time video, multimedia, and high-performance operating systems.

Ultra100’ s two IDE connectors each support a master/slave combination of
any IDE devices, including IDE, EIDE, Fast-A TA, and Ultra-A T A standards.
Devices of different standards can be connected to Ultra100 without
performance degradation, due to the independent programmable timing
registers in the controller’s design.
