Introduction

The MS-6198 Micro ATX VA3 mainboard is a high-performance computer mainboard based on VIA® VT82C694X chipset. The MS-6198 is designed for the Intel® Celeron

or Coppermine (FC-PGA) processor for

inexpensive business/personal desktop markets.

The Apollo Pro133A (VT82C694X) is a Socket-370 system logic north bridge with the addition of 133 MHz capability for both the CPU and SDRAM interfaces. Apollo Pro133A may be used to implement both desktop and notebook personal computer systems from 66MHz to 133MHz based on Socket-370 (Intel Celeron processors). The primary features of the Apollo Pro133A-North Bridge are: Slot-1 or Socket-370 CPU (Front Side Bus) Interface (66 / 100 / 133MHz), SDRAM 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

Hardware Installation

This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. During installation, be careful when handling the components and follow the installation procedures properly. For some components, installing it in a wrong orientation will cause it to become unstable.

Remember to use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static electricity may damage the components.

• CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

If the CPU Core/Bus ratio is already fixed, adjusting the SW1 will not change the CPU Core/Bus ratio. If the Core/Bus ratio is not fixed by the CPU, then you can adjust the SWI to change the Core/Bus ratio.

If CPU Clock = 66MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 3.5

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

= 66MHz x 3.5 = 233MHz

DIMM1

DIMM2

••

• Memory Population Rules

1. Supports only SDRAM DIMM.

2. To operate properly, at least one 168-pin DIMM module must be installed.

3. This mainboard supports Table Free memory, so memory can be installed on DIMM1 or DIMM 2 in any order.

4. Supports 3.3 volt DIMM.

How to install a DIMM Module

1. The DIMM slot has 2 Notch Keys VOLT and DRAM, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in.

3. The plastic clip at the side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or 2ersonal +omputer 1nterconnect, 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.

Set Supervisor/User Password

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences are:

Supervisor password : Can enter and change the options of the setup

menus.

User password: Can only enter but do not have the right to change

the options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

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. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To 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.

PASSWORD 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.
