1-11 SYSTEM MEMORY CONFIGURATION

his VIA 693Apollo Pro-Plus motherboard supports 168 pin DIMM of

4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB or 64MB or 128MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 768MB (SDRAM). VIA 693 Apollo Pro-Plus chipsets provide “ Table Free ” function. It means that users can install DRAM with any configuration and in any bank, and that is why the DRAM table is not needed but do remember that the DRAM must be 3. 3V type.

2-4 DRIVER INSTALLATION

Onboard AC’97 Audio Codec Controller Driver Installation for Windows95 / Windows98:

1. Go to CD-ROM driver, we suggest the CD-ROM title is D:\.

2. Find and run D:\DRIVER\AUDIO\VIA AC97\SETUP.EXE

3. Then the setup program will detect your O.S. to install relative files into your system.

4. Reboot your computer.

NOTE 1: IF USER WANTS TO USE EXTERNAL SOUND CARD, USER

MUST RUN BIOS PROGRAM TO DISABLE “Onchip Sound” option in the “Chipset Feature Setup” and “Onboard Legacy Audio” option in the “Integrated Peripherals”.

NOTE 2: UNDER WINDOWS95, USER MUST INSTALL Direct X FOR

AGP ENVIRONMENT.

NOTE 3: User can also install 4in1 Driver from CD instead of the

following drivers. (For avoid CD-ROM compalibility issue, user can ignore the IDE driver)

1. Put the CD into your CD-ROM.

2. There appears a welcome window.

(If doesn’t, it means that your CD-ROM auto-run function does not enable, but you still can browser the CD via Windows Explorer and change the directory to where your CD-ROM directory is. Then run the

autorun.exe)

3. Select “Install Driver”.

4. Select “Install VIA Chipsets Driver”.

5. Select “Install 4in1 Driver”.

6. Then the program will automatically setup all drivers your

system needs.

7. Finally, the system will re-boot.

NOTE: AFTER INSTALLED “ 4in1 Driver”, USER DOESN’T

NEED TO INSTALL ANY OTHER PROGRAM IN PART 2.

PART 1:

65KV

VIA Patch Code Installation

Windows95 / Windows98:

1. Go to CD-ROM driver, we suggest the CD-ROM title is D:\.

2. Find and run D:\Patch\Via\patch9x\Setup\Setup.exe

3. Select “Install VIA Chipset Functions’ Registry”, then it will automati-

cally install this program.

NOTE: This program should be installed before any other VIA’s

drivers.

VIA AGP VxD Driver for Windows9x Installation

Windows95 / Windows98:

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

3-1: INTRODUCE THE BIOS.

IOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It is sometimes call the

ROM BIOS because it is stored in a Read-Only Memory (ROM) chip on the motherboard. BISO is the first program to run when you turn on your computer. It performs the followin functions:

• initializing and testing hardware in your computer (a process called “POST”, for Power On Self Test)

• loading and running your operating system.

• managing SETUP for making changes in your computer.

• helping your operating system and application programs to manage your PC hardware by means of a set of routiness called BIOS RunTime Services.

3-2: WHAT IS SETUP

ETUP is an interactive BIOS program that you need to run when:

• Changing the hardware on your system. (for example: installing a new Hard Disk, etc.)

• Modifying the behavior of your computer. (for example: changing the system time or date, or turning special features on or off, etc.)

• Enhancing your computer’s behavior. (for example: speeding up performance by turning on shadowing or caching.)

65KV

3-3: HOW TO RUN SETUP

ne way of running SETUP is to press a special function key or key combination during POST, before the operating system is loaded.

During POST, the BIOS usually displays a prompt such as:

Press DEL to enter SETUP

3-4: WHAT IS THE CMOS

MOS is a special kind of memory maintained by a battery after you

turn your computer off. The BIOS uses CMOS to store the settings you selected in SETUP. The CMOS also maintains the intermal clock. Every time you turn on your computer, the BIOS looks in CMOS for the settings you selected and configures your computer accordingly. If the battery charge runs too low, the CMOS content will be lost and POST will issue a “CMOS invalid” or “CMOS checksum invalid” message. If this happens, you may have to replace the battery. After the battery is replaced, the proper settings will need to be stored in SETUP.

3-5: WHAT IS POST

OST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. It is a traditional name

for the routines that the BIOS uses to test and initializes the devices on your system when the PC is powered on. Its meanings has grown to include anything the BIOS does before the operating system is started.

Each of POST routines is assigned a POST code, an unique number

which is sent to I/O port 080h before the routine is executed.

3-15 SUPERVISOR / USER PASSWORD

hese two options allow you to set your system passwords.

Normally, the supervisor has a higher ability to change the CMOS setup option than the user. The way to set up the passwords for both supervisor and user are as follows:

1. Choose “CHANGE PASSWORD” from the Main Menu and press <Enter>. The following message appears:

Enter Password:

2. The first time you run this option, enter your own password up to 8 characters and press <Enter>. The screen doesn’t display the entered characters.

3. After you entered the password, the following message appears prompting you to confirm the password:

Confirm Password:

4. Enter the same password “exactly” as you just typed again to confirm the password and press <Enter>.

5. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the password.

6. If you need to delete the password you entered before, choose the Supervisor Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password that you had before.

7. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the option you did, otherwise the old password will still be there the next time you turn your machine on.

8. Press <ESC> to exit to the Main Menu.

Note: If you forget or lose the password, the only way to

access the system is to clear the CMOS RAM by setting JBA T1. All setup information will be lost and back to default seting. You need to run the BIOS setup program and re-define all settings again.

If you are using Windows 98 SE, you do not need to install the 4-in-1 driver as the IRQ Routing Driver and the ACPI Registry are already incorporated into the operating system. Users with Windows 98 SE may update the IDE Busmaster and AGP drivers by installing them individually.

1. Put the CD into your CD-ROM.

2. There appears a welcome window.

3. Select “Install Driver”.

4. Select “Install VIA Chipsets Driver”.

5. Select “Install 4in1 Driver”.

2. Find and run D:\Patch\Via\Virq9x\Setup.exe

Note: Before install Windows98, user must enable two functions for this miniport driver

in the BIOS menu, one is “OnChip USB” in the “Chipset Features Setup” and another is “Assign IRQ for USB” in the “PNP/PCI Configuration Setup”.
