2-3 SYSTEM MEMORY CONFIGURATION
• This VIA 693 Apollo Pro Plus motherboard supports 168pin DIMM of 4MB,
8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB to form a memory size
between 8MB up to 768MB (SDRAM). VIA 693 Apollo Pro Plus chipset
provides “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. For 100 /
133MHz CPU environment, the SDRAM specification must comply with
PC-100 / PC-133 spec.
2-4 JUMPER DEFINITIONS
• The figure below shows the location of the motherboard’s jumper blocks.
CAUTION
• Do not move the jumper with the power on. Always turn off the power and unplug
the power cord from the computer before changing the jumper. Otherwise, the
motherboard could be damaged.
CFAN1/SFAN1/PFAN1: ONBOARD FAN (12V)
CPU FAN
SYSTEM FAN
CHASSIS FANPFAN1
Those connectors support processor/system/chassis cooling fan with +12V. Those
support three pin head connector. When connecting the wire to FAN connectors,
user should give attention 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
motherboard has 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.
NOTE 2: CPU FAN supports the FAN control. You can install PC

FAN speed according to the actual CPU temperature.

2-5.3 ATX POWER SUPPLY CONNECTOR
• This connector connects to an ATX power supply. The plug from the power
supply only inserts in an orientation because of the different hole sizes.
Find the proper orientation and push down firmly making sure that all pins
are aligned.
• Reminding that your power supply should support at least 10mA on the 5V
standby voltage. It may cause an difficulty to power on the system if the
power supply cant support the load.
• For Wake On LAN function, the power supply should support at least
720mA current.

• Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may require IRQs. System IRQs are
available to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first, then any remaining IRQs are available to PCI cards. Currently, there are two types of ISA
cards.
• The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as “Legacy” ISA
card, requires that you configurate the card’s jumpers manually and then
install it in any available slot on the ISA bus. To see a map of your used and
free IRQs in Windows 98, the Control Panel in My Computer, contains a
System icon, which gives you a Device Manager tab. Double-Clicking on a
specific hardware device gives you a Resources tab which shows the Inter-
rupt number and address. Double-Clicking Computers to see all the inter-
rupts and addresses for your system. Make sure that no two devices use
the same IRQ or your computer will experience problems when those two
devices are in use at the same time.

These two options allow you to choose the mode for
the different timers. The Standby Mode turns off the
VGA monitor, and the Suspend Mode turns off the
CPU and saves the energy of the system.
HDD Power Down Time is adjustable from 1 to 15 minutes. When the
set time has elapsed, the BIOS sends a command to
the HDD to power down, which turns off the motor.

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.

user. The way to set up the passwords for both Supervisor and User are
as follows:
1. Choose “Change Password” in the Main Menu and press <Enter>. The
following message appears:
“Enter Password : “
2. The first time you run this option, enter your password up to 8 characters
and press <Enter>. The screen does not display the enterd characters.
3. After you enter 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 ou entered before, choose the Super-
visor 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, other-
wise the old password will still be there the next time you turn your system
on.
8. Press <Enter> 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. All setup informations will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup program again.
