3.1 Processor
The MI5VP4 motherboard is designed to take Socket 7 processors with
system speed of 120MHz to 500MHz at a bus speed of 60MHz to
124MHz. To be able to use the your processor with the motherboard
properly, DIP switches on the motherboard should be configured
correctly. Two DIP switches are available to con f ig u re th e CPU voltage,
bus speed (front side bus), and bus speed multiplier. Please refer to the
following chapte r on how to configure the CPU frequency.
3.2 L2 Cache
The L2 cache is integrated in the processor.
3.3 Main Memory
The MI5VP4 motherboard supports three 168-pin DIMM (Dual In-line
Memory Module) sockets to form a mem ory configuration from 32MB to
384MB. DIMM module s can be 32MB, 64M and128MB in SDRAM. In
populating the DIMM sock ets, any socket can be popul ated first. R efer to
the following table on how to do the memory configuration.
: Use SDRAM modules with PC100 specification when running
NOTE
100MHz CPU bus speed. W ith 66MH z CPU bus s peed, SDRAM
modules with PC66 or PC100 specification can be used.

3.4 BIOS
The BIOS on the MI5VP4 motherboard provides the standard BIOS
functions plus the following additional features:
1. ISA Plug and Play (PnP ) Extension
Unlike PCI cards that are Plug and Play, ISA cards require setting
jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts. To make a computer system
PnP, an ISA PnP standard is established and supported by new
operating systems, such as Windows 95. Under Windows 95, the
motherboard BIOS must have an ISA PnP extension to support new
ISA PnP cards.
2. Power Management
The power management fea ture provides power sa vings by slowing
down the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the
HDD spindle motor. The BIOS fully conforms to ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface) specification.
3.5 Onboard VGA
The Apollo MVP4 Graphics Controller is a highly integrated display
control device that incorporates a 64-bit 3D/2D graphic eng ine and video
accelerator with advanced DVD video capability. It provides a flexible
and high performance solution for graphics and video playback
acceleration for various color depth and resolution modes. It supports a
full AGP implemen tation that include direct access of the sy stem mem ory
by the 3D engine to provide increased texture memory.
3.6 Hardware Monitoring
The VIA VT82C686A chip has a built-in hardware status monitoring
function that monitor several hardware parameters including power
supply voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures, which are very important
for a high-end computer system to work stable and properly. This
function is used together w ith Sy stem Monitor utility or the optional Intel
LANDesk Client Manager utility.
3.7 Onboard Multi-I/O
The multi-I/O function is built in the VIA VT82C686A chip supports a
keyboard controller, two serial ports, one parallel port, one floppy
controller and one IrDA port. The serial ports are 16550 UART
compatible. The parallel port features high-speed EPP/ECP mode. The
floppy controller supports up to 2.88MB format.

Chapter 3 Hardware Descriptio n
3.8 Interrupt Request (IRQ) Lines
There is a total of 15 IRQ lines available on the motherboard. Peripheral
devices use an interrupt request to notify the CPU for the service
required. The following table sh ows the IRQ lines u sed by the devices on
the motherboard:
Level Function
IRQ0 System Timer Output
IRQ1 Keyboard
IRQ2 Interrupt Cascade
IRQ8 Real Time Clock
IRQ9 Software Redirected to Int 0Ah
IRQ10 Reserved
IRQ11 Reserved
IRQ12 Reserved
IRQ13 Co-Processor
IRQ14 Primary IDE
IRQ15 Secondary IDE
IRQ3 Interrupt
IRQ4 Serial Port #1
IRQ5 Interrupt
IRQ6 Floppy Disk Controller
IRQ7 Parallel Port #1
3.9 Onboard PCI-IDE
The VIA VT82C686A chip built-in’s PCI-IDE controller supports PIO
mode 3/4 and bus mastering Ultra DMA 33/66. The peak t ran s f er rat e of
PIO mode 3/4 can be as high as 17MB/sec. Using HDDs that support
Ultra DMA66, the peak transfer rate can reach 66MB/sec. There are two
IDE connectors - primary IDE and s econdary IDE. With two devices per
connector, up to four IDE devices can be supported.
3.10 DMA Channels
There are seven DMA channels available on the motherboard; only
DMA2 is used by the fl oppy con troller. In t he case that ECP mode on the
parallel port is utilized, DMA1 or DMA3 will be used.

6.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel Celeron processors. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk
drives, serial and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password
protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the
chipset controlling the entire system.
6.2 BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system conf ig u ration s an d s ettin g s. The BIOS ROM of th e system stores
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is
immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you
to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing th e <Del> key,
POST(Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will
appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and
<Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup
functions and exit choices.

Primary HDDs / Secondary HDDs
The onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary
channels for connecting up to four ID E hard disks o r other IDE devices.
Each channel can support up to two hard disks; the first is the “Master”
and the second is the “Slave”.
To enter the specifications for a hard disk drive, you must select first a
“Type”. There are 45 predefined types an d 4 u s er def in able types are for
Enhanced IDE BIOS. Type 1 to 45 are predefined. Type “User” is
user-definable. For the Primary Master/Slave as well as Secondary
Master/Slave, you can select “Auto” under the TYPE and MODE fields.
This will enable auto detection of your IDE drives and CD-ROM drive
during POST.
Press <PgUp>/<PgDn> to select a numbered hard disk type or type the
number and press the <Enter> key. The hard disk will not work properly
if you enter incorrect information for this field. If your hard disk drive

Virus Warning
This item protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk
against accidental modifications. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will
halt the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can
either allow the operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to
locate and remove the problem.
Many disk diagnostic programs, which attempt to access the
:
NOTE
boot sector table, can cause the virus warning. If you will run
such a program, disable the Virus Warning feature.
CPU Internal Cache / External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have
additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the
system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to
enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By
default, these items are

causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond
to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service. The default
value is
