3.1 Processor and CPU Voltage
The TI5VGA is designed to take a Socket 7-based processor with a bus
speed of 66, 75, 83 and 100 MHz. The internal clock of the CPU can be
multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 and 5.5 of the bus clock, the CPU
frequency can be 100 to 550MHz.
The onboard CPU voltage regulator provides support for CPUs Vcore
which require voltage other than 3.3V such as 2.8V, and/or power
consumption higher t han 10 watts.
3.2 L2 Cache Memory
The TI5VGA supports 1MB P.B. (Pipelin ed Burst) Sync h ron ou s C ach e.
2MB is optional. The P.B. Synchronous Cache boosts the system’s
performance, 10% higher than regular Asynchronous Cache.
3.3 Main Memory
The TI5VGA motherboard support s t h ree 168- pi n DIMMs (D u al In - li n e
Memory Module) sockets. DIMM modules can be 8MB, 16MB, 32MB,
64MB and 128MB in EDO DRAM or SDRAM type. DIMM1, DIMM2
or DIMM3 bank can be populated first. Examples are shown in the

3.4 BIOS
The BIOS on the TI5VGA motherboard provides the standard BIOS
functions plus the following additional features:
1. DMI (Desktop Management Interface)
The motherboard supports D MI to en abl e computer syst em management
in an enterprise.
2. ISA Plug and Play (PnP ) Extension
Unlike PCI cards which 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 OSes, such as
Windows 95. Un der Window s 95, th e mot herboard BIOS mu st have ISA
PnP extension to support the new ISA PnP cards.
3. Power Management
The power management feature provides power savings by slowing down
the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the HDD
spindle motor.
3.5 Onboard PCI EIDE
The PCI EIDE controller is part of the VT82686A chipset. It supports
PIO mode 3/4 and bus ma stering . The peak tran sfer rate of PIO m ode 3/4
can be as hig h as 17MB/sec. Usin g HDDs that su pport bus m astering , the
peak transfer rate can reach 22MB/sec. There are two IDE connectors,
primary IDE and secondary IDE. With two devices per connector, up to
four IDE drives are supported. The VT82686A also supports UDMA33
and UDMA66, a new “synchronous DMA” protocol for faster data
transfers.
3.6 Onboard Multi-I/O
The multi-I/O is integrated in the VIA chipset that supports two 16550
UART-compatible serial ports, one high speed EPP/ECP parallel port
and one floppy controller. The floppy controller supports 2.88MB
format. The I/O port addresses of the serial and parallel ports are
programmable via BIOS set-up.

3.7 Onboard Hardware Monitoring
The hardware monitoring function is integrated in the VIA chipset. It
monitors the system temperature, voltages and fan speeds. With the use
of a system management utility, the hardware status can be checked and
warning message can be displayed when there is a problem.
3.8 I/O Port Address Map
Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port
addresses which also becomes the identity of the device. There are a total

3.9 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 used, DMA1 or DMA3 will be used.
3.10 Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ)
There are a total of 15 IRQ lines available on the m otherboard. Peripheral
devices use interrupt request lines to notify the CPU for the service
required. The following table shows the IRQ used by the devices on the
motherboard.

The TI5VGA-100MHz, on the other hand, supports VIA’s MVP3
chipset and has a maximum CPU bus speed of 100MHz. Please note the
correct settings of both the CPU and SDRAM clocks.
In the case your motherboard TI5VGA-100MHz has a processor
supporting 100MHz CPU clock (such as AMD K6-2/300) and your
DIMM module is PC100 compliant, the SDRAM clock can be set to
100MHz. Otherwise, set the SDRAM clock at 66MHz.
For the locations of the jumpers, refer to Figure 2 on the following page.

Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration
6.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a
standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical
low-level support for standard devices 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 e nt ries, <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.

NOTE: After making and saving system changes with Setup, you find
that your computer cannot boot, the Award BIOS supports an
override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its
default.
We strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to
the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen
by both Award and your system manufacturer to provide the
absolute maximum performance and reliability.

“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system
clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a
working system , you will not need to select this option. You will need to
run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you cha nge your system

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 predef in ed types and 4 user defin 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
type is not matched or listed, you can use Type User to define your own

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.
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the
boot sector table can cause the virus warning. If you will run
such a program, disable the Virus Warning feature.
