2-2. Installing Memory
ENDAT-7500M/7515M system board offers one 240 pin DDRII SDRAM socket
supports up to 1GB memory and the s p ee d can be 400 and 533 MHz.
2-3. Shared VG A Memory
ENDAT-7500M/7515M is using built-in AGP VGA controller with S3 Graphics
UniChrome Pro IGP graphi cs core up to 64MB of system memory . The am ount o f
video memory on motherboard determines the number of colors and the video
graphic resolution.
2-4. Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards
Some expansion cards require an IRQ (Interrupt request vector) to operate.
Generally, each IRQ must be exclusively assigned to specific use. In a standard
design, there are 16 IRQ av ailable with 11 of them already in used by other part of
the system.
Some PCI expansion cards need IRQ; any remaining IRQ could be assigned to
PCI Bus. Microsoft's Diagnostic (MSD.EXE) utility included in the Windows
directory can be used to see their map. Client s can n ot have more th an one devic e
apply the same IRQ in the system or it will cause the syste m hang up, cras h, and
unexpected results. To simplify the process, this motherboard complies with the
Plug and Play (PnP) specifications, which was developed to allow automatic
system configuration. W henever a PnP-compliant card is added to the system,
PnP card and IRQs will automatically assigned if available. The PCI and PnP
configuration in the BIOS setup utility can indicate which IRQs have being used by
Legacy cards.
In the PCI Bus design, the BIOS is automatically assigned an IRQ to a PCI slot that
has a card in it which requires an IRQ. To install PCI card s via riser car d, y ou need
to set the correct "ADSEL" and "INT" (interrupt) assignment on the jumper of riser
card.

Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a special design for system monito ring to secure the
system work normally. WDT has an independent clock from the oscillator and could
set time and clear/refresh WDT counter function. When time is up, WDT will send
hardware RESET signal to reset system.

4-1. VGA Feature
ENDAT-7500M/7515M provides integrated S3 Graphics UniChrome™ Pro IGP,
featuring a 2D/3D AGP8X graphics core with integrated MPEG-2 decoding for
smooth DVD and digital video playback, th e VIA C7® processing platform also
features support for high bandwidth DDRII 400/533 memory, motion compensation
and DuoView for the latest multiple format flat panel display devices.
With an internal data flow equivalent to what is ava ilable to the latest AGP 8X
graphics cards, Unichrome Pro IGP has separate 128-bit data path between the
North Bridge for pixel data flow and texture/command access. Separate 128-bit 2D
and 3D graphics engines ensure optimal performance for all multimedia,
entertainment, and producti vi ty applications.
Unichrome Pro IGP includes native supp ort for the most popular dig ital video a nd
audio playback through hardware MPEG-2 acceleration and acclaimed VIA Vinyl
Audio suite, delivering spe ctacular playback for entertainm ent devices.
The on-board Graphics Controller supports a full AGP imple mentation internally to
remain compatible with existing software and programming models. However,
since the engine is int egrated, it enjoys a higher band width and lower latency than
is possible with discrete solutions .
The controller of ENDAT-7500M/7515M supports 1 types of display: CRT only.

options of one or dual LAN solution, and also the LAN chip option of VIA VT6103
solution. It is highly integrated and requires no “glue” logic external memory on
board. It runs in the bus master mode and directly sending/receiving Ethernet
packet to/from memory. The On-board LAN adapter can directly fetch the system
CPU. Also, it can transfer data Directly between I/O devices and system memory
in the 32-bit bus master mode that provides low CPU utilization.

version 2.1 and transmits data on the network at 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps. It also
operates in full-duplex mode that double s the net work speed up to 20/20 0 Mbps
when working with Fast Switching Hub. Built-in one RJ-45 port for connection
of 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet or 10Base-T Ethernet network, and automatically
senses the connection type.
5-1. Features
• Full compliancy with PCI Rev. 2.1
• Complies with the Ethernet/IEEE 80 2.3u 100 Base-TX and 10 Bas e-T industr y
standard
• Supports full-duplex operations, thus doubling the network speed up to
20Mbps on 10 Base-T Etherne t or 200Mbps on 100 Ba se-TX Fast Ethernet
when setting in full duplex mode
• Two LED indicators to report network status
• One RJ-45 connector with Auto-sense cable type of 10 or 100Mbps network
operation
• Supports PCI clock speed up to 33MHz, capable of zero wait states
• Supports Remote Boot ROM by system BIOS
• Provides a comprehensive setup program for displaying the adapter
configuration and includes dia gn ostic on board or network tests
• Complete drive rs for Novell, Windows NT and W indows 95/98 Packet driver

5-3. Connecting 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Network
The system board provides an RJ-45 port for connection to 100Base-TX Fast
Ethernet or 10Base-T Ethernet Network with a single connection over unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP). The adapter automatically operates at 10Mbps or 100Mbps
when the appropriate 10/100Base hub is con nected.
To connect the adapter to 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Network, you need a
twisted-pair Category 5 cable with RJ-45 modular jacks at both ends. This cable
can have a maximum length of 300 feet (100 meters).
5-4. Connecting 10Base-T Ethernet Network
To connect the adapter to a 10Base-T Ethernet Network, you need a twisted-pair
Category 3, 4 or 5 cables with RJ-45 modular jacks at both ends. This cable can
have a maximum length of 300 feet (100 meters).
5-5. 10MBase/100MBase Installation Notice
• 100Mbps network must be shielded twisted-pair (STP) or Category 5
unshielded twisted-pair cable. Do not use a Category 3 or 4 cable for
100Mbps-network operation, it could cause data loss. Category 3 or 4 cable
is good for 10Mbps network only.
• Category 5 cable is also good for 10Mbps operation. Use UTP Category 5
cable for the versatility to op erate the ne twork at eithe r 10 0Mbps o r 10 Mbps
speed without changing cable.
• Two pairs of wiring are required.
• Depending on building codes, different insulation materials may be required.
Plenum-rated or TEFLON-coated wiring maybe required in some areas
where fireproofing is required.
• The wire gauge should be between 18 and 26 AWG (Most telephone
installations use 24-gauge wiring).
• UTP cable should meet the following requirements:
1. Solid copper
2. Nominal capacitance: less than 16pF/ft
3. Nominal impedance: 100 ohms
4. Nominal attenuation: less than 11.5db

Automatic Selection of the Media Type
While the driver installs, it automatically detects the media type based on the type
of cable connected. Once you change the cable type, you must reinstall the driver
to execute auto-detect again.
If the driver cannot detect which cable is connected or whether a cable is
connected, look at cabling network driver (Ex. Modify net.cfg file
parameters—force line speed = 10 or 100).
10/100 Auto – Negotiation (N-W a y)
Depending on the hub or connect ed device , the LAN adap ter can a utomatically run
at the appropriate speed, by using N-way, a feature that complies with the
IEEE802.3 standard. It also works wit h any of the other IEEE-compliant products.
5-6. Remote BOOT ROM function
This function is available with the BIOS programming for indicated operation
system. The remote boot fu nction allows the computer to b oot up over the n etwork,
instead of using the local o perating sy stem device. Thi s enables the system t o be a
diskless workstation environment .
5-7. LED Indicators
The system board comes with two LED indicators on the edge of the motherboard
that indicates the network system status. If you experience any problems with the
adapter, first make sure the appropriate driver is loaded, the proper cable is
connected to the RJ-45 port and the hub complies with the adapter specification,
such as 10Mbps 10Base-T or 100Mbps 100B a st-TX. Finally, recheck the LEDs.
FUDUP (Full Duplex) Indicator
When indicator is ON, it indicates Full-duple x mode: otherwise, it is OFF. The
adapter supports full duplex at 10 or 100Mbps. If the switch-hub supports the
N-way feature and full duplex, the system will automatically runs in full duplex
mode.
Tx/Rx (Transmit/Receiver) Indicator
This indicator flashes to display that there is network activity – indicating
transmission or reception data from the network.
