Product Overview
1.1.
Product OverviewProduct Overview
The VIA VB7008 Mini-ITX mainboard is an entry-level native x86 mainboard
designed mainly for embedded and thin client applications. It can also be
used for various domain applications such as desktop PC, industrial PC, etc.
The mainboard is based on the VIA VX900 MSP (Media System Processor)
chipset that features the VIA Chrome9™ HD DX9 with 2D/3D graphics and
video accelerators for rich digital media performance.
The VIA VB7008 includes a secure and power efficient VIA C7
®
NanoBGA2 processor. The VIA C7
Padlock Security Engine, VIA StepAhead™ Technology Suite, VIA PowerSaver,
and VIA CoolStream™ technology.
The VIA VB7008 has one 1066 MHz DDR3 DIMM slot that support up to 4 GB
memory size. The VIA VB7008 provides support for high fidelity audio with its
included VIA VT1708S High Definition Audio codec. In addition it supports
two SATA 3Gb/s storage devices.

-D 1.6 GHz
The VIA VB7008 is compatible with a full range of Mini-ITX chassis as well as
FlexATX and MicroATX enclosures and power supplies. The VIA VB7008 is
fully compatible with Microsoft® and Linux operating systems.
1.1. Key Features and Benefits
1.1.1. VIA C7
The VIA C7®-D NanoBGA2 is a 32-bit processor in x86 platform using a 90
nanometer process technology. It is the world’s first Carbon Free processor
and perfectly fit for embedded system applications. Packed into an ultra
compact NanoBGA2 package (measuring 21mm x 21mm), it delivers an
energy-efficient yet powerful performance, with cool and quiet operation.

1.1.2. VIA VX900 MSP Chipset
The VIA VX900 media system processor is designed to enable high quality
digital video streaming and DVD playback. The VIA VX900 features VIA
Chrome9™ HD DX9 with 2D/3D graphics and video accelerators, DDR3 1066
MHz support, motion compensation and dual display support to ensure a rich
overall entertainment experience.
1.1.3. Modular Expansion Options
The VIA VB7008 ensures long-term usability with its support for industry
standard expansion options. Its support for legacy PCI expansion cards helps
to smooth and reduce the costs of transitioning to newer expansion
technologies. The VIA VB7008 enables companies to slowly roll out upgrades
as necessary instead of having to replace everything all at once. This ensures
that companies using the VB7008 obtain the maximum benefits from its past
investments in PCI expansion cards.

5.1. Installing into a Chassis
The VB7008 can be fitted into any chassis that has the mounting holes for
compatible with the standard Mini-ITX mounting hole locations. Additionally,
the chassis must meet the minimum height requirements for specified areas of
the mainboard. If a riser card module is being used, the chassis will need to
accommodate the additional space requirements.
5.1.1. Suggested minimum chassis dimensions
The figure below shows the suggested minimum space requirements that a
chassis should have in order to work well with the VB7008.

For the side that is close to the PCI slot, the buffer should be at least 100.00
mm if a riser card module will be used.
5.1.2. Suggested minimum chassis height
The figure below shows the suggested minimum height requirements for the
internal space of the chassis. It is not necessary for the internal ceiling to be
evenly flat. What is required is that the internal ceiling height must be strictly
observed for each section that is highlighted. The highest part of the ceiling
will be above the PCI slot.

Setup is run. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of
your system configuration.
There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor password and a
user password. When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS Setup program
can be accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed. When a user
password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed but the BIOS
settings cannot be changed.
To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length) and
press <Enter>
<Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously set
<Enter><Enter>

to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>
To disable the password, press <Enter>
<Enter> when prompted to enter a new

Additionally, when a password is enabled, the BIOS can be set to request the
password each time the system is booted. This would prevent unauthorized
use of the system. See “Security Option” in the “Advanced BIOS Features”
section for more details.
