VIA Apollo Pro133A PCIset with AGP solution

Y2K Approval

Processor(CPU):

Supports Intel Pentium III/ FC-PGA Celeron/ Coppermine at 66 - 155 MHz external clock for socket 370 x 2.

*According to Intel's specification, both CPU have to be at the same speed and of the same stepping. Although some different stepping CPU may be used in Dual CPU system, it is highly NOT recommended. If you really want to mix up different stepping CPU in Dual CPU system, please refer to the table for details (Intel Dual CPU Table).

Chipset:

VIA Apollo Pro133A PCIset (694X + VT82C596B) with AGP solution.

DRAM Memory:

Supports up to 1 GB of DRAM on board, you can use 168 pins DIMM X 4. PC133/PC150 SDRAM is recommended for 133 MHz or above external clock Coppermine CPU.

Supports Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using parity DRAM memory modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and correct 1-bit memory errors.

Expansion Slot:

Supports 32 bit x 5 PCI Master Bus, 1 x 16 bit ISA Bus and 1 x AGP slot (a jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces configuration confusion when plugging in PCI card/cards).

On Board PCI IDE:

Supports ATAPI (e.g. CD-ROM) devices on both Primary and Secondary IDE interfaces.

4 independent high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting 8 PIO Mode 3/4 and Ultra ATA-66 (2 IDE interfaces even support Ultra ATA-100 devices).

On Board IDE RAID:

RAID 0: Combined 2-4 hard disks into one, offering maximum 200% hard disk read / write speed.

RAID 1: Each data hard disk is protected by one mirroring hard disk, offering 200% data security.

RAID 1+0: RAID 0 + RAID 1, offering maximum 200% speed and data security. (4 hard disks required).

Up to 4 hard disks to create one array of RAID 0.

Provide (RAID 0 and RAID 1) Duplicate function.

Provide Spare Disk for Disk Mirroring.

On Board I/O:

Designed with Winbond 83977EF-AW Super I/O which supports 1 x floppy port, 1 x parallel port (EPP, ECP) and 2 x serial ports (16550 Fast UART). Also supports Japanese "Floppy 3 mode".

I/O Connector:

Supports PS/2 MOUSE and 1 PS/2 Style Keyboard.

USB:

Supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB) on-board. The chip provides the means for connecting PC peripherals such as keyboards, joysticks, telephones and modems.

BIOS:

2Mb Award Plug & Play BIOS with unique "SmartFlash" designed. By simply pressing [Alt] [F2] to execute the built in "Award Flash Program" , which will upgrade to the current BIOS as they are released at http://www.2themax.com under Drivers Page.

Extended Function:

The board is configured by an Easy Setting Single Jumper (E.S.S.J.) to match your CPU clock speed.

Supports exclusive Unified System Diagnostic Manager (USDM) software to offer motherboard various status on Windows 95/98 or Win 98SE.

Built-in WOL (Wake On LAN) Connector.

Built-in SB-LINK Header.

Utilizes a Lithium battery which provides environmental protection and longer battery life.

Power Management:

Software power-down when using Windows 95/98/2000.

Supports ring-in feature (remote power-on through external modem which allows system system to be turned on remotely.

Resume by alarm which allows your system to turn on at a pre-selected time.

Power Loss Recovery which in the event of a power interruption, your system will automatically turn itself back on without user attention.

Supports CPU Hardware sleep and System Management Mode (SMM).

Supports Hot Key which features any key or password Keyboard Power-On function (KBPO).

Supports the CPU, PWR and Chassis fan Auto Stop in sleep mode.

Supports the System Power LED (Panel) blinks in the sleep mode.

Power Connector:

Built-in ATX 20 pins power supply connector.

Form Factor:

305mm x 245mm ATX size.
