CPU

The VIA C3 E-Series Processor

The VIA EPIA-SP Mini-ITX mainboard includes an embedded VIA C3 or Eden

Processor. The VIA C3 Processor provides ultra-low power consumption and advanced thermal dissipation properties. The VIA C3 Processor requires heatsink and a CPU fan to provide sufficient cooling. Ensure that the CPU fan is correctly installed as shown.

10

Installation

The VIA Eden Processor

Providing ultra-low power consumption and advanced thermal dissipation properties, the VIA Eden Processor features a fanless design. The VIA Eden

Processor requires only a heatsink as shown.

WARNING: This mainboard is not designed to support overclocking.

Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee the damage or risks caused by

inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.

Chapter 2

CPU Fan and System Fan: CPUFAN and SYSFAN

The CPUFAN (CPU fan) and SYSFAN (system fan) run on +12V and maintain system cooling. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always be aware that the red wire is the Positive and should be connected to the +12V.

The black wire is Ground and should always be connected to GND. The CPU system and power fan connectors have sensors to support fan monitoring except for +12V_CONN.

DDR400/333/266 SDRAM memory modules and supports the memory size up to 1GB.

DDR SDRAM Module Installation Procedures

• Locate the DIMM sockets in the motherboard.

DIMM1

14

Installation

• Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.

• Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.

• Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

CLEAR_CMOS

38

Installation

Clear CMOS: CLEAR_CMOS

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.

You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS

1 1 that include system setup information such as system passwords. 1-2: Normal (Default)

2-3: Clear CMOS

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins

1-2.

4. Replace the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

DRAM Clock

The chipset supports synchronous and asynchronous mode between host clock and DRAM clock frequency.

Settings: [66 MHz, 100 MHz, 133 MHz, 166 MHz, By SPD]

DRAM Timing

The value in this field depends on the memory modules installed in your system. Changing the value from the factory setting is not recommended unless you install new memory that has a different performance rating than the original modules.

Settings: [Manual, By SPD]

SDRAM CAS Latency

This item is for setting the speed it takes for the memory module to complete a command. Generally, a lower setting will improve the performance of your system. However, if your system becomes less stable, you should change it to a higher setting. This field is only available when

“DRAM Timing” is set to “Manual”.

Settings: [2, 2.5]

73

Chapter 3

Bank Interleave

This item is for setting the interleave mode of the SDRAM interface.

Interleaving allows banks of SDRAM to alternate their refresh and access cycles. One bank will undergo its refresh cycle while another is being accessed. This improves performance of the SDRAM by masking the refresh time of each bank. This field is only available when “DRAM Timing” is set to

“Manual”.

Settings: [Disabled, 2 Bank, 4 Bank]

Precharge to Active (Trp)

This field is for setting the length of time it takes to precharge a row in the memory module before the row becomes active. Longer values are safer but may not offer the best performance. This field is only available when

“DRAM Timing” is set to “Manual”.

Settings: [2T, 3T]

Active to Precharge (Tras)

This field is for setting the length of time it a row stays active before precharging. Longer values are safer but may not offer the best performance. This field is only available when “DRAM Timing” is set to

“Manual”.

Settings: [5T, 6T]

Active to CMD (Trcd)

This field is only available when “DRAM Timing” is set to “Manual”.

Settings: [2T, 3T]

REF to ACT / REF to REF (Trfc)

This field is only available when “DRAM Timing” is set to “Manual”.

Settings: [12T, 13T, 14T, 15T]

74

ACT(0) to ACT(1) (TRRD)

This field is only available when “DRAM Timing” is set to “Manual”.

Settings: [2T, 3T]

DRAM Command Rate

This field is for setting how fast the memory controller sends out commands.

Lower setting equals faster command rate.

NOTE: Some memory modules may not be able to handle lower settings.

Settings: [2T Command, 1T Command]

VIA C3 Clock Ratio

This setting specifies the clock frequency of CPU host bus (FSB) and provides a method for end-users to overclock the processor accordingly. If the CPU clock is set over the tolerance limit of the CPU, the mainboard will show the following message “IMPROPER OVERCLOCKING SETTING, SYSTEM

IS RESETTING CPU CLOCK TO DEFAULT. Please re-enter BIOS Setup and remember to save before quit!”. This feature protects the CPU from damage due to overclocking.

Settings: [Default, x 5, x 5.5, x 6, x 6.5, x 7, x 7.5, x 8, x 9, x 10, x 8.5, x

9.5, x 10.5]

Spread Spectrum

When the mainboard's clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread

Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves.

Change / Set / Disable Password

This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a password has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever BIOS

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>. The password typed now will clear any previously set password from CMOS memory. The new password will need to be reentered to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>.

To disable the password, press <Enter> when prompted to enter a new password. A message will show up to confirm disabling the password. To cancel the process press <Esc>.

78

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.

Getting Started

The mainboard includes a Driver Utilities CD that contains the driver utilities and software for enhancing the performance of the mainboard. If the CD is missing from the retail box, please contact the local dealer for the CD.

Note: The driver utilities and software are updated from time to time. The latest updated versions are available at http://www.viaembedded.com./

84

Running the Driver Utilities CD

To start using the CD, insert the CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

The CD should run automatically after closing the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. The driver utilities and software menu screen should then appear on the screen. If the CD does not run automatically, click on the “Start” button and select “Run…” Then type: "D:\Setup.exe".

NOTE: D: might not be the drive letter of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in your system.
