FCC & DOC COMPLIANCE

FederalCommunicationsCommissionStatement

This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference, and

• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa-

tion. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-

ence by one or more of the following measures:

• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING: The use of shielded cables for connection of the monitor to the graph-

ics card is required to assure compliance with FCC regulations. Changes or modifi-

cations to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

Features of the VX97 Motherboard

The VX97 is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants a great many

features in a small package. This motherboard:

•Easy Installation: Is equipped with BIOS that supports auto detection of hard

drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make setup of hard drives,

expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.

•Multi-Processor/Multi-Speed Support: Supports one Intel Pentium

75-200MHz (P55C-MMX, P54C/P54CS), Cyrix P166+ (Rev 2.7 or later), or

AMD-K5 (PR75-133MHz) (See page 8).

•Intel Chipset: Features Intel's 430VX PCIset with I/O subsystems.

•Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS which

allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher

level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.) (See section V)

•L2 Cache: Comes in 256KB or 512KB models.

•Versatile DRAM Memory Support: Supports 72-pin SIMMs of 4MB, 8MB,

16MB, or 32MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 128MB. Supports

both Fast Page Mode (FPM) and Extended Data Output (EDO) SIMMs.

•ISA and PCI Expansion Slots: Provides three PCI slots, three ISA slots, and one

PCI/ISA share slot.

•Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and

one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed

from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections. Two floppy drives

of either 5.25" or 3.5" (1.44MB or 2.88MB) are also supported without an exter-

nal card. The Japanese "Floppy 3 mode" (3.5" 1.2MB) floppy standard is

also supported.

•PCI Bus Master IDE Controller: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master

IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two chan-

nels, provides faster data transfer rates, and supports Enhanced IDE devices

such as Tape Backup and CD-ROM drives. This controller supports PIO Modes

3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2. BIOS now supports IDE CD-

ROM or SCSI bootup.

•Optional IrDA and PS/2 Mouse Connector: This motherboard supports an

optional infrared port module for wireless interface and a PS/2 mouse cable set.

•NCR SCSI BIOS: This motherboard has firmware that supports optional NCR

SCSI controller cards.

WARNING: Computer motheboards and components contain very delicate

Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect the motherboard and other compo-

nents against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precau-

tions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or

circuitry.

3. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with

the component whenever the components are separated from the system.

System Memory (SIMM)

IMPORTANT: Banks 0 & 1 must have the same size memory installed in pairs.

Do not use memory modules with more than 24 chips per module. Modules with

more than 24 chips exceed the design specifications of the memory subsystem and

will be unstable. Memory speed setup is required through "Auto Configuration"

in BIOS Chipset Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE.

Install memory in any or all of the banks in any combination as follows:

4. CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (FS0, FS1, FS2)

These jumpers tell the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU. These

allow the selection of the CPU’s External frequency (orBUS Clock). The BUS Clock

5. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (BF0, BF1)

These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the CPU

and the External frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU. These must

be set together with the above jumpers CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection.

III. INSTALLATION

External Connectors

IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on

the Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the connectors are labeled on

the motherboard. Pin 1 is the side closest to the power connector on hard drives

and floppy drives. IDE ribbon cable must be less than 18in. (46cm), with the

second drive connector no more than 6in. (15cm) from the first connector.

1. Keyboard Connector (5-pin female)

This connection is for a standard IBM-compatible keyboard. May also be known

as a 101 enhanced keyboard.

Keyboard Connector (5-pin female)

This motherboard accepts an AT Keyboard

Connector Plug as shown here.

2. PS/2 Mouse Connector (6-pin block)

If you are using a PS/2 mouse, you must purchase an optional PS/2 mouse set

which connects to the 6 pin block and mounts to an open slot on your computer's

case. The system will direct IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse if one is detected. If not

detected, expansion cards can use IRQ12. Use “PS/2 Mouse Control” in BIOS

Features Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE for settings.

3. Parallel Printer Connector (26 Pin Block)

Connection for the included parallel port ribbon cable with mounting bracket.

Connect the ribbon cable to this connection and mount the bracket to the case on

an open slot. It will then be available for a parallel printer cable. You can enable

the parallel port and choose the IRQ through "Onboard Parallel Port" in Chipset

Features of the BIOS SOFTWARE.

arallel (Printer) Connector

Pin 1

For this connector to be available, you must connect

the included Parallel (25-Pin female) cable set to a

free expansion slot opening.

TIP: You may also remove the bracket connectors

and mount them directly to the case to save expansion

slot space.

4. Serial Port COM1 and COM2 Connectors (Two 10-pin blocks)

These connectors support the provided serial port ribbon cables with mounting

bracket. Connect the ribbon cables to these connectors and mount the bracket to

the case on an open slot. The two serial ports on the mounting bracket will then

be used for pointing devices or other serial devices. See "Onboard Serial Port"

in Chipset Features Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE for settings.

COM 1 COM 2

Pin 1 Pin 1

For these connectors to be available, you must connect

the included Serial cable set from COM1 (using the

9-Pin male) & COM2 (using the 25-Pin male) to a free

expansion slot opening.

TIP: You may also remove the bracket connectors

and mount them directly to the case to save expansion

slot space.

5. Floppy drive connector (34-pin block )

This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connect-

ing the single end to the board, connect the two plugs on the other end to the

floppy drives.
