Handling Precautions

Warning :

1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on the

mainboard.

Before handling any mainboard outside of its protective packaging,

ensure that there is no static electric charge in your body.

2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the

manufacturer.

3. iscard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Observe the following basic precautions when handling the mainboard or other

computer components:

nWear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is connected to a

natural earth ground.

nTouch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a water

pipe.

nAvoid contacting the components on add-on cards, boards and modules and

with the “gold finger” connectors plugged into the expansion slot. t is

best to handle system components by their mounting bracket.

The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged

properly.

Overview

Based on the new highly-integrated VIA 580VPX, the mainboard combines

blistering PentiumÒ processor per ormance with support or intelligent

diagnostic and power management eatures to provide a power ul and versatile

plat orm.

With its switching voltage regulator, the VA-502 runs a complete range o Intel

PentiumÒ processors, including the Intel Pentium processor with MMXÔ

technology, as well as the AMD-K5Ô and Cyrix/IBM 6x86Ô, and is easily

upgradable to the Cyrix/IBM MXÔ and the AMD-K6Ô. For added power and

per ormance, the VA-502 takes up to 512KB Pipeline Burst Level II cache and

up to 512MB DRAM via our 72-pin SIMM sockets and two 168-pin DIMM

sockets which accept high-speed EDO, and lightning- ast SDRAM memory

types.

The VA-502 comes with a ull set o I/O eatures conveniently integrated on the

rear I/O panel, including two USB connectors. The board also has an integrated

PCI Bus Master Enhanced IDE controller with support or the new Ultra

DMA/33 protocol, which doubles ATA-2 Hard Disk Drive data trans er rates to

33MB/s while maintaining ull backwards compatibility with existing PIO Mode

3, PIO Mode 4 and DMA Mode 2 devices.

Chapter 1 o this manual gives you a brie overview o the VA-502 mainboard,

including its main components and eatures. Chapter 2 contains advice on how

to upgrade and install key components on the mainboard, while Chapter 3

provides detailed in ormation about the board’s BIOS settings. For the most up-

to-date in ormation about your mainboard and the latest FAQs and BIOS

updates, visit FIC Online at www. ic.com.tw.

VA-502 Mainboard Manual

Advanced Features

This mainboard comes equipped with the most advanced new eatures that not

only optimize the per ormance o the latest processors but also enhance the

manageability, power management capabilities, and user- riendliness o your

system. This section provides detailed in ormation on these eatures, and how

they are implemented on the mainboard.

nOptimized Intel MMXÔ Performance

The mainboard utilizes the advanced eatures o the VIA 580VPX to

optimize the unrivaled per ormance o the Intel PentiumÒ processor with

MMXÔ technology, allowing you to enjoy a richer video, audio, digital

imaging and communications experience rom the latest generation o

multimedia so tware. To provide you with additional lexibility, the

mainboard also supports other leading-edge processors eaturing Intel’s

MMXÔ technology, including the AMD-K6Ô processor.

nLightning-Fast SDRAM Performance

The mainboard supports the new generation o lightning- ast SDRAM

(Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) via its two onboard 168-

pin DIMM sockets. SDRAM delivers an added boost to overall system

per ormance by increasing the CPU-to-memory data trans er rate to

528MB/sec compared to 264MB/sec or conventional EDO DRAM.

SDRAM per ormance on the VA-502 is urther boosted by the board’s

integrated I2C controller, which optimizes the memory timing settings.

nBlistering Ultra DMA/33 HDD Performance

With its integrated Enhanced PCI Bus Master IDE controller that supports

the new Ultra DMA/33 protocol, this mainboard doubles HDD data trans er

rates to 33MB/sec, compared to 16MB/sec or conventional PIO Mode 3,

PIO Mode 4, and DMA Mode 2 devices. By reducing the CPU’s workload

and increasing CPU utilization, Ultra DMA/33 signi icantly improves

system per ormance when running applications under WindowsÒ 95 and

WindowsÒ NT environments. The Ultra DMA/33 protocol is completely

backward compatible with conventional ATA-2 HDD devices; so the

mainboard also supports existing PIO Mode 3, PIO Mode 4 and DMA

Mode 2 devices using the same cable.
