2.1 ASUS A7S-VM Motherboard

PoweredbyAMDAthlon /AMDDuron processors,theASUSA7S-VMmotherboard

bundles advanced technology to deliver outstanding performance. The motherboard

is designed with select features and interfaces to offer value and flexibility.

2.1.1 Specifications

•Processor:Supports SocketA-basedAMDAthlon™/AMD Duron™processors

running at 533MHz up to 1.2GHz with Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of

100MHz.

•North/South Bridge System Chipset: Features the SiS730S single chip that

complements the powers of the SocketA-based processor.The chipset integrates

the Ultra-AGPtechnology and 128-bit 2D/3D graphic engine to deliverAGP4X

performance and up to 1GB/s memory bandwidth.

•PC133SDRAM /VC133VCM/HSDRAMSupport:Equipped with two Dual

Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets to support up to 1GB of memory using

unbuffered PC133/100-compliant or NEC’s VC133-compliant Virtual Channel

(VC) SDRAMs, and Enhanced Memory System’s High-speed DRAMs

(HSDRAMs).

•JumperFree™Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of

frequency and Vcore voltage through BIOS setup when the JumperFree™mode

is enabled. Easy-to-use DIP switches come with the motherboard board to allow

manual adjustment of the processor external/internal frequency.

•UltraDMA/100Support:Comes withanonboard PCIBusMaster IDEcontroller

with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels. Supports

UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4, Bus Master

IDE DMA Mode 2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM,

CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.

•LAN Support: Features the RealTek RTL8100 Fast-Ethernet LAN controller

that fully supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX.

•Super Multi-I/O: Builts-in the iTE IT8705F chipset to support two high-speed

UARTcompatibleserial portsandone parallel portwithEPPandECPcapabilities.

UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to an external infrared module for

wireless connections.

•IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface.

•Wake-On-LAN: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through a WOL connector

or an optional ASUS PCI-L101 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card.

•Wake-On-Ring: Supports Wake-On-Ring activity through a PCI modem card

that supports a WOR connector.

2. FEATURES

Specifications

•PC Health Monitoring: Provides an easy way to test and manage system status

information, such as CPU and system voltages, temperatures, and fan status

through the onboard hardware ASUS ASIC and the bundled ASUS PC Probe.

•SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface used to physically

transport commands and information between SMBus devices.

•PCI Expansion Slots: Provides four 32-bit PCI (Rev. 2.2) expansion slots that

support Bus Master PCI cards, such as SCSI or LAN cards, with 133MB/s

maximum throughput.

•Smart BIOS: 2Mb firmware provides Vcore and CPU/SDRAM frequency

adjustments,boot blockwrite protection, andHD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot

selection.

•EnhancedACPIandAnti-BootVirusProtection:Programmable BIOS (Flash

EEPROM) that offers enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in

firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for a virtual

automatic setup.

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

allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol and create a higher

level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)

•Onboard Audio: Audio models come with the AC ‘97-compliant interfaces

that support integrated audio and modem features that comprise digital audio

engine with 3D-hardware accelerator, on-chip sample rate converter, and a

professional wavetable.

•Connectivity Interface: Supports an optional ASUS iPanel, an easy-to-access

box with system diagnostic display area, system status LEDs, USB ports, and

hotkeys.TheAFPANELconnector onthe motherboardaccommodates theASUS

iPanel.

2. FEATURES

2.1.2 Performance

•ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more

Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power

Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features employed in the OS,

PCs can be ready around the clock but comply with energy saving standards. To

fully utilize the ACPI benefits, use an ACPI-supported OS such as Windows

98/2000/Millenium.

•PC’99 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series

motherboards are PC’99 compliant. The new PC’99 requirements for systems

and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug-

n-Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all

system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for

Windows 95/98/NT. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make

identification easy as required by PC’99.

•High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: Support for UltraDMA/100 through the

onboard IDE bus master controller triples the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer rate.

UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/33, and other

existing DMA devices to save the need to upgrade current EIDE/IDE drives.

(UltraDMA/100/66 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable).

•ConcurrentPCI:Concurrent PCIallows multiplePCI transfers fromPCI master

busses to the memory and processor.

•VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports the new

generation memory, NEC 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous

Dynamic RandomAccess Memory (SDRAM), that is compatible to the industry

standard SDRAM. The VCM core design provides up to 50% higher SDRAM

speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard also

supportsthe standard SDRAM for a the data transfer rate of up to 1.067GB/s using

PC133-compliant SDRAMs and up to 800MB/s using PC100-compliant

SDRAMs.
