Introducing the Mainboard

Congratulations on purchasing the K7VTA3 mainboard. The K7VTA3 main-

board is an ATX mainboard that uses a 4-layer printed circuit board and

measures 305 mm x 244 mm. The mainboard features a Socket 462 that

accommodates AMD Athlon processors supporting frontside bus (FSB)

speeds up to 133 MHz.

The K7VTA3 incorporates the VIA KT333 (VT8367) Northbridge and VT8233A

(or VT8233) Southbridge chipsets which combine support for the new high-

bandwidth Double Data Rate (DDR) 333 SDRAM, and the AC 97 audio codec.

Note: SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on

whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz. Double Data Rate SDRAM

(DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 2.1 GBps or 2.7 GBps by transferring

data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses

additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pinDIMMmodules

rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM.

Compare the mainboard’s package contents with the following checklists:

L7VTA3 V3.1a

Processor The mainboard uses an AMD 462-pin Socket A that has the

following features:

•Supports 100/133 MHz frontside bus (FSB)

•Accommodates AMD Athlon XP/Athlon/Duron processors

Chipset The VIA KT333 (VT8367) Northbridge and VT8233A

Southbridge chipsets are based on an innovative and scale-

able architecture with proven reliability and performance. A few

of the chipset’s advanced features are:

•An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture that

provides the bandwidth and performance necessary for

even the most demanding Internet and 3D graphics

•A low 2.5-volt DDR333 SDRAM power consumption

which makes it an excellent solution for notebooks and

desktops with a small footprint

•Support for a 4xAGP interfaceproviding vivid 3D graphics

and video performance

•An ATA 133 interface on the chipset, which helps boost

system performance by providing a high-speed connec-

tion to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, delivering maximum

sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec

Additional key features include support for four USB ports, an

AC 97 link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring, and

ACPI/OnNow power management.

Note: This mainboard incorporates either VT8233A or

VT8233 Southbridge chipset.

Memory The mainboard accommodates DDR200/266/333 or

PC1600/PC2100/PC2700 DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate

Synchronous DRAM) up to 3 GB using three 2.5V unbuffered

DIMM modules.

VGA The K7VTA3 includes a 4xAGP slot that provides four times

the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. AGP technol-

ogy provides a direct connection between the graphics sub-

system and the processor so that the graphics do not have to

compete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.

AC 97 Audio

Codec The AC 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2.2 speci-

fication, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Converter)

and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as well as 18-bit

stereo full-duplex codec with independent and variable sam-

pling rates. Further features include support for four analog

line-level stereo inputs.

USB USB 1.1

The VT8233A Southbridge chipset features the USB 1.1 speci-

fication which can support for four USB ports. While, VT8233

Southbridge chipset can support for six USB ports.

However, if the mainboard comes with VIA VT6202, then the

mainboard supports the USB 2.0 specification.

USB 2.0 (optional)

The VIA VT6202 PCI USB 2.0 Controller is compliant with

Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.

L7VTA3 V3.1a

Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.

The USB 2.0 supports data transfer rates up to 480Mb/sec for

high-speed devices and specifies a microframe that will be

1/8th of a 1msec frame. This allows the USB 2.0 devices to

have small buffers even at high data rates.

The USB 1.1 connectors and other full speed cables can sup-

port the higher speed of USB 2.0 without any changes.

The chipset has the following advanced USB features:

•Compliant with Enhanced Host Controller Interface

(EHCI) Specification Revision 0.95 and Universal Host

Controller Interface (UHCI) Specification Revision 1.1

•PCI multi-function device consists of two UHCI Host Control-

lers for full/low-speed signaling and one EHCI Host

•Controller core for high-speed signaling

•Supports PCI-Bus Power Management Interface Specifi-

cation release 1.1

•Legacy support for all downstream facing ports

Promise 20265

(optional) •Supports Ultra ATA100 drives and backward compatible

with Ultra ATA66/33 & EIDE drives (identical drives rec-

ommended)

•Supports IDE RAID 1 (mirroring) or 0 (striping)

•Supports UDMA 5/4/3/2/1/0, DMA 2/1/0, PIO 4/3/2/1/0

modes

•Two independent IDE channels support up to four

UDMA/100/66/33 or EIDE drives

Onboard LAN

(optional) The Realtek RTL8100B LAN chip is incorporated in the chipset

providing the mainboard with integrated Ethernet PCI LAN

capabilities.

Expansion

Options The mainboard comes with the following expansion options:

•Five 32-bit PCI slots

•An 4xAGP slot

•A Communications Network Riser (CNR) slot

•Two IDE connectors which support four IDE channels and

a floppy disk drive interface

•IDE RAID 1, 0 supported by Promise PDC20265R con-

troller (optional)

The mainboard supports Ultra DMA bus mastering with trans-

fer rates of 33/66/100/133 MB/sec.

Note: If the mainboard incorporates the VT8233A

Southbridge chipset, the Ultra DMA bus master-

ing can support up to 133 MB/sec transfer rate.

For VT8233 Southbridge chipset, the transfer rate

can support up to 100MB/sec only.

Integrated I/O The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and connectors:

•Two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard

•Two serial ports

•One parallel port

•One MIDI/game port

•Two USB ports

•Audio jacks for microphone, line-in and line-out

L7VTA3 V3.1a

BIOS

Firmware This mainboard uses Award BIOS that enables users to con-

figure many system features including the following:

•Power management

•Wake-up alarms

•CPU parameters

•CPU and memory timing

The firmware can alsobe used to set parameters for different

processor clock speeds.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard com-

plies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some features on the

mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indi-

cators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all

the features required. The mainboard can support one or two floppy diskette

drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient

power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that

the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge

of the mainboard.

This mainboard has an ATX form factor of305 mm x 244mm. Choose a case

that accommodates this form factor.
