ECS P6VXM2 Bedienungsanleitung

Caution! When installing a CPU heatsink and

cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT

scratch the motherboard or any of the

surface-mount resistors with the clip of

the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling

fan scrapes across the mainboard, you

may cause serious damage to both the

mainboard and the processor.

On most mainboards, there are small

surface-mount resistors near the proces-

sor socket, which may be damaged if the

cooling fan is carelessly installed.

Avoid using cooling fans with sharp

edges on the fan casing and the clips.

Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit

work area so that you can clearly see the

mainboard and processor socket.

Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing the P6VXM2 mainboard. The

P6VXM2 mainboard is a Micro ATX mainboard that uses a 4-

layer printed circuit board and measures 244 mm x 220 mm.

The mainboard features a Socket 370 that accommodates

PPGA Celeron, FC-PGA Pentium III, and Cyrix III processors

that support frontside bus (FSB) speeds up to 133 MHz.

The P6VXM2 uses the VIA family chipset and features the AC

97 audio codec. The mainboard delivers high-level performance

with a 4xAGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot and two PCI Bus

Master Ultra DMA (UDMA) ports that support up to four ATAPI (AT

Attachment Packet Interface) devices. The PCI IDE also supports

PIO Mode 3 and 4, UDMA33/66 IDE (UDMA100 is optional), and

an ATAPI CD-ROM.

Note: The P6VXM2 supports two VIA South Bridge chipsets—the

VIA VT82C686A and the VIA VT82C686B. The VIA VT82C686A

is standard and supports UDMA33/66. The VIA VT82C686B is op-

tional and supports UDMA100.

The mainboard accommodates PC 100/133 SDRAM (Synchro-

nous DRAM) up to 1 GB using two 3.3V unbuffered DIMM

modules. The P6VXM2 also has a full set of I/O ports, such as

dual channel IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, two FIFO serial

port connectors, an EPP/ECP-capable bi-directional parallel port

connector, a dual USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector, and

PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors.

One AGP slot, three 32-bit PCI local bus slots, and one 8/16-bit

ISA slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral cards.

Recommendations

This mainboard use jumpers to manually set the CPU clock ratio

for the kind of processor that you install. Refer to jumper settings

(page 14) to set the CPU clock ratio for your processor by short-

ing (placing a shunt over) the pins indicated. We strongly

recommend that you do not overclock the mainboard to run

processors or other components faster than their rated speed.

Warning: Overclockingcomponentscanadversely affectthe reliabil-

ity of the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking

can permanently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat

in components that are run beyond the rated limits.

Components on this mainboard can be damaged by discharges

of static electricity. Handle the board carefully holding it by the

edges. Don’t flex or stress the circuit board. Keep the board in

its static-proof packing until you are ready to install it. Follow the

static guidelines given at the beginning of Chapter 2.

Features

The key features of this mainboard are the wide range of proc-

essors that can be installed, and the high level of integration.

Value-class Processors

Functioning as a platform for a value PC, the P6VXM2 features

a Socket 370 that accommodates PPGA Celeron, Pentium III,

and Cyrix III processors. The P6VXM2 supports 66/100/133

MHz FSB speeds.

VIA North Bridge Chipset

This board features the VIA VT82C694X NB (North Bridge)

chipset, enabling synchronous and asynchronous frequency op-

eration between the processor and the memory over a wide

frequency range. The NB chipset is optimized for Pentium III

processors at 66/100/133 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency

and supports 32-bit processor bus addressing.

The integrated DRAM controller supports up to four double-

sided DIMMs consisting of EDO, SDRAM, or VCM SDRAM. The

NB chipset provides SDRAM with a 64-bit data interface.

The AGP interface is AGP specification Rev 2.0 compliant, and

supports 2x/4x/4x 3.3/1.5V devices. The PCI bus interface com-

plies with PCI Rev. 2.1, and supports 3.3V and power supplies.

Five PCI bus masters are supported in addition to the host and

PCI-to-ISA I/O bridge.

VIA South Bridge Chipset

Note: The P6VXM2 supports two VIA South Bridge chipsets—the

VIA VT82C686A and the VIA VT82C686B. The VIA VT82C686A

is standard and supports UDMA33/66. The VIA VT82C686B is op-

tional and supports UDMA100.

The VIA VT82C686A SB (South Bridge) chipset comes in a 352-pin

BGA package. The PCI to ISA Bridge has an integrated ISA bus

controller with integrated DMA, timer, and interrupt controllers. The

VIA VT82C686A chipset supports UDMA33/66.
