EP-3VBM+ Introduction EP-3VBM+ Form-Factor The EP-3VBM+ is designed with Micro-ATX form factor - the new industry standard of chassis. The Micro-ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards.
EP-3VBM+ Introduction I/O Shield Connector The EP-3VBM+ is equipped with an I/O back panel. Please use the appropriate I/O shield (figure 2). Joystick/Midi port parallel port PS/2 Mouse USB port PS/2 KEYBOARD COM1 COM2 Figure 2: I/O back panel layout Speaker Line_in MIC Power-On/Off (Remote) The EP-3VBM+ has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies.

EP-3VBM+ Features Section 2 FEATURES EP-3VBM+ Features: _ EP-3VBM+ is based on the Socket 370 Processors including PCGA & FCPGA operating at 500 ~700MHz. _ Designed with VIA Apollo Pro 133 PCIset. _ Supports up to 512MB of DRAM (minimum of 8 MB) on board (please see Section 3-2). _ EP-3VBM+ will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using parity SDRAM memory modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and correct 1-bit memory errors.
Features EP-3VBM+ _ Built-in ATX 20-pin power supply connector. _ Software power-down when using Windows® 95/98. _ Supports ring-in feature (remote power-on through external modem, allows system to be turned on remotely). Resume by Alarm - Allows your system to turn on at a preselected time. Power Loss Recovery - In the event of a power outtage your system will automatically turn itself back on without user intervention. _ Supports CPU Hardware sleep and SMM (System Management Mode).

EP-3VBM+ Installation Easy Installation Procedure The following must be completed before powering on your new system: 3-1. CPU Insertion 3-2. Jumper Settings 3-3. System memory Configuration 3-4. Device Connectors Section 3-1 CPU Insertion CPU Insertion: (use CuMineTM for reference) Step 1 Open the socket by raising the actuation lever. Figure 2 Step 2 Insert the processor.
EP-3VBM+ Installation Step 3 Close the socket by lowering and locking the actuation lever. Figure 4 Note: Intels reference design thermal solution is an active heatsink; an extruded aluminum heatsink based and a fan attached to the top on the fin array.
EP-3VBM+ Installation Section 3-3 System Memory Configuration Memory Layout The EP-3VBM+ supports (2) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO (Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM). DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or 125MHz (8ns) bus speed. If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure your BIOS to read 60ns. When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the 4 clock variety over the 2 clock.
EP-3VBM+ Installation DIMM Module Installation Figure 7 displays the notch marks and what they should look like on your DIMM memory module. DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that will match with the onboard DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a 90 degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 8) until it fits tightly into the DIMM socket (figure 9).

EP-3VBM+ BIOS Section 4 AWARD BIOS SETUP BIOS Instructions Awards ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user to modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.
EP-3VBM+ BIOS The menu displays all the major selection items. Select the item you need to reconfigure. The selection is made by moving the cursor (press any direction key ) to the item and pressing the Enter key. An on-line help message is displayed at the bottom of the screen as the cursor is moved to various items which provides a better understanding of each function. When a selection is made, the menu of the selected item will appear so that the user can modify associated configuration parameters.
EP-3VBM+ BIOS Note: The Halt On: field is used to determine when to halt the system by the BIOS if an error occurs. Note: Floppy 3 Mode support is a mode used to support a special 3.5 drive used in Japan.

EP-3VBM+ BIOS 4-10 IDE HDD Auto Detection The IDE HDD auto detection utility is a very useful tool, especially when you do not know which kind of hard disk type you are using. You can use this utility to detect the correct disk type installed in the system automatically. But now you can set HARD DISK TYPE to Auto in the STANDARD CMOS SETUP. You dont need the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION utility. The BIOS will Autodetect the hard disk size and model on display during POST.
EP-3VBM+ BIOS If user set his HDD to NORMAL mode, the maximum accessible HDD size will be 528 Megabytes even though its physical size may be greater than that! LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode: A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck. The number of cylinders, heads & sectors shown in setup may not be the number physically contained in the HDD.
EP-3VBM+ BIOS Service Routine (INT 13h). It may fail to access a HDD with LBA (LARGE) mode selected if you are running under an Operating System which replaces the whole INT 13h. UNIX operating systems do not support either LBA or LARGE and must utilize the Standard mode. UNIX can support drives larger than 528MB. 4-11 Save & Exit Setup The SAVE & EXIT SETUP option will bring you back to the boot up procedure with all the changes you just recorded in the CMOS RAM.
