Introduction EP-3VCA2 EP-3VCA2 Form-Factor The EP-3VCA2 is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of chassis. 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-3VCA2 Introduction I/O Shield Connector The EP-3VCA2 is equipped with an I/O back panel. Please use the appropriate I/ O shield (figure 3). Joystick/Midi parallel port PS/2 Mouse USB port PS/2 KEYBOARD COM1 COM2 Speaker Line_in MIC Figure 3: I/O back panel layout Power-On/Off (Remote) The EP-3VCA2 has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button.

EP-3VCA2 Features Section 2 FEATURES EP-3VCA2 Features: EP-3VCA2 is based on the Socket 370 Processors including PPGA & FCPGA operating at 300 ~ 800MHz. Designed with VIA Apollo Pro 133A PCIset. Supports up to 768MB of DRAM (minimum of 8 MB) on board (please see Section 3-2). EP-3VCA2 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-3VCA2 4 USB ports are provided, 2 ports are onboard and another 2 USB ports, as option, need USB an cable on USB2 position. The onboard VT82C686A chip provides the means for connecting PC peripherals such as; keyboards, joysticks, telephones, and modems. 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).

EP-3VCA2 Installation Section 3-3 System Memory Configuration Memory Layout The EP-3VCA2 supports (3) PC133 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs is for 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.
Installation EP-3VCA2 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-3VCA2 Installation Device Connectors (continued) (This is connected to the power button on the case. Using the Soft-Off by Pwr-BTTN feature, you can choose either Instant Off (turns system off immediatly), or 4 sec delay (you need to hold the button down for 4 seconds before the system turns off). When the system is in 4 sec delay mode, there is a special feature to make the system to go into suspend mode when the button is pressed momentarily).
Installation EP-3VCA2 Section 3-5 External Modem Ring-in Power ON and Keyboard Power ON Functions (KBPO) On the basis of bounded functions in I/O chipset, the two serial ports are able to support the External Modem Ring-in Power ON function. Once users connect the external modem to COM1 or COM2, the EP-3VCA2 mainboard allows users to turn on their system through the remote and host's dial-up control.
EP-3VCA2 Installation 3-6 STR (Suspend To RAM) Function The EP-3VCA2 supports the STR power management state by maintaining the appropriate states on the SDRAM interface signals. The power source must be kept alive to the SDRAM during STR (ACPI S3). Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS such as Instant ON and QuickStartTM function. 1.

You must push the Power button connected with onboard J3 pin to wake up you system (not to click to mouse or press keyboard to wake up the system.) Just pushing Power button, your system will quickly back to the last screen for you. The LED Indicator for ACPI Status table shown below will guide you and give you a reference for ACPI status on this mainboard.
EP-3VCA2 BIOS Section 4 BIOS SETUP Main Menu 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.
BIOS EP-3VCA2 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.
