CHAPTER 2 Installation This chapter provides you with information about hardware installation procedures. It is recommended to use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage some components.
Chapter 2 CPU The VIA EPIA-MS Mini-ITX mainboard includes an embedded VIA C3 or Eden Processor. The VIA C3 Processor provides ultra-low power consumption and advanced thermal dissipation properties. The VIA C3 Processor requires heatsink and a CPU fan to provide sufficient cooling. Ensure that the CPU fan is correctly installed as shown.
Installation Providing ultra-low power consumption and advanced thermal dissipation properties, the VIA Eden Processor features a fanless design. The VIA Eden Processor requires only a heatsink as shown. WARNING: This mainboard is not designed to support overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee the damage or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.
Chapter 2 CPU Fan and System Fan: CPUFAN and SYSFAN The CPUFAN (CPU fan) and SYSFAN (system fan) run on +12V and maintain system cooling. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always be aware that the red wire is the Positive and should be connected to the +12V. The black wire is Ground and should always be connected to GND. The CPU system and power fan connectors have sensors to support fan monitoring except for +12V_CONN.
Installation MEMORY MODULE INSTALLATION The VIA EPIA-MS Mini-ITX mainboard provides one 200-pin SODIMM slot for DDR266 SDRAM memory modules and supports the memory size up to 1GB. DDR SDRAM Module Installation Procedures • Make sure the notch is on the proper side. The module will only fit in the right orientation. • Insert the memory module into the slot at a 30 degree angle (30 degrees from the board). It should lightly snap into place.
Chapter 2 CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY The VIA EPIA-MS Mini-ITX mainboard supports a conventional ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed correctly to ensure that no damage will be caused. ATX 20-Pin Power Connector To connect the ATX power supply, make sure the power plug is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the plug firmly into the connector.
