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.
Installation CPU The VIA EPIA-EX Mini-ITX mainboard can support VIA C7 NanoBGA2 Processors. The processor requires a heatsink with fan for 1.5GHz SKU and a fanless heatsink for 1.0GHz SKU.
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.
Installation MEMORY MODULE INSTALLATION The VIA EPIA-EX Mini-ITX mainboard provides one 240-pin DIMM slot for DDR2 533 SDRAM memory modules and supports the memory size up to 1GB. DIMM DDR2 SDRAM Module Installation Procedures • Locate the DIMM slot in the motherboard. • Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. • Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot.
Chapter 2 CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY The VIA EPIA-EX 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.
Installation BACK PANEL PORTS The back panel has the following ports: S/PDIF Ports This mainboard enables digital audio output through either the coaxial or optical SPDIF port. DVI Port The DVI-I connector allows you to connect to DVI display. S_Video Port The black port allows you to connect TV monitor or S-video device to the mainboard.
Chapter 2 RJ45 10/100 LAN and USB Ports The mainboard provides a standard RJ-45 and two USB 2.0 ports. These ports allow connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a network hub and USB 2.0 devices. RCA Jack The top three RCA jacks enable you to connect to displays using component video signals. The bottom three RCA jacks enable you to connect to displays using the yellow composite video jack. The red and white RCA jacks are for audio output.
Installation CONNECTORS Hard Disk Connectors: IDE The mainboard has an Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 controller. You can connect up to two hard disk drives, CD-ROM and other devices. IDE 1 If two drives are connected to a single cable, the jumper on the second drive must be set to slave mode. Refer to the drive documentation supplied by the vendor for the jumper settings.
Chapter 2 Case Connector: F_PANEL The F_PANEL pin header allows you to connect the power switch, reset switch, power LED, sleep LED, HDD LED and the case speaker.

Pressing this button will turn the system power on or off.
Installation Front Panel Audio Connector: F_AUDIO This is an interface for the VIA front panel audio cable that allow convenient connection and control of audio devices. By default, the pins labeled AUD_FPOUT_R / AUD_RET_R and the pins AUD_FPOUT_L / AUD_RET_L are shorted with jumper caps. Remove the caps only when you are connecting the front panel audio cable.

Installation Serial ATA Connectors: SATA1 and SATA2 SATA1-2 These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for primary internal storage devices. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA). System Management Bus Connector: SMBUS This pin header allows you to connect SMBUS (System Management Bus) devices.
Chapter 2 CD Audio Connector: CD_In This pin header allows you to receive stereo audio input from sound source such as a CD-ROM. Pin Signal 1 2 3 4 LINEIN_L GND GND LINEIN_R 1 CD_IN FireWire Connector: 1394_1 FireWire is a serial I/O interface that provides you fast data transfer rates. The mainboard has one FireWire pin header to provide PC connectivity for a wide range of devices, including consumer electronics audio/video (A/V) appliances, storage peripherals, other PCs and portable devices.
Installation SCART & D-Terminal (Optional) Mainboards fitted with the optional SCART / D-Terminal connector enables users to connect a SCART / D-Terminal port for connecting to audio/visual equipment. Pin Signal Pin Signal 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 AUDIO_R AUDIO_L +2.
Chapter 2 JUMPERS The mainboard provides jumpers for setting some mainboard functions. This section will explain how to change the settings of the mainboard functions using the jumpers. Clear CMOS: CLEAR_CMOS The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pins 2 and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pins 1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard.

Chapter 2 SLOTS Peripheral Component Interconnect: PCI1 The PCI slot allows you to insert PCI expansion card. When adding or removing expansion card, unplug first the power supply. Read the documentation for the expansion card if any changes to the system are necessary. PCI PCI Interrupt Request Routing The IRQ (interrupt request line) are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor.

CHAPTER 4 Driver Installation This chapter gives you brief descriptions of each mainboard driver and application. You must install the VIA chipset drivers first before installing other drivers such as audio or VGA drivers. The applications will only function correctly if the necessary drivers are already installed.
Driver Installation DRIVER UTILITIES Getting Started The mainboard includes a Driver Utilities CD that contains the driver utilities and software for enhancing the performance of the mainboard. If the CD is missing from the retail box, please contact the local dealer for the CD. Note: The driver utilities and software are updated from time to time. The latest updated versions are available at http://www.viaembedded.com.
Chapter 4 Running the Driver Utilities CD To start using the CD, insert the CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. The CD should run automatically after closing the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. The driver utilities and software menu screen should then appear on the screen. If the CD does not run automatically, click on the “Start” button and select “Run…” Then type: "D:\Setup.exe". NOTE: D: might not be the drive letter of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in your system.
Driver Installation CD CONTENT VIA 4in1 Drivers: Contains VIA ATAPI Vendor Support Driver (enables the performance enhancing bus mastering functions on ATA-capable Hard Disk Drives and ensures IDE device compatibility), AGP VxD Driver (provides service routines to your VGA driver and interface directly to hardware, providing fast graphical access), IRQ Routing Miniport Driver (sets the system's PCI IRQ routing sequence) and VIA INF Driver (enables the VIA Power Management function).
