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 Eden-N Processors The VIA VT310-DP Mini-ITX mainboard includes two embedded VIA Eden-N Processors. The dual Eden-N Processors provides ultra-low power consumption and advanced thermal dissipation properties. The dual Eden-N Processors requires only a heatsink to provide sufficient cooling, as a fanless solution, by satisfying the VIA recommended system-level thermal guideline. For systems designed to include a CPU fan, please ensure that the CPU fan is correctly installed as shown.
Installation CPU Fan and System Fan: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN and FAN3 The CPUFAN1 (CPU fan), SYSFAN2 (system fan) and FAN3 runs 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. CPUFAN_PWM is a switch that is used by high-quality fans to monitor the system temperature and will automatically adjust according to the environment.
Chapter 2 MEMORY MODULE INSTALLATION The VIA VT310-DP Mini-ITX mainboard provides two 184-pin DIMM slots for DDR400/333/266 SDRAM memory modules and supports the memory size up to 1.5GB. DDR SDRAM Module Installation Procedures • Locate the DIMM sockets in the motherboard. • Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. • Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.
Installation CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY The VIA VT310-DP 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.
Chapter 2 BACK PANEL PORTS The back panel has the following ports: RJ45 Port COM1 VGA1 RJ45 Ports Giga LAN USB Ports VGA Out: VGA1 The 15-pin female VGA connector can be used to connect to any analog VGA monitor. Serial port: COM 1 This 9-pin COM 1 port is for pointing devices or other serial devices. RJ45 10/100 LAN Connectors The mainboard provides a standard RJ45 port. This port allows connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a network hub USB 2.
Installation Stacked RJ45 10/100 & 10/100/1000 LAN Connectors The stacked RJ45 connector provides two Ethernet ports.
Chapter 2 CONNECTORS Hard Disk Connector: IDE1 The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced IDE and Ultra DMA 133/100 controller that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 133/100 functions. You can connect up to two hard disk drives, CD-ROM and other devices. IDE1 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.
Installation Case Connector: FPANL The FPANL pin header allows you to connect the power switch, reset switch, power LED and the HDD LED. Pin Signal Pin Signal 1 3 5 7 9 11 PW_LED PW_LED GND NC GND -EXTSMI 2 4 6 8 10 12 5V_P HD_LED PW_BN GND RST_SW GND 2 1 FPNL 12 11 Power Switch (PW_BN), pin 6 & pin 8 Connect to a 2-pin power button switch. Pressing this button will turn the system power on or off.
Chapter 2 System Management Bus Connector: SM Bus The connector allows you to connect SM Bus (System Management Bus) devices for IPMB. Devices communicate with an SM Bus host and or other SM Bus devices using the SM Bus interface. Pin Signal 1 2 3 4 551SMDAT_IP GND 551SMBCLK_IP +3.3VSUS IPMB 1 Buzzer Connector: Buzzer This pin header allows you to connect a buzzer device.
Installation USB Connector: F_USB The mainboard provides a front USB pin header, allowing up to 2 additional USB2.0 ports up to maximum throughput of 480 Mbps. Connect each 2-port USB cable into the pin header. These ports can be used to connect highspeed USB interface peripherals such as USB HDD, digital cameras, MP3 players, printers, modem and the like.
Chapter 2 Serial Port Connector: COM2 COM2 can be used to attach additional port for serial mouse or another serial device. Pin Signal Pin Signal 1 3 5 7 9 DCD2_L_SER RXD2_SER TXD2_SER_R DTR2_L_SER_R GND 2 4 6 8 10 DCD2_L_SER RTS2_L_SER_R CTS2_L_SER RI2_L_SER Key COM2 1 2 9 10 VGA Connector: VGA2 VGA2 pin header can be used to attach additional port for VGA monitor.
Installation Front Panel Audio Connector: AUDIO The Line-Out jack is for connecting to external speakers or headphones. The Line-In jack is for connecting to an external audio device such as a CD player, tape player, etc. The Mic jack is for connecting to a microphone. See Appendix A for details on using the 6-channel audio mode.
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 This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data.
Installation SLOTS Peripheral Component Interconnect: PCI 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 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.
Chapter 4 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.
Driver Installation 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.
