Installation Procedures
The VT-501 has several user-adjustable jumpers on the board that allow you to
configure your system to suit your requirements. This chapter contains
information on the various jumper settings on your mainboard.
To set up your computer, you should follow these installation steps:
■Step 1 -
Set system jumpers
■Step 2 -
Install DRAM and SDRAM modules
■Step 3 -
Install the CPU
■Step 4 -
Install expansion cards
■Step 5 -
Connect cables and power supply
■Step 6 -
Set up BIOS feature (Please read Chapter Three.)

1). Set System Jumpers
Jumpers
Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Some jumpers
on the board have three metal pins with each pin representing a different
function. To “set” a jumper, a black cap containing metal contacts is placed
over the jumper pin/s according to the required configuration. A jumper is said
to be “shorted” when the black cap has been placed on one or two of its pins.
The types of jumpers used in this manual are shown below:
NOTE : Users are not encouraged to change the jumper settings not listed in
this manual. Changing the jumper settings improperly may adversely affect
system performance.

Clear Password: CPW
This jumper allows you to set the password configuration to “Enabled” or
“Disabled”. You may need to enable this jumper if you forget your password.
Flash EPROM Type: EP1, EP2 and EP3
These three jumpers allows you to configure the mainboard when using the
MXIC 28F1000, Intel 28F001, SST 29EE010 (default), ATMEL 29C0101A,
MXIC 28F2000, SST 29EE0202 Flash EPROM chip.

2). Install System Memory
DRAM and SDRAM
The working space of the computer is the Random Access Memory (RAM).
The system cannot act upon data unless it is loaded into RAM. When more
memory is added, the working memory of the computer is larger, thereby
increasing total performance.
The VT-501’s RAM is comprised of two industry standard 72-pin Single In-
line Memory Modules (SIMMs) and one 168-pin Dual In-line Memory Module
(DIMM). The SIMM socket is able to support from 8 to 128MB FPM (Fast
Page Mode) and EDO (Extended Data Out) DRAM. Its DIMM socket is able
to support 64MB SRAM (Synchronous DRAM).
SDRAM is an advanced new memory technology that boosts overall system
performance with its ability to synchronize all operations with the processor
clock signal. This makes the implementation of control interfaces easier, and
speeds up column access time. SDRAM features an on-chip burst counter that
can be utilized to increment column addresses for very fast burst accesses,
which means that SDRAM allows new memory accesses to be initiated before
the preceding access has been finished.
Before making DRAM upgrades you should verify the type and speed of the
RAM currently installed from your dealer. Installing mixtures of RAM types
other than those described in this manual will have up unpredictable results.

Installation Procedures

Install SIMMs
Complete the following procedures to install SIMMs:
CAUTION : Always turn the system power off before installing or removing
any device; and see “Handling Precautions” at the start of this manual.
1. Locate the SIMM slots on the mainboard. (See figure below.)
NOTE : BANK 0 and BANK 1 can use different type SIMMs - but you must
populate each memory bank with the same type of SIMM. The BIOS will
automatically configure the memory size.
2. Carefully fit a SIMM at a 45
degree angle into each empty
sockets to be populated. All the
SIMMs must face the same
direction.
3.
Swing each SIMM into its
upright, locked position.
When locking a SIMM
in place, push on each end of the SIMM -
do not push in the middle, as shown above.
Remove SIMMs
To remove the SIMMs, pull the retaining latch on both ends of the socket and
reverse the procedure above.

Install DIMM
Complete the following procedures to install DIMMs:
1. Locate the DIMM slot on the mainboard. (See figure below.)
2. Insert the DIMM straight down onto the DIMM slot with both hands
carefully until the clips on the ends of the slot close up to hold the DIMM
firmly.
Remove DIMM
Press the clips on the ends of the slot simultaneously. The DIMM will spring
out easily.

Cache Memory
The VT-501 comes with onboard 256KB/512KB synchronous 3V Pipeline
Burst SRAM.
Please note that for 256KB secondary cache, M2 and M3 should be mounted
with 32Kx32 Pipeline Burst SRAM. (Please refer to your dealer for the 512KB
cache upgrade and the appropriate SRAM type.)

256/512KB Cache SRAM
NOTE : Use the correct chips for the amount of cache memory you want to
add. Install both the correct Cache and Tag SRAM.
