Jumpers

1. Keyboard Power Up Setting (KBPWR) This allows you to disable or enable the keyboard power up function. Set to Enable if you want to use your keyboard (by pressing <Spacebar>) to power up your computer. This feature requires an ATX power supply that can supply at least 300mA on the +5VSB lead. The default is set to Disable because not all computers have the appropriate ATX power supply. Your computer will not function if you set this to Enable and if you do not have the right ATX power supply.

3.5 System Memory (DIMM)

This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Three sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of either 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 1.5GB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard. This motherboard also supports NECs Virtual Channel (VC) SDRAMs. To utilize the chipsets Error Checking and Correction (ECC) feature, you must use a DIMM module with 9 chips per side (standard 8 chips/side + 1 ECC chip). Memory speed setup is recommended through SDRAM Configuration in 4.4.1 Chip Configuration. IMPORTANT (see General DIMM Notes below for more) SDRAMs used must be compatible with the current Intel PC133 SDRAM specification. DO NOT attempt to mix SDRAMs with VC SDRAMs.
3. H/W SETUP System Memory
Install memory in any combination as follows:
DIMM Location Socket 1 (Rows 0&1) Socket 2 (Rows 2&3) Socket 3 (Rows 4&5) 168-pin DIMM SDRAM 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB SDRAM 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB SDRAM 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB Total System Memory (Max 1.5GB) x1 x1 x1 = Total Memory
NOTES DIMMs that have more than 18 chips are not supported on this motherboard. For the system CPU bus to operate 100MHz, use only PC100-compliant DIMMs. ASUS motherboards support SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the memory of choice for best performance vs. stability. SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Extended Data Output) chips. BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen. Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256MB; double-sided come in 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512MB.
DIMM Memory Installation Procedures:
Insert the module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module will only fit in the orientation as shown. DRAM SIMM modules have the same pin contacts on both sides. SDRAM DIMMs have different pin contacts on each side and therefore have a higher pin density.

CAUTION! You may wear gloves to protect your hands from the sharp edges when removing SECC2/SEPP processors.
3.6.6 Recommended Heatsinks for Slot 1 Processors
The recommended heatsinks for the Slot 1 processors are those with three-pin fans, such as the ASUS Smart Fan, that can be connected to the motherboards CPU fan connector. These heatsinks dissipate heat more efficiently and with an optional hardware monitor, they can monitor the fans RPM and use the alert function with the Intel LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) or the ASUS PC Probe software.

SECC Heatsink & Fan

SECC2 Heatsink & Fan
NOTE: The SEPP heatsink and fan (for Intel Celeron processors) is similar to the SECC2 heatsink and fan except that the clamping design is different. ASUS P3V133 Users Manual 27
SECC2/SEPP: URM (A): Unlock the URM by pushing the two locks down and then pull the SECC2/SEPP assembly out. URM (B): Place one hand on the heatsink and your other thumb on the top of one of the URMs. Push the URM away from the assembly with your thumb while you rotate the processor out of the slot 1 connector with the other.
3.6.7 ASUS Smart Thermal Solutions
ASUS provides two smart solutions to Slot 1 CPU thermal problems: the ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FAN and the ASUS P2T-Cable.

ASUS S-P2FAN

The optional ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FAN is a CPU fan for a Thermal Sensor CPU Fan Cable Rock Arm Cable Pentium II processor packaged in an SECC. Unlike other CPU thermal solutions, the ASUS S-P2FAN has an integrated thermal sensor located near the center of the CPU heat source. The sensor is optimized by ASUS to give the most accurate reading of the CPU temperature, thus provides the best protection to your computer system.

Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclusively assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If your motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If your motherboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free. IMPORTANT: If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support Share IRQ or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable.

Interrupt Request Table

PCI slot 1 PCI slot 2 PCI slot 3 PCI slot 4 AGP USB INT-A shared ---shared -INT-B -shared ------INT-C --shared ---INT-D ---shared -shared
For a list of default IRQ assignments for standard PC devices, see Appendix. Use this table when configuring your system and for resolving IRQ conflicts. Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may require IRQs. System IRQs are available to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first, then any remaining IRQs are available to PCI cards. Currently, there are two types of ISA cards. The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as legacy ISA cards, requires that you configure the cards jumpers manually and then install it in any available slot on the ISA bus. To see a map of your used and free IRQs in Windows 98, the Control Panel icon in My Computer, contains a System icon, which gives ASUS P3V133 Users Manual
you a Device Manager tab. Double-clicking on a specific hardware device gives you the Resources tab which shows the Interrupt number and address. Double-click Computer to see all the interrupts and addresses for your system. Make sure that no two devices use the same IRQ or your computer will experience problems when those two devices are in use at the same time. To simplify this process, this motherboard complies with the Plug and Play (PNP) specification which was developed to allow automatic system configuration whenever a PNP-compliant card is added to the system. For PNP cards, IRQs are assigned automatically from those available. If the system has both legacy and PNP ISA cards installed, IRQs are assigned to PNP cards from those not used by legacy cards. The PCI and PNP configuration of the BIOS setup utility can be used to indicate which IRQs are being used by legacy cards. For older legacy cards that do not work with the BIOS, you can contact your vendor for an ISA Configuration Utility.

IDELED

IMPORTANT: This feature requires that the PWR UP On Modem Act Power Up Control is set to Enabled (see Power Management Setup under BIOS SETUP).
P3V133 Wake-On-Ring Connector

Pin1 Ground Pin 2 PIXRI#

9. Wake-On-Ring Connector (2-pin WOR) This connector connects to internal modem cards with a Wake-On-Ring output. The connector powers up the system when a ringup packet or signal is received through the internal modem card. NOTE: For external modems, Wake-On-Ring is detected through the COM port.
10. Chassis/CPU/Power Supply Fan Connectors (3-pin CHA_,CPU_,PWR_FAN) These connectors support cooling fans of 500mA (6W) or less. Orientate the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while the black should be ground. Connect the fans plug to the board taking into consideration the polarity of the this connector. NOTES: The Rotation signal is to be used only by a specially designed fan with rotation signal. The fans have been designed to power off after entering the sleep/soft-off mode. This is to reduce both energy consumption and system noise. WARNING! The CPU and/or motherboard will overheat if there is no airflow across the CPU and onboard heatsinks. Damage may occur to the motherboard and/or the CPU fan if these pins are incorrectly used. These are not jumpers, do not place jumper caps over these pins.

11. Wake-On-LAN Connector (3-pin WOL_CON) The WOL_CON connector powers up the system when a wake-up packet or signal is received from the network through an optional PCI-L101 LAN card. IMPORTANT: This feature requires that the Wake-On-LAN Power Up Control is set to Enabled (see Power Management Setup under BIOS SETUP) and that your system has an ATX power supply with at least 720mA +5V standby power.

4. BIOS SETUP Updating BIOS
IMPORTANT! If unknown is displayed after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.
5. Select 1. Save Current BIOS to File from the Main menu and press <Enter>. The Save Current BIOS To File screen appears.
6. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX and then press <Enter>.
4.1.2 Updating BIOS Procedures (only when necessary)
1. Download an updated ASUS BIOS file from the Internet (WWW or FTP) (see ASUS CONTACT INFORMATION on page 3 for details) and save to the disk you created earlier. 2. Boot from the disk you created earlier. 3. At the A:\ prompt, type AFLASH and then press <Enter>. 4. At the Main Menu, type 2 and then press <Enter>. The Update BIOS Including Boot Block and ESCD screen appears. 5. Type the filename of your new BIOS and the path, for example, A:\XXXXX.XXX, and then press <Enter>. NOTE: To cancel this operation, press <Enter>.
6. When prompted to confirm the BIOS update, press Y to start the update.
7. The utility starts to program the new BIOS information into the flash ROM. The boot block will be updated automatically only when necessary. This will minimize the chance of a failed updating. When the programming is finished, Flashed Successfully will be displayed.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
WARNING! If you encounter problems while updating the new BIOS, DO NOT turn off your system since this might prevent your system from booting up. Just repeat the process, and if the problem still persists, update the original BIOS file you saved to disk above. If the Flash Memory Writer utility was not able to successfully update a complete BIOS file, your system may not be able to boot up. If this happens, your system will need servicing.

4.2 BIOS Setup Program

This motherboard supports a programmable EEPROM that can be updated using the provided utility as described in 4.1 Upon First Use of the Computer System. The utility is used if you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to Run Setup. This section describes how to configure your system using this utility. Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, at some time in the future you may want to change the configuration of your computer. For example, you may want to enable the Security Password Feature or make changes to the power management settings. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM. The EEPROM on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. This appears during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press <Delete> to call up the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late in pressing the mentioned key, POST will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from calling up Setup. If you still need to call Setup, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the Reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on again. But do so only if the first two methods fail. The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections among the predetermined choices. To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key after the computer has run through its POST. NOTE: Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the following BIOS screens and descriptions are for reference purposes only and may not reflect your BIOS screens exactly.

Configuration options: [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [Disabled] ASUS P3V133 Users Manual 51

4. BIOS SETUP PCI Configuration
USB Function [Enabled] [Enabled] reserves an IRQ# for the USB to work. [Disabled] does not allow the USB to have an IRQ# and therefore prevents the USB from functioning. If you are not using any USB devices, you may set this feature to [Disabled] to save an extra IRQ# for expansion cards. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled] VGA BIOS Sequence [PCI/AGP] If your computer has both PCI and AGP VGA cards, this field allows you to select which of the cards will act as your primary card. The default, [PCI/ AGP], allows your PCI card to take precedent when detected. [AGP/PCI] uses the AGP card as your primary card. Configuration options: [PCI/AGP] [AGP/PCI]
PCI/PNP ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion
IRQ XX Used By ISA [No/ICU] These fields indicate whether or not the displayed IRQ for each field is being used by a legacy (non-PnP) ISA card. The default value indicates either that the displayed IRQ is not used or that ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) is being used to determine if an ISA card is using that IRQ. If you install a legacy ISA card that requires a unique IRQ and you are not using an ICU, you must set the field for that IRQ to [Yes]. For example: If you install a legacy ISA card that requires IRQ 10, then set IRQ10 Used By ISA to [Yes]. Configuration options: [No/ICU] [Yes]
PCI/PNP ISA DMA Resource Exclusion
DMA x Used By ISA [No/ICU] These fields indicate whether or not the displayed DMA channel for each field is being used by a legacy (non-PnP) ISA card. The default setting indicates either that the displayed DMA channel is not used or an ICU is being used to determine if an ISA card is using that channel. If you install a legacy ISA card that requires a unique DMA channel, and you are not using an ICU, you must set the field for that channel to [Yes]. Configuration options: [No/ICU] [Yes]
PCI/PNP ISA UMB Resource Exclusion
ISA MEM Block BASE [No/ICU] This field allows you to set the base address and block size of a legacy ISA card that uses any memory segment within the C800 and DFFF address range. If you have such a card and you are not using an ICU to specify its address range, select a base address from the six available options; the ISA MEM Block SIZE field will then appear for selecting the block size. If you have more than one legacy ISA card in your system that requires the use of this address range, you can increase the block size to 8K, 16K, 32K, or 64K. If you are using an ICU to accomplish this task, leave ISA MEM Block BASE to its default setting of [No/ICU]. Configuration options: [No/ICU] [C800] [CC00] [D000] [D400] [D800] [DC00]

4.4.4 Shadow Configuration
Video ROM BIOS Shadow [Enabled] This field allows you to change the video BIOS location from ROM to RAM. Relocating to RAM enhances system performance, as information access is faster than the ROM. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled] C8000-DFFFF Shadow [Disabled] These fields are used for shadowing other expansion card ROMs. If you install other expansion cards with ROMs on them, you will need to know which addresses the ROMs use to shadow them specifically. Shadowing a ROM reduces the memory available between 640K and 1024K by the amount used for this purpose. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
4. BIOS SETUP Shadow Configuration

4.5 Power Menu

Power Savings [Customized] This option must be enabled to use any of the automatic power saving features. If this menu item is set to [Disabled], power management features will not function regardless of other field settings on this menu. The [Customized] option allows you to make your own selections in the Power menu. When set to [Maximum Power Saving], the system will be put into power saving mode after a brief period of system inactivity and system power will be conserved to its greatest amount. The Auto Suspend Timeout field will then be set to predefined value that ensures maximum power savings. In contrast, [Maximum Performance] allows a longer period of system inactivity and consumes more power. [Disabled] disables the power saving features. [Customized] allows you to set power saving options according to your preference. Configuration options: [Customized] [Disabled] [Maximum Performance] [Maximum Power Saving] IMPORTANT: Advanced Power Management (APM) should be installed to keep the system time updated when the computer enters suspend mode activated by the BIOS Power Management. For DOS environments, you need to add the statement, DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE, to your CONFIG.SYS file. For Windows 3.x and Windows 95, you need to install Windows with the APM feature. For Windows 98 and later, APM is automatically installed. A battery and power cord icon labeled Power Management will appear in the Control Panel. Choose Advanced in the Power Management Properties dialog box.

4. BIOS SETUP Power Menu

Video Off Option [Suspend -> Off ] This field determines when to activate the video off feature for monitor power management. Configuration options: [Always On] [Suspend -> Off] Video Off Method [DPMS OFF] This field defines the video off features. The DPMS (Display Power Management System) feature allows the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports the DPMS feature. [Blank Screen] only blanks the screen. (Use this for monitors without power management or green features. Your screen saver will not display with [Blank Screen] selected). [V/H SYNC+Blank] blanks the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning. Configuration options: [Blank Screen] [V/H SYNC+Blank] [DPMS Standby] [DPMS Suspend] [DPMS OFF] [DPMS Reduce ON] Hard Disk Timeout [Disabled] When enabled, this shuts down any IDE hard disk drives in the system after a period of inactivity as set in this user-configurable field. This feature does not affect SCSI hard drives. Configuration options: [Disabled] [1 Min] [2 Min] [3 Min].[15 Min] Auto Suspend Timeout [Off] This sets the time period before the system goes into suspend mode. NOTE: This field is only effective for DOS, Windows 95, and Windows NT 4.0 environments. Configuration options: [Off] [20 Sec] [1 Min].[40 Min] PWR Button Behavior [On/Off] When set to [On/Off], the ATX switch can be used as a normal system poweroff button when pressed for less than 4 seconds. [Sleep/Wake] allows the button to have a dual function where pressing less than 4 seconds will place the system in sleep mode. Regardless of the setting, holding the ATX switch for more than 4 seconds will power off the system. NOTE: This field is only effective in APM OS system.

7.1 ASUS S370-133 CPU Card
The optional ASUS S370-133 CPU card allows Slot 1 motherboards to accept socket 370 processors with a FSB running at up to 133MHz. The ASUS S370-133 CPU card supports both Coppermine and Celeron processors to give Slot 1 motherboard owners an inexpensive way to upgrade their Pentium II/III computers using lower costing socket 370 processors. Since socket 370 processors are designed on the Pentium II/III design, the only difference is the package form factor. Additionally, the S370-133 card can acquire temperature data from the processors thermal diode and send it to the motherboard that supports CPU thermal monitoring. The following shows a picture of the ASUS S370-133 CPU card with a black plastic retainer attached to the edge. The retainer is used to hold the ASUS S370-133 CPU card in place using the motherboards Slot 1 retention mechanism. ASUS S370-133 CPU Card Retainer
