Introduction EP-3VWM EP-3VWM Form-Factor The EP-3VWM is designed with MicroATX form factor - the new industry standard of chassis. MicroATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards.
EP-3VWM Introduction I/O Shield Connector The EP-3VWM is equipped with an I/O back panel. Please use the appropriate I/O shield (figure 3). parallel port Joystick/Midi port PS/2 Mouse PS/2 KEYBOARD USB port COM1 VGA1 Figure 3: I/O back panel layout Speaker Line_in MIC Power-On/Off (Remote) The EP-3VWM has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button.
Introduction EP-3VWM System Block Diagram Figure 5: System Block Diagram Page 1-4
EP-3VWM Features Section 2 FEATURES EP-3VWM Features: EP-3VWM is based on the Socket 370 Processors including PPGA & FCPGA operating at 300 ~ 800MHz. Designed with VIA VT8601 AGPset.

EP-3VWM Installation Easy Installation Procedure The following must be completed before powering on your new system: 3-1. CPU Insertion 3-2. Jumper Settings 3-3. System memory Configuration 3-4. Device Connectors Section 3-1 CPU Insertion CPU Insertion Step 1 Open the socket by raising the actuation lever. Figure 2 Step 2 Insert the processor. Figure 3 Ensure proper pin 1 orientation by aligning the FC-PGA corner marking with the socket corner closest to the actuation arm tip.
Installation EP-3VWM Step 3 Close the socket by lowering and locking the actuation lever. Figure 4 Note: Intels reference design thermal solution is an active heatsink; an extruded aluminum heatsink based and a fan attached to the top on the fin array.

Installation EP-3VWM Section 3-3 System Memory Configuration Memory Layout The EP-3VWM supports (2) PC100 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs is for SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM) only. DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or 125MHz (8ns) bus speed. If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure your BIOS to read 60ns. When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the 4 clock variety over the 2 clock.
EP-3VWM Installation DIMM Module Installation Figure 7 displays the notch marks and what they should look like on your DIMM memory module. DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that will match with the onboard DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a 90 degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 8) until it fits tightly into the DIMM socket (figure 9).

Installation EP-3VWM Device Connectors (continued) (This is connected to the power button on the case. Using the Soft-Off by Pwr-BTTN feature, you can choose either Instant Off (turns system off immediatly), or 4 sec delay (you need to hold the button down for 4 seconds before the system turns off). When the system is in 4 sec delay mode, there is a special feature to make the system to go into suspend mode when the button is pressed momentarily).
EP-3VWM BIOS Section 4 AWARD BIOS SETUP Main Menu Awards ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user to modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.
BIOS EP-3VWM The menu displays all the major selection items. Select the item you need to reconfigure. The selection is made by moving the cursor (press any direction key ) to the item and pressing the Enter key. An on-line help message is displayed at the bottom of the screen as the cursor is moved to various items which provides a better understanding of each function. When a selection is made, the menu of the selected item will appear so that the user can modify associated configuration parameters.
