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 EPIA-PX Pico-ITX mainboard can support VIA C7 NanoBGA2 processor. The processor requires a heatsink with fan for 1.0GHz SKU. CPU Fan: CPU_FAN The CPU_FAN runs on +5V and maintain CPU cooling. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always be aware that the red wire (positive wire) should be connected to +5V. The black wire is Ground and should always be connected to GND.
Installation MEMORY MODULE INSTALLATION Memory Slot: DDR2_SODIMM The VIA EPIA-PX Pico-ITX mainboard provides one SODIMM slot for DDR2 533 SDRAM memory modules and supports memory sizes up to 1GB. Insert the SODIMM module at a 45 degree angle. Push the SODIMM module back towards the board until the clips lock the module in place. Available DDR2 SDRAM Configurations Refer to the table below for available DDR2 SDRAM configurations on the mainboard.
Chapter 2 CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY The VIA EPIA-PX Pico-ITX mainboard supports a Pico-ITX 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. Pico-ITX 12-Pin Power Connector To connect the 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 P ANEL PORTS The back panel has the following layout: VGA Port The 15-pin female VGA connector can be used to connect to any analog VGA monitor. RJ45 LAN Port The mainboard provides a standard RJ45 port for enabling connections to networks.
Chapter 2 CONNECTORS IDE Connector: IDE The mainboard has an Ultra DMA 133/100 controller. You can connect up to two IDE devices in any combination. 1 44 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 Serial ATA Connectors: SATA The next generation connector supports 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). USB Pin Connector: USB The mainboard provides 1 USB pin connector that allows up to 4 USB 2.0 ports to be added.

Chapter 2 Multimedia Connector It is to connect to a multimedia daughter board for more multimedia functions.
Installation 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: CMOS Reset 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 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.
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.
Chapter 4 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).
