Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing MB694A mainboard. The

MB694A mainboard is an ATX mainboard that uses a 4-layer

printed circuit board and measures 304 mm x 190 mm. The

mainboard features a Socket 370 that accommodates PPGA

Celeron, FC-PGA Pentium III, and Cyrix III processors that sup-

port frontside bus (FSB) speeds up to 133 MHz.

This MB694A uses the VIA family chipset and features the AC

97 audio codec. The mainboard delivers high-level performance

with a 4xAGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot and two PCI Bus

Master Ultra DMA (UDMA) ports that support up to four ATAPI (AT

Attachment Packet Interface) devices. The PCI IDE also supports

PIO Mode 3 and 4, UDMA33/66 IDE, and an ATAPI CD-ROM.

The mainboard accommodates PC 100/133 SDRAM (Synchro-

nous DRAM) up to 1.5 GB using three 3.3V unbuffered DIMM

modules. The MB694A also has a full set of I/O ports, such as dual

channel IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, two FIFO serial port

connectors, an EPP/ECP-capable bi-directional parallel port con-

nector, a dual USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector, and PS/2

keyboard and mouse connectors.

One AGP slot, five PCI local bus slots, and one audio modem riser

(AMR) slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral cards.

This chapter contains the following information:

Recommendations

This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock fre-

quency and system bus frequency for the kind of processor that

you install. You may be able to change these automatic settings

by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing

the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend

that you do not overclock the mainboard to run processors or

other components faster than their rated speed.

Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliabil-

ity of the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking

can permanently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat

in components that are run beyond the rated limits.

Components on this mainboard can be damaged by discharges

of static electricity. Handle the board carefully holding it by the

edges. Don’t flex or stress the circuit board. Keep the board in

its static-proof packing until you are ready to install it. Follow the

static guidelines given at the beginning of Chapter 2.

Features

The key features of this mainboard are the wide range of proc-

essors that can be installed, and the high level of integration.

Value-class Processors

Functioning as a platform for a value PC, the MB694A features a

Socket 370 that accommodates PPGA Celeron, Pentium III, and

Cyrix III processors. The MB694A supports 66/100/133 MHz

FSB speeds.

VIA North Bridge Chipset

This board features the VIA VT82C694X NB (North Bridge)

chipset, enabling synchronous and asynchronous frequency op-

eration between the processor and the memory over a wide

frequency range. The NB chipset is optimized for Pentium III

processors at 66/100/133 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency

and supports 32-bit processor bus addressing.

The integrated DRAM controller supports up to four double-

sided DIMMs consisting of EDO, SDRAM, or VCM SDRAM. The

NB chipset provides SDRAM with 64-bit data access.

The AGP interface is AGP specification Rev 2.0 compliant, and

supports 2x/4x/4x 3.3/1.5V devices. The PCI bus interface com-

plies with PCI Rev. 2.1, and supports 3.3V and power supplies.

Five PCI bus masters are supported in addition to the host and

PCI-to-ISA I/O bridge.

VIA South Bridge Chipset

The VIA VT82C686A SB (South Bridge) chipset comes in a 352-

pin BGA package. The PCI to ISA Bridge has an integrated ISA

bus controller with integrated DMA, timer, and interrupt control-

lers.

The Real Time Clock features extended 256 byte CMOS RAM

and a day and month alarm for the ACPI (Advanced Configura-

tion and Power Interface).
