Handling Procedures

Static electricity can severely damage your equipment. Handle the EP-MVP4F and

any other device in your system with extreme care and avoid unnecessary contact

with system components on the mainboard. Always work on an antistatic surface

to avoid possible damage to the mainboard from static discharge. Always have the

power supply unplugged and powered off when inserting and removing devices

within the computer chassis. EPoX assumes no responsibility for any damage to

the EP-MVP4F mainboard that results from failure to follow instruction or failure

to observe safety precautions.

CAUTION

The EP-MVP4F mainboard is subject to

damage by static electricity. Always

observe the handling procedures.

EP-MVP4F Form Factor

The EP-MVP4F is designed with MicroATX form factor - the new industry

standard of chassis. The MicroATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT base-

board 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.

MicroATX defines a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be

used to host a wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this

aperture is defined, allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV

input, TV output, joystick, modem, LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems

integrators differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your

needs.

• Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.

• I/O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.01 or later. Mainboard

could be used in an ATX 2.01-compliant.

• A smaller power supply cam be used. High integration on mainboard reduces

the system costs.

Figure 4: Simple ATX Power

ON/OFF Controller

Power-On/Off (Remote)

The EP-MVP4F 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. The systems power

On/Off button should be a momentary button that is normally open.

The EP-MVP4F has been designed with “Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off

the system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off

button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the EP-MVP4F’s

onboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system.

Windows 95/98 will control this when the user clicks that they are ready to

Shutdown the system.

I/O Shield Connector

The EP-MVP4F is equipped with an I/O back panel.Please use the appropriate I/O

shield (figure 3).

System Memory Configuration

Memory Layout

The EP-MVP4F supports (2) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module).

The DIMMs can be either EDO (Extended Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized

DRAM). The DIMMs may be installed using just one chip.

• 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.

DIMM Module Installation

Figure 3 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 4) until it fits tightly into the

DIMM socket (figure 5).

Figure 3

Figure 5

DIMM Module clip after installation

To remove the DIMM module simply press down both of the white clips on

either side and the module will be released from the socket.
