Handling Procedures
Static electricity can severely damage your equipment. Handle the EP-MVP3G-
M/2/5 and any other device in your system with extreme care and avoid unneces-
sary 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-MVP3G-M/2/5 mainboard that results from failure to
follow instruction or failure to observe safety precautions.
CAUTION
* The EP-MVP3G-M/2/5 mainboard is subject to damage by static electricity.
Always observe the handling procedures.
*
We strongly recommend power source “OFF” while installation, or plug-in
power cable or plug power supply into onboard power connector at last step.

Introduction EP-MVP3G-M/2/5

EP-MVP3G-M/2/5 Form Factor
The EP-MVP3G-M/2/5 is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry
standard of chassis. The ATX 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. ATX 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-MVP3G-M/2/5 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-MVP3G-M/2/5 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-
MVP3G-M/2/5’s onboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operat-
ing 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-MVP3G-M/2/5 is equipped with an I/O back panel.Please use the appro-
priate I/O shield (figure 3).

System Memory Configuration
Memory Layout
The EP-MVP3G-M/2/5 supports (3) 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.
Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations using both
SIMM and DIMM.
* SDRAM only supports 8, 16, 32, 64, 128MB DIMM modules.
* We recommend to use PC100 Memory Module for bus speed between
66MHz and 100MHz.
* Using non-compliant memory with higher bus speed (over clocking) may
severely compromise the integrity of the system.

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).

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.
