Introduction EP-V370Y

EP-V370Y Form-Factor
The EP-V370Y is designed with MicroATX form factor - the new industry standard
of chassis. The 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 expan-
sion 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.

Power-On/Off (Remote)
The EP-V370Y has a single 20-pin connector for MicroATX power supplies. For
MicroATX/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-V370Y 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 the
button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the EP-V370Y’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.

FEATURES
EP-V370Y Features:
EP-V370Y is based on the Mendocino
®
Processor operating at 300 ~
433MHz (66MHz) on PPGA 370 socket. The board is configured by a
Jumper to match your CPU clock speed.
Designed with VIA APOLLO PRO+ 693/596A AGPset.
Supports up to 256 Mega of DRAM (minimum of 16 MB) on board, You can
use 168-pin DIMM x 2. It will automatically detect Extended Data Output
(EDO) DRAM or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM) at 66MHz (please
see Section 3-2).
EP-V370Y will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when
using paritys DRAM memory modules. No Reqistered DIMM Support.
Supports (1) 16 bit ISA slots, (3) 32 bit PCI slots, (1) AGP slot and provides
(2) independent high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting
PIO Mode 3/4 and Ultra DMA 33 devices. The EP-V370Y supports (3)
PCI Bus Master slots and a jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which
reduces configuration confusion when plugging in PCI card(s).
Supports ATAPI (e.g. CD-ROM) devices on both Primary and Secondary
IDE interfaces.

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).
