    Connect processor fan: This process is executed more quickly if your CPU already has a fan attached to it. On the VD133 motherboard, there are three fan connectors, J39 for FAN1 (for the CPU), J40 for FAN2, and J41 for FAN3.
  • Page 21 3.3.2 Setting CPU speed The CPU speed is setup using IWILL Smart Setting. This is found in the BIOS setup by pressing <Del> during the boot up process. Please refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on setting CPU speed. When adjusting frequency, select the frequency that matches your motherboard's bus speed in order to maximize your motherboard's performance.
  • Page 22 The VD133 motherboard’s main memory can run at different speeds than the FSB (Front Side Bus). For example, if your FSB runs at 133MHz, you may select a memory speed of 100MHz or 133MHz. Or, if your FSB runs at 100MHz, you may select a memory speed of 100MHz or 133MHz. Please see Chapter 4, section 4.5.3 DRAM Clock for DRAM Clock settings.
  • Page 23 Supports a maximum of 127 physical devices Supports data transfer rate up to 12 Mbit/sec The VD133 motherboard has two USB ports; any USB peripheral can be connected to either port. For more than two USB devices, connect a hub to either port.

  • Page 26 3.3.14 Clear CMOS jumper block (JP1) To reset the RTC (Real Time Clock) CMOS data, take the JP1 jumper cap off pins 1-2, place onto pins 2-3, and then place back onto pins 1-2 again. This will return the RTC to the default setting. Then, you will need to get into the BIOS setup program (See Chapter 4) select LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS, and select the original manufacturer default settings in your CMOS.
  • Page 27 The VD133 is PCI Rev2.1 compliant, and has five 32-bit, 33MHz PCI expansion slots for your PCI expansion cards. You may use your 64-bit PCI host adapter on VD133, however the PCI host adapter would only run a 32-bit data transfer rate. Select any of the 5 PCI slots, and connect your PCI expansion cards into the PCI expansion slots.
  • Page 28 33 MHz Warning: Each time you change the FSB frequency using the jumper setting, you must immediately re-enter BIOS setup, and enter IWILL Smart Setting (See Chapter 4). Then, immediately press <F10> key to exit, then restart your system. 3.3.23 PS/2 Power-On (J52) This is essential for the PS/2 Power-On to function properly (see below).
  • Page 29 3.3.25 Adjustable Vcore (JP9) This function offers adjustable processor Vcore. When NO jumper caps are used, the motherboard automatically generates the proper Vcore voltage that requested by the CPU. Place the jumper cap over pins 1-2 to increase 5% more voltage to the processor’s Vcore. Place the jumper cap over pins 2-3 to increase 10% more voltage to the processor’s Vcore.
