Introduction
Overview
The KinetiZ 7T green mainboard utilizes the VIA Apollo KT-133 chipset, providing a cost-
effective PC/ATX platform with perfect capability and high performance to support Socket
A AMD
®
Duron
TM
/Athlon
TM
processors. The VIA
®
VT686A chipset integrates software
configurable AC’97 audio gives customers an advanced, multimedia solution at an ex-
tremely low price, also the KinetiZ K7T mainboard integrates Creative CT5880 PCI hardware
sound(Optional) to provide high quality 3D surrounding sound effect. The VIA
®
KT-133
chipset provide some new features such as AGP 4X mode and Ultra-Fast 200MHz FSB.
Equipped with three memory module sockets, 1.5GB PC66/100/133MHz SDRAM and PC100/
133 ECC or non-ECC SDRAM DIMMs can be supported. It also provides advanced features
such as wake-up on LAN and wake-up on internal/external modem function. Suspend to
RAM, the optimal implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface(ACPI)
specification, makes the PC’s power consumption drop to the lowest possible level and
enable quick wakeup. ManageEasy, our system management application is also supplied to
enable remote monitoring and configuration of the system.
