Features of This Motherboard The SE6 Motherboard is designed for use with Intel's new generation of Pentium II & III Processors, which utilize the FC-PGA (Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array), 370-pin design. Up to 512MB of memory can be supported. The SE6 uses the new Intel 815E chipset. Its 133MHz capable memory interface supports the wide range of PC 133 memory devices now on the market. Its 133MHz capable front-side bus delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of 133MHz processors. The SE6 offers Ultra ATA/100. This provides speedier HDD throughput that boosts overall system performance. Up to four IDE devices can be supported by your system. These devices can be Ultra ATA/33, Ultra ATA/66 or Ultra ATA/100 IDE devices. A Digital Video Out Interface supporting digital display and TV Out are options. The SE6 also has an integrated AC'97 2.1 CODEC onboard. This CODEC is complete with a H/W Sound Blaster Pro AC'97 digital audio controller that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility. The chipset includes integrated 2X 3D Graphics Acceleration. For those wanting even greater graphics performance, an AGP slot is included on the board. The AGP Slot will support a 4MB display cache AGP In-line Memory Module (AIMM). AIMM is a lower cost alternative to a video card. With 2 USB ports as well as capability of expanding to 4 USB slots, the SE6 meets future USB demands. A Communication / Network Riser Slot (CNR Slot) is found on the SE6. The CNR Slot provides audio, modem and network connectivity. The specification's main objective is to reduce the cost of audio and modem functionality. The SE6 has built-in hardware monitoring functions (refer to Appendix M for detailed information). This will monitor and protect your computer, ensuring a safe computing environment. This motherboard provides high performance for servers while also meeting the requirements for desktop systems; both now and into the future. 1-2. Specifications 1. CPU !

Installing the Motherboard This SE6 motherboard not only provides all standard equipment for classic personal computers, but also provides great flexibility for meeting future upgrade demands. This chapter will introduce step by step all of the standard equipment and will also present, as completely as possible, future upgrade capabilities. This motherboard is able to support Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors now on the market. (For details, see specifications in Chapter 1.) This chapter is organized according the following features: 2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 Installing the Motherboard to the Chassis Installation of the Pentium III / Celeron CPU Installing System Memory Connectors, Headers and Switches &&&& Before Proceeding with the Installation &&&& Before you install or unplug any connectors or add-on cards, please remember to turn the ATX power supply switch off (fully turn the +5V standby power off), or disconnect the power cord. Otherwise, you may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or be damaged. User Friendly Instructions Our objective is to enable the novice computer users to perform the installation by themselves. We have attempted to write this document in a very clear, concise and descriptive manner to help overcome any obstacles you may face during installation. Please read our instructions carefully and follow them step-bystep. 2-1. Installing the Motherboard to the Chassis Most computer chassis will have a base on which there will be many mounting holes that allows the motherboard to be securely attached and at the same time, prevents short circuits. There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the base of chassis: ! with studs ! or with spacers Figure 2-1 shows the shape of studs and spacers. There may be several types, but all look similar. In principle, the best way to attach the motherboard is with studs. Only if you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Take a careful look at the motherboard and you will see many mounting holes on it. Line these holes up with the mounting holes on the base. If the holes line up and there are screw holes this means you can attach the motherboard with studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots, this means you can only attach the motherboard with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the motherboard into position aligned with the slots. After the motherboard has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the casing back on. Figure 2-2 shows you the way to affix the motherboard using studs or spacers. User's Manual 2-2 Chapter2 Note: If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not despair, you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacers may be a little hard to cut, so mind your fingers). In this way, you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Som ...
