The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports an AGP port. The main purpose of the AGP port is to provide fast access to system memory. The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs. 32bits at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and side band addressing. When the 2x-data rate is used the port can transmit data at 533MB/sec (66.6*2*4). The read-queue can be used to pipeline reads ­ removing the effects of the reads-latency. Side band addressing can be used to transmit the data address on a separate line in order to speed up the transaction. 1-6 6GXU 2. SPECIFICATION 2.1.

UNPACKING The mainboard package should contain the following: · The 6GXU mainboard. · The Retention Mechanism & Attach Mount · USER'S MANUALS for mainboard & SCSI device. · Cable set for IDE, Floppy, SCSI & I/O devices. · Diskettes and CD for Mainboard Utility. · External LVD port adapter. The mainboard contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed. Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat. Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board before proceeding. After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for damage. Press down on all of the socket IC's to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this only on with the board placed on a firm flat surface. M DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED. 3-1 Hardware Installation 3.2.
