It has the most flexibility that you can find in today's computer market. The motherboard integrates both Intel Pentium®II / Pentium®III & CeleronTM (Slot 1) processor and CeleronTM PPGA / Coppermine FC-PGA (Socket 370) processor interface into a standard ATX compatible system along with 3D Stereo Sound System audio chip and many other new feature that meets future specification. 1-2 Feature of Motherboard This motherboard is design for the PC user who wants highest possible quality and value in a small package. This motherboard include following main features 1-2-1 Overview · · · · Support both Slot 1 & Socket 370 CPU interface (You can only use one CPU interface at a time). Support Jump-less solution for setting Front Side Bus Frequency (CPU Host Clock) and CPU ratio under CPU Host/PCI clock of CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP. Conditionally support 133MHz * of Front Side Bus Frequency. This function allow user select CPU Bus Frequency by the BIOS to approach Over-Clock possibility. Provide PC Health Monitoring to track CPU temperature, system temperature, system voltage, and fan speed. When CPU current temperature is over CPU warning temperature, system will slow down automatically in order to reduce the CPU's temperature (Option for motherboard that embedded PC Health Chip only). Logo-DIY: Provide CBROM utility for user to create their own loge in the BIOS. Built in high quality PCI-Based HRTF 3D Extension Positional Audio Chip (Option for motherboard that embedded Audio Chip only) - Supports rear side speakers, C3DX positional audio in 4 channels speaker mode. - Professional digital audio interface to support 24-bit SPDIF IN and OUT (44.1K and 48K format). - HRTF-base 3D positional audio, supporting DirectSoundTM 3D and Aural A3DTM interface. - Digital functions that capable to provide hi-fi stereo, Dolby, 3D surround effects, and playing MP3 music. You can add our Optical kit (Optional) to connect any optical Input/Output device for super high quality sound transaction, such as playing & recording MD(Mini Disk)/CD; CD-ROM directly recording to MD; combine with DVD player to create a home theater system (This upgrade kit includes Optical Module, Optical Cable, and Software DVD Driver). · · · 1-2-2 Key Feature 1 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Multi-Speed Support Provide 66/75*/83*/95*/100/112*/117*/124*MHz Front Side Bus Frequency to support Intel Pentium®II / Pentium®III, Celeron processor for Slot 1 interface or Intel Celeron PPGA / Coppermine FC-PGA on a ZIP Socket 370 interface. Intel chipsetIntel's 440BX PCI/AGPset with I/O subsystems. DRAM Memory SupportSupport 3 x 168-pin DIMM sockets (3.3V) for memory from 8M Byte to 768M Byte in either EDO (66MHz only) or SDRAM (66MHz/100MHz) type module with ECC or parity check. AGP, ISA, and PCI expansion SlotsProvide an AGP slot, one 16-bit ISA slot, and four 32bit PCI master slots. Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-Speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. Two floppy drives of either 5.25" or 3.5" (1.44MB or 2.88MB) are also supported without an external card. PCI Bus Master IDE Controller and ULTRA DMA 33: On-board PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two channels, provides faster data transfer rates, and supports Enhanced IDE devices such as Tape Backup, CD-ROM, ZIP, LS-120 Drives. This controller also supports PIO Modes and Bus Master IDE DMA 33Mbyte/Second. ACPI supporting for OS Directed Power Management. Ring-In Wake up: When Ring-In the system can wake up from SMI Mode. Ring-In Power On: When Ring-In the system can power on automatic by this function. RTC Power On: Enabled RTC Power On function, you can set RTC alarm to power on the system at the time length that correspond to your setting. Power Button: Press the button will place the system power on/off. CPU fans auto-stopping with suspend mode. Support Software Power Off function. Power Support: Efficient PWM switching power instead of traditional Linear Voltage Regulator to prevent power component from being burned-out. PC 99 ready PS/2 Mouse: This motherboard support PS/2 mouse set. USB Port Connector: This motherboard supports two USB port connectors for USB devices. Optional IrDA: This motherboard supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface, with independent 3rd UART (32-byte FIFO). AGP: Accelerated Graphics Port, for to 533MB/sec data transfer rate and 66MHz Bus clock to improve graphic functions. ATX Form Factor: Dimensions 30.5cm x 19cm. * Your memory module(s) must be PC133 compliant SDRAM chips and specified or marked as 8ns or 6ns. * When you are running at 133MHz , make sure all of your PCI devices have enough tolerance to run on 44MHz . Otherwise, it may cause your system become very unstable. Chapter 2 2 Hardware Installation 2-1 Unpacking This mainboard package should contain the following: · · · · The mainboard USER'S MANUAL for mainboard Cable set for IDE x1, Floppy x1 CD for Drivers PACK The mainboard contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by electronstatic, 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 antistatic 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 the entire socket IC's to make sure that they are properly inserted. Do this only on with the board placed on a firm flat surface. Warning: Do not apply power to the board if it has been damaged. You are now ready to install your mainboard. matches the ATX system board. The mounting hole pattern on the mainboard It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a standard ATX main board mounting. Place the chassis on the anti-static mat and remove the cover. Take the plastic clips, Nylon stand-off and screws for mounting the system board, and keep them separate. 2-2 The Diagram of Mainboard 3 J3 MINI- DIN C PU FAN ATX PO W ER S L O T -1 JP2 PL1 JP 11 ON 1 2 3 4 D IM M D IM M D IM M U17 US J4 U11 COM1 PORT CPU ZIF 370 SOCKET J1 SLOT-1 COM2 COM2 J5 U9 J2 GAME LINEOUT 82C 443BX AGC MIC LINE- IN JP15 SYSFAN JP2 CMI8738 JP3 IR 1 B AG P JP 18 AG P1 ID E 2 ID E 1 JP14 S P K IN 1 S P D IF IN 1 S P D IF O U T JP4 U7 ID E 2 ID E 1 BT 1 FDD JP 1 FDD PC I PCI 1 PCI BATT.
