The Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor, like the Pentium® Pro processor, implements a Dynamic Execution micro-architecture -- a unique combination of multiple branch prediction, data flow analysis, and speculative execution. This enables the Pentium® II Processor to deliver higher performance than the Pentium® processor, while maintaining binary compatibility with all previous Intel architecture processors. A significant feature of the Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor, from a system perspective, is the built-in direct multiprocessing support. In order to achieve multiprocessing, and maintain the memory and I/O bandwidth to support it, new system designs are needed. For systems with dual processors, it is important to consider the additional power burdens and signal integrity issues of supporting multiple loads on a high speed bus. The Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor can supports both uni-processor and dual processor implementations. The Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor utilizes Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.) (Figure 1) cartridge packaging technology. The S.E.C. cartridge allows the L2 cache to remain tightly coupled to the processor, while maintaining flexibility when implementing high performance processors into OEM systems. The second level cache is performance optimized and tested at the cartridge level. The S.E.C. cartridge utilizes surface mounted core components and a printed circuit board with an edge finger connection. The S.E.C. cartridge package introduced on the Pentium® II Processor will also be used in future Slot 1 processors. The S.E.C. cartridge has the following features: a thermal plate, a cover and a PCB with an edge finger connection. The thermal plate allows standardized heatsink attachment or customized thermal solutions. The thermal plate enables a reusable heatsink to minimize fit issues for serviceability, upgradeability and replacement. The full enclosure also protects the surface mount components. The edge finger connection maintains socketabilty for system configuration. The edge finger connector is denoted as `Slot 1 connector' in this and other documentation. Page 1-2 MS7132A Introduction The entire enclosed product is called the Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor. The packaging technology and each of the physical elements of the product are referred to using accurate technical descriptions. This allows clear reference to the products as just a processor. This is the model used in past packaging technologies like PGA, TCP, PQFP, DIP, etc. S.E.C. Cartridge Terminology · Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor The new enclosed card packaging technology is called a "Single Edge Contact cartridge." This is similar to previous names for packaging technology such as PGA or TCP. · Processor card The green PCB (with or without components on it) · Processor core The silicon on the PLGA package on the PCB · Cover The plastic cover on the opposite side from the thermal plate. · Slot 1 The slot that the S.E.C. cartridge plugs into, just as the Pentium® Pro processor uses Socket 8. · Retention mechanism Formerly `retention module' the dual posts, etc. that holds the cartridge in place. · Thermal plate The heatsink attachment plate. · Heat sink supports The support pieces that are mounted on the mainboard to provide added support for heatsinks.

The Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor is the first product to utilize the S.E.C. cartridge technology and Slot 1 connector. Unless otherwise noted, any references to "Pentium® II Processor", "Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor/Slot 1 processor" or "Pentium® III Processor" will apply to both the Pentium® II Processor desktop processors. Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP or A.G.P.) Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers. Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures for quite sometime. Hardware Monitoring Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of fan. Page 1-4 MS7132A MS7132A Form-Factor Introduction The MS7132A is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of chassis. ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick, modem, LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs. · By integrating more I/O down onto the board and better positioning the hard drive and floppy connectors material cost of cables and add-in cards is reduced. By reducing the number of cables and components in the system, manufacturing time and inventory holding costs are reduced and reliability will increase. By using an optimized power supply, it's possible to reduce cooling costs and lower acoustical noise. An ATX power supply, which has a side-mounted fan, allows direct cooling of the processor and add-in cards making a secondary fan or active heatsink unnecessary in most system applications.

Please use the appropriate I/ O shield (figure 3). Joystick/Midi port parallel port PS/2 Mouse PS/2 KEYBOARD Figure 3: I/O back panel layout COM1 COM2 Speaker USB port Power-On/Off (Remote) Line_in MIC The MS7132A has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The systems power On/Off button should be a momentary button that is normally open. The MS7132A has been designed with "Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off the system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the MS7132A's onboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system. Windows 95/98 will control this when the user clicks that they are ready to Shutdown the system.
