HARDWARE SETUP
A.
UNPACKING
The system board package should contain the following parts :
The PT-6IFB system board.
OPERATION MANUAL.
Cable set for IDE and Floppy device.
A.
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
Before the system board is ready to operate, the hardware must be configured to allow
for various functions within the system. To configure the PT-6IFB system board is a
simple task, only a few jumpers, connectors, cables and sockets needs to be selected and
installed. (For the detailed locations of each component please refer to page 3-1 "system
board layout" figure )

DRAM INSTALLATION
The PT-6IFB system board will support four banks main memory on board (bank0 :
SIMM1, SIMM2. bank1 : SIMM3, SIMM4. bank2 : SIMM5, SIMM6. Bank3 : SIMM7,
SIMM8), each bank could be single-sided or double-sided, 8MB up to 1024 MB of
local memory can be attained. It supports three types of DRAM memory either standard
fast page mode (FPM), Extended Data Out (EDO) or Burst Extended Data Out (BEDO)
memory. (Both Symmetrical and Asymmetrical DRAM addressing are supported.)
DRAM bank can be populated in any order (in other words, bank 0 does not have to be
populated before bank 1). Within any given bank, two SIMMs must be same size.
Among the two banks, SIMMs' densities could be mixed in any order. EDO, FPM and
BEDO DRAMs could be mixed between Banks, a given SIMM must contain only one
type of DRAM. When DRAM types are mixed, each SIMM runs optimized for that
particular type of DRAM.
The speed of FPM DRAMs must be used 70ns or faster than 70ns, the speed of EDO
DRAMs and BEDO DRAMs must be used 60ns or faster than 60ns.
