Chapter 1 Introduction
1-1 Main Board Overview
The main board is a new-generation PentiumÆ II and PentiumÆ III main board
based on VIA VT82C693/693A chipset. The main board
has integrated the latest
advances in processor, memory, I/O technologies into an ATX form factor.
The main board utilizes VIA 693/693A chipset designed for PentiumÆ II and
PentiumÆ III CPUs and supports new architects such as high-speed AGP graphic
port, SDRAM, Ultra DMA/66, bus master IDE and USB port. It has three Dual
In-line Memory Modules (DIMM) which can be installed with SDRAM memory
. The memory subsystem supports up to either 384 MB ( SDRAM) or 384 MB
(EDO RAM). The main board using the Slot 1 socket, accepts IntelÆ PentiumÆ
II (66/100 MHz) & PentiumÆ III(100/133 MHz) processors. Built-in second
level (L2) cache in CPU, there is no cache necessary in this system board.
The main board has implemented VIA VT82C686A high performance I/O
Controller utilizes with fully Plug and Play device which supports 2.88 MB
Floppy, Dual 16550 Compatible (with 16 bytes FIFO, up to 460K baud rate)
Serial Port, ECP (Enhanced Capabilities Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port)
parallel port, Infrared IrDA (HPSIR), Amplitude Shift Keyed IR. (ASKIR) port
and Audio.
The main board supports 4*PCI, 2*ISA, 1*A.G.P and 1*AMR. (three PCI Bus
Mastering slots & 1 PCI Bus Slave slot) for highest performance I/O add-on
adapter cards.
