2-1 Motherboard Description
The motherboard is designed with the Intel 82440LX PCI chipset
which is developed by Intel Corporation to fully support the
Pentium II Processor PCI/ISA system. The Intel 82440LX PCI chipset
provides increased integration and improved performance designs.
The chipset provides an integrated IDE controller with two high
performance IDE interfaces for up to four IDE devices (hard devices,
CD-ROM device, etc). The Super I/O controller provides the standard
PC I/O function: floppy interface, two 16Byte FIFO serial ports and
EPP/ECP capable parallel port.
Care must be taken when inserting memory modules, inserting CPU
or even plugging PCI card into associated slots to avoid damaging any
circuits or sockets on board. A cooling fan is strongly recommended.
The motherboard supports minimum of 8MB of system memory and a
maximum of 512MB SDRAM, 1GB EDO RAM.
The motherboard supports standard Fast Page (FP), EDO (Extended
Data Output), or SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM). The motherboard
provides three 168-pin DIMM. The socket supports 1Mx32 (32MB)
single-sided or double-sided memory modules. The memory timing
requires 70ns Fast Page devices or 60ns EDO RAM. Memory parity
generation and checking is not supported. (DRAM Modules may be
parity (x36) or non-parity (x32).
The board also supports onboard two PCI IDE connectors, and detects
the IDE hard disk type by the BIOS utility which is automatic. The
system also supports Award Plug & Play BIOS for the ISA and PCI
cards.
