Overview of EP-GXB-M features
• EP-GXB-M is based on the Dual Pentium
®
II Xeon Processor operating at 400-
550 MHz (100MHz) on Slot 2. The board is configured by an Easy-Setting-Single-
Jumper (E.S.S.J.) to match your CPU clock speed.
• Designed with Intel’s 82443GX AGPset.
• Supports up to 2 Gigabyte of SDRAM (minimum of 16 MB) on board. You can
use 168-pin SDRAM DIMM x 4 (please see page 26).
• EP-GXB-M will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using parity
SDRAM memory modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and correct 1-bit
memory errors.
• Supports (2) 16 bit ISA slots, (5) 32 bit PCI slots, (1) AGP slot and provides (2)
independent high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO
Mode 3/4 and Ultra DMA 33 devices. The EP-GXB-M supports (5) PCI Bus
Master slots and a jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces configura-
tion confusion when plugging in PCI card(s).
• Supports ATAPI (e.g. CD-ROM) devices on both Primary and Secondary IDE
interfaces.
• Designed with Winbond W83977 Multi I/O: (1) floppy port, (1) parallel port (EPP,
ECP), and (2) serial ports (16550 Fast UART), (1) IrDA.
Note: Japanese “Floppy 3 mode” is also supported
• Includes a PS/2 mouse connector.
• Allows use of a PS/2 or AT keyboard (with optional adapter).
• Features Award Plug & Play BIOS easy flash upgradability.
