2. Introduction
2.1. Overview
The high quality P6F132/133 is a high performance, enhanced func-
tion mainboard that supports 64-bit Intel FC-PGA, FC-PGA2, and
Pentium III/Cyrix Socket 370 processors. The P6F132/133is based
on the Intel
815E/EP B-Step chipset. Intel delivers superior high
performance with all the innovative features and proven reliability of
the Intel
815E/EP B-Step chipset family. Pin-to-pin compatible
with the Intel® 815E chipset, the 815EP chipset is a highly scalable
design for Intel® Pentium® III processor platforms.
The mainboard delivers comprehensive multi-media capabilities and
high-performance with an integrated AGP (Accelerated Graphics
Port) bus mastering EIDE (Enhanced IDE) controller, and concurrent
PCI bus. The mainboard accommodates SDRAM (Synchronous
DRAM) memory and supports ATA33/66/100.
The mainboard achieves the highest reliability by supporting ECC
(Error Checking and Correction) memory protection, enabling the
mainboard to achieve superior data integrity and fault-tolerance with
respect to memory errors while running applications.
In addition to superior hardware capabilities, features like bus mas-
tering EIDE driver, Plug and Play, Soft-off, APM (Advanced Power
Management), Keyboard Turn On, External Modem Ring On, Wake
On LAN (WOL), Watchdog timer wake up, Fan Off in sleeping state
and BIOS upgradability are provided with this platform.
