Introduction
The Super I/O chip W83977ATF integrates two high-speed serial ports, one
parallel port, FIR/Speaker Independent (Voice) Recongition (IR) interface, 8042
keyboard controller with PS/2 mouse ports and FDD interface. The parallel port
supports SPP,EPP, and ECP.
The Aviant BX Socket 370 contains a Watchdog Timer
(WDT) enabled by jumper
settings and triggered by software, and a M-systems Flash disk. An advanced
feature is used on the Aviant BX Socket 370 to support the detection of CPU
temperature. The CPU operation is automatically forced to slow down when
overheating occurs. Refer to Chapter 4, “BIOS Setup Information”.
The onboard PCI device, graphics display port, is powered by the C & T 69000
graphics accelerator. Another onboard PCI device, the LAN port, powered by Intel
82559 10/100 Ethernet Controller, supports a Fast Ethernet interface through a
RJ-45 port.
