Overview 

 

Thank you for purchasing this 

DP6NS  SCSI  Motherboard

. This operation 

manual will guide you to proper configure and install. It has an overview of the 

engineer design and feature of this board. Also, this manual provides useful 
information for your later upgrade or change the configuration. Keep this for your 
future need.  
 

1.1 Featuress 

This DP6NS  SCSI Motherboa rd is the newest ATX  form fa ctor ba sed member to 
our  SCSI  Motherboa rd  fa milies.  It  incorpora ted  with  Intel  new  genera tion 
82440FX  Chipset  with  I/O  Adva nced  Progra mma ble  Interrupt  Controller  that 
supports  for  Dua l  Intel  Pentim  Pro  Processor  a nd Ada ptec new  PCI  Ultra   and 
Ultra  Wide SCSI using Ada ptec AIC-7880 which  is equivlent to AHA-2940UW  . 
 
 This  DP6NS  motherboa rd supports minimum of 8 Mbyte a nd mxa imum  of  768 

Mbyte while  Level-2   Ca che / Controller  included  in Pentium

 Pro Processor. In 

order  to support fully  plug  a nd pla y  I/O, a n 160 pin  Ultra   I/O chip tha t conta in 
floppy , two of the high speed seria l  ports, one ECP / EPP  printer  port, keyboard 
a nd rea l  time  clock  is  used for  users  to enjoy the plug  a nd pla y function. This 
SCSI motherboa rd ha s designed with ATX  form fa ctor to improve the ea sy a ccess 
memory module,  long  a dd-on ca rd support  a nd some of  the new  fea tures that
