Chapter 1 Introduction
The PowerPro VX have been especially designed for file server, workstation and
professional users. It can support a wide range of processors, including all up-to-date
Intel Pentium processors, AMD K5/K6 processors, and as well as Cyrix
6x86/6x86L/6x86MX processors. It also takes into account, as much as possible, all
future CPUs.
The PowerPro VX uses
SOFT MENU™ technology
, which means that all the
processor‘s parameters can be configured without using DIP switches or hardware
jumpers. The configuration is entirely achieved through a “Soft Switch” that allows the
user to set CPU speed and operating voltage with ease.
The PowerPro VX uses Intel 430VX series chip set with 512K Level-2 Pipeline
Burst SRAM on board. Two 168-pin DIMM slots meet the requirements for all memory
configurations required by higher level computing. The 168-pin DIMM slots support
fast page DRAM, EDO DRAM, and SDRAM for next generation 64-bit systems.
The PowerPro VX also provides two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports and meets
the Concurrent PCI Rev. 2.1 standard. It also supports IDE interface for Fast HDD
(Mode 0~4) and IDE Bus Master. These features also meet present and future interface
standards and needs.
System BIOS features include Plug-and-Play (PnP), Advanced Power
Management, as well as PowerPro VX’s unique CPU operating frequency and voltage
setup feature in order to meet modern computing demands.
