Introduction
Overview
The GeniuX 4 is a highly integrated, high performance mainboard designed for mid-range
and higher-end servers and workstations. It is centered on the Intel® 440GX AGPset and
supports two Intel Pentium® II Xeon™
processors. It supports up to 2GB of ECC memory, 6
PCI slots (1 ISA shared) and 7 cooling fans for a high reliability architecture. It also provides
advanced features such as wake -up on LAN, wake-up on internal/external modem, key-
board password power-on function and SecurityEasy function. Together with its integrated
Intel 82558 LAN and integrated Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra 2 SCSI, you get a powerful system
for critical business server applications.
