3.3V Memory Module Sockets (DIMM)
The Mainboard provides 168 pin standard DIMM sockets for
installation of 3.3V unbuffered Single or Double Bank SDRAM
modules.
G
Serial COM1, Serial COM2 & Parallel Port Connector
The ATX Mainboard provides two serial port connectors and
one parallel port connector. Based on the ATX standard, (2)
9-pin serial ports and (1) 25-pin parallel port are now built on
the mainboard back panel. This design makes the mainboard
installation easier. The parallel port can be BIOS configured
into standard (SPP) mode, Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) mode,
and a high speed Extended capabilities Port (ECP) mode. EPP
Mode requires a driver provided by the peripheral manufacturer
in order to operate properly.
The Micro ATX Mainboard provides a 10-pin serial port pin
Header for COM2 Cable is now built on the mainboard.
H
Accelerated Graphics Port [AGP] Connector
The Mainboard provides an AGP slot compatible with the
Accelerated Graphics Port specification. AGP compliant video
cards offer a much higher throughput than equivalent PCI bus
video cards. PCI currently only supports a 33 MHz bandwidth,
and can transport at peak rates up to 133MB/s over its 32
bit data bus. AGP operates at a 66 MHz bandwidth which
enables a peak rate of 266 MB/s in what is known as 'X1'
mode. Using 'X2' mode, the peak transport rate can go as
high as 532 MB/s.
I LITHIUM BATTERY
A 3V, CR2032, Lithium battery is installed on the on-board
battery socket. This battery is used to supply the CMOS
RAM backup power during system powered-off. Danger of
explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Therefore, if you
have any difficulties, please consult the technical personnel.
