CHAPTER 1.
INTRODUCTION
The MB-X62 Series is a Duel Pentium III ATX Mainboard specifically designed for
Socket 370 with VGA/DVI, three 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports as well as dual-channel
ultra 160 SCSI interface. With VIA 694X/686A chipsets, MB-X62 Series supports Ultra
DMA-33/66 for faster hard drive transmission speeds and contains health monitoring
hardware. The health monitoring IC keeps an eye on the CPU and releases an audio
alarm when detecting abnormal operating voltage & temperature or malfunction of the
cooling fans. For boosting operation, this motivated card also supports sockets for a
Flash Disk and four DIMMs.
Other on-board features include two serial ports (RS-232 and RS-232/422/485), one
multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, a floppy drive controller, a keyboard interface
and a PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both
PIO and bus master modes. Supporting up to two floppy disks, this board also can
connect up to four IDE devices, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup
drives and other IDE devices. Its 6-layer printed circuit board combined with
noise-tolerant and low power consumption CMOS technology allow the MB-X62 Series
to withstand many harsh industrial environments.
MB-X62 Series is a high power & full engine mainboard with an AGP display of
resolution up to 1600x1200 at 256 colors. Carefully designed to be a feature-rich
mainboard at a reasonable price, this board elegantly meets industry needs and saves
time and money by waiving the hassle of going through the extra effort and cost of
additional I/O cards. Being standards-compliant, it is proved to be a quality product with
high performance and stability in a long run.
