Integrated I/O
The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and connectors. The I/O
template on the backplane includes two PS/2 ports for a mouse
and keyboard, one serial port, one VGA port, one parallel port, one
MIDI/game port, two USB ports and audio jacks for microphone,
line-in and line-out. The mainboard has headers for the optional in-
stallation of an IR port. An extra COM port can be connected using
an extension bracket. The mainboard includes two IDE channels
and a floppy disk drive interface.
Programmable Firmware
The mainboard includes BIOS that allows firmware setting of
CPU parameters. The fully programmable firmware enhances
the system features and allows users to set items such as power
management, CPU and memory timing, and modem wake-up
alarms. The firmware can also be used to set parameters for
different processor clock speeds so that you don’t need to
change mainboard jumpers and switches.
This concludes Chapter 1. The next chapter covers installing
and building a working system.
