System Board
1.1Features
The M19A is a dual-processor system board built on an ATX
baseboard utilizing two Intel Pentium II processors running at
333/66, 350/100, 400/100, or 450/100 MHz. It is integrated with the
Intel 440BX system controller, which consists of the PCI/AGP
controller and the PCI/ISA IDE accelerator (PIIX4).
The PCI/AGP controller host bus interface supports a Pentium II
processor with 66 or 100 MHz bus frequency. It also provides a 72-bit
DRAM that supports synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) DIMMs. The
PCI/AGP controller introduces a new technology, which is the
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) interface. Supporting up to
133 MHz data transfer rate, the AGP interface boosts graphics
performance.
The PIIX4 is a multifunctional PCI device controller implementing
system functions including PCI IDE, universal serial bus (USB)
host/hub, and enhanced power management. It also supports Ultra
DMA/33 synchronous DMA-compatible devices.
The four DIMM sockets on board allow memory upgrade to a
maximum of 512 MB and supports 72-bit DRAM using synchronous
DRAM (SDRAM) DIMMs.
System Board1-1
A 50-pin Fast SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) and a 68-pin
Wide SCSI comes with the system board to connect SCSI devices.
Wide SCSI supports 32-bit transfers while fast SCSI uses a 16-bit bus
that doubles the clock rate to support data rates of 40 Mb/s.
The M19A system board also supports the USB (Universal Serial
Bus) connector, and other standard features such as two UART
NS16C550 serial ports, one enhanced parallel port with Enhanced
Parallel Port (EPP)/Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) feature, a
diskette drive interface, and two embedded hard disk interfaces. The
board also includes a built-in 10/100 Mb/s Intel 82558 LAN chip that
supports Wake-On-LAN (WOL).
The system supports the power-management function that conforms
to the power-saving standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers the Plug-and-Play
feature. This feature saves the user from configuration troubles, thus
making the system more user-friendly. The system board supports
two optional features, ASM Pro and Remote Diagnostic
Management (RDM), that allow better server management. The ASM
Pro detects problems in CPU thermal condition, CPU working voltage
detection (±12V/±5V/3.3V/1.5V), and PCI bus utilization calculation.
It also detects if the CPU fan or the chassis fan malfunctions. RDM
allows execution of the RDM diagnostic program from a remote RDM
station to fix detected problems or to reboot the system.
The system is fully compatible with MS-DOS V6.X, DOS/V, IBM OS/2
Warp, Novell Netware, Novel SFT III, SCO UNIX, Windows NT and
Windows 95 operating systems.

1.5ESD Precautions
Always observe the following electrostatic discharge (ESD)
precautions before installing a system component:
1.Do not remove a component from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it.
2.Wear a wrist grounding strap before handling electronic
components. Wrist grounding straps are available at most
electronic component stores.
Do not attempt the procedures described in
the following sections unless you are a
qualified technician.

1.6Installing the Pentium II processor
The following section will briefly explain and illustrate how to install
the Pentium II processor.
You have to attached the heat sink and fan
before installing the Pentium II processor into
the system board.
1.6.1Attaching the Processor Heat Sink and Fan
The Pentium II processor module comes with holes on one side to
hold the clips of the heat sink and fan. The upper set of holes (near
the latches) on the processor are wider and should match the wider
ends of the clips on the heat sink. The lower set of holes are smaller
and should match the narrow ends of the heat sink clips.
Wide Clip Ends

Narrow Holes
Figure 1-3Matching the Fan-Heat Sink Clips with the Holes on
the Processor
1-10User’s Guide
Follow these steps when installing the heat sink and fan into the
Pentium II processor module:
1.Remove the thermal tape protector at the back of the heat sink.
2.Insert the wide clip ends into the wide holes on the processor and
the narrow clip ends into the narrow holes.
Figure 1-4Inserting the Clip Ends into the Processor Holes
3.Use a screwdriver to press and lock in the wide end of a clip first.
Then without lifting the screwdriver, point it downward to press
and lock the narrow end of the clip. See Figures 5 and 6 for the
illustration of this step.

1.6.2Installing a Pentium II Processor
Follow these steps to install the Pentium II processor to the socket on
the CPU board.
1.Place the retention mechanism over the processor socket on the
CPU board. Secure it with the screws that came with the
package.
Figure 1-7Installing the processor’s Retention Mechanism
2.With the processor module golden fingers pointing downward,
align the processor to the posts of the retention mechanism then
lower it down. See Figure 1-8.
The golden fingers of the Pentium II module
are slotted such that it only fits in one
direction. Make sure that the module groove
matches the one on the processor socket.
