Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instructions contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio and television communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- RE-ORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA

- INCREASE THE SEPARA TION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RECEIVER

- CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE RECEIVER

- CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED AUDIO/TELEVISION TECHNICIAN

NOTE: Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class

B requirements, or using an unshielded peripheral data cable, could also result in harmful interference to radio or television reception.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is necessary to use shielded I/O cables.

While every precaution has been taken in the preparation of this manual, no responsibility for errors or omissions is assumed. Neither is any liability assumed for damages resulting from the use of the information contained herein.

Note to User

This manual is for use with both versions with or without the DIMM socket. If your motherboard does not have a DIMM socket, ignore the DIMM socket on motherboard layout and the respective DIMM configurations.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

The Intel® 430TX Pentium® PCI motherboard is based on the Intel® 430TX BGA Chipset. The chipset is a highly integrated solution for a cost-effective and compact motherboard. Features on-board include super-I/O, PCI bus master IDE(support ultra DMA 33MB/Sec), PCI Ver 2.1 compliance, USB, support of Pentium CPUs running at 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 166, 180, 200, 233MHz, Cyrix 6x86 CPUs AMD K5 and AMD K6 processors. DIMM and SIMM sockets are provided onboard, allowing flexible installation of main memory. The onboard pipelined burst cache further boosts the system performance.
