1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
This Mainboard is a high performance Pentium™ II personal computer mainboard with
66MHz ultra high Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency. It is an AT form-factor mainboard
with A.G.P. (Accelerated Graphics Port) and PCI Local Bus on board, Designed based
on the Intel® 82440EX or 82440LX AGPset™ system chipset.
When the 440LX chipset is installed on the board, it will be the Pentium
TM
II LX
mainboard. When the chipset on the mainboard is 440EX, it will become Pentium
TM
II
EX mainboard. The difference between LX and EX on this mainboard is LX mainboard
supports ECC feature in the memory subsystem, while EX board doesn’t.
The Winbond® I/O chipset is built on the board and it has built-in two channel “PIO”
and “Ultra DMA/33 Bus Master” mode PCI IDE ports, one Floppy Disk control port,
two high speed Serial ports (UARTs) and one multi-mode Parallel port and supports
PS/2™ mouse, IR and USB ports. It is designed to fit a high performance Pentium™ II
or Celeron™ processor 233 MHz, 266 MHz, 300 MHz, 333MHz and up to 366MHz
based solution for high-end and true GREEN-PC computer systems.
The Pentium™ II or Celeron™ Processor is a 64-bit processor with RISC technology,
which offers several key features such as built-in 128/256KB/512KB L2 cache (some
Celeron does not have L2 cache), 12-stage super-pipeline architecture, out of order
execution .... etc. In order to optimize of its performances, the 32-bit Operating System
(such as Windows® NT and OS/2™) and 32-bit applications are recommended.
The Accelerated Graphics Port (A.G.P.) on the mainboard is designed for AGP 3D
video display card. Unlike PCI-based display cards, the AGP technology provides
lightning data throughput to fully facilitate the 3-Dimensional and multimedia graphics
display. The data transfer rate on AGP can be up to 133Mhz and which is much faster
than the traditional 33MHz PCI VGA card.
The AGP is a new video display technology and it requires device driver or new
Operating System to enable this accelerated graphic feature. Windows® 98 supports
AGP directly but Windows® 95 still need the appropriate device drivers to support
AGP feature. Please don’t worry about the device driver, because you can always find
the device driver included in the AGP card.

2.2 AMAZING WAYS TO POWER ON THE PC SYSTEM
You can connect either AT or ATX power supply to this mainboard. When the ATX
power supply is connected, there are many ways to power on the system. Please read
the following description for all the details.
POWER BUTTON
The power button on the front panel is not only for power-on and power-off the PC
system. It can programmed by COMS setup program and it has different features.
Please refer to Section 3-2 (page 3-14, 3~15) for the detail of function description.
¨ RTC ALARM
PC system can be waked up by the RTC setting in the CMOS. You can set the
alarming date and time in the RTC memory, When RTC alarms, the PC system will
be triggered and wakes up automatically.
Enable the “Resume by Alarm” selection in the BIOS setup utility, and then input
the accurate date and time in following fields. (the “Resume by Alarm” is located in
the “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, please refer to Section 4-7), Having
stored the RTC alarm setting, the PC system will be turned on automatically
according to the date and time which is recorded in the CMOS memory.
When you have finished the BIOS setting, you have to reboot the PC system and
wait for the POST (Power On Self Test) is completed to enable the RTC alarm.
¨ MODEM RING-IN
Everyone knows that a PC system can be used as a fax machine to send or receive
fax messages. But most people still use fax machine to receive their messages
because it is not practical to have the system powered on all day long waiting for
the incoming messages. Now the problem can be solved by using this mainboard. It
can be triggered by a modem ring-in signal. When you have a external modem
installed, you can leave the PC system power off. Whenever there is the incoming
message, the PC system will be triggered by the ring-in signal and wake up
automatically to receive the message for you. From now on, you can tell your PC
system to receive the fax message for you.
440EX/LX AT MAINBOARD INSTALLATION
2-3
In order to use the ring-in signal to wake up your PC system, you will have to use
the EXTERNAL MODEM and have it connected to one of the SERIAL PORTS
( COMA or COM B ). When the system power is off, this mainboard will continue
to detect the serial port status. When it detects the ring-in signal from the serial
port, the system power will be turned on and start to receive the incoming messages
automatically. ( you need to have the software like Award Zero-Volt Data-Suspend
Utility so that you can use the fax utility to receive the incoming fax message ).
To enable the Modem Ring-In feature, you have to run the BIOS setup utility and
enable the “Resume by Ring or LAN” option (it is located in the “POWER
MANAGEMENT SETUP”, please refer to Section 4-7 for the settings). Having
completed the BIOS setup, you have to reboot the PC system so that BIOS can
verify the setting. (the “DMI pool data” will be verified by the BIOS when loading
the operating system). Simply speaking, shut down the PC system and then re-start
the system. The modem ring-in feature will be enabled when the operation system
has been loaded.
Note: This function is not available when using the internal MODEM card.
¨ WAKE ON LAN ( WOL )
There is a WOL connector CN14 (see Section 3-2) on the mainboard which is
designed to connect to the signal from a LAN card which supports the Wake On
LAN feature. When such LAN card is installed, you may turn on the PC system
from your remote server and monitor the PC status.
To enable this feature, you will have to use the BIOS setup utility to enable the
“Resume by Ring or LAN” (it is located at “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”,
please refer to Section 4-7 for the settings). Having completed the BIOS setup, you
have to reboot the PC system so that BIOS can verify the setting. ( the “DMI pool
data” will be verified by the BIOS when loading the operating system). Simply
speaking, reboot the PC system, the Wake On LAN feature will be enabled when the
operation system has been loaded
Note: This function will be disabled if you turn off the power before the system
can verify the DMI pool data.

2.3 POWER OFF THE PC SYSTEM
1. When ATX power supply is connected.
There are two ways to power off the system. They are “Shut Down by Power
Button” and “ Shut Down by OS”. (such as Windows® 95 and Windows® 98,
you can choose the Shut Down from the file menu and the system will be
powered off immediately ).
2. When AT power supply is connected.
You can not use the OS to shut down the PC system, you can only use the power
button (PW switch) to turn the system power off.

3. HARDWARE SETUP
Before you can start to install this mainboard, some hardware settings is required to
make sure it will work perfectly with the component which you are going to install in
your PC system. To configure this mainboard is a simple task, only a few jumpers,
connectors, cables and sockets needs to be selected and configured. (For the detailed
locations of each component please refer to page 1-2 “ mainboard layout” )
3.1 INSTALLING THE DRAM MODULES
This mainboard supports 168-pin DIMM sockets, each DIMM can be single-bank or
double-bank It supports two types of DRAM memory and they are either the Extended
Data Out (EDO) or Synchronous (SDRAM) memory. (Both Symmetrical and
Asymmetrical DRAM addressing are supported.) Please note the DIMM modules
suggested on the mainboard must be 3.3V, un-buffered and DRAMs‘ speed must be
either 60ns or 50ns,.
This mainboard has the new technology called SPD (Serial Presence Detect) designed
in the DRAM subsystem. SPD will be available in the future and it is designed to make
system more stabile and compatible. If the DIMM module with this technology is
populated on the mainboard, the system BIOS will gather some information (such as
DRAM type, size, access timing ... etc.) stored in the DIMM module and then BIOS
will determine what operating parameters will be used for the individual populated
DIMM module automatically.
