1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW

This mainboard is the AT form-factor with A.G.P. (Accelerated Graphics Port) and PCI Local Bus on board, designed based on the SiS5600, SiS5595 system chipset. It is a high performance Pentium™ II personal computer mainboard with 100MHz ultra high Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency. It is designed for the high performance Pentium™ II or Celeron™ processor 233 MHz, 266 MHz, 300 MHz, 333MHz, 366MHz, 400MHz, 450MHz and up to 500MHz. (The clock ratio selectable can be up to 8X on the board.)

The jumper-free feature is designed on the board and you don't have to make any jumper or switch setting when installing the CPU. For example, when you are installing the CPU onto the mainboard, the system board will detect the CPU type and decide the proper Voltage. As for the CPU frequency, you can choose to have the system board detect the CPU type and decide the frequency for you, or you may use the BIOS setup program to select the CPU clock by yourself.

Two channels “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 are built on the board..

The Pentium™ II and Celeron™ Processor are the 64-bit processors with RISC technology, which offer 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.

2.2 AMAZING WAYS TO POWER ON THE PC SYSTEM

Basically, 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 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 for the detail of function description.

¨ KEYBOARD PASSWORD (optional)

This mainboard allows you to enter your personal password and you can use it to

power on your system. When the system power is off, This mainboard has the stand-by 5V voltage active and it will keep scanning the keyboard status waiting for the correct password input to turn on the system power. ( you will see the Keyboard LED lights when system power is off, it is because the standby 5V is still active.)

When the “Password” is "enabled" in the system BIOS, you will have to reboot the PC system to activate the setting, when you see the POST (Power On Self Test) is completed, the setting is changed and stored in the CMOS memory. Having finished the procedure, you may turn the power off and then you can use the keyboard to power-on the PC system afterward.

¨ 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 “Power Up by Alarm” selection in the BIOS setup utility, and then input the accurate date and time in its following fields. (the “Power Up by Alarm” is in the “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP” section, 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.

SiS5600 Pentium II AT MAINBOARD INSTALLATION
