Overview
Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor
The Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor (The Pentium® III Processor as 350~600/ 100MHz and 533~733/133MHz speed or above with 512K/256K-L2 cache Versions.) is the follow-on to the Pentium® Processor. The Pentium® II or Pentium III Processor, like the Pentium® Pro processor, implements a Dynamic Execution micro-architecture -- a unique combination of multiple branch prediction, data flow analysis, and speculative execution. This enables the Pentium® II/III Processor to deliver higher performance than the Pentium® processor, while maintaining binary compatibility with all previous Intel architecture processors.
A significant feature of the Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor, from a system perspective, is the built-in direct multiprocessing support. In order to achieve multiprocessing, and maintain the memory and I/O bandwidth to support it, new system designs are needed. For systems with dual processors, it is important to consider the additional power burdens and signal integrity issues of supporting multiple loads on a high speed bus. The Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor card supports both uni-processor and dual processor implementations.
®
The Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor utilizes Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.) (Figure 1) cartridge packaging technology. The S.E.C. cartridge allows the L2 cache to remain tightly coupled to the processor, while maintaining flexibility when implementing high performance processors into OEM systems. The second level cache is performance optimized and tested at the cartridge level. The S.E.C. cartridge utilizes surface mounted core components and a printed circuit board with an edge finger connection. The S.E.C. cartridge package introduced on the Pentium® II Processor will also be used in future Slot 1 processors.
The S.E.C. cartridge has the following features: a thermal plate, a cover and a PCB with an edge finger connection. The thermal plate allows standardized heatsink attachment or customized thermal solutions. The thermal plate enables a reusable heatsink to minimize fit issues for serviceability, upgradeability and replacement. The full enclosure also protects the surface mount components. The edge finger connection maintains socketabilty for system configuration. The edge finger connector is denoted as ‘Slot 1 connector’ in this and other documentation.

Introduction EP-6WEA4/4I
EP-6WEA4/4I Form-Factor
The EP-6WEA4/4I is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of chassis. The ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick, modem, LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.
• Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.
• I/O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.01 or later. The mainboard should be used in an ATX 2.01 (or later) compliant case.
A smaller power supply can be used. High integration on mainboard reduces the system costs.

Power-On/Off (Remote)
The EP-6WEA4/4I has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The systems power On/Off button should be a momentary button that is normally open.
The EP-6WEA4/4I has been designed with “Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off the system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off the button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the EP-6WEA4/4I’s onboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system. Windows 95/98 will control this when the user clicks that they are ready to Shut­down the system.

Installing a Pentium® II/III Processor
The EP-6WEA4/4I uses the Single Edge Contact (SEC) slot for a Pentium® II/III processor packaged in an SEC cartridge. The SEC slot is not compatible with other non-Pentium® II/III processors.
Please have ready the following list of components so that we may install the processor onto the motherboard.
1. Pentium® II/III processor heat sink
2. Intel Pentium® II/III Processor
OK, now that you have all of your components ready, we can start.
First, please refer to figure 6 below, and follow the direction to lift up the fixed foldable pentium® II/III Retention Mechanism. This pre-installed device is designed for you to install Pentium® II/III CPU more easier and to avoide any damage on the board due to overtightening the four screws.
One thing must be kept in your mind that please make sure to lift upright the foldable parts of the Retention module to fit and install CPU properly.

4-3 Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communica­tions between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen be­cause they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.
DRAM Settings
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

4-10 Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences between are:
supervisor password : can enter and change the options of the setup menus. user password : just can only enter but do not have the right to change the
options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER P ASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The pass­word typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password. To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the pass­word is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
P ASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration. Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer. You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompt­ing only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

4-11 Exit Selecting
Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.
Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.
