FEATURES

6WEA4I Features:

• 6WEA4I is based on the Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor operat­ing at 350 ~ 733MHz (100/133MHz) on Slot 1. The board is configured
by a BIOS setting to match your CPU clock speed.

• Designed with Intel’s 810E chipset.

• Supports up to 512 MB of DRAM (minimum of 16 MB) on board, You
can use 168-pin DIMM x 2. It will run Synchronous DRAM memory
(SDRAM) at 100MHz.

• 64-bit system memory interface with optimized support for SDRAM at
100MHz.

• Integrated 2D & 3D Graphics Engine, H/W Motion Compensation Engine,
230MHz DAC and 4MB Display Cache.

• AC’97 2.1 Audio CODEC onboard for enables the software Audio.

• Supports (5) 32 bit PCI slots, provides (2) independent high performance
PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO Mode 3/4 and Ultra DMA
66 devices. The 6WEA4I supports (5) PCI Bus Master slots and a
jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces configuration confu­sion when plugging in PCI card(s).

• Supports ATAPI (e.g. CD-ROM) devices on both Primary and Secondary
IDE interfaces.

• Designed with Winbond W83627HF LPC (Low Pin Count) I/O: (1) floppy
port, (1) parallel port (EPP, ECP), and (2) serial ports (16550 Fast UART)

• Includes a PS/2 mouse connector.

• Allows use of a PS/2 keyboard.

• Features Award Plug & Play BIOS. With 4MB(FWH) Flash Memory you
can always upgrade to the current BIOS.

Features 6WEA4I

• 6WEA4I utilizes a Lithium battery which provides environmental
protection and longer battery life.

• Supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. The onboard ICH
(82801AA) chip provides the means for connecting PC peripherals such
as; keyboards, joysticks, speaker, and mouse.

• Built-in ATX 20-pin power supply connector.

• Software power-down when using Windows® 95/98.

• Supports ring-in feature (remote power-on through external modem, allow
system to be turned on remotely.

• Resume by Alarm - Allow your system to turn on at a preselected time.

• Supports CPU Hardware sleep and SMM (System Management Mode).

• Supports Hot key, Any key or password Keyboard power ON function
(KBPO).

• Supports the CPU, PWR and Chassis fan Auto stop in the sleep mode.

• Supports the System Power LED (PANEL) blinks in the sleep mode.

• Built-in WOL (Wake On Lan) Connector.

• Supports the AMR Connector for enables the software modem.

• Y2K Compliant.

• Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) ready.

• Supports USDM software to offer motherboard various status on Windows
95/98.

• Supports the STR (Suspend To RAM) power management by ACPI’s S3.

• Supports the STR indicator red LED (D23) to avoid pluging or un-pluging
DIMM modules when in a STR mode or power on mode.

• Supports ISA Slot.

Configure Jumpers

We design this motherboard with the a few jumpers to make your installation fast
and easy.

The following will describe all of the jumpers that you are required to set.

System Memory Configuration

Memory Layout

The 6WEA4I supports (2) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module).
The DIMMs can be either EDO (Extended Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized
DRAM).

• 100MHz system memory bus frequency. Even if the system host bus is

66MHz.

• 8MB to 256MB using 16MB/64MB technology (512MB using 128MB

technology).

• 256MB Support Registered synchronous DRAM Memory Modules.

• We recommend to installed the “PC/100MHz SDRAM Spec.”, using

DIMM SDRAM must be 125MHz (-8ns) bus speed. If used 100MHz
(-10ns) SDRAM may be critical timing for the motherboard.

• DIMM SDRAM may be 100MHz (-10ns) or 125MHz (-8ns) bus speed.
