FEATURES

BX5 Features:

•BX5 is based on the Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor operating at 233 ~ 400MHz (66MHz) or 300 ~ 550MHz (100MHz) on Slot 1. There are no jumper setting for CPU Speed Setup but detected automatically through the BIOS.

•Designed with Intel’s 82443 BX AGPset.

•Supports up to 1 GB of SDRAM (minimum of 8 MB) on board, You can use 168-pin DIMM x 4. It will automatically detect Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM at 66MHz only or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM) at 66MHz or 100MHz (please see Section 3-2).

•BX5 will not support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using paritys DRAM memory modules.

•Supports (2) 16 bit ISA slots, (5) 32 bit PCI slots, (1) AGP slot and provides (2) independent high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO Mode 3/4 and Ultra DMA 33 devices. The BX5 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 W83977TF/EF Multi I/O: (1) floppy port, (1) parallel port (EPP, ECP), and (2) serial ports (16550 Fast UART). Note: Japanese “Floppy 3 mode” is also supported.

•Includes a PS/2 mouse connector.

•Allows use of a PS/2 keyboard.

•Features Award Plug & Play BIOS. With Flash Memory you can always upgrade to the current BIOS as they are released. (http://www. please visit our Technical Support section for the latest updates).

FeaturesBX5

•BX5 utilizes a Lithium battery which provides environmental protec tion and longer battery life.

•Supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. The onboard PIIX4E chip provides the means for connecting PC peripherals such as; keyboards, joysticks, telephones, and modems.

•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.

•Power Loss Recovery - In the event of a power outage your system will automatically turn itself back on without user intervention.

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

•Supports Desktop Management Interface (DMI) facilitating the management of desktop computers, hardware and software components and peripherals, whether they are stand-alone systems or linked into networks. (optional)

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

•Supports USDM software to allow the status monitoring of various aspects of the system when using Windows® 95/98 or Windows® NT 4.0.

•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.

Note:Based on the implementation of the Intel 440BX AGPset, the BX5

is able to provide multiple front side bus (FSB) frequencies for Slot 1 processors and memory operations. The

motherboard's FSB is easily se-

lected by BIOS Setup listed above to match the FSB required by your processor. When using the 100MHz FSB (or higher) you must use PC100 (or better) compliant SDRAM.

Memory is an important component of any motherboard. When selecting memory for use on the

2theMax brand motherboard we

recommend use only the finest quality modules. 2theMax would like to stress that using non-compliant PC100 SDRAM modules with a 100MHz (or higher) FSB severely compromises the integrity of the system.

System Memory Configuration

Memory Layout

The BX5 supports (4) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO (Extended Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM).

• We recommend not mixing SDRAM DIMM and EDO DIMM together.

• EDO DIMM can only be used with the 66MHz FSB.

• We recommend using at least 125MHz (-8ns) SDRAM DIMM at the 100MHz (or higher) FSB as timing becomes more critical at these higher speeds.

• DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (-12ns), 100MHz (-10ns) or 125MHz (8ns) bus speed.

Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations using

DIMM 1 (M1)
