FEATURES

BX6 Features:

•BX6 is based on the Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor operating
at 233 ~ 400MHz (66MHz) or 300 ~ 600MHz (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 768MB of SDRAM (minimum of 8 MB) on board, You can
use 168-pin DIMM x 3. It will automatically detect Extended Data Output
(EDO) DRAM at 66MHz only or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM)
at 66MHz or 100MHz.

•BX6 will not support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using

parity DRAM memory modules.

• Supports (1) 16 bit ISA slots, (6) 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 BX6 supports (6) 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.2themax.com

•

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

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

• Supports the onboard standby in suspend green or STR mode LED (D2).

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

•Supports the STR indicator red LED (D8) to avoid plugging or un-plugging
DIMM modules when in a STR mode.
