FEATURES

• BXB is based on the Dual Pentium

MHz (66MHz) or 300-450 MHz (100MHz) on Slot 1. The board is configured
by an Easy-Setting-Single-Jumper (E.S.S.J.) to match your CPU clock speed.

®

II Processor operating at 233 ~ 333

• Designed with Intel’s 82443 BX AGPset.

• Supports up to 1 Gigabyte 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 or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM)

• BXB will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using

parity DRAM memory modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and correct
1-bit memory errors.

• Supports (2) 16 bit ISA slots, (4) 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 BXB supports (4) 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 Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra-2 Wide SCSI for LVD (80 Mbytes/

sec) devices and Adaptec AIC-3860 for legacy single-ended SCSI devices.
(please see Section 3-6).

• Designed with Winbond W83977 Multi I/O: (1) floppy port, (1) parallel port

(EPP, ECP), and (2) serial ports (16550 Fast UART), (1) IrDA.
Note: Japanese “Floppy 3 mode” is also supported

• Includes a PS/2 mouse connector.

• Allows use of a PS/2 or AT keyboard (with optional adapter).

•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. (option)

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

®

• Supports USDM software which allows Windows
0 to monitor various aspects of the system hardware.

• Supports stopping the CPU, AUX, and Chassis FANs during sleep mode.

• Supports blinking of the System Power LED (PANEL) during sleep mode.

95/98, or Windows® NT 4.

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

• Built-in SB-LINK Header for Creative Labs Sound Blaster
sound card.
