FEATURES
•KP6-LA is based on the Pentium
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 ~ 330 MHz
•Designed with Intel’s 82443 LX AGPset.
•Supports up to 1 Gigabyte of DRAM (minimum of 8 MB) on board, You can
use either 72-pin SIMM x 4 or 168-pin DIMM x 3 or both. (1 Bank is shared
between the SIMM & DIMM) It will automatically detect Extended Data
Output (EDO) DRAM or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM)
•KP6-LA 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 (3) 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 KP6-LA 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 Winbond W83977 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 or AT keyboard.
•Features Award Plug & Play BIOS. With Flash Memory you can always
upgrade to the current BIOS as they are released. (http://www.

FeaturesKP6-LA
• KP6-LA utilizes a Lithium battery which provides environmental protection
and longer battery life.
• Supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. The onboard PIIX4 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.
• Supports ring-in feature (remote power-on through external modem,
allows system to be turned on remotely.
• 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)
The KP6-LA supports (3) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module) and (4)
72-pin SIMMs (Single In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO
(Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM). The 72-pin SIMMs must
be installed in pairs, and DIMMs may be installed using just one chip.
•Same size and type EDO memory must be installed in pairs
so that memory modules are not mixed in each bank.
•DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or
120MHz (8ns) bus speed.
•You may mix EDO & SDRAM DIMM modules.
•If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure
your BIOS to read 60ns.
•When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the
4 clock variety over the 2 clock.
•Fast Page Mode DRAM (FPM) is not supported by the LX
AGPset. Only EDO and SDRAM are supported.
Figure 2 and T able 1 show several possible memory configurations using both SIMM
and DIMM.
