Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. PREFACE
Welcome to use the 6BXDU motherboard. It is a Dual Pentium II Processor
based PC / AT compatible system with AGP / PCI / SCSI / ISA Bus, and has
been designed to be the fastest PC / AT system. There are some new features
allow you to operate the system with just the performance you want.
This manual also explains how to install the motherboard for operation, and
how to set up your CMOS CONFIGURATION with BIOS SETUP program.
