Introduction
This mainboard is a high-performance mainboard
based on the advanced Pentiumª microprocessor and
featuring PCI Local Bus and the Intel i430TX. The
mainboard offers a high degree of flexibility in
configuration and is fully IBM PC/AT compatible.
2 Chapter 1
Key Features
The advanced features of this mainboard include:
¥ Intel i430TX PCI chipset
¥ Supports Pentiumª 75 ~ 233 MHz CPUs with ZIF
socket, including Pentiumª P54C and P55C
(MMXª), Cyrix/IBM 6x86/6x86L/6x86MX (M2),
IDT C6, and AMD K5/K6 CPUs
¥ Provides CPU Plug & Play (Auto Voltage/
Frequency/Bus Frequency Ratio) techniques for
faster and easier CPU installation
¥ Switching power provides CPU core voltage from
2.5V to 3.5V
¥ Supports 64M-bit (16Mx4, 8Mx8, 4Mx16)
technology DRAM/SDRAM
¥ Provides 4 x 72-pin SIMM modules auto banking in
multiple configuration up to 256MB, and also, 3 x
168-pin DIMM to support SDRAM/EDO
DRAM/Page Mode DRAM up to 256MB
¥ Supports onboard 512KB Pipelined Burst
synchronous L2 cache
¥ Supports Ultra DMA/33 and ACPI
¥ Provides dual ATX (20-pin) and AT (12-pin) power
connectors and ATX power supports Suspend
Switch and Alarm Wake Up
¥ 4 PCI Local Bus slots and 4 x 16 bits ISA Bus slots,
all 4 PCI slots support master mode
¥ Onboard PCI Bus Master IDE interface supports 4
IDE devices with 2 channels; BIOS supports 4 IDE
harddisk drives which do not need device driver
for S/W application and the capacity of each
harddisk can be larger than 528MB and up to
8.4 GB
Introduction 3

4 Chapter 1
This mainboard is easily damaged by static electricity.
Follow the precautions below while unpacking or
installing the mainboard.
1. Do not remove the mainboard from its original
package until you are ready to install it.
2. Before handling the mainboard, ground yourself by
grasping an unpainted portion of the systemÕs
metal chassis.
3. Frequently ground yourself to discharge any static
electric charge that may build up in your body
while working on installation and/or
configuration.
4. Remove the mainboard from its anti-static
packaging and place it on a grounded surface,
component side up.
5. Handle the mainboard by its edges or by the
mounting bracket to avoid touching its
components.
6. Check the mainboard for damage. If any integrated
circuit appears loose, press carefully to seat it
firmly in its socket.
7. Do not apply power if the mainboard appears
damaged. If there is damage to the board contact
your dealer immediately.
Chapter 2
Hardware Configuration
Before installing the mainboard into the system chassis,
you may find it convenient to first configure the
mainboardÕs hardware. This chapter describes how to
set jumpers and install memory modules, and where to
attach components.
