INTRODUCTION

1-1

The MICRO A TX BX13 mainboard is a high-performance personal computer mainboard based on the Intel® Pentium® II processor . The Intel® Pentium® II processor supports MMX

TM

(Multimedia Extension) technology.

The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel® 82443BX AGP chipset to support the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge. The Intel® 82371EB chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management) function. The Intel® 82371EB chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 33MB/s.

The mainboard also supports the System Hardware Monitor Controller. Its functions include: CPU /power supply/chassis fan revolution detect, CPU/ system voltage monitor, system temperature monitor, chassis intrusion detect and TOP TECH II as an optional function.

In case the metal clips are detached from the Heat Sink, re-attach them. Look for the arrow on the metal clip. This arrow should be pointing down and aligned with the Heat Sink Support Base Holder.

Attach the Heat Sink to the processor.

- Look at the back of the Heat Sink and take note of the 2 secure posts. Insert these 2 Secure posts to the 2 secure holes on the back of the processor.

- Align the ears of the metal clips with the clip holders on the back of the processor. Use a screw driver to push the metal clips onto the clip holders. Check for a perfect fit.

2.1-2 CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

1 . This mainboard can auto-detect the Core/Bus (Fraction) ratio of the CPU

If CPU Clock = 66MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 3. 5

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio

= 66MHz x 3.5 = 233MHz

2.1-3 CPU Bus Frequency Selector: SW2

The SW2 is used to set the CPU Bus Frequencies from 66MHz to 100MHz. When SW2 is shorted, this will automatically detect the CPU Bus Frequency . When SW2 is open, if you used 66MHz CPU Bus Frequency , this will set it virtually into 100MHz.

SW2

SW2 Feature

Automatically detect 66MHz and 100MHz CPU Bus Frequency

Virtually set 66MHz CPU Bus Frequency into 100MHz

NOTE: 1. This feature works with 66MHz FSB only .

2. If your CPU FSB supports 66MHz and you want to run it on 100MHz FSB, the SW2 should be open. The AGP Bus will be set to run at 100MHz x 2/3=66MHz to make it stable.

2.1-4 Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN/PSFAN/SYSFAN

These connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connector, always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your mainboard has System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function.

For fans with fan speed sensor, every rotation of the fan will send out 2 pulses. System Hardware Monitor will count and report the fan rotation speed.
