This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and
knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use
of the SUPER 370DE6/370DER(370DER+)/370DEI(370DEI+) mainboard. The
SUPER 370DE6/370DER/370DER+/370DEI/370DEI+ supports single or dual
Pentium® III 500 MHz-1.13 GHz FCPGA processors with a 133/100 MHz
front side bus. Please refer to the support section of our web site (http://
www.supermicro.com/TechSupport.htm) for a complete listing of supported
processors.
Pentium III FCPGA (Flip Chip Pin Grid Array) processors are housed in a
370-pin socket, which is the standard that will support future Intel processors. The 370DER/370DER+/370DEI/370DEI+ were designed specifically for
use in rackmount 1-U systems.
Manual Organization
Chapter 1 includes a checklist of what should be included in your
mainboard box, describes the features, specifications and performance of
the SUPER 370DE6/370DER/370DER+/370DEI/370DEI+ mainboard and provides detailed information about the chipset.
Preface
Chapter 2 begins with instructions on handling static-sensitive devices.
Read this chapter when you want to install the processor and DIMM memory
modules and when mounting the mainboard in the chassis. Also refer to
this chapter to connect the floppy and hard disk drives, SCSI drives, the IDE
interfaces, the parallel and serial ports and the twisted wires for the power
supply, the reset button, the power LED, the speaker and the keyboard.
If you encounter any problems, see Chapter 3, which describes troubleshooting procedures for the video, the memory and the setup configuration
stored in CMOS. For quick reference, a general FAQ [Frequently Asked
Questions] section is provided. Instructions are also included for contacting technical support. In addition, you can visit our web site at
www.supermicro.com/techsupport.htm for more detailed information.
Chapter 4 includes an introduction to BIOS and provides detailed information on running the CMOS Setup utility.
