Introduction
1-1 Overview
SUPER P6SLA/P6SLE supports single Pentium II. They are
based on Intel’s 440 LX chipset which enables Accelerated
Graphics Port (AGP), Wake-on-LAN, SDRAM, concurrent PCI and
Ultra DMA 33 MB/s burst data transfer rate.
SUPER P6SLA/P6SLE is ATX size and have 4 PCI slots, 3 ISA
slots and an AGP connector. These motherboards accommodate
a total of 768 MB EDO or 384 MB SDRAM memory with 3 168-pin
DIMM sockets.
AGP reduces contention with the CPU and I/O devices by broadening the bandwidth of graphics to memory. It delivers a maximum of 532 MB/s 2x transfer mode which is quadruple the PCI
speed!
Wake-on-LAN allows remote network management and configuration of the PC, even in off-hours when the PC is turned off. This
reduces the complexity of managing the network.
Other features that maximize customer satisfaction and simplicity
in managing the computer are PC 98-ready and support for
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). With PC
Health Monitoring, you can protect your system from problems
before they even occur.
Included I/O on Super P6SLA/P6SLE are 2 EIDE ports, a floppy
port, an ECP/EPP parallel port, PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard, 2
serial ports, an infrared port and 2 USB ports.

SUPER P6SLA/P6SLE User’s Manual
1-2 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of SUPER
P6SLA/P6SLE. It has an on-board W83781D System Hardware
Monitor chip which can support PC health monitoring.
Seven On-Board Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, CPU I/O,
+3.3V, ±5V, and ±12V
The on-board voltage monitor will scan the seven monitored
voltages every second. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will
report a warning or an error message on the screen. Users can
adjust the threshold of the monitored voltage to determine the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Three-Fan Status Monitors with Firmware/Software Control On/
Off
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling
fans. The on-board 3-pin CPU fan is controlled by the ACPI BIOS
and the ACPI enabled operating system. The thermal fans are
controlled by the overheat detection logic.
Environment Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor will monitor the real-time environment
temperature. It will turn on the back-up fan whenever the environment temperature goes over the user-defined threshold. The
overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU . It can still
monitor the overheat condition even if the CPU is in sleep mode.
Once it detects that the environment temperature is too high, it
will automatically turn on the back-up fan to prevent any overheat
damage to the CPU. The on-board chassis thermal circuitry can
monitor the overall system temperature and alert users when the
chassis temperature is too high.
CPU Fan Auto-Off in Sleep Mode
The CPU fan will turn on when the power is on. It can be turned
off when the CPU is in sleep mode. When the CPU is in sleep
mode, it means that it will not run at full power, thereby generating less heat. For power saving purposes, the user can have the
option to shut down the CPU fan.
CPU Overheat Alarm and Control
This feature is available when used with SUPERMICRO's SUPER
Doctor Utility. The program will generate a beep sound via the
1-10
Chapter 1: Introduction
speaker when it detects a CPU overheat condition. This overheat
condition can be configured by the user. The program can also
give an indication on the screen when the CPU overheats.
Chassis Intrusion Detection
The chassis intrusion circuitry can detect unauthorized intrusion to
the system. The chassis intrusion connector is located on JL1.
Attach a micro-switch to JL1. When the micro-switch is closed, it
means that the chassis has been opened. The circuitry will then
alert the user with a warning message when the system is on.
The circuitry uses the on-board battery to power up, so even if the
whole system is powered off, the detection can still work properly.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with Intel LANDesk Client
Manager. The user can be notified of certain system events. For
example, if the system is running low on virtual memory, the hard
drive space is not enough to save the data, you are then alerted
of the potential problems.
Hardware BIOS Virus Protection
The system BIOS is protected by hardware so that no virus can
infect the BIOS area. The user can only change the BIOS content
through the flash utility provided by SUPERMICRO. This feature
prevents viruses from infecting the BIOS area and loss of valuable
data. There is also a second way to protect the BIOS from
infection. Please refer to section 5-2-2, Anti-Virus, on page 5-21.
Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core
The switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up
to 20A current, with auto-sensing voltage ID ranging from 1.3V to
3.5V. This allows the regulator to run cooler and makes the
system more stable.
Intel LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) Support
As the computer industry grows, PC systems become more
complex and harder to manage. Historically, only experts could
fully understand and control these complex systems. Today's
users want manageable systems that interact automatically with
the user. Client Manager enables both administrators and clients
to:
1-11
SUPER P6SLA/P6SLE User’s Manual
• Review system inventory
• View DMI-compliant component information
• Back-up and restore system configuration files
• Troubleshoot
• Receive notification for system events
• Transfer files to and from client workstations
• Remotely reboot client workstations
1-3 ACPI/PC 98 Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The
ACPI specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware
interface that provides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including hardware,
operating system and application software. This enables the
system to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CDROMs, network cards, hard disk drives, and printers. This also
includes consumer devices connected to the PC such as VCRs,
TVs, phones, and stereos.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug
and Play and an operating system-independent interface for
configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS
data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with both Windows 95 and
Windows NT.
Microsoft OnNow
The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide
approach to system and device power control. OnNow is a term
for a PC that is always on but appears off and responds immediately to user or other requests.
Slow Blinking LED for Sleep-state Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the power LED will
start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in sleep mode. When
the user presses any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will
automatically stop blinking and remain on.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, the USB
keyboard will work like a normal keyboard during system boot-up.
1-12
Chapter 1: Introduction
Real Time Clock Wake-up Alarm
The PC is perceived to be off when not in use, but is still capable
of responding to previously scheduled wake-up events. The user
can set up a timer to wake-up or shutdown the system at some
predetermined date or time of the month.
Main Switch Override Mechanism
When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function
as a system suspend button. When the user presses on the
power button, the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor
will be suspended, and the hard drive will spin down. Pressing
the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up.
During the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to
keep the required circuitry on the system alive. In case the
system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just
press down on the power button for approximately 4 seconds.
The power will turn off and no power is provided to the
motherboard.
External Modem Ring-on
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external
modem ringing when the system is in SoftOff state. When the
modem rings, the system behaves as if a user pressed the
PW_ON button.
1-4 Chipset Overview
The 440LX chipset was developed by Intel as the ultimate
Pentium II processor platform targeted for emerging 3D graphics
and multimedia applications. Along with System-to-PCI bridge
integrated with optimized DRAM controller and data path, the
chipset introduces the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) interface.
AGP is a high performance, component level interconnect targeted
at 3D applications and is based on a set of performance enhancements to PCI. The I/O subsystem portion of the 440LX
platform is based on the PIIX4, a highly integrated version of
Intel's PCI-to-ISA bridge family.
The 440LX PCI/AGP Controller (PAC) system bus interface supports up to two Pentium II processors. It provides an optimized
72-bit DRAM interface (64-bit data plus ECC). This interface
supports 3.3V DRAM technologies. The PAC provides the inter-
1-13
SUPER P6SLA/P6SLE User’s Manual
face to a PCI bus operating at 33 MHz. This interface implementation is compliant with the PCI Rev 2.1 Specification. The AGP
interface is based on the AGP Specification Rev 1.0. It can
support up to 133 MHz (532 MB/s) data transfer rates.
1-5 Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-on-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to remotely power up a computer which is powered off.
Remote PC setup, updates, and asset tracking can occur after
hours and on weekends so daily LAN traffic is kept to a minimum
and users are not interrupted.
The motherboard has a 3-pin header (WOL) used to connect to
the 3-pin header on the Network Interface Card (NIC) which has
WOL capability.
1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important
for high CPU clock rates like 333, 300, 266, 233 MHz Pentium II
processors.
SUPER P6SLA/P6SLE accommodates ATX power supplies.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications
required by the CPU, some power supplies are not adequate.
It is highly recommended that you use a high quality power
supply. Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is
present, you may choose to install a line filter to separate noise
from the computer. You can also install a power surge protector
to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

Chapter 1: Introduction
I/O greatly reduced the number of components required for
interfacing with floppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports two
360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M, or 2.88 M disk drives and data
transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s, 1 Mb/s, and 2 Mb/s.
The Super I/O provides two high speed serial communication
ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial Infrared communication. Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability, and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide
legacy speed with baud rate up to 115.2 Kbps and also advanced
speed with baud rates of 230 K, 460 K, or 921 Kbps which
support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bidirectional Printer Port (BPP) and also Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP) and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). Also available,
through the printer port interface pins, are: Extension FDD Mode
and Extension 2FDD Mode allowing one or two external floppy
disk drives to be connected.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface). It also has auto power
management to reduce power consumption.
The Super I/O complies with Microsoft PC97 Hardware Design
Guide. IRQs, DMAs, and I/O space resources are flexible to
adjust to meet ISA PnP requirement. Moreover, it meets the
specification of PC97's requirement in the power management:
ACPI and DPM (Device Power Management).

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Static-sensitive electric discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important
to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally
sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before you remove the board
from the anti-static bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its compo-
nents, peripheral chips, memory modules, or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the system board and peripherals back into their anti-static
bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, be sure your computer system’s
chassis allows excellent conductive contacts between its power
supply, case, mounting fasteners, and the system board.
Unpacking
The system board is shipped in anti-static packaging to avoid
static damage. When unpacking the board, be sure the person
handling the board is static-protected.

2-2 Pentium II Processor Installation
When handling the Pentium II processor, avoid
!
placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
1. Check the Intel boxed processor kit for the following items: the
processor with the fan heatsink attached, two black plastic pegs,
two black plastic supports, and one power cable.
2. Install the retention mechanism attach mount under the
motherboard, before mounting the motherboard into the chassis.
Do not screw too tightly. Mount the two black plastic pegs onto
the motherboard (Figure 2.1). These pegs will be used to attach
the fan heatsink supports. Notice that one hole and the base of
one peg are larger than the other hole and peg base. Push each
peg into its hole firmly until you hear it "click" into place.

3. Slide a black plastic support onto each end of the fan heatsink,
making sure that the hole and clip are on the outside edge of the
support. If the supports are reversed, the holes will not line up
with the pegs on the motherboard. Slide each support toward the
center of the processor until the support is seated in the outside
groove in the fan housing.
