I. Introduction

The Florida-TG Micro ATX motherboard offers a time to market consumer and corporate desktop

solution featuring the Intel Celeron PPGA processor with 66MHz front side bus and the Intel 440LX AGP sets in a
Micro ATX low profile motherboards. In addition, the integrated graphics components have been upgraded with the
AGP graphics controller and 4 or 8MB of SGRAM.

The Florida-TG motherboard was designed to be highly minimized system cost. In this effort a smaller

form factor, Micro-ATX, gives the greater space economy and more affordable systems. Integrating AGP graphics
controller and SGRAM, as well as PCI audio solution with AC97 Codec onto the motherboard eliminates the need
for more expensive graphic and audio add-in cards. The end result is a system platform with a primary component
level of integration with translates into affordable solution for entry-level users.

2. Upgradeability

2-1. Processor

FLORIDA-TG motherboard provides the 370pin PGA370 socket that is not backward compatible with ZIF
socket-7 processors The Processor’s VID pin automatically program the voltage regulator on the motherboard
to the required processor voltage. The motherboard supports processors that run internally at
300/333/366/400 MHz.

T Supported Intel Celeron Processors (PPGA Socket Type)

• Intel : Celeron 300MHz
: Celeron 333MHz
: Celeron 366MHz
: Celeron 400MHz

T PCI interrupt & master number routing map

Intel 82371EB (PIIX4e) PCI/ISA bridge has four programmable interrupt request input signals. Any PCI interrupt
source connects to one of these interrupts signals and assigned to the free proper interrupt number by PnP
BIOS.

 Note 1.

Also AGP graphics controller does not use any PCI interrupt in the Florida-TG(A) motherboard, because

the interrupt function of AGP graphics controller was designed to disabled status. For more information,

• Power management control of individual devices : add-in cards, hard disk drives, USB devices, and

Video

• A soft-off feature that enables operating system to power off the computer

• Support for multiple wakeup events

• Indication LED for normal mode (Green), standby mode (Blinking Green), and suspend mode (Blinking

Green) but this function is dependent on the LED logic.

T Wakeup devices and events

Wakeup device Wakeup events and functionality
Power switch Wakeup from Power-off status and power-off function
LAN Wakeup from power-off status
Modem Wakeup from power-off status
Sleep button Wakeup from power-off status and go to suspend mode (option)

2-6. Manufacturing Options

The motherboard has several manufacturing options according to OEM/ODM requirement. Make sure that
these options can be applied in the assembly stage, and it’s impossible to upgrade or change in the customer
field.
