I. Introduction
The Napoli-2 Micro ATX motherboard offers a time to market consumer and corporate desktop solution
featuring the Pentium-II,III(R) processor with 66/100MHz front side bus and the Intel 443BX(or ZX) sets in a Micro
ATX low profile motherboards
The Napoli-2 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 SDRAM, as well as PCI audio solution 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
This section describes the major specification of user upgrade parts. CPU, Memory, and extension slot will provide
a user to upgrade the overall performance by adding or changing these parts with other higher.
T CPU : Pentium II processor 233/266/300/333/366MHz and Pentium III processor 350/400/450/500/550MHz
T Memory : EDO, SDRAM Modules (2bank, 16MB-256MB)
T Expansion slot : Three master PCI and One ISA slot One shared, One AGP slot
2-1. Processor
This motherboard supports a single Pentium II processor or Pentium III processor. The processor’s VID pins
automatically program the voltage regulator, which is on the motherboard for the required processor voltage. The
motherboard supports processors that run internally at 300/333/300/350/400/450/500/550MHz, and have a
512Kb second level cache.

T Expansion slot : Three master PCI and One ISA slot One shared, One AGP slot
2-2.Memory
The motherboard has two, dual inline memory module (DIMM), minimum 16MB to maximum 256MB memory
size. The BIOS can automatically detect the memory type, size, and speed through SMBUS interface between
the core chipset and DIMM module.
The motherboard supports the following memory features
• 3.3V and unbuffered168-pin DIMM
Voltage detection
3.3V Version5V Version
Unbuffered detection
UnbufferedBuffered
• 66MHz and 100MHz unbuffered SDRAM, and also EDO DRAM
• Non-ECC memory and ECC memory support
• Single or double-sided DIMM with the following types
The motherboard uses a TriGem-AMI BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be upgraded using a diskbased program. A new version of the BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette using the Flash Memory Update
utility.

2-5. Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
The motherboard and system BIOS support the ACPI that requires an ACPI-aware operating system such as
Windows-NT 5.0 or Windows 98. ACPI feature include
• Plug and play and APM functionality normally contained in the BIOS
• 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 (Amber), standby mode (Blinking Amber ), and suspend mode (Green)
but this function is dependent on the LED logic.
