1.1 Overview

The S1562 is a quality, high performance dual processor mainboard based
on the powerful Intel Pentium microprocessors. This mainboard is
designed around the latest and fastest Intel 430HX(II) chipset and can
support CPU speeds of 75MHz through 200MHz and beyond. The
S1562S is single processor mainboard and the S1562D is a dual
processor mainboard.
The S1562S supports Pentium and Cyrix processors, EDO memory, ECC
memory and memory parity checking.The S1562's PCI Local Bus
provides high performance capabilities that are ideal for a wide range of
demanding applications such as: CAD, CAM, CAE, networking, multi-
user environments, database management, desktop publishing, image
processing and 3D animation. The S1562D supports dual Pentium
processors(dual Cyrix CPU is not supported).
This integrated system board achieves the highest reliability and yet is
small enough for all of its features to be supported in a "Baby-AT" form-
factor. Some of the features included are: on-board dual channel PCI
IDE, on-board floppy controller, on-board high speed I/O, and support for
pipeline-burst SRAM.
Flexibility and expandibility have been designed into the S1562. With I/O
and drive controller support built on-board, the four PCI and five ISA
(One ISA and one PCI as a shared slot) slots are free for any add-on
expansion cards. With eight SIMM sockets, the S1562 can provide a very
flexible memory configuration of 8MB to 512MB of RAM. With the
S1562D's support for dual Pentium processors, you can start a system
with just one CPU, and later add another, when more processing power is
required.
