Page 8: What Is Agp
Introduction 1.6 What is AGP The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports an AGP port. The main purpose of the AGP port is to provide fast access to system memory. The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs. 32-bits at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and side band addressing. -

Page 11: Hardware Installation
HARDWARE INSTALLATION 3.1. UNPACKING The mainboard package should contain the following: The 6EX mainboard. The Retention Mechanism & Attach Mount USER'S MANUAL for mainboard. Cable set for IDE, Floppy & I/O devices. Diskette or CD for Mainboard Utility. The mainboard contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed. -

Page 17: Cpu Speed Setup
3.5. CPU SPEED SETUP The default system bus speed is 66.6MHz. The user can change the DIP SWITCH (SW) selection to set up the CPU speed for 200 - 366MHz processor. The CPU speed must match with the frequency RATIO. It will cause system hanging up if the frequency RATIO is higher than CPU's. -
Page 18: Cmos Rtc & Isa Cfg Cmos Sram
Hardware Installation 3.6. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM The mainboard contains RTC & CMOS SRAM on board. They have a power supply from external battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC is a REAL-TIME CLOCK device, which provides the DATE & TIME to system. The CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of system configuration, so the system can automatically boot OS every time. -
Page 19: Ide & Atapi Device Installation
connected to PWR of mainboard in correct direction. 3.10. IDE & ATAPI DEVICE INSTALLATION There are two-Enhanced PCI IDE ports (IDE1, IDE2) on board, which following ATAPI standard SPEC. Any one IDE port can connected to two ATAPI devices (IDE Hard Disk, CD-ROM & Tape Driver), so total four ATAPI devices can exist in a system.
