    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 18: Cpu Speed Setup

    Hardware Installation 3.5. CPU SPEED SETUP The system's speed is fixed to 66.6MHz. The user can change the DIP SWITCH (SW) selection to set up the CPU speed for 200 - 633MHz 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.

    6BXD 3.6. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM There're 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.
  • Page 20: Ide & Atapi Device Installation

    Hardware Installation 3.10. IDE & ATAPI DEVICE INSTALLATION There are two Enhance PCI IDE ports 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.
