    Introduction Figure 3: OEM Pentium III Processor 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.

    Hardware Installation 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 every time.
  • Page 43 6BXC 3.11. PERIPHERAL DEVICE INSTALLATION After the I/O device installation and jumpers setup, the main board can be mounted into the case and fixed by screw. To complete the main board installation, the peripheral device could be installed now. The basic system needs a display interface card.
