Chapter 3 Hardware Description 3.1 Processor and CPU Voltage The AI5VG is designed to take a Pentium Processor with a bus speed of 60 and 66 MHz. The internal clock of the CPU can be multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 and 4.5 of the bus clock, the CPU frequency can be 90 to 300MHz.
192MB 128MB 128MB 256MB 3.4 BIOS The BIOS on the AI5VG motherboard provides the standard BIOS functions plus the following additional features: 1. DMI (Desktop Management Interface) The motherboard supports DMI to enable computer system management in an enterprise. 2. ISA Plug and Play (PnP) Extension Unlike PCI cards which are plug and play, ISA cards require setting jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts.
The AD22105 IC on the motherboard is a temperature sensor for the CPU. When the CPU temperature exceeds threshold value, the CPU slows down automatically to allow it to cool down to a safe level. AI5VG Pentium VP3 Baby AT Motherboard User’s Manual...
