Thank you for purchasing the SVX400 mainboard. The SVX400 is designed to
accommodate Intel Pentium 4 processors supporting front side bus (FSB)
speeds of 400/533 MHz.
The mainboard is an ATX mainboard that uses a 4-layers printed circuit board
and measures 305 mm x 244 mm.
Based on the highly integrated VIA APOLLO P4X400, this mainboard
incorporates the VIA VT8754 Northbridge and VT8235 Southbridge chipsets
which delivers workstation level performance.
The SVX400 comes with a full set of I/O features conveniently integrated on
the rear I/O panel, including support for PS/2 keyboard and mouse
connectors, two USB ports, a LAN connector, two high-speed serial port, an
EPP/ECP parallel port, audio jacks for microphone, line-in, line-out and CD-in
and a game port, as well as supporting Plug and Play.
For added power and performance, the mainboard achieves the highest
reliability by supporting three 184 pin, 2.5V DDR (Double Data RAM) DIMM
sockets with a total capacity of 12 GB.
The SVX400 offers the ideal platform for building powerful PCs and
workstations.
Note: SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz. Double Data Rate SDRAM
(DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and 2.7 GBps. DDR
SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin
DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM.
