Chipset Chipset Chipset Chipset Chipset The Intel 443BX chipset is the third generation of desktop PCIset and is designed for the Pentium II processor. It consists of the Intel 82443BX PCI/AGP controller (PAC) and the Intel 82371EB PCI/ISA IDE Xcelerator (PIIX4E) bridge chip. Intel 82443BX PCI/AGP Controller (PAC) The PAC provides bus-control signals, address paths, and data paths for transfers between the processors host bus, PCI bus, Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP), and...
Expansion Connectors Your motherboard contains two 16-bit ISA option slots, three 32-bit PCI option slots, one PCI/ISA shared slot (CN3 and CN4), and one AGP slot. You can install a maximum of six option cards, since one PCI and ISA slot share the same chassis I/ O panel.
Diskette Drive Connector (CN20) You can connect up to two diskette drives to the diskette drive connector. After connecting the one end of the diskette drive ribbon cable to the motherboard, connect the two connectors on the other end to the diskette drives. Figure 1-3.

The BIOS in the motherboard supports bootup from IDE CD-ROM drive, floptical drive, SCSI drive or network drive. So, you can select a CD-ROM drive or floptical drive as a boot device by setting CD-ROM or Floptical in the Advanced Setup menu of the SETUP program.
ATX Primary Power Connector (CN24) You can connect an ATX-compliant power supply to the 20-pin block ATX power connector. Connect the cable from the power supply to this connector. Make sure that the cable from the power supply is aligned with the power connector on the motherboard and then firmly push down the cable.
Front Panel I/O Connectors The motherboard provides header connectors to support functions typically located on the front panel of the computer and the illustration below shows the front panel I/O connectors. power LED HDD LED speaker keyboard lock reset switch suspend switch power switch Figure 1-6.

Chapter 3 Installing Motherboard Options Installing Motherboard Options Before Y Before Y ou Begin ou Begin Before Y Before Y Before Y ou Begin ou Begin ou Begin You need a standard ATX chassis for you to install your motherboard in. The power supply for the motherboard should be an ATX type that uses DC power.
Caution Caution Caution Caution Caution Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components on the motherboard. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body by touching a metal part of the computer chassis.

Switches control various circuits or functions in the motherboard. The switches on the motherboard are rocker type of dual in-line package (DIP) switches. Each of these switches has two settings (on and off). To change the settings of the DIP switches, use a small, pointed object such as a small screwdriver or a straightened paper clip to press down on the appropriate side of the switch.
Microprocessor Microprocessor Microprocessor Microprocessor Microprocessor The motherboard provides a Slot 1 processor connector for a single Pentium II processor packaged in a Single Edge Contact (SEC) cartridge. You can install an Intel Pentium II (Klamath) processor with MMX technology operating at 233, 266, 300, or 333 MHz or an Intel Pentium II (Deschutes) processor with MMX technology operating at 300, 350, or 400 MHz in the Slot 1 processor connector.
Installing the Retention Mechanism Type A To install the type A retention mechanism on the motherboard, follow these steps: See the illustration in "Motherboard Overview" in Chapter 1 to locate the Slot 1 processor connector on the motherboard. Position the retention mechanism so that the tab on the connector can fit into a notch in the base of the mechanism.
Type B To install the type B retention mechanism on the motherboard, follow these steps: See the illustration in "Motherboard Overview" in Chapter 1 to locate the Slot 1 processor connector on the motherboard. Position the retention mechanism so that the tab on the connector can fit into a notch in the base of the mechanism.
Installing the Passive Heatsink Support Base Note Note Note Note Note If you are installing a Pentium II processor with active fan cooling in the motherboard, refer to the manual that comes with the processor. A passive heatsink support base with two retention pins comes with the motherboard.
Installing the Processor Follow these steps to install the processor: Locate the processor so that the heatsink will be toward the support base next to the connector. Insert the processor into the Slot 1 connector. Press down on the processor until it is firmly seated in the Slot 1 connector and the latches on the processor lock into place.
Setting the DIP Switches for the Processor Speed Make sure that DIP switches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are set to the correct value for the speed of the processor. See "Changing the DIP Switch Settings" for DIP switch settings for processor speed.
Single sided modules are usually 16 MB or 64 MB and double sided modules are usually 8 MB, 32 MB, or 128 MB. DIMM size ECC configuration Non-ECC configuration 8 MB 1 Mbit x 64 1 Mbit x 72 16 MB 2 Mbit x 64 2 Mbit x 72 32 MB...
