III processor/840 evaluation board is a full-featured system board with two Pentium III processors with 256 Kbytes of on-die L2 cache in a PGA370 socket, and the Intel 840 Chipset. The supported core and processor side bus frequencies are up to 866 MHz/133 MHz. The 840 chipset includes the MCH, ICH, P64H and the FWH.
The Direct AGP port provides up to 1 Gbyte/s of graphics bandwidth. • Supports processors using a 100/133-MHz system bus. • A prefetch cache, unique to the Intel 840 chipset, allows highly efficient data flow and helps maximize system concurrency. ® ®...
3.3.3.1 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) The Memory Controller Hub (MCH) differentiates the Intel 840 chipset from other Intel 800 series chipsets. The MCH provides graphics support for AGP 1X/2X/4X, dual RDRAM memory channels, and multiple PCI segments for high performance I/O.
I/O. The Intel 82806AA PCI-64 Hub (P64H) is a multi- function PCI device that provides a PCI bridging function and an I/O Advanced Peripheral Interrupt Controller (APIC) function. The P64H is an integral part of the Intel 840 chipset and has been implemented in this evaluation board design.
3.3.5 Boot ROM The system boot ROM installed at U10B1 is the Intel E82802AC Firmware Hub. The system is set up for in-circuit reprogramming of the BIOS (using BIOS update software), but the FWH is also socketed. This device is addressable on the LPC bus off of the ICH.
One parallel port connector controlled by the SMSC Super I/O controller device is provided (J1L1). 3.3.17 USB Port USB support is provided through the ICH and can be used through connector J1P1. ® ® Intel Pentium III Processor/840 Development Kit Manual...

Operation outside the functional limit can degrade system performance and cause reliability problems. ® ® The Intel Pentium III processor/840 Development Kit is shipped with two heatsink/fan thermal solutions pre-installed on the primary and secondary processors using metallic clips. These thermal solutions have been tested in an open air environment at room temperature and are sufficient for evaluation purposes.

4.10.1 P1/P0 Present Override (J10/J42) The Intel Pentium III processor/840 evaluation board will not power on if both processors are not installed. To override this function (for board testing), install jumpers on J10 and J42. During a boot up sequence, the hardware checks whether the processors are present. To boot the board without the hardware recognizing a processor, the jumper must be set to the IN position.
4. Move J6F1 back to the 1-2 position. 5. Reconnect the power supply (J3M1, J3P1, J1T4). 6. Boot the system and enter the BIOS setup screen to reconfigure the system. ® ® Intel Pentium III Processor/840 Development Kit Manual 4-19...
