Chapter 2 MEMORY CONFIGUARTION The mainboard lets user upgrade system memory via DIMM sockets on the mainboard. On board memory is located in eight banks: Bank 0 - 7. Four DIMM sockets are provided for EDO DRAM or Synchronous DRAM. Table 4 provide the typical memory configurations supported by the mainboard.
CHAPTER 3 CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION Once the mainboard has been fastened into system case, the next step is to connect the internal cables. The internal cables are wire leads with plastic female connectors that attach to the connectors. The mainboard connectors have varying numbers of pins and are the points of contact between the mainboard and other parts of the computer.

Flash and DMI Utility DESKTOP MANAGEMENT INTERFACE (DMI) OVERVIEW This motherboard can support DMI within the BIOS level. DMI is able to auto- detect and record information pertinent to a computer’s system such as the CPU type, CPU speed, and internal/external frequencies, and memory size. The onboard BIOS will detect as many system information as possible and store those collected information in a 4KB block in the motherboard’s flash EPROM and allow the DMI to retrieve data from this database.
