INTRODUCTION
The NLX BX4 mainboard is a high-performance personal computer
®
®
®
mainboard based on Intel
Pentium
II processor. It combines Intel
740
®
®
graphics accelerator, YAMAHA
YMF740 enhanced audio, and Intel
82558
®
TM
10/100M Ethernet . The Pentium
II processor supports MMX
(Multime-
dia Extension) technology.
®
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel
82443BX chipset to support
the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge. The
®
Intel
82371EB chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more
Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
®
function. The Intel
82371EB chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 33MB/s.
The mainboard also supports the System Hardware Monitor Controller. This
function includes: CPU /power supply/chassis fan revolution detect, CPU/
system voltage monitor, system temperature monitor, and chassis intrusion
detect.
