Overview
The MX6E PLUS is a Pentium II based system board that utilizes Intel
82440EX chipset on Micro ATX PCI/ISA platform. This chipset is designed for
Pentium II CPU, and supports new architectures such as high speed AGP
graphic port, SDRAM, Ultra DMA/33, Bus master IDE and USB port. It has
three Dual in-line Memory Module (DIMM) that allow to mix 3V EDO and
SDRAM memory and expand up to a maximum of 256MB. Also, this
motherboard uses 2M bit Flash ROM BIOS to reserve for future new functions.
In addition, MX6E PLUS also implements many special features.
Jumper-less Design Pentium II VID signal and SMbus clock generator provide
CPU voltage auto-detection and allows user to set CPU frequency through
CMOS setup, no jumper or switch is needed. The correct CPU information is
saved into EEPROM, with these technologies, the disadvantages of Pentium
base jumper-less design are eliminated. There will be no worry of wrong CPU
voltage detection and no need to re-open the housing if CMOS battery loss.
The only jumper left is to clear CMOS, which is a safety hook if you forget the
password.
Battery-less Motherboard MX6E PLUS implements EEPROM and special
circuit (patent applied) that allows you to save your current CPU and CMOS
Setup configurations without the need of battery. The RTC (real time clock) can
also keep running as long as power cord is plugged. If you lose your CMOS
data by accident, you can just reload the CMOS configurations from EEPROM
and the system will recover as usual.
Suspend To Hard Drive "Immediately" turns on system and goes back to the
original screen before power down. You can resume your original work directly
from hard disk without go through the Win95 booting process and run your
application again. Suspend to Hard Drive saves your current work (system
status, memory image) into hard disk. Note that you have to use VESA
compatible PCI VGA, Sound Blaster compatible sound card with APM driver,
for Suspend to Hard Drive to work properly.
Zero Voltage Modem Wake Up In conjunction with ATX soft power On/Off, it
is possible to have system totally power off and wakeup to automatically
