2.2.2 Socket-370 Motherboard Placement and Routing
For Socket-370 CPU and Apollo Pro133A PC motherboard designs, two proposed placements and group signal routings for the
two most popular form factors (ATX and micro-ATX) are shown in figures 2-5 and 2-6 respectively. Detailed layout guidelines
and signal routings for the Pro133A chipset will be addressed later in section 2.4.
Each figure shows a full size of its respective form factor. The empty area at the bottom of each placement diagram can be
eliminated to reduce the board size. Table 2-2 shows the full size and the suggested compact size for each form factor
implementation.
