  • Page 11: Second Level Cache Memory

    SE440BX-2 Motherboard Product Guide Second Level Cache Memory The second level cache for the Pentium II processor includes synchronous pipelined burst static RAM (PBSRAM) and tag RAM. There are four PBSRAM components totaling 512 KB in size. All supported onboard memory is cacheable. The Celeron processors that include an integrated 128 KB second level cache subsystem, have it implemented on the processor die.
  • Page 12: Real-Time Clock

    The recommended method of accessing the date in systems with Intel motherboards is indirectly from the Real-Time Clock (RTC) via the BIOS. The BIOS on Intel motherboards and baseboards contains a century checking and maintenance feature that checks the least two significant digits of the year stored in the RTC during each BIOS request (INT 1Ah) to read the date and, if less than 80 (i.e., 1980 is the first year supported by the PC), updates the century byte to 20.
  • Page 13: Bios

    SE440BX-2 Motherboard Product Guide BIOS The motherboard’s system BIOS is contained in a flash memory device on the motherboard. The BIOS provides the power-on self test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, and the PCI and IDE auto- configuration utilities. The BIOS is always shadowed. Shadowing allows BIOS routines to be executed from fast 64-bit onboard DRAM instead of from the slower 8-bit flash memory device.

  • Page 64: Product Certification Markings

    Regulatory and Integration Information Product Certification Markings This printed circuit board assembly has the following product certification markings: European CE Marking: Consists of a marking on the board and shipping container. UL Recognition Mark: Consists of the UL File No. E139761 on the component side of the board and the PB No.
  • Page 65: Ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility (Emc)

    Appropriate protection is provided by a maximum 8-Amp current limiting circuit or a maximum 5-Amp fuse or positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor. All Intel motherboards now have PTCs on all external ports that provide DC power externally.
  • Page 66: Prevent Power Supply Overload

    Regulatory and Integration Information Prevent Power Supply Overload Unless the power supply has inherent overcurrent protection, do not overload the power supply output. To avoid overloading the power supply, make sure that the calculated total current load of all the modules within the computer is less than the output current rating of the power supply. If you do not do this, the power supply could overheat, catch fire, or damage the insulation that separates hazardous AC line circuitry from low-voltage user accessible circuitry.
