  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction This manual describes the Viglen SX220 system and the SCB2 motherboard. The motherboard is the most important part of your computer. It contains all of the CPU, memory and graphics circuitry that makes the computer work. The motherboard contains the very latest in CPU design, the Intel Pentium III processors, which include MMX, Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions and Tualatin technology.
  • Page 7 The SX220 system consists of the following major components: The chassis and its subassemblies, device bays, and front bezel A slim-line CD-ROM drive & Floppy Disk Drive The power supply The cooling system SCB2 Motherboard & PCI riser cards The major component of the kit is the chassis. It is important to become familiar with the chassis both externally and internally and the security features it provides.
