Introduction Figure 3: OEM Pentium III Processor 1.6 What is AGP? The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports an AGP port. The main purpose of the AGP port is to provide fast access to system memory. The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs.32-Bits at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and side band addressing. When the 2x-data rate is used the port can transmit data at 533MB/sec (66.6*2*4).

6BXC 3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION 3.1. UNPACKING The main board package should contain the following: • The 6BXC main board. • Universal Retention Mechanism & Attach Mount • USER’ S MANUAL for main board. • Cable set for IDE, Floppy devices. • Diskette or CD for main board Utility. The main board contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the main board should be left in its original packing until it is installed.

The user can change the DIP SWITCH (SW2) selection to set up the CPU speed for different processors. The CPU speed must match with the frequency RATIO and Front Side Bus (FSB) speed. It will cause system hanging up if the frequency RATIO and FSB Speed do not match with the CPU. DIP SWITCH (SW2) FREQ. EXT.CLK. RATIO MHz (SW2) (SW1) AGP INT.CLK.

Hardware Installation 3.6. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM There're RTC & CMOS SRAM on board; they have a power supply from external battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC is a REALTIME CLOCK device, which provides the DATE & TIME to system. The CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of system configuration, so the system can automatically boot OS every time. Since the lifetime of internal battery is 5 years, the user can change a new Battery to replace old one after it cannot work.
6BXC 3.11. PERIPHERAL DEVICE INSTALLATION After the I/O device installation and jumpers setup, the main board can be mounted into the case and fixed by screw. To complete the main board installation, the peripheral device could be installed now. The basic system needs a display interface card. If the PCI - Bus device is to be installed in the system, any one of four PCI - Bus slots can be used. 3.12. KEYBOARD & PS/2 MOUSE INSTALLATION The main board supports PS/2 Mouse (J2).
