Getting Started 2
This chapter identifies the evaluation kit’s key components, features and specifications. It also tells
you how to set up the board for operation.
2.1 Overview
The evaluation board consists of a baseboard (with one Intel
®
Pentium
®
III processor populated),
815E chipset, and other system board components and peripheral connectors.
Note: The evaluation board is shipped as an open system allowing for maximum flexibility in changing
hardware configuration and peripherals. Since the board is not in a protective chassis, take extra
precaution when handling and operating the system.
2.1.1 Baseboard Features
Note: ABIT manufactured the Intel
®
815E Scalable Performance Board in compliance with Rev. 0.93 of
