Chapter 1. Introduction of ZH6 Features

1-1.Features of This Motherboard

The motherboard is designed for a new generation CPUs. It supports the Intel SLOT1

structure (PentiumII/III and Celeronprocessors), up to 512MB of memory, super I/O, and

Green PC functions.

The ZH6 has built-in hardware monitoring functions (you can refer to Appendix C for

detailed information), they can monitor and protect your computer insuring a safe

computing environment. The ZH6 also supports both the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse

wake up features (you can refer to section 3-8 for detailed information), letting you easily

wake up your system by these devices. The motherboard can provide high performance for

workstations and meets the requirements for desktop systems for multimedia in the future.

Sets You Free From the Y2K Threat

The potential threat of Year 2000 (Y2K) problems are making everyone very nervous. The

Y2K issue applies to almost any device, firmware, or software that operates on or with year

based dates. This problem is caused by a design flaw in the Real Time Clock (RTC) unit.

The RTC only changes the last two digits of the year code, but not the century information.

As a result, when it comes to 12:00 AM January 1, 2000 the RTC will switch from

December 31 11:59 PM 1999 to 12:00 AM January 1 1900.

Y2K compliance deals with the date change over from 31 December 1999 to 1 January 2000,

and with recording and reporting of all dates from the RTC including leap year dates. This

motherboard is free from the Y2K problem because its BIOS are Y2K compliant.

Please Note

If the operating system or application software cannot handle Year 2000 dates, you will

still be facing the Y2K threat because it is not a hardware problem that relates to the

motherboard itself. According to Award BIOS, it is BIOS source code released after 31

May 1995 complies with all known Y2K issues; however, it may still fail the 2000.exe

test. Award has modified its BIOS source code to accommodate the requirements of

2000.exe. Award BIOS source code issued later than 18 November 1996 passes the

NTSL 2000.exe test program.
