Introduction

The PP6-NF motherboard is a high performance system hardware

based on Intel Pentium Pro processor and is equipped with four PCI slots,

four standard ISA slots, Super Multi-I/O controller and dual ports PCI-

IDE connectors for the future expansion. The hardware dimension is Full

ATX form factor with four layer design technology.

1-1 Pentium Pro Processer Overview

The Intel Pentium Pro Processor is the 6th generation in the Intel

386TM, Intel 486TM, and Pentium family of processors. The Pentium Pro

Processor has several key features such as 12-stage superpipeline architec-

ture, Built-in 256KB/512KB cache, Out of order execution, dynamic

branch prediction & speculative execution and a pipestage time 33 percent

less than the Pentium Processor, which helps achieve a higer clock rate

on any given Process. It will be superpipelined for high clock speed from

150MHz up to 233MHz. The Pentium Pro Processor was used to the

Dynamic Execution that is the combination of improved branch predic-

tion, speculative execution and data flow analysis that enables the Pentium

Pro processor to deliver its superior performance from CPU architecture.

The Pentium Pro Processor is a 64 bit processor with RISC technology. It

requires 32-bit applications (like Microsoft Windows NT and OS/2) to

optimize its capabilities and performances. The Pentium Pro processor

delivers best value for businesses moving to 32-bit computing when useing

the 32-bit Operating System and Applications.

1-2 Specification

Intel 82440FX PCIset chipset.

Intel Pentium Pro Processor operating at133 ~ 233 MHz with 387 ZIF

socket 8 is scalable to accept faster Processors in the future. The Pentium

Pro Processor is the next in the Intel386TM, Intel486TM, and Pentium family

of processor. The second Level Cache (L2), controller are some of the

components that existed in the Pentium Pro Processor.

Onboard VRM supports full line Pentium Pro CPU.(need No VRM in

Header 8)

Supports up to 768 MegaBytes DRAM(minimum of 8 MB) on board(72

Pin SIMM x 6, and BIOS auto FP DRAM, EDO and Burst EDO DRAM

detection and configuration.(Refer to Chapter 2-3 System Memory

Configuration)

Supports four 16 bits ISA slots, four 32 bits PCI slots, and provides two

independent high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting

PIO Mode 3 and Mode 4 devices. The PP6-NF supports four PCI Bus

Masters and a jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces

configuration confusion when plugging in PCI I/O controller card(s).

Supports ATAPI (e.g.CD-ROM) devices on both IDE interfaces.

Supports 1 floppy port, 1 parallel port (EPP,ECP port), and 2 serial ports

(16550 Fast UART compatible).

Supports aPS/2 style mouse and a PS/2 style AT keyboard connectors.

Supports Award Plug & Play BIOS . The BIOS is stored in Flash EPROM

form. It provides better upgradeability for the system.

Supports CPU Hardware sleep and SMM (System Management Mode).

PP6-NF utilizes Lithium battery which provides environmental protection

and longer life time.

Supports the USB connector for the future.

Supports ATX power Supply Connectors.

Supports PWR/ON Switch when ATX power Supply is plugged

Four Layer design technology and 245mm x 305mm full ATX form

factor.

Hardware design

2-1 Motherboard Layout

The PP6-NFis designed with Intel 82440FX PCIset chipset which is developed

by INTEL Corporation to fully support Pentium Pro Processor PCI/ISA system.

The Intel 82440FX PCIset chipset provides increased integration and improved

performance designs. The chipset provides an integrated IDE controller with two

high performance IDE interfaces for up to four IDE devices (hard devices, CD-

ROM device, etc). The SMC 37C669 Super I/O controller provides the standard PC

I/O function: floppy interface, two 16 Byte FIFO serial ports and EPP/ECP capable

parallel port. The PP6-NF layout is shown in nexts page ( Figure 1-1 ) for user's

reference. Care must be taken when inserting memory modules, inserting Pentium

Pro processor CPU or even plugging PCI card into associated slots to avoid

damaging any circuits or sockets on board. A right fan and heatsink fan is strongly

recommended when installing Pentium Pro processor due to possible overheat.

The PP6-NFsupports minimum of 8MB of System Memory and maximum of

768MB while L2 Cache and cache controller included in Pentium Pro Processor

CPU.

The PP6-NFsupports standard Fast Page, EDO (Extended Data Out or Hyper

Page Mode) or Burst EDO DRAM.The PP6-NFprovides six 72-pins SIMM

sites for memory expansion. The socket support 1M x 32(4MB), 2M x 32(8MB),

4M x 32(16MB), 8M x 32(32MB) 16MB x 32(64MB), and 32MB x 32(128MB)

single-sided or double-sided memory modules. The memory timing requires 70 nS

Fast page devices or 60 nS EDO DRAM. Memory parity generation and checking

or ECC(Error Checking and Correction) are supported(DRAM Modules may be

parity (x 72)or non-parity(x 64)or ECC(x 72). The BIOS will automaticlly detect

which DRAM has installed in SIMM sites.

The PP6-NF supports Onboard two PCI IDE connectors, and detects IDE

harddisk type by BIOS utility automatically.

The PP6-NF supports Award Plug & Play BIOS for the ISA and PCI cards. The

BIOS can be located in Flash EPROM. The advantage of having Flash EPROM is

much easier to replace BIOS code if necessary.

The PP6-NF's motherboard layout and system block diagram are shown in

Figure 1-1, 1-2.
