Preface
About This Manual
This manual is written for system houses, PC technicians and
knowledgeable PC end users. It provides information for the instal-
lation and use of the SUPER™ P6DNF/P6SNF motherboard, which
supports the 200/180/166/150 and >200 MHz Intel®Pentium® Pro
processors.
The Pentium Pro processor has two 64-bit data buses. One bus
interconnects to the built-in L2 cache and the other is an external
bus that interconnects with the system memory, I/O and the other
processor. Both come with ECC (Error Checking and Correction)
allowing for the correction of single-bit data errors and detection of
2-bit errors on the data bus.
Manual Organization

detailed information about the chipset, and offers warranty informa-
tion.
Refer to Chapter 2, Installation, for a list of the equipment needed
for a system based on the SUPER P6DNF/P6SNF system board.
This chapter provides you with the instructions for handling static-
sensitive devices, checking and/or configuring the jumpers. Read
this chapter when you want to install or remove SIMM memory mod-
ules and to mount the system board in the chassis. Also refer to
this chapter to connect the floppy and hard disk drives, IDE inter-
face, parallel port, serial ports, as well as the cables for the power
supply, reset cable, Keylock/Power LED, speaker and keyboard.
If you encounter any problem, please see Chapter 3, Troubleshoot-
ing, which describes troubleshooting procedures for video, memo-
ry, and the setup configuration stored in memory. Instructions are
also included on contacting a technical assistance support repre-
sentative and returning merchandise for service and the BBS# for
BIOS upgrades .

Introduction
1-1 Overview
SUPER™ P6DNF/P6SNF is a high performance, function-enhanced
computer system board based on Intel®Pentium® Pro 200/180/166/
150 MHz processors. SUPER P6DNF/P6SNF incorporates Intel
440FX chipset. It supports dual processing (SUPER P6DNF) and
FPM or EDO memory of up to 1GB.
The Pentium Pro processor is Intel’s top-of-the-line generation of
performance for servers, workstations, and high-end desktops. It
delivers its superior performance through its Dynamic Execution
microarchitecture which allows multiple branch prediction, dataflow
analysis and speculative execution.
The Pentium Pro processor includes 16KB of internal cache and an
integrated 256KB or 512KB non-blocking secondary cache in the
same package. Having the L2 cache inside the package will not
only save space, it will also have the CPU core communicating with
the L2 cache at full speed. Non-blocking means that the transac-
tions on the processor bus do not block subsequent bus transac-
tions. For example, when a cache miss occurs, the processor will
continue to process other instructions while initiating a bus trans-
action to satisfy the cache miss. These instructions could generate
additional cache misses which could cause more bus transactions.
The Pentium Pro processor can maintain up to four concurrent re-
quests of the bus.
The general purpose registers of the Pentium Pro processor are
the same as on previous generations. The processor bus achieves
high bus efficiency by providing support for multiple, pipelined
transactions and deferred replies. A single processor may have up
to 4 outstanding transactions at the same time. There are a variety

of wider datapaths both inside and outside the chip. It has an
external 64-bit bus in order to communicate more efficiently with the
system memory. The package have two cavities with about 21 mil-
lion transistors. The larger one is the CPU core with 5.5 million
transistors. The smaller one is the non-blocking cache which con-
tains 15.5 million transistors.
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) provides industry-leading
performance and compatibility. The 32-bit, 33 MHz pathway to the
CPU offers performance unmatched by other bus architectures. The
PCI standard is clearly defined to ensure complete compatibility. A
PCI add-on card available today will work in any PC-compliant sys-
tem in the future. The PCI add-on card interface is processor inde-
pendent. This will enable an efficient transition to future processor
generations and use with multiple processor architecture.
In addition to the security of a true standard, PCI add-on cards fea-
ture auto-configurability for easy integration. The user-friendly BIOS
automatically allocates system resources for add-on cards and con-
figures hard disk, memory, and other peripherals. No more
hassles with settings, jumpers, or switches. Just plug in the card
and go (Plug and Play or PnP).
The motherboard’s four 32-bit slots with industry standard PCI de-
sign have a very high performance capability that provides an ideal
system board solution for a wide range of demanding applications;
such as networking multiuser environments, computer aided
design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-
aided engineering (CAE), database management, desktop publish-
ing, image processing, and artificial intelligence. The
motherboard’s additional four ISA slots provide standard 16-bit
compatibility for AT-type add-on card expansion.
