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

Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the features, specifications and

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.
