Back Panel Connectors

The motherboard external IO connectors are attached to a metallic I/O shield.

This shield serves several purposes:

•It protects the sensitive motherboard from any external EMC problems.

•It stops the computer from interfering with other electrical devices.

•It allows the motherboard to be easily upgraded in the future without having to

resort to buying a whole new case. Simply change the I/O shield to match the

motherboard.

The I/O shield provides external access to PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors as

well as one serial port, one parallel port, the VGA port and a RJ45 Local Area

Network (LAN) connection.

NOTE:

The mouse and keyboard can be plugged into either of the PS/2 connectors. Power to the

computer should be turned off before a keyboard or mouse is connected or disconnected.

Microprocessor

The motherboard supports dual Pentium II processor’s. The processor’s VID pins

automatically program the voltage regulator on the motherboard to the required

processor voltage. The motherboard currently supports processor’s that run

internally at 233, 266, 300, 333, 350 and 400MHz all with 512 KB second-level

cache. The processor’s implements MMX ™technology and maintains full backward

compatibility with the 8086, 80286, Intel386 ™, Intel486 ™, Pentium, and Pentium

Pro processors. The processor’s numeric coprocessor significantly increases the

speed of floating-point operations and complies with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.

Microprocessor Packaging

The Pentium II processor is a Single Edge Contact (SEC) Cartridge that connects to

the motherboard through Slot 1, a 242-pin edge connector. The Pentium II

processor S.E.C. Cartridge consists of:

•Processor card including the processor core and the second-level cache:

burst pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM)

•Thermal plate

•Back cover

When the Pentium II processor’s are mounted into the Slot 1 connectors, they are

secured by a retention mechanism attached to the motherboard.

Second Level Cache

The second-level cache is located on the substrate of the SEC cartridge. The cache

includes burst pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM). There are four BSRAM

components totaling 512 KB in size. All supported onboard memory can be cached.

Processor Upgrades

The motherboard can be upgraded with Pentium II processors that run at higher

speeds. When upgrading the processor the USER must manually configure the

processor speed’s.

Memory

Main Memory

The motherboard has four dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. Minimum

memory size is 16 MB; maximum memory size is 512 MB with 1 GB being available

in the future with the use of double-banked DIMMs. The BIOS automatically detects

memory type, size, and speed.

The motherboard supports the following memory features:

•168-pin DIMMS with gold-plated contacts.

•100 MHz PC/100 SDRAM only.

•ECC (72-bit) 3.3 V memory only.

•Single or double-banked DIMMs in the following sizes:

Table 1

DIMM Size ECC Configuration

16 MB 2 Mbit x 72

32 MB 4 Mbit x 72

64 MB 8 Mbit x 72

128 MB 16 Mbit x 72

256 MB 32 Mbit x 72

Memory can be installed in one, two, three or four sockets. Memory size can vary

between the sockets.

SDRAM

Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) improves memory performance through memory

access that is synchronous with the memory clock. This simplifies the timing design

and increases memory speed because all timing is dependent on the number of

memory clock cycles.

NOTE:

To function properly, SDRAM DIMMS must meet the PC/100, 100 MHz, and unbuffered

SDRAM specification for 72-bit SDRAM.

ECC Memory

Error checking and correcting (ECC) memory detects multiple-bit errors and corrects

single-bit errors.

Chipset

The Intel 440BX chipset is the latest generation of Intel’s PCI set and is designed for

the Pentium II processor. It consists of the Intel 82443BX PCI/A.G.P. controller

(PAC) and the Intel 82371EB PCI/ISA/IDE controller (PIIX4) bridge chip.

Intel 82443BX PCI/A.G.P. Controller (PAC)

The PAC provides bus-control signals, address paths, and data paths for transfers

between the processor’s host bus, PCI bus, and main memory. The PAC comes in a

492-pin BGA package and features:

•Processor interface control

Processor host bus speed of 100 MHz or 66 MHz

32-bit addressing

GTL+ compliant host bus

Write-combining for host-to-PCI burst writes

Supports concurrent host, PCI, and A.G.P. transactions to main memory

•Support for system management mode (SMM)

Intel 82371EB PCI ISA IDE controller (PIIX4)

The PIIX4 is a multifunction PCI device implementing the PCI-to-ISA Bridge, and PCI

IDE functionality. The PIIX4 comes in a 324-pin MBGA package that features:

IDE Support

The motherboard has two independent bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces. These

interfaces support PIO Mode 3, PIO Mode 4, ATAPI devices (e.g., CD-ROM), and

DMA mode transfers. The BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and

cylinder head sector (CHS) translation modes. The BIOS automatically detects the

IDE device transfer rate and translation mode.

Programmed I/O operations usually require a substantial amount of processor

bandwidth. However, in multitasking operating systems, the bandwidth freed by bus

mastering IDE can be devoted to other tasks while disk transfers are occurring.

LS-120 Support

LS-120 MB Diskette technology enables you to store 120MB of data on a single, 3.5”

removable diskette. LS-120 technology is backward (both read and write)

compatible with 1.44MB and 720KB DOS-formatted diskette and is supported by the

Windows NT operating system.

The N440BX board allows connection of an LS-120 compatible drive and a standard

3½” floppy drive. The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device before a

floppy drive, if selected in the BIOS setup utility.

NOTE:

If you connect an LS-120 drive to an IDE connector and configure it as the “A” drive and

configure a standard 3.5” floppy as “B” drive, the standard floppy must be connected to the

floppy drive cable’s “A” connector (the connector at the end of the cable).

The BIOS setup utility can be configured to boot firstly from either the LS120 or standard 3½

“ floppy drive.

Real-time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery

The real-time clock is compatible with DS1287 and MC146818 components. The

clock provides a time-of-day clock and a multicentury calendar with alarm features

and century rollover. The real-time clock supports 256 bytes of battery-backed

CMOS SRAM in two banks that are reserved for BIOS use.

The time, date, and CMOS values can be specified in the Setup program. The

CMOS values can be returned to their defaults by using the Setup program.

An external coin-cell battery powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When

the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of

three years. When the computer is plugged in, the 3.3-V standby current from the

power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ±13

minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 V applied.

Super I/O Controller

The PC87309 Super I/O Controller from National Semiconductor is an ISA Plug and

Play compatible, multifunction I/O device that provides the following features:

•Serial ports

Two 16450/16550A-software compatible UARTs

Internal send/receive 16-byte FIFO buffer

Four internal 8-bit DMA options for the UART with SIR support (USI)

•Multimode bidirectional parallel port

Standard mode: IBM and Centronics compatible

Enhanced parallel port (EPP) mode with BIOS and driver support

High-speed extended capabilities port (ECP) mode

•Floppy disk controller

DP8473 and N82077 compatible

By default, the I/O controller interfaces are automatically configured during boot up.

The I/O controller can also be manually configured in the Setup program.

Serial Ports

other connected to a 10pin header and is relocatable.
