User manual EPOX EP-BXB

[. . . ] It will automatically detect Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM) · BXB will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using parity DRAM memory modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and correct 1-bit memory errors. · Supports (2) 16 bit ISA slots, (4) 32 bit PCI slots, (1) AGP slot and provides (2) independent high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO Mode 3/4 and Ultra DMA 33 devices. The BXB supports (4) PCI Bus Master slots and a jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces configuration confusion when plugging in PCI card(s). · Supports ATAPI (e. g.

The following will describe all of the jumpers that are required to be set before moving on to step 2. Note: The jumpers as shown in Figure 1 are in their correct physical orientation. JP1: 1 JP13: 1 J1: CMOS Clear JP1: = 1-2 - Run Mode (Default) = 2-3 - Clear CMOS Keyboard Power-ON function (see page 3-12) JP13: = 1-2 - Enable = 2-3 - Disable (Default) SB-LINK Header: Reserved for Creative Labs AWE64D PCI sound card which allows for DOS mode compatibility. WOL (Wake On Lan): Reserved for NIC (Network Interface Card) which when used with compatible software will allow the system to be powered on remotely using a network connection.

The motherboard will automatically detect the correct FSB and set accordingly unless JP100 is set otherwise (see jumper JP100 below). The primary and secondary processor slots both operate synchronously at either 66MHz or 100MHz FSB, therefore if two processors are used both will need to be of the same type and speed; otherwise the lower of the two FSB frequencies will be set. When selecting memory for use on your 2theMax brand motherboard we recommend using only the finest quality modules. 2theMax would like to stress that using non-compliant PC100 SDRAM modules with a 100MHz FSB severely compromises the integrity of the system. JP100: 1 (FSB) Bus Clock Selection JP100: = 1-2 - AUTO (Default) = 2-3 - PC100 Only (100MHz FSB) Page 6 BXB Installation System Memory Configuration Memory Layout The BXB supports (4) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO (Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM). · SDRAM DIMM may be 100 MHz (10ns) or 125 MHz (8ns) bus speed. · SDRAM DIMM may be 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, or 256MB registered (see table 2). · If using 50ns and 60ns EDO DIMM together you must set BIOS for 60ns. · Table 2 shows compatible SDRAM components types according to Intel 440BX datasheets.

Using the Soft-Off by Pwr-BTTN feature, you can choose either Instant Off (turns system off immediately), or 4 sec delay (you need to hold the button down for 4 seconds before the system turns off). [. . . ] Due to the design characteristics of SE mode devices the cable length per connector should never exceed 3 meters with up to 4 SCSI devices and 1. 5 meters with up to 8 SCSI devices. External SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI bus through the use of the included "external SCSI-2 port adapter. " To use external SCSI devices simply use onboard connector SCJ2 with an internal 50pin SCSI cable. One end of the cable must attach to SCJ2 and the other end connects to the external port adapter.
