User manual EPOX BXAM

[. . . ] · Supports up to 768 Mega of DRAM (minimum of 16 MB) on board, You can use 168-pin DIMM x 3. It will automatically detect Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM at 66MHz only or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM) at 66MHz or 100MHz (please see Section 3-2). · BXA-M will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using paritys DRAM memory modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and correct 1-bit memory errors. · Supports (3) 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. [. . . ] · Supports Desktop Management Interface (DMI) facilitating the management of desktop computers, hardware and software components and peripherals, whether they are stand-alone systems or linked into networks. (optional) · Supports Hot key, Any key or password Keyboard power ON function (KBPO). · Supports USDM software to offer motherboard various status on Windows® 95/98, or Windows® NT 4. 0/5. 0. · Supports the CPU, PWR and Chassis fan Auto stop in sleep mode. · Supports the System Power LED (PANEL) blinks in the sleep mode. · Built-in WOL (Wake On LAN) Connector. · Built-in SB-LINK Header for Creative Blaster® AWE64D PCI Bus Sound Card.

The following will describe all of the jumpers that you are required to set before moving on to step 2. Note: The jumpers as depicted as shown (Figure 1) in their correct physical orientation.

TM TM JP 13 1 3 J7 J8 Page 4 Installation BXA-M * * * : R S D (R e se rve d ) Note: Based on the implementation of Intel 440BX PCIset, BXA-M is able to provides two host bus frequencies -- either 66 or 100MHz for Slot1 processor and memory operating. Automatically, the default is at 66MHz once Pentium® II processor to be mounted onto this motherboard. In case of Deschutes processor, it is self-adjusted to 100MHz without any manual modification required. However, no matter what kind of Slot1 processor you installed, it should come with right memory modules for normal and stable operation. For example, if you install a Deschutes processor, you should use the SDRAM module with 100MHz based(or above) to match the CPU speed. Furthermore, one thing you may need to bear in mind, before the CPU installation, it is anyway our advice to use JP3 and set up right speed of Slot1 processor at any time. You may feel like to know about AGP interface, which always runs under 66MHz no matter what frequency of processor you installed.
