User manual EPOX EP-BX3

[. . . ] · Supports up to 768 MB 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). · BX3 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 (2) 16 bit ISA slots, (5) 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. [. . . ] · Power Loss Recovery - In the event of a power outage your system will automatically turn itself back on without user intervention. · Supports CPU Hardware sleep and SMM (System Management Mode). · 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 default is set at 100MHz once Pentium® II processor to be mounted onto this motherboard. 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 Pentium® III 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. Page 5 BX3 Installation System Memory Configuration Memory Layout The BX3 supports (3) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO (Extended Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM). [. . . ] GND KeyLock - Keyboard lock switch & Power LED connector 1.
