[. . . ] Chapter 1 Overview MX6B EZ is a new generation Pentium II / Pentium III based system board that utilizes Intel 82440ZX/BX AGPset on Micro ATX PCI/ISA platform. This AGPset is designed for the Pentium II / Pentium III / Celeron CPU, and supports new architectures such as a high speed AGP graphics port, SDRAM, Ultra DMA/33, Bus master IDE and USB ports. It has three Dual in-line Memory Module (DIMM) slots that allow to install SDRAM memory and expand up to a maximum of 512MB. Since the cache is on the CPU card (connector SLOT1), there is no secondary level cache onboard. [. . . ] One parallel port supports standard parallel port (SPP), enhanced parallel port (EPP) or extended capabilities port (ECP). Floppy interface supports 3. 5 inches drives with 720KB, 1. 44MB or 2. 88MB format or 5. 25 inches drives with 360KB, 1. 2MB format Dual-channel IDE interface support maximum 4 IDE hard disks or CDROM, mode 4 , bus master hard disk drives and Ultra DMA/33 mode hard drives are also supported. Two USB ports supported by USB bracket, the BIOS also supports USB driver to simulate legacy keyboard. Mini-Din PS/2 keyboard connector onboard. Lithium (CR-2032) battery is an option, no battery is needed if power cord is plugged. AWARD Plug-and-Play, 2M bit Flash ROM BIOS. Multi-language versions supported.

Next time, when power is on, you can resume your original work directly from hard disk within few seconds without go through the Win95 booting process and run your application again. If your memory is 16MB, normally, you need to reserve at least 16MB HDD space to save your memory image. Note that you have to use VESA compatible PCI VGA (AOpen PV70/PT70), Sound Blaster compatible sound card and sound driver that supports APM (AOpen AW32/AW35) for Suspend to Hard Drive to work properly. Of course, we recommend choosing AOpen products for best compatibility. Go into BIOS setup, Power Management à Suspend Mode Option, select "Suspend to Disk". Go into BIOS setup, PNP/PCI Configuration à PnP OS Installed, select "No". This can give BIOS the capability to allocate system resources for Suspend to Hard Drive. Boot up your system into DOS command prompt. If you are Win'95 user, Please restart your Windows 95 under "Command Prompt" by pressing "F8" while system shows "Windows 95 Starting . . . ". Choose "Safe Mode Command Prompt Only" from selection so that system will start in DOS command prompt. Copy AOZVHDD. EXE to the root directory of your C: drive. Option 1: Use /file switch (applied to FAT16 file system): Please use following command to create a hidden file in the root directory of your hard disk for Suspend to Hard Drive to save the system status and memory image. C:>AOZVHDD /c /file Please make sure that you have enough continuous HDD space for creating this hidden file. For example, if you have 32MB of system memory and 4MB of VGA memory, you need at least 36MB (32MB + 4MB) of continuous HDD space. If AOZVHDD failed to allocate the HDD space, you may run "DEFRAG" Utility or "Disk Defragmenter" which come with MSDOS or Win'95 to free HDD space. 1-5 Overview Option2: Use /partition switch (applied to FAT16/FAT32 file system): To create a separate partition for Suspend to Hard Drive, please make sure you have reserved a free partition. [. . . ] Turn the system power off by soft power switch. Connect the 4-pin Wake On Modem cable from FM56-P RING connector to the MX6B EZ WOM connector. Connect your telephone line to the FM56-P modem. Go into the BIOS Setup, select Power Management and à 0V Wake On Modem. [. . . ]
