[. . . ] With Flash Memory you can always upgrade to the current BIOS as they are released. (http://www. 2themax. com/ please visit our Technical Support section for the latest updates) · BXB utilizes a Lithium battery which provides environmental protection and longer battery life. · Supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. The onboard PIIX4 chip provides the means for connecting PC peripherals such as keyboards, joysticks, telephones, and modems. · Built-in ATX 20-pin power supply connector. · Software power-down when using Windows® 95/98. [. . . ] 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. Page 5 J7: Installation Single or Dual Processor Selection BXB ESSJ CPU Clock Rate JP3: 66MHz FSB 1 200MHz 233MHz 266MHz 300MHz 333MHz (RSD) 366MHz CPU Clock Rate 100MHz FSB 300MHz 350MHz 400MHz 450MHz 500MHz (RSD) 550MHz (RSD) * Default at 266MHz (66MHz FSB) * RSD (Reserved for future use) NOTE: Based on the implementation of the Intel 440BX AGPset the BXB is able to provide two front side bus (FSB) frequencies -- either 66MHz or 100MHz for Slot 1 processors and memory operations. 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 using the 100MHz FSB you must use PC100 compliant SDRAM. Memory is an important component of any 100MHz motherboard. 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). Do not mix EDO DIMM and SDRAM DIMM in the system. · 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). · 100MHz FSB frequency requires PC100 compliant SDRAM memory. · 4 clock SDRAM is recommended instead of 2 clock. · If using 50ns and 60ns EDO DIMM together you must set BIOS for 60ns. · Table 1 shows several possible memory configurations. · Table 2 shows compatible SDRAM components types according to Intel 440BX datasheets.

[. . . ] The 15 devices can be a combination of LVD Ultra-2 devices and/or SE Legacy devices but note that the SE Legacy controller can support up to 8 devices only!Provided on the motherboard are three SCSI connectors. The first two being SCJ1 and SCJ2 are provided for single-ended (SE) legacy SCSI devices and will operate at a data transfer rate of 40 Mbytes/sec (max. ) using the 68-pin "Wide" connector and 20 Mbytes/sec (max. ) using the 50-pin "Narrow" connector. It is strongly recommended that all legacy SCSI devices be connected to either one of these two connectors. [. . . ]
