Chapter 1 Introduction of PX5

Features

The PX5 have been especially designed for File server, Workstation and

Professional users. It can support a wide range of processors, including all Intel

CPUs (P54C) and Intel CPUs with MMX (P55C), as well as all AMD-K5/K6 and

Cyrix 6x86/6x86L CPUs. It also takes into account, as much as possible, all future

CPUs.

The PX5 uses SOFT MENU™ technology, which means that all the

parameters can be configured without using DIP switches or jumpers. The

configuration is entirely achieved through a “Soft Switch” that allows the user to set

CPU speed and operating voltage with ease.

The PX5 uses Intel 430TX series chipsets, and has 256K or 512K Level-2

Pipeline Burst SRAM on board.

Two 168-pin DIMM slots and two 72-pin SIMM slots meet the requirements

for all memory configurations required by high level computing. The 168-pin

DIMM slots support traditional Fast Page and EDO DRAM as a memory standard

for next generation 64-bit systems. The two 168-pin DIMM slots have been

reserved to meet requirements for both present and future upgrades.

The PX5 also provides two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports and meets the

Concurrent PCI Rev. 2.1 standard. It also supports IDE interface for Fast HDD

(Mode 0~4) and Ultra DMA/33, as well as IDE Bus Master. These features also

meet present and future interface standards and needs.

System BIOS features include Plug-and-Play (PnP), Advanced Configuration

Power Interface (ACPI), the newest Desktop Management Interface (DMI), as well

as PX5’s unique CPU operating frequency and voltage setup feature in order to meet

modern computing demands.

Installing the Mainboard 2-1

Chapter 2 Installing the Mainboard

This PX5 mainboard not only provides all standard equipment for classic

personal computers, but also provides great flexibility for meeting future upgrade

demands. This chapter will introduce step by step all the standard equipment and

will also present, as completely as possible future upgrade capabilities. This

mainboard is able to support all Intel Pentium including P55C with MMX, Cyrix

6x86, 6x86L and AMD-K5 processors now on the market. (For details, see

specifications in Chapter 1.) However, we cannot guarantee that the description

given in this manual on the circuitry of your mainboard will work for processors not

listed in Chapter 1. For example, the operating voltage of Cyrix’s next generation

CPUs is unknown at the present time. Thus we were not able to include these

specifications in your motherboard. We will supply further information about CPU

support when new CPUs arrive on the market.

This chapter is organized according the following features:

ŒStandard external connectors

•Jumpers and switches

ŽPresentation and Installing of the CPU.

•Installing the system memory.

NNNN

Before proceeding with the installation

Before installing the mainboard please be sure to turn off or disconnect the

power supply unit. Before making any modifications to the hardware configuration

of the mainboard, the power supply to any areas of the mainboard you plan to modify

should be turned off to avoid unnecessary damage to the hardware.

User friendly instructions

Our objective is to enable the novice computer user to perform the installation by

themselves. We have attempted to write this document in a very clear, concise and

descriptive manner to help overcome any obstacles you may face during installation.

Please read our instructions carefully and follow them carefully step-by-step.
