Introducing the Mainboard

Thank you for choosing KOB P4X266a NDSUX mainboard. The KOB

P4X266a NDSUX mainboard is an ATX mainboard that uses a 4-layer printed

circuit board and measures 305 mm x 190 mm. The mainboard features a

Socket 478 that accommodates Intel Pentium 4 processors supporting system

bus (FSB) speeds of 400 MHz.

The KOB P4X266a NDSUX incorporates the VIA VT8753A Northbridge and

VT8233A (or VT8233) Southbridge chipsets which supports the AC 97 audio

codec, which combines support for DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM up to 3

GB.

Note: SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on whether

the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz. Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM)

doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps or 2.1 GBps by transferring data on both the ris-

ing and falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional power and

ground lines and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin

DIMMs used by SDRAM.

Compare the mainboard’s package contents with the following checklist:

Standard Items

• One mainboard

• One diskette drive ribbon cable

• One IDE drive ribbon cable

• One Retention Module

• Software support CD

• This user’s manual

Processor The KOB P4X266a NDSUX mainboard includes a Socket 478

that has the following features:

• Supports up to a 400/533 MHz system bus (FSB)

• Accommodates Intel Pentium 4 processors.

Chipset There are VT8753A Northbridge and VT8233A Southbridge in

this chipset in accordance with an innovative and scalable

architecture with proven reliability and performance. A few of

the chipset’s advanced features are:

• An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture that

provides the 266 MB/s bandwidth and performance nec-

essary for even the most demanding Internet and 3D

graphics

• Support for a 4xAGP interface providing vivid 3D graphics

and video performance

• An ATA 133 interface on the chipset, which helps boost

system performance by providing a high-speed connec-

tion to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, delivering maximum

sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec

Additional key features include support for four USB ports, an

AC 97 link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring, and

ACPI/OnNow power management.

Note: This mainboard incorporates either VT8233A or

VT8233 Southbridge chipset.

Memory The mainboard supports DDR 266 SDRAM. It accommodates

three unbuffered 2.5V 184-pin slots. Each slot supports up to 1

GB with a total maximum capacity of 3 GB.

AGP The KOB P4X266a NDSUX includes a 4xAGP slot that pro-

vides eight times the bandwidth of the original AGP

specification. AGP technology provides a direct connection

between the graphics sub-system and the processor so that

the graphics do not have to compete for processor time with

other devices on the PCI bus.

AC’ 97 Audio

Codec

The AC’ 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2.2 speci-

fication, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Converter)

and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as well as 18-bit

stereo full-duplex codec with independent and variable sam-

pling rates. Further features include support for four analog

line-level stereo inputs.

USB USB 1.1

The VT8233A or VT8233 Southbridge chipset features the

USB 1.1 specification which can support for four USB ports.

However, if the mainboard comes with VIA VT6202, then the

mainboard supports the USB 2.0 specification.

USB 2.0 (optional)

The VIA VT6202 PCI USB 2.0 Controller is compliant with

Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.

The USB 2.0 su

orts data transfer rates u

to 480MB/sec for

high-speed devices and specifies a microframe that will be

1/8th of a 1msec frame. This allows the USB 2.0 devices to

have small buffers even at high data rates.

The USB 1.1 connectors and other full speed cables can sup-

port the higher speed of USB 2.0 without any changes.

The chipset has the following advanced USB features:

• Compliant with Enhanced Host Controller Interface

(EHCI) Specification Revision 0.95 and Universal Host

Controller Interface (UHCI) Specification Revision 1.1

• PCI multi-function device consists of two UHCI Host Control-

lers for full/low-speed signaling and one EHCI Host

• Controller core for high-speed signaling

• Supports PCI-Bus Power Management Interface Specifi-

cation release 1.1

• Legacy support for all downstream facing ports

Expansion

Options

KOB P4X266a NDSUX has four 32-bit PCI slots, an AGP slot,

a CNR (Communications and Networking Riser) slot, and an

onboard PCI LAN interface (optional).

The KOB P4X266a NDSUX PCI slots are capable of Ultra

DMA bus mastering with transfer rates of 33/66/100/133

MB/sec.

Note: If the mainboard incorporates the VT8233A

Southbridge chipset, the Ultra DMA bus master-

ing can support up to 133 MB/sec transfer rate.

For VT8233 Southbridge chipset, the transfer rate

can support up to 100MB/sec only.

Integrated I/O The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and connectors:

• Two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard

• Two serial port

• One parallel port

• One MIDI/game port

• Two USB ports

• Audio jacks for microphone, line-in and line-out

BIOS

Firmware

This mainboard uses Award BIOS that enables users to con-

figure many system features including the following:

• Power management

• Wake-up alarms

• CPU parameters

• CPU and memory timing

The firmware can also be used to set parameters for different

processor clock speeds.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard com-

plies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some features on the

mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indi-

cators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all

the features required. The mainboard can support one or two floppy diskette

drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient

power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that

the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge

of the mainboard.

This mainboard has an ATX form factor of 305 x 190 mm. Choose a case that

accommodates this form factor.
