I. INTRODUCTION
A. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
ThePT-6IFBPentium II PCI Local Bus system board is an ATX form-factor
system board. It is designed based on the Intel 82440FX PCIset system chipset and
Winbond I/O chipset. It built-in two channel PIO and Bus Master Enhanced PCI IDE
ports, one Floppy Disk control port, two high speed Serial ports (UARTs) and one
multimode Parallel port and also supports PS/2 mouse, IR and USB ports. It is designed
to fit a high performance, Pentium II (S.E.C. Cartridge) processor 233 MHz, 266 MHz
and upon based solution for high-end and true GREEN-PC computer systems.
Due to the Pentium II Processor is a 64-bit processor with RISC technology, which
offers several key features such as built-in 256KB/512KB L2 cache, 12-stage
superpipeline architecture, out of order execution .... etc, in order to optimize its
capabilities and performances, the Pentium II Processors require 32-bit Operating
Systems (such Windows NT and OS/2) and applications.
This system board supports the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Local Bus
standard (PCI Spec. Rev. 2.1 compliant). It not only breaks through the I/O bottlenecks
of the traditional ISA main board, but also provides the performance needs for
networking and multi-user environments.

I. HARDWARE SETUP
A. UNPACKING
The system board package should contain the following parts :
The PT-6IFB system board.
OPERATION MANUAL.
Cable set for IDE and Floppy device.
A. HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
Before the system board is ready to operate, the hardware must be configured to allow
for various functions within the system. To configure the PT-6IFB system board is a
simple task, only a few jumpers, connectors, cables and sockets needs to be selected and
installed. (For the detailed locations of each component please refer to page 3-1 "system
board layout" figure )
1. DRAM INSTALLATION
The PT-6IFB system board will support four banks main memory on board (bank0 :
SIMM1, SIMM2. bank1 : SIMM3, SIMM4. bank2 : SIMM5, SIMM6. Bank3 : SIMM7,
SIMM8), each bank could be single-sided or double-sided, 8MB up to 1024 MB of
local memory can be attained. It supports three types of DRAM memory either standard
fast page mode (FPM), Extended Data Out (EDO) or Burst Extended Data Out (BEDO)
memory. (Both Symmetrical and Asymmetrical DRAM addressing are supported.)
DRAM bank can be populated in any order (in other words, bank 0 does not have to be
populated before bank 1). Within any given bank, two SIMMs must be same size.
Among the two banks, SIMMs' densities could be mixed in any order. EDO, FPM and
BEDO DRAMs could be mixed between Banks, a given SIMM must contain only one
type of DRAM. When DRAM types are mixed, each SIMM runs optimized for that
particular type of DRAM.
The speed of FPM DRAMs must be used 70ns or faster than 70ns, the speed of EDO
DRAMs and BEDO DRAMs must be used 60ns or faster than 60ns.

PT-6IFB SYSTEM BOARD SPECIFICATIONS
I. 2
There is no jumper needed for DRAM configuration, DRAMs' type and size will be
detected by system BIOS automatically.
In DRAM memory subsystem, ECC and Parity can be checked on the DRAM interface
(Functions selected by BIOS via CMOS setup, please refer to Chapter 5, the default
status is parity selected.) All SIMMs must be populated with true parity bit to
implement ECC or Parity functions.
ECC is an optional data integrity feature provided by the system. This feature provides
single-bit error correction, multiple-bit error detection, and detection of all errors
confined to single nibble for DRAM memory subsystem.
The usable DRAM modules are : (Note : S = Single-sided , D = Double-sided)
1MBx32(36)-S ( 4MB) ,
2MBx32(36)-D ( 8MB) ,
4MBx32(36)-S ( 16MB) ,
8MBx32(36)-D ( 32MB) ,
16MBx32(36)-S ( 64MB) ,
32MBx32(36)-D (128MB) .
The following table is an example for DRAM memory installation, it contains several
modules combination, but not all combination, they are for reference only.
