Introduction
1.2 Description
The M762A series combines the high performance and exceptional value
of AMD-760™MPX chipset with a full-featured, new generation, dual
processors server board. The AMD-760™MPX chipset is a high
performance dual processor core logic solution for AMD Athlon™ MP
processors. The AMD-762™ s stem controller support for DDR memor
technolog and AGP 4X graphics interface. The AMD-762™ chipset has
re-engineered the Value PC, providing next generation features. The
M762A is with onboard one 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet controller. In the
meantime, M762A provide two 64-Bit/66MHz PCI slots for high-end
Desktop, Workstation and Server class platforms.
The AMD® 768™ peripheral bus controller, that IDE support ATA/66 or
ATA/100 and four USB ports. The M762A meets the performance, stabilit
and reliabilit requirements.
The industrial board - M762A is suitable and valuable for all the Server
platform applications, which also well support with the Windows®
95/98/2000/SE/ME and Windows® NT operation s stem.
1.3 Features
1.3.1 Chipset Features
The M762A used the AMD-760™MPX chipset. Feature of chipset as
below:
High performance 2-wa multiprocessor core logic solution for AMD®
Athlon™ and Duron™ class processors
The chipset’s performance is attributed to an enhanced Athlon™
S stem Bus and support for DDR (Double Data Rate) memor
technolog .
Multi-Processor Extended performance above the AMD-760MPX™
Chipset.
Extended performance is offered b the 66MHz/64bit/32bit PCI bus and
feature-rich Southbridge offering PCI-to-PCI bridging capabilit along.

Introduction
Together, these components provide a powerful solution for high-end-
Desktop, Workstation and Server class platforms.
1.3.2 Ultra ATA/66/100
The AMD® 768™ peripheral bus controller provides two channel Ultra ATA-
33/66/100 Bus Master IDE controller, that support Ultra ATA-33/66/100
protocols, perfect for such demanding applications as real-time video,
multimedia, and high performance operating s stem. A new IDE cable is
required for Ultra ATA-33/66/100. This cable is an 80-conductor cable;
however the connectors are, of course, backwards compatible with ATA-
33.
1.3.3 Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring allows ou to monitor various aspects of our
s stems operations and status. The features include CPU temperature,
voltage and RPM of fan.
1.3.4 I/O Shield Connector
The board is equipped with an I/O back panel. Please use the appropriate
I/O shield (figure 1).
