Overview
Congratulations on your decision to adopt the PAK-2102 mainboard. The
mainboard combines the advanced capabilities of the VIA Apollo 580VP®
chipset with a high-performance concurrent PCI local bus architecture to provide
the ideal platform for unleashing the unsurpassed speed and power of the Intel
Pentium processor. This highly-flexible mainboard is designed to run a full range
of Intel Pentium™, Cyrix 6x86™, IBM 6x86™, and AMD-K5™ processors;
and can be easily upgraded using its 321-pin ZIF socket. The processor's
advanced performance is complemented by a second level write back Pipeline
Burst SRAM cache of up to 1MB and main memory of up to 512MB RAM. The
main memory is installed using the board's six 72-pin SIMM sockets that accept
an unrivaled choice of high-speed EDO and standard Fast Page Mode DRAM.
The PAK-2102 integrates a full set of I/O features onboard, including two 16550
UART compatible serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel port, and one
Floppy Disk Drive controller. It also comes with a built-in Enhanced IDE
controller that provides convenient, high-speed PCI Bus Master connections
with up to four IDE devices, including Hard Disk and CD-ROM drives. An
extended slot allows you to install a riser card providing ample room for further
expansion. The mainboard also features support for the state-of-the-art Universal
Serial Bus (USB) that provides ease-of-use and high-speed Plug & Play
connections to future USB compliant peripheral devices. The IrDA compliant
serial port and optional onboard SIR support further enhance system I/O
connectivity. Moreover, for advanced VGA functionality, the PAK-2102
features an onboard S3 Trio64V+™ VGA subsystem that delivers up to
1024x768x256 resolutions. The Creative Lab ViBRA 16C™ onboard audio
subsystem provides the audio environment.
This chapter gives you a brief overview of the PAK-2102 mainboard. In addition
to basic information on the board's main components and features, it also
provides advice on how to upgrade and expand it. For updated BIOS, drivers, or
