Handling Precautions
Warning :
1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on the
mainboard.
Before handling any mainboard outside of its protective packaging,
ensure that there is no static electric charge in your body.
2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.
3. iscard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Observe the following basic precautions when handling the mainboard or other
computer components:
nWear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is connected to a
natural earth ground.
nTouch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a water
pipe.
nAvoid contacting the components on add-on cards, boards and modules and
with the “gold finger” connectors plugged into the expansion slot. t is
best to handle system components by their mounting bracket.
The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged
properly.

Overview
The PTK-2110 mainboard combines the advanced capabilities of the Intel
430HX PCIset with such leading-edge features as USB support on an easily-
expandable ATX form factor to provide the ultimate platform for high-
performance Microsoft Windows 95 multimedia systems.
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 512KB and main memory of up to 512MB DRAM. The
main memory is installed using the board's four 72-pin SIMM sockets that
accept an unrivaled choice of high-speed EDO and standard Fast Page Mode
DRAM.
The PTK-2110 integrates a full set of I/O features onboard, including two
16550A UART compatible serial port, 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. Three
16-bit ISA slots and four 32-bit PCI slots provide 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 onboard SIR support further enhance system I/O
connectivity. Moreover, for advanced VGA functionality, the PTK-2110
features an onboard S3 325/ViRGE VGA subsystem that delivers resolutions of
up to 1600x1200 in 256 colors. The board also features an onboard Creative
Labs' ViBRA 16CL sound chip to deliver advanced audio performance.
This chapter gives you a brief overview of the PTK-2110 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,
