Product Description
This chapter describes the features of the
PD440FX motherboard. The remaining chapters
explain how to:
l Use the BIOS Setup program to modify the
motherboard’s configuration
l
Install components like processors or
memory
l
Interpret error messages you might
encounter while running the computer
Figure 1 shows the components on the
motherboard. Figure 2 shows the back panel
connectors on the motherboard.
Microprocessor
The PD440FX motherboard supports 233 MHz
and 266 MHz Intel Pentium@ II processors with
MMX’” technology and 256 KB or 512 KB
secondary (L2) cache.
The Pentium II processor is packaged in a
Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.) Cartridge that
mounts in the Slot 1 processor connector on the
motherboard.
Main Memory (DRAM)
The motherboard supports up to 256 MB of
DRAM. DRAM is implemented through four
72-pin SIMMt sockets. The motherboard
contains four SIMM sockets. To add memory to
the motherboard, see Chapter 3. For the
motherboard’s main memory map, see
Chapter 5.
Memory error checking and correction is
supported with parity or ECC SIMMs. Parity or
ECC SIMMs are automatically detected;
however, the user must enter Setup to configure
SIMMs for either parity or ECC operation. Parity
memory will detect single-bit errors. ECC
memory will detect multi-bit errors and correct

PCIADE Peripheral Interface
The motherboard has a high-speed, 32-bit
PCVIDE interface that supports the following:
l Up to four PCVIDE hard drives on the PCI
bus
l PI0 Mode 3 and Mode 4 hard drives
l Logical block addressing (LBA) of hard
drives larger than 528 MB
l Extended Cylinder Head Sector (ECHS)
translation modes
l ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROMs)

1 Product Description
I/O Features
The I/O controller integrates the functions for the
serial ports, parallel port, diskette drive, and
keyboard. This component provides:
l Multimode bidirectional parallel port:
- Standard mode: Centronics-compatible
operation
- High-speed mode: support for enhanced
capabilities port (ECP) and enhanced
parallel port (EPP)
l Two RS-232C NS16C450/550compatible
g-pin serial ports
l Integrated real-time clock with an accuracy of
+13 minutes/year at 25 OC and 5 V
l Integrated 8042compatible keyboard
controller
l Flexible IRQ and DMA mapping to support
Windowst 95
l Support for an IrDAt or Consumer IR
compatible infrared interface. The infrared
interface supports data transfer rates of up to
115 K baud with either half- or full-duplex
operation
l Industry standard diskette drive controller
that supports 720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB
3.5.inch drives (at 135 tracks per inch); and
360 KB and 1.2 MB 5.25-inch drives
BIOS Features
The BIOS, from American Megatrends, Inc.
(AMI), provides ISA and PCI compatibility. The
BIOS is contained in a Flash memory device
soldered to the motherboard. The BIOS
provides the POST, the Setup program, a PCI
and IDE auto-configuration utility, and BIOS
recovery code.
PCI Auto-configuration
The PCI auto-configuration utility works in
conjunction with the Setup program to support
using PCI add-in cards in the computer. When
you turn on the power after installing a PCI card,
the BIOS automatically configures interrupts,
DMA channels, and I/O space. Since PCI add-in
cards use the same interrupt resources as ISA
add-in cards, you must specify the interrupts
used by ISA cards in the Setup program. The
