Quick Installation
Step 1. Install Pentium Pro CPU
Pull up theCPU handlebar, place the CPU into the socket in
gentle/ horizontalway then pull down the handle barback to
its original place. There is no first or seond CPU socket if only
single Pentium Pro CPU is installed, you can insert the single
Pentium Pro CPU in either socket 8.

Step 3. Adjust the CPU frequency
With the special patented design on this motherboard.Only
one jumperneeded to set this Pentium Pro CPU frequency.
Simply insert the jumper cap to the CPU frequency as it was
marked on top of the Pentium Pro CPU.Once the jumpercap
was inserted, it will automatically caculate the Internal/
External Clock and CLKMUL (Clock Multiplier).

Step 8. Install the Reset switch
Most computerchassis provides a reset switch to front pannel
control. Use thechassis provides a 2 pin housing and connect
to this reset switch(any direction can function this). This will
provides the system a hardwarereset once the system was hang.
Step 9. Install the Keylock
Most computerchassis will provides a keylock switch.
Normally connect the marked keylock connectorto the
motherboard keylock.This will cause the keyboard out of
function once you switch the keylock to “Lock”. This will
prevent any un-authorized keyin.
Step 10. Install the Speaker
Connect the speaker to the motherboard’s speaker connector.
(normally the red cableis +5V power) Or follow the Chapter-0

cooler or reference to the CPU Cooler’s operation manual)
Step 11. Install the Power LED
Some computerchassis provides a power LED for identify if
the system is on or off. Connect the power LED to the
motherboard’s TB LED connector. (normally the red cable is

This SCSI motherboard provides the ATX type of power input.
Plug ATX power provides one set 20 pin cable for
motherboard’s power input. Once the ATX was placed on this
system, the JP15 (front panel power on/off switch) is necessory
to be connected.
Step 14. Install the Keyboard
Follow the keyboard cable’s key direction and connect to this
motherboard.
Step 15. Install the Display Card
Finally, follow the display card you have and insert in
horizontaldirection into the PCI/ISA expansion slot.
Step 16. Power on the system
Once the system was power on, on the lower left corner of the
screen will show ”Press DEL to enter SETUP, ESC to skip
memory test”. Then press “DEL” to enter BIOS setup for the
first time power on and choose the “LOAD SETUP
DEFAULTS” then BIOS will responds “Loa d SETUP
defa ult(Y/N)?”, press “Y” and “Enter”. Final choose “SAVE to
CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)?” by pressing “Y” and “Enter”.
Step 17. Enjoy this powerfulDual Pentium Pro SCSI
Motherboard
After these steps of installation, the system should prepared
and can run most software.And you can follow the Operation

Overview
Thank you for purchasing this DP6NS SCSI Motherboard. This operation
manual will guide you to proper configure and install. It has an overview of the
engineer design and feature of this board. Also, this manual provides useful
information for your later upgrade or change the configuration. Keep this for your
future need.
1.1 Featuress
This DP6NS SCSI Motherboard is the newest ATX form factorbased member to
our SCSI Motherboard families. It incorporated with Intel new generation
82440FX Chipset with I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller that
supports for Dual Intel Pentim Pro Processor and Adaptec new PCI Ultra and
Ultra Wide SCSI using AdaptecAIC-7880 which is equivlent to AHA-2940UW .
This DP6NS motherboard supports minimum of 8 Mbyte and mxaimum of 768
Mbyte while Level-2 Cache/ Controller included in PentiumPro Processor. In
order to support fully plug and play I/O, an 160 pin Ultra I/O chip that contain
floppy , two of the high speed serial ports, one ECP / EPP printer port, keyboard
and real time clock is used for users to enjoy the plug and play function. This
SCSI motherboard hasdesigned with ATX form factorto improve the easy access
memory module, long add-on card support and some of the new features that
traditional AT form factor can not achieved.
The onboard RAIDBUS ( Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks ) slot connector
can allow this SCSI motherboardto be hardware assist RAID system by simply
add the RAIDBUS 1130 adapterinto the RAIDBUS slot.
The PentiumPro Processor was used theDynamicExecution that is combination
of improved barnch predition, speculative execution and data flow analysis that
enables the Pentium Pro Processor to deliver its superior performance from CPU
architecture.Run with fast/reliableand use one single jumpercap to adjust the CPU
speed is very important function that this SCSI Motherboard support. It supports
superpipelined dual PentiumPro Processor for high speed clock from 150MHz
to 200MHz.
The PentiumPro Processor is a 64 bit processor with the RISC technology. More
and more32 bit applicationsrequireto optimize their capabilitiesand performances.
The PentiumPro Processor delivers best value for business moving to the 32 bit
