About this manual
This P55TU SCSI Motherboard is the newest memberto our SCSI Motherboard
solution products families. It incorporated with Intel4th generation 430HX
Chipset with BGA technology and with Adaptecnew Ultra / Ultra Wide SCSI
embedded which is equilevent to AHA 2940UW. AdaptecRAID port option
ready is a big advantage in this P55TU SCSI motherboard.It can turn this SCSI
motherboard to support hardware SCSI RAID by addingthe RAIDBUS 1000 or
the ARO 1130 adapterfrom Adaptec.
Run with fasterCPU is very important function that thisSCSI Motherboard support.
It support bothP54C up to 200 MHz* and Intel’s next generation P55C processor
with MMX technology.
Feature with Error Check Correction ( ECC ) system memory is another plus on
this SCSI Motherboard to outperform the whole system stability. It equipe 4 of the
72 pin SIMM that supportsEDO DRAM with ECC.

Warning
This motherboard is carefully designed with Intelspec. to fully supportP54C
processor up to 200Mhzand thenew P55C. Since Intel is notshiping theP54C
with 200Mhz and the new P55C CPU at the point that we deliver this
motherboard so we hold theresponsibility on if Intelchange any spec. that cause
the new processor not function properly in this motherboard.

CHAPTER1
Overview
Thank you for purchasing this P55TU SCSI Motherboard. This operation
manualwill guide you to proper configure and install. It has an overview of the
engineer design and feature of this board.Also, this manualprovidesuseful
information foryour later upgrade or change the configuration.Keep this, for
your futureneed.
1.1 Features
This P55TU SCSI Motherboard is a powerfulcombination of performance,
qua lity and innovative design to address the need of today’s ma rket. With current
Intel P54C, Cyrix 6x86,AMD 5k86 and next generation on Intel P55C with
MMX technology supported, 512K externalLevel 2 Pipelined Burst fast Write-
Back Cache,64 bit Burst Bus DRAM and AdaptecWide/Ultra Wide SCSI
