About This Manual
This P55TV/TVS SCSI Motherboard is the newest member to our SCSI
Motherboard solution products families. It incorporated with Intel 4th generation
430VX Chipset and Adaptec
®
newUltra PCI SCSI AIC-7860(AHA-2940AU) that
double the SCSI speed. In order to support fully plug and play Ultra I/O , an Ultra
I/O that contain keybaord and real time clock is used for users to enjoy the plug
and play function.
Run with fasterCPU is very important function that thisSCSI Motherboard support.
It support both P54C up to 200 MHz* and Intel’s next generation P55C processor
that support MMX technology.
Run with faster system memory is another plus on this SCSI Motherboard to
outperform the whole system performance. It equipe 4 of the 72 pin SIMM that
support both fast page and EDO DRAM also with two of the 168 pin DIMM
memory socket that support the new synchonous DRAM.

Warning
This motherboardis carefully designed with Intel
®
spec. to fully support P54C
processor up to 200Mhz and thenew P55C. Since Intel
®
is not shiping the P54C
with 200Mhz and the new P55C CPU at the point that we deliver this
motherboard so we hold the responsibility on if Intel changeany spec. that cause
the new processor not function properly in this motherboard.

CHAPTER1
Overview
Thank you for purchasing this P55TV/TVS 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 Features
This P55TV/TVS SCSI Motherboard is a powerful combination of performance,
quality and innovative design to address the need of today’s market. With current
Intel P54C, Cyrix 6x86, AMD 5k86 and next generation on Intel P55C with
MMX technology supported, 512K external Level 2 Pipelined burst fast Write -
Back Cache, 64 bit Burst Bus DRAM and Adaptec Ultra SCSI (AHA-2940AU ),
fully plug and play Ultra I/O, this SCSI Motherboard brings exceptional
processing power that could only be achieved by Mini -computer. Incorporating
the new emerging industrial standard Peripheral Component interconnect (PCI)
Local Bus together with the standard 16-bit Industrial Standard Architecture
(ISA), this SCSI Motherboard dramatically boots system I/O through for even the
most demanding application in today’s market.
◼CPU:
