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.

3.3.1 CPU Socket
This CPU socket provides flexibility for Intel Pentium , Pentium
OverDrive, Pentium futureprocessors, AMD K5(5k86) and Cyrix
M1(6x86)processor. When installing the CPU into the Zero Insertion
Force ( ZIF ) socket should be very carefully. Lift the handleof this 321
Pin ZIF socket up carefully and insert theCPU into ZIF socket. And make
sure the CPU Pin 1 is with the squarebase and it goes to particularhole on
the ZIF socket. Once you match the hole with Pin 1 then gently insert the
CPU and press socket handle down.

The P55TV/TVS supports different type of system memory.No jumperneeded for
this function or configure. This mainboard separates four pieces of 72 pins
SIMM(Single In Line Memory Module) into two banks, and also two pieces 168
pins DIMM(Dual In Line Memory Module) into two banks, they use the same
address. This means the Bank 0 and Bank 1 only can recognize either two pieces
of 72 pins SIMM or one pieces of 168 pins DIMM on each bank.
NOTE:
1
. P55TV/TVS support both Fast Page DRAM or EDO
DRAM SIMM/DIMMs also the ECC are supported,but they
cannot be mixed within the same memory bank.
2
. They arethe samein Bank 0 or Bank 1. Socket 1,2 and
socket 5 are using the same memory block (Bank 0). They
can not install in the same time. Socket 3,4 and socket 6 are
using the same memory block (Bank 1).
3
. The 70 ns Fast Page Modeor 60 ns EDO DRAM is
recommended.
4
. DIMM specification: 3.3V/ Unbuffered
5. This motherboard supports4 Clock for each DIMM Socket

Make sure the DIMM module is 3.3V/ Unbuffered and support the Intel Pentium
processor while you insert into the DIMM socket.
Note: End user should not populate both 5V SIMM modules & 3.3V DIMM
modules at the same time.
3.6 SCSI Interface
3.6.1 J2 Ultra SCSI Connector
J2 is a 50 pins 16 bit internal Ultra SCSI connector. ItattachestheSCSI
cable(s) from theP55TV/TVS SCSI controller to the SCSI peripherals.
The externalSCSI port expansion kit is a optionalfor your connecting

3.6.3 Set SCSI IDs
You must assign a different SCSI ID to each device on the SCSI bus
connected to the P55TV/TVS system board.See yourSCSI device
documentation fordirections on how to determine the ID and changeit.
◼ Ultra/ Fast SCSI devices that connect to this mainboard'sSCSI
connectorcan be assigned ID from 0 to 7. Normally, the host will use ID7.
Or reference to Chapter5 for moreinformation.
◼ The SCSI ID0 is best use for SCSI harddisk to beused as your
computer'sbootdevice, ID1 is best reserved for a secondary SCSI hard
disk.(This is only when you use the SCSI hard disks and devices.)
