The ATX TX3 mainbard is a high-performance personal computer
mainboard. This mainboard supports Intel®Pentium® processor and
Pentium®processorwithMMXTM technology,Cyrix®6x86/6x86L/6x86MX
processor, and AMD®K5/K6 processor. The mainboard also supports four
32-bit PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Local Bus standard slots.
A cache subsystem is configured for 512K cache memory to improve overall
throughput.
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel® 83430TX chipset to support
the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/PCI bridge. The
Intel® 82430TX chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more
Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
function. The Intel® 82430TX chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfer data at the rate of 33MB/s.
The mainboard has an on-board Audio which uses Creative® Vibra 16X
chipset. The Creative® Vibra 16X chipset provides Windows applications like
Creative® Wavesynth and Sound Blaster 16 Utility that allows you to play
high quality music for Windows multimedia applications and computer
games.
The mainboard also supports the LM78 System Hardware Monitor
Controller as optional function. The LM78 function includes: CPU chassis/
power fan control, CPU temperature detect and protect, and chassis
intrusion detect.

Hardware Installation
2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU
The ATX TX3 mainboard operates with Intel®Pentium® processor-
Pentium® processorwith MMXTM technology,Cyrix® 6x86/6x86L/6x86MX
and AMD® K5/K6 processors. It could operates with 2.0V to 3.52V proces-
sors. The mainboard provides a 321-pin ZIF Socket 7 for easy CPU
installation, a DIP switch (SW1) to set the proper speed for the CPU. The
CPU should always have a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.

1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
3. Press the lever down to
complete the installation.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket
and look for the white dot or
cut edge in the CPU. Match
Pin 1 with the white dot/cut
edge. Then, insert the CPU.
It should insert easily.

Note: If you’re going to use the special CPU
clock, then you must short JRMS3

CHAPTER2 HARDWAREINSTALLATION
2. The DIP Switch SW1 (1, 2, and 3) is used to set the Core/Bus (Fraction)
ratio of the CPU. The actual core speed of the CPU is the Host Clock
Frequency multiplied by the Core/Bus ratio. For example:
If CPUClock = 66MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 3/2
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Busratio
= 66MHzx3/2
= 100MHz
3. The PCI Bus Clock is the CPU Clock Frequency divided by 2.

2.1-3 CPU Voltage
The mainboard voltage regulators can automatically detect and switch
between Single and Dual voltage. It can detect single voltage ranging from
3.38 volts to 3.52 volts. And dual voltage ranging from 2.0 volts to 3.2 volts.
