The MICRO ATX EX6 mainboard is a high-performance personal computer
mainboard based on the Intel® Pentium® II processor. This mainboard
combines leading edge AGP ATI® 3D RAGE PRO technology in graphics
and YAMAHA® YMF740 technology in audio. The Intel® Pentium® II
processor supports MMXTM(Multimedia Extension) technology.
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel® 82440EX chipset to support
the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge. The
82371EB 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® 82371EB chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 33MB/s.
The mainboard also supports the System Hardware Monitor Controller as an
optional function. This function includes: CPU /power supply/chassis fan
revolution detect, CPU/system voltage monitor, and system temperature
monitor.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard operates with Intel® Pentium® II processor. The mainboard
uses a CPU Slot called Slot 1 for easy CPU installation and a jumper switch
(JP1) to set the proper speed for the CPU. The CPU should always have a
Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.
