devices. The HOT-673 supports 3.3 V A.G.P. devices with data transfer rates up to 133
MHz, allowing data throughput of 500 MB/sec.
The Intel's 82443LX AGPset chipset provides an integrated Bus Mastering IDE control-
ler with two high performance IDE interfaces which allows up to four IDE devices
connection and up to 33 MB/sec of data transfer rates.
The on-board I/O controller provides standard PC I/O functions:
floppy drive interface, two FIFO serial ports, an IrDA device port and a SPP/EPP/ECP
capable parallel port.
HOT-673 is built with two PCI local bus slots providing a high bandwidth data path for
data-movement intensive functions such as graphics, and with two ISA slots.
HOT-673 provides the foundation for cost effective, high performance and highly
expandable platforms, which delivers the latest in the Intel PentiumTM II processor and
new advanced chipset technology.

The Pentium™ II Processor
Figure 2-1
Figure 2-2 Figure 2-3
The Pentium™ II and Celeron™ processor is the next member of the P6 processor family.
It combines the architectural advances in the Pentium Pro processor with the instruction set
extensions of MMX technology. It is fully compatible with the huge base of Intel architec-
ture-based PC software. Additional, the Pentium™ II processor delivers new levels of
performance for advance media and communications software including powerful, realistic
graphics and imaging capabilities, video conference, and the ability to run full-screen, full-
motion video. The combination of these advanced technologies makes the Pentium™ II
processor the ideal choice foe executing modem 32-bit compute-intensive and multimedia-
enhanced application work loads using advanced 32-bit operating systems.
The Pentium™ II and Celeron processor both have a separate, 32KB, on-chip, non-blocking
L1 cache which run at the processor frequency, Pentium™ II processor also has a 512KB or
256KB on-board L2 non-blocking cache runs at half the processor speed.
The Pentium™ II processor using Single Edge Contact Cartridge (S.E.C.C.) and S.E.C.C.2
packaging technology which enables high volume availability, improved handling protec-
tion.

What does the URM (Universal Retention Mechanism) consist of
Pentium II processor requires the Retention Mechanism (RM) and optional Heat Sink
Support (HSS) to hold the base processor in the S.E.C. cartridge.(or SECC 2)
Following installation procedure will display how to install these mechanism.
Retention Mechanism package consists of 2 separate parts and optional Heat Sink Support
consists of 3 separate parts.
Normally, depend on the type of heat sink, Heat Sink Support is not always available. For
some heat sink attached on pentium II processor might not fit to install the Heat Sink
Support. The introduction of Heat Sink Support installation on this manual only for your
reference.
Universal Retention Mechanism (URM) -
Plastic Guide with captive nuts that hold the
S.E.C. Cartridge in the Slot1 connector.
(Refer to Figure 2-4)
URM Attach Mount (URMAM) -
Bolt/Bridge assemblies inserted up through
the bottom of the mainboard. Then secures the
URM to URMAM (two URMAM required per URM).
(Refer to Figure 2-5)
Figure 2-4
Figure 2-5
Install the Universal Retention Mechanism
Place the mainboard on a workbench (not in a chassis). Be sure that the mainboard is bare
(that is, no DIMMs, cables, or cards are installed).
Install the Retention Mechanism :
1. Finds out the Universal Retention
Mechanism (URM) Mounting Holes
of Slot1 on HOT-673 main board.
(Refer to Figure 2-6)
2. Install two Universal Retention
Mechanism Attach Mounts (URMAM)
with Bolt/Bridge assemblies inserted
up through the bottom of the
mainboard. (Notice the URMAM's
bridge orientation as Figure 2-7)

Celeron™ Processor S.E.P.P. Only Retention Mechanism Assembly
Procedures
These procedures have been included to help assemble the S.E.P.P. (Single
Edge Processor Package) only Retention Mechanism.
Please follow them exactly:
Required Components
SEPP (Figure 2-12)
Heatsink (Figure 2-13)
Heatsink Retention Clip (Figure 2-14)
Primary Side
Figure 2-13
Figure 2-14
Procedures
Assemble all parts on a static free bench using
proper operator grounding and an ESD mat.
Carefully insert all four heatsink clip legs into
SEPP. (Figure 2-15)
Clip base must be located on the non-primary
side.(Figure 2-16) FYI - The side of the clip plate
which touches the substrate is covered with a
mylar insulator. This insulator prevents the clip
from shorting lines on the substrate.
Before you fully engage two legs of the clip into
the heatsink (Figure 2-17), make sure you remove
the blue film covering the thermal interface. The
blue film protects the thermal interface from
damage during shipping.
Grasp the heatsink clip assembly between the clip
base and the heatsink. Do not bend or apply
pressure directly to SEPP.
Using a nonmetallic stock or screw driver, push
the remaining two clip legs into the heatsink.
Caution: Take care not to contact passively or
scratch SEPP when using screw driver or bar
stock.
Verify that all the feet on the clip are fully en-
gaged and seated on the heatsink. (Figure 2-18)

CPU Clock Speed Selection - JP1 and JP10
HOT-673 featuring CPU Plug & Play function, the user needn't to adjust onboard system clock
and CPU multiplier. When the system power-on first time, BIOS will set CPU clock
speed to 233 MHz automatically. If your CPU speed higher than 233 MHz., you only have
to entry BIOS to set CPU speed to the higher one.
HOT-673 mainboard features a clock generator to provide adjustable system clock frequency.
JP1 is a 6-pin jumpers which determine the system clock frequency 50 MHz to 83 MHz.
CPU Plug & Play function is supported by 66MHz.
HOT-673 mainboard provides Jumper group of JP10 to figure the CPU core clock multiplier.
By inserting mini jumpers on MANUAL group, the user can figure the Host Bus Clock/CPU
Core Clock ratio (multiplier) manually.
CPU Plug & Play function is supported when an Jumper Pack inserted on
AUTOgroup.
Listed diagrams on right side show the sample position on jumper group of JP10:
1) Setting CPU Clock from BIOS
- jumper pack on AUTO.
(Factory default)
2) Adjust multiplier manually from hardware
- jumper pack on MANUAL, multiplier set to 5X manually.
Figure 2-23 shows the position of JP1 and JP10 on the mainboard.
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper pins on
the main board. The jumper's pin 1 on main board will be on the top or on the left when hold-
ing the main board with the keyboard connector away from yourself.
Jumpers with two pins will be shown as for Close (On) and for Open (Off).
To connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins.
