Preface
About This Manual
This manual is written for system houses, experienced PC techni-
cians and knowledgeable PC end users. It provides information for
the installation and use of the SUPER P6DGH motherboard. The
SUPER P6DGH supports Pentium II 233-450 MHz Slot 1 proces-
sors.
The Pentium II processor with Dual Independent Bus Architecture is
housed in a new packaging technology called the Single Edge Con-
tact Cartridge (S.E.C.C.). This new cartridge package and its asso-
ciated "Slot 1" infrastructure will provide the headroom for future
high-performance processors.
Manual Organization
Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the features, specifications and
performance of the SUPER P6DGH system board, provides detailed
information about the chipset, and offers warranty information.
Refer to Chapter 2, Installation, for instructions on how to install the
Pentium II processor, the retention mechanism and the heat sink
support. This chapter also provides you with instructions for han-
dling static-sensitive devices. Read this chapter when you want to
install or remove SIMM/DIMM memory modules and to mount the
system board in the chassis. Also refer to this chapter to connect
the floppy and hard disk drives, IDE interfaces, and the parallel and
serial ports as well as the cables for the power supply, the reset
cable, the Keylock/Power LED, the speaker and the keyboard.
Preface

If you encounter any problems, please see Chapter 3, Trouble-
shooting, which describes troubleshooting procedures for the video,
the memory and the setup configuration stored in memory. Instruc-
tions are also included for contacting a technical assistance sup-
port representative, returning merchandise for service and visiting
our website for BIOS upgrades.
