Preface
About This Manual
This manual is written for system houses, PC technicians and
knowledgeable PC end users. It provides information for the instal-
lation and use of SUPER P6DLH/P6DLF motherboard. SUPER
P6DLH/P6DLF supports Pentium II 233/266/300/333 MHz.
The Pentium II processor with the Dual Independent Bus Architec-
ture is housed in a new package technology called the Single Edge
Contact (S.E.C.) cartridge. This new cartridge package and its as-
sociated "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 P6DLH/P6DLF system board, provides
detailed information about the chipset, and offers warranty informa-
tion.
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 provides you with the 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, parallel port, serial
ports, as well as the cables for the power supply, reset cable,
Keylock/Power LED, speaker and keyboard.

If you encounter any problem, please see Chapter 3, Troubleshoot-
ing, which describes troubleshooting procedures for video, memo-
ry, and the setup configuration stored in memory. Instructions are
also included on contacting a technical assistance support repre-
sentative and returning merchandise for service and the BBS# for
BIOS upgrades.
