3.4 BIOS
The BIOS on the TI6NL motherboard provides the standard BIOS
functions plus the following additional features:
1. ISA Plug and Play (PnP) Extension
Unlike PCI cards that are Plug and Play, ISA cards require setting
jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts. To make a computer system
PnP, an ISA PnP standard is established and supported by new
operating systems, such as Windows 95. Under Windows 95, the
motherboard BIOS must have an ISA PnP extension to support new
ISA PnP cards.
2. Power Management
The power management feature provides power savings by slowing
down the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the
HDD spindle motor. The BIOS fully conforms to ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface) specification.
3.5 Onboard AGP Slot
The AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot supports AGP compliant
VGA cards to achieve rich 3D and video graphics display. AGP is a
platform bus specification that enables 3D graphics capabilities including
support for z-buffering, alpha blending and faster texture mapping.
3.6 Optional Winbond W83781D Hardware Monitoring IC
The W83781D is a hardware status monitoring IC that is used to monitor
several hardware parameters including power supply voltages, fan
speeds, and temperatures, which are very important for a high-end
computer systemto work stable and properly. The 48-pin LQFP-package
IC is fully software compatible with Intel LDCM.
Chapter 3 Hardware Description
10 TI6NL User’s Manual
3.7 Onboard Multi-I/O
The onboard multi-I/O chip, W83977TF, supports a keyboard controller
(AMIcopyright), two serial ports, one parallel port, one floppy controller
and one IrDA port. The serial ports are 16550 UART compatible. The
parallel port features high-speed EPP/ECP mode. The floppy controller
supports up to 2.88 MB format.
3.8 Interrupt Request (IRQ) Lines
There is a total of 15 IRQ lines available on the motherboard. Peripheral
devices use an interrupt request to notify the CPU for the service
required. The following table shows the IRQ lines used bythe devices on
the motherboard:
Level Function
IRQ0 System Timer Output
IRQ1 Keyboard
IRQ2 Interrupt Cascade
IRQ8 Real Time Clock
IRQ9 Software Redirected to Int 0Ah
IRQ10 Reserved
IRQ11 Reserved
IRQ12 Reserved
IRQ13 Co-Processor
IRQ14 Primary IDE
IRQ15 Secondary IDE
IRQ3 INTERRUPT
IRQ4 Serial Port #1
IRQ5 INTERRUPT
IRQ6 Floppy Disk Controller
IRQ7 Parallel Port #1
Chapter 3 Hardware Description
TI6NL User’s Manual 11
3.9 Onboard PCI-IDE
The PCI-IDE controller is a part of the 82440LX PCIset. It supports PIO
mode 3/4 and bus mastering Ultra DMA/33. The peak transfer rate of
PIO mode 3/4 can be as high as 17MB/sec. Using HDDs that support
Ultra DMA/33, the peak transfer rate can reach 33MB/sec. There are two
IDE connectors - primary IDE and secondary IDE. With two devices per
connector, up to four IDE devices can be supported.
3.10 DMA Channels
There are seven DMA channels available on the motherboard. Only
DMA2 is used by the floppycontroller. In the case that ECP mode on the
parallel port is utilized, DMA1 or DMA3 will be used.
3.11 I/O Port Address Map
Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port
addresses which also becomes the identity of the device. There is a total
of 1K port address space available. The following table lists the I/O port
addresses used on the motherboard.
Address Device Description
000h - 01Fh DMA Controller #1
020h - 03Fh Interrupt Controller #1
