Chapter 1 Introduction of BP6 Features

1-1.Features of this Motherboard

This motherboard is a specialdesign forSocket 370 CPUs. It is equipped withtwo PGA 370

sockets with which you can install two Socket 370 processors.

The BP6 has the HPT366 Ultra ATA/66 Chipset built-in. This means, the BP6 will support

Ultra ATA/66 IDE devices. Ultra ATA/66 is the new standard for IDE devices. It enhances

existing Ultra ATA/33 technology by increasing both performance and data integrity. This

new high-speed interface doubles the Ultra ATA/33 burst data transfer rate to 66.6

Mbytes/sec. The result is the maximum disc performance using the current PCI local bus

environment. Another benefit is, you can connect another four IDE devices in your system

either Ultra ATA/33 IDE devices or Ultra ATA/66 IDE devices. You will have more

flexibility to expand your computer system.

The BP6 has built-in hardware monitoring functions (you can refer to Appendix C for

detailed information), they can monitor and protect your computer insuring a safe

computing environment. The BP6 also supports both the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse

wake up features (you can refer to section 3-8 for detailed information), letting you easily

wake up your system by these devices. The motherboard can provide high performance for

workstations and meets the requirements for desktop systems for multimedia in the future.

Sets You Free From the Y2K Threat

The potential threat of Year 2000 (Y2K) problems are making everyone very nervous. The

Y2K issue applies to almost any device, firmware, or software that operates on or with year

based dates. This problem is caused by a design flaw in the Real Time Clock (RTC) unit.

The RTC only changes the last two digits of the year code, but not the century information.

As a result, when it comes to 12:00 AM January 1, 2000 the RTC will switch from

December 31 11:59 PM 1999 to 12:00 AM January 1 1900.

Y2K compliance deals with the date change over from 31 December 1999 to 1 January 2000,

and with recording and reporting of all dates from the RTC including leap year dates. This

motherboard is free from the Y2K problem because its BIOS are Y2K compliant.

1-2 Chapter1

BP6

Please Note

If the operating system or application software cannot handle Year 2000 dates, you will

still be facing the Y2K threat because it is not a hardware problem that relates to the

motherboard itself. According to Award BIOS, it’s BIOS source code released after 31

May 1995 complies with all known Y2K issues; however, it may still fail the 2000.exe

test. Award has modified its BIOS source code to accommodate the requirements of

2000.exe. Award BIOS source code issued later than 18 November 1996 passes the

NTSL 2000.exe test program.

"Supports Wake Up on LAN, Keyboard or Mouse, but your ATX power supply 5V

standby (5VSB) power must be able to provide at least a 720mA current capacity.

Otherwise, the functions may not work normally.

"PCI slots 4 and 5 use the same bus master control signal.

"PCI slot 3 shares IRQ signals with the HPT366 IDE controller (Ultra ATA/66). The

driver for the HPT 366 IDE controller supports IRQ sharing with other PCI

devices. But if you install a PCI card that doesn’t allow IRQ sharing with other

devices into PCI slot 3, you may encounter some problems. Furthermore, if your

Operating System doesn’t allow peripheral devices to share IRQ signals with each

other--Windows NT for example, you can’t install a PCI card into PCI slot 3.

"HPT 366 IDE controller is designed to support high-speed mass storage. Thus we

don’t suggest you connect non-disk devices that use ATA/ATAPI interfaces, such as

CD-ROM to HPT 366 IDE connector (IDE3&IDE4).

Important Notice

Based on peripheral specifications and other considerations, the BP6 SMP (Symmetric

Multiple Processor) function is designed for testing only. The BP6 motherboard can’t

manage the SMP function alone. It must co-operate with the CPU and OS that support

the SMP function. Therefore, any damage caused by employing an improper or OS will

void the warranty.
