Introduction
This mainboard has a Socket-370processor socket for an Intel
FCPGA Celeron or FCPGA Pentium III processor. You can
install any one of these processors on the mainboard. The
mainboard supports front-side bus speeds of 66MHz, 100MHz or
133MHz.
This mainboard uses the SiS 635/T chipset which supports a 4X
AGP slot for highly graphics display, DDR interface and Ultra
DMA 33/66/100 function, provides outstanding high system
performance under all types of system operations. The mainboard
has a built-in AC97 Codec, provides an AMR (Audio Modem
Riser) slot to support Audio and Modem application. In addition,
the mainboard has an extended set of ATX I/O Ports including
PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, two USB ports, a parallel port,

Static Electricity Precautions
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.
1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
2. During installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If
you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During
installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection
packaging it came in with the component side facing up.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and
connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.
