developers of applications, operating systems, or tools. It will contain Specification Changes, Errata,
Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes.
Refer to the Pentium

Processor Specification Update (Order Number 242480) for specification updates
concerning the Pentium processor. Items contained in the Pentium Processor Specification Update that
either do not apply to the AN430TX motherboard or have been worked around are noted in this document.
Otherwise, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Printed
Board Assembly (PBA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Refer to the 82430TX PCIset Specification Update (Order Number 297736) for specification updates
concerning the 82430TX PCIset. Items contained in the 82430TX PCIset Specification Update that either do
not apply to the AN430TX motherboard or have been worked around are noted in this document. Otherwise,
it should be assumed that any PCIset errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Printed Board
Assembly (PBA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Refer to the 82371AB PIIX4 Specification Update (Order Number 297738) for specification updates
concerning the 82371AB PIIX4. Items contained in the 82371AB PIIX4 Specification Update that either do

it should be assumed that any PCIset errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Printed Board
Assembly (PBA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Nomenclature
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These changes will be
incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the AN430TX motherboard’s behavior
to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any given Printed
Board Assembly (PBA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all errata documented for that PBA and
BIOS revision are present on all motherboards.
Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a specification’s
impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in the next release of the
specifications.
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications.
These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
