4.7.3 Connector X4 Signal Description

IDE Ports

The IDE host adapter is capable of DMA-100 operation and supports only one single IDE channel which is connected to
the primary channel of the ETX® connector X4. Per default it is set to DMA-33, to achieve the best compatibility to
most baseboard implementations. Implementation information is provided in the ETX® Design Guide. Refer to those
documents for additional information.

Configuration:

The IDE host adapter is a PCI bus device. It is configured by the BIOS during PCI device configuration. You can disable
it in setup. Resources used by the primary IDE host adapter are compatible with the PC/AT.

Ethernet

The Ethernet interface is based on the Intel® 82562 Fast Ethernet PCI controller. This 32-bit PCI controller is a fully
integrated 10/100BASE-TX LAN solution.

The Ethernet interface requires an external transformer. See the ETX® Design Guide for suggestions on transformer
selection.

Configuration:

The Ethernet interface is a PCI device. The BIOS setup automatically configures it during configuration of the PCI
device.

Note:

Implementation and limitation information is provided in the ETX® Design Guide from document revision
2.1. Refer to the documentation for additional information.

Power Control

Power Good / Reset Input:

The ETX®-DC provides an external input for a power-good signal or a manual- reset pushbutton. The implementation
of this subsystem complies with the ETX® Specification. Implementation information is provided in the ETX® Design
Guide. Refer to the documentation for additional information.

Power Management

ATX PS Control:

The ETX®-DC can control the main power output of an ATX-style power supply. The implementation of this subsystem
complies with the ETX® Specification. Implementation information is provided in the ETX® Design Guide. Refer to the
documentation for additional information.
