®

II Processor operating at 233 ~ 300 MHz on

slot 1. The board is configured by an Easy-Setting-Single-Jumper (ESSJ) to
match your CPU clock speed.

Designed with Intel’s 82440 FX PCIset

Supports upto 1 GigaByte of DRAM (minimum of 8 MB) on board, You can use
either 72-Pin SIMM x 4 or 168-Pin DIMM x 2 or both. It will automatically
detect Fast Page Mode (FPM) DRAM or Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM
(please see page 2-7).

KP6-FX 2 will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using parity
DRAM modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and correct 1-bit memory
errors.

Supports (3) 16 bit ISA slots, (5) 32 bit PCI slots, and provides (2) independent
high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO Mode 3 and
Mode 4 devices. The KP6-FX 2 supports (4) PCI Bus Master slots and a
jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces configuration confusion
when plugging in PCI card(s).

Supports ring-in feature (remote power-on through external modem), allows
system to be turned on remotely.

Supports Desktop Management Interface (DMI) facilitating the management of
desktop computers, hardware and software components and peripherals, whether
they are standalone systems or linked into networks. (option)
