1-1 Overview
The SUPER 370SBA/370SBM/370SLA/370SLM motherboards support single
Intel® Celeron™ 333/366 MHz or higher Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA) proces-
sors at a 66 MHz front side bus speed. (The 100 MHz FSB speed is only
available when using 100 MHz FSB Celeron processors. ) The SUPER 370SBA
and 370SBM motherboards are based on Intel’s 440BX chip set, and the SUPER
370SLA and 370SLM motherboards are based on Intel’s 440LX chip set. Both
440BX and 440LX chip sets enable an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP), Wake-
on-LAN™, synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), concurrent PCI and dual IDE channels
that support Ultra DMA 33 MB/s burst data transfer rate.
The SUPER 370SBA and 370SLA are ATX form factor motherboards and have 4
PCI and 3 ISA slots. The SUPER 370SBM and 370SLM are microATX form factor
motherboards and have 3 PCI and 1 ISA slots. All four motherboards have an
AGP port, and can accommodate a total of 384 MB PC100 unbuffered SDRAM
memory with three 168-pin dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The
SUPER 370SBA and 370SBM motherboards can support the 100 MHz front side
bus speed for future Celeron PPGA upgrades, and its 440BX chip set allows you
to install up to 768 MB of PC100 registered SDRAM. The SUPER 370SLA and
370SLM motherboards support the 66 MHz system bus speed only,
and can accept either PC66 EDO or PC100 SDRAM DIMMs.
AGP reduces contention between the CPU and I/O devices by broadening the
graphics bandwidth to memory. It delivers a maximum of 532 MB/s in the 2x
transfer mode, which is quadruple the PCI speed!
Wake-On-LAN (WOL) allows for remote network management and configuration
of the PC, even in off-hours when the PC is turned off. This reduces the com-
plexity of managing the network.
Other features that maximize customer satisfaction and simplicity in managing
the computer are its support for the PC 98 and the Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI) standards. With PC Health Monitoring, you can protect
your system from problems before they even occur.
All motherboards include the following I/O: 2 IDE ports, a floppy port, an ECP/
EPP supported parallel port, PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard ports, 2 serial
ports, an infrared port and 2 USB ports.
