•

KP6-FX 2 is based on the Pentium

®

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 ATAPI (e.g. CD-ROM) devices on both Primary and Secondary IDE
interfaces.

•

Designed with SMC 37C932FR Multi I/O: (1) floppy port, (1) parallel port
(EPP, ECP), and (2) serial ports (16550 Fast UART).
Note: Japanese “Floppy 3 mode” is also supported

•

longer battery life.

•

Supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. The onboard PIIX chip
provides the means for connecting PC peripherals such as monitors, keyboards,
joysticks, telephones, and modems.

•

Supports ATX 20 pin power supply connector.

•

Supports Remote On/Off when used with ATX power supplies.

•

Four Layer design technology and full ATX form factor.
(12” x 9.6”, 305mm X 244mm)

•

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)
