3 System Board (P/Ns D3657-63001 and D3661-63001)
Principal Components and Features
Processor Socket
The microprocessor is packaged in a pin-grid-array (PGA), which is seated on
the system board in a Zero-Insertion-Force (ZIF) socket.
VRM Socket
P54CS (133 150 and 200 MHz) Pentium processors require a 3.3V supply. Since
the PC has a regulated 3.3 V output, a shorting block is used to connect the
output directly to the processor.
The P54C 166 MHz Pentium processor requires slightly more than 3.3 V and
therefore needs an active VRE voltage regulator module (VRM), in which the
voltage is derived from both the 3.3 V and 5 V outlets of the power supply.
Main Memory Sockets
There are six main memory module sockets, arranged in three banks (A to C),
allowing installation of up to 128 MB DRAM.
