ISA boards installed. 16-Bit 8-Bit Motherboard
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus • 33 MHz • Handles 32-bit and 64-bit data transfers • Processor independent • Supports Plug and Play
Cache Memory
The Chip Set • The support chips that make the microprocessor a microcomputer. • Applications Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that provide the signals, controllers, interfaces and buffers that the system needs to operate.
Main functions of the Chipset • A System Controller handles timing, interrupt and DMA control, and power management. • A Memory Controller provides interconnection and control of memory systems. • A Peripheral Controller connects the MPU to internal and external devices such as disk drives, buses, and peripherals.
Super I/O Controller
Super I\O Controller • Interface to the floppy drive. • Interface to serial ports. • Interface to parallel ports.
Keyboard Controller
Keyboard Controller • Communicates with the microprocessor in the keyboard. • Performs a parity check. • Converts serial data from the keyboard into the parallel data needed by the computer. • Generates an interrupt to alert the system that a key has been depressed.
ROM BIOS
Identifying the ROM BIOS. Socket Version # R3.60
Real Time Clock
The Real Time Clock (RTC) contains: • Clock • CMOS memory • And in some cases the battery.
The FRUs on the Motherboard include: • The MPU • Any board plugged into the PCI bus. • Any board plugged into the ISA bus. • The SIMMs • The ROM BIOS
