Introduction

The P55-TH motherboard is a high performance system hardware

based on Intel Pentium processor and is equipped with four PCI slots, four

standard ISA slots, Super Multi-I/O controller and dual ports PCI-IDE

connectors for the future expansion. The hardware dimension is 220mm x

280mm with four layer design technology.

Supports Onboard Pipelined burst synchronous and the COAST(v2.0) or

later Version solusion L2 Write Back Cache. The cache memory

combination could be 256KB/512KB (32KB*32 or 64KB*32 SRAM

respectively).

Support four 16 bits ISA slots, four 32 bits PCI slots, and provides two

independent high performance PCI IDE interface capable of supporting

PIO Mode 3 and Mode 4 devices. The P55-TH supports four PCI Bus

Masters and a jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which reduces

configuration confusion when plug in PCI I/O controller card(s).

2-1 Motherboard Layout

The P55-TH is designed with Intel 82430HX PCIset chipset which is developed

by INTEL Corporation to fully support Intel Pentium processor PCI/ISA system.

The Intel 82430HX PCIset chipset prpovides increased integration and improved

performance designs. The 82430HX chipset provides an integrated IDE controller

with two high performance IDE interfaces for up to four IDE devices (hard devices,

CD-ROM device, etc). The SMC (STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORA-

TION) FDC37C669 Super I/O controller provides the standard PC I/O function:

floppy interface (up to 2.88 MB), two 16 Byte FIFO serial ports and EPP/ECP

capable parallel port. The P55-TH layout is shown in previous page (left page) for

user's reference. Care must be taken when inserting memory modules, inserting

Intel P54C/P54CT/P54CSTprocessor, or even plugging PCI card into associated

slots to avoid damaging any circuits or sockets on board. A cooling fan is strongly

recommended when installing P54C/P54CT/P54CST processor due to possible

overheat.

The P55-TH supports minimum of 8MB of System Memory and maximum of

512MB while L2 Cache can be 256KB/512KB synchronous SRAM Onboard with

the COASt 2.0 or later Version"Cache-On-A-STick" solution to increase system

performance.( refer to Page 2-5 Cache Memory Configuration for the details.)

The P55-TH support standard Fast Page or EDO (Extended Data Out or Hyper

Page Mode) DRAM. The EDO DRAM is designed to improve the DRAM read

performance (When L2 Cache is installed). The P55-TH provides four 72-pins

SIMM sites for memory expansion. The socket support 1M x 32(4MB), 2M x

32(8MB), 4M x 32(16MB), 8M x 32(32MB) and 16MB x 32(64MB) single-sided

or double-sided SIMM modules. The memory timing requires 70 nS Fast page

devices or 60 nS EDO DRAM. Memory parity generation and checking or ECC

(Error Checking and Correction) are supported. (DRAM Modules may be parity[x

72] or non-parity[x 64] or ECC[x72]. The BIOS will automaticlly detct which

DRAM has installed in SIMM sites.

The P55-TH supports Onboard two PCI IDE connectors, and detects IDE

harddisk type by BIOS utility automatic.

The P55-TH supports Award Plug & Play BIOS for the ISA and PCI cards. The

BIOS can be located in Flash EPROM. The advantage of having Flash EPROM is

much easier to replace BIOS code if necessary.

2-4 Cache Memory Configuration

The second level (L2) of cache is installed in the motherboard to increase the

system performance. The P55-TH supports different type of combinations for the

cache installation. The COASt 2.0 or later Version(Cache-On-A-STick. The

cache modules has a TAG SRAM.) solution provides Onboard flexibility,

allowing Onboard and modules to accommodate 256KB/512KB piplined burst

synchronous SRAM. Jumper JP10 and JP11 settings is used to Onboard's

synchronous SRAM for differential such combinations. Please refer to following

configurations for the details.
