PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS AND FEATURES

The main features of the system board are:

• supports Pentium processors of several different clock speeds (90, 100, 120 or 133 MHz,

and 150 and 166 MHz when available) with accompanying voltage regulator module

(VRM)

• a PCI bus video controller: most models of the Vectra VL 5/xx series 4 have an integrated

64-bit Ultra VGA controller on the PCI bus (S3 Trio 765 64V+ on D3xxxA models and S3

Trio 764 on D3xxxB models)

• an Enhanced IDE controller with two channels on the PCI bus

• a primary IDE channel for two IDE hard disk drives

• a secondary IDE channel for an IDE CD-ROM drive and, in the mini-tower models, a

fourth IDE device (such as a third IDE hard disk drive)

• a combined controller on the ISA bus for

• 2 flexible disk drives and/or tape drives

• 2 serial ports

• 1 parallel port

• sockets for DRAM main memory: the Vectra VL 5/xx series 4 PCs provide six sockets for

main memory, allowing installation of up to 128 MB

• a system ROM (using flash ROM technology) that can be easily updated with the latest

firmware, using the

Phlash.exe

program supplied with the firmware upgrade. The system

ROM contains:

• the BIOS (system BIOS, video BIOS and low option ROM)

• a power-on hardware test that allows you to view the results of the diagnostics as well

as a corrective action message (error message utility)

• menu-driven SETUP with context-sensitive help (in US English only)

• a keyboard/mouse controller and interface.
