Overview
Pentium II or Deschutes Processor
The Pentium
®
II or Deschutes Processor (The Deschutes Processor as 300/
100MHz, 350/100MHz, 400/100MHz and 450/100MHz speed with 512K-L2 cache
Versions.) is the follow-on to the Pentium
®
Processor. The Pentium
®
II or
Deschutes Processor, like the Pentium
®
Pro processor, implements a Dynamic
Execution micro-architecture -- a unique combination of multiple branch prediction,
data flow analysis, and speculative execution. This enables the Pentium
®
II Proces-
sor to deliver higher performance than the Pentium
®
processor, while maintaining
binary compatibility with all previous Intel architecture processors.
A significant feature of the Pentium
®
II or Deschutes Processor, from a system
perspective, is the built-in direct multiprocessing support. In order to achieve
multiprocessing, and maintain the memory and I/O bandwidth to support it, new
system designs are needed. For systems with dual processors, it is important to
consider the additional power burdens and signal integrity issues of supporting
multiple loads on a high speed bus. The Pentium
®
II or Deschutes Processor card
supports both uni-processor and dual processor implementations.
The Pentium
®
II or Deschutes Processor utilizes Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.)
(Figure 1) cartridge packaging technology. The S.E.C. cartridge allows the L2 cache
to remain tightly coupled to the processor, while maintaining flexibility when imple-
menting high performance processors into OEM systems. The second level cache is
performance optimized and tested at the cartridge level. The S.E.C. cartridge utilizes
surface mounted core components and a printed circuit board with an edge finger
connection. The S.E.C. cartridge package introduced on the Pentium
®
II Processor
will also be used in future Slot 1 processors.
The S.E.C. cartridge has the following features: a thermal plate, a cover and a PCB
with an edge finger connection. The thermal plate allows standardized heatsink
attachment or customized thermal solutions. The thermal plate enables a reusable
heatsink to minimize fit issues for serviceability, upgradeability and replacement. The
full enclosure also protects the surface mount components. The edge finger connec-
tion maintains socketabilty for system configuration. The edge finger connector is
denoted as ‘Slot 1 connector’ in this and other documentation.
The entire enclosed product is called the Pentium
®
II or Deschutes Processor. The
IntroductionEP-61BXC-A

packaging technology and each of the physical elements of the product are referred
to using accurate technical descriptions. This allows clear reference to the products
as just a processor. This is the model used in past packaging technologies like PGA,
TCP, PQFP, DIP, etc.

Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP or A.G.P.)
Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and
demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the personal
computer become more and more popular, these demands will only increase. This
will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers. Lowering these
costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation behind AGP. By
providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between the video card and
the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures for quite sometime.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems opera-
tions and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of fan.

EP-61BXC-A Form-Factor
The EP-61BXC-A is designed with MicroATX form factor - the new industry
standard of chassis. The MicroATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard
rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for
the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the
expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. MicroATX defines
a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide
range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing
PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick,
modem, LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their
products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.
Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.
I/O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.01 or later. Mainboard could
be used in an ATX 2.01-compliant.
A smaller power supply cam be used. High integration on mainboard reduces the
system costs.

Power-On/Off (Remote)
The EP-61BXC-A has a single 20-pin connector for MicroATX power supplies. For
MicroATX/ATX power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should
be connected to the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The
systems power On/Off button should be a momentary button that is normally open.
The EP-61BXC-A has been designed with “Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off
the system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off the
button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the EP-61BXA-M’s
onboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system. Windows
95/98 will control this when the user clicks that they are ready to Shutdown the
system.

Installation EP-61BXC-A
Page 3-4
Note: Based on the implementation of Intel 440BX PCIset, EP-61BXC-A is
able to provide two host bus frequencies -- either 66 or 100MHz for Slot1
processor and memory operating. The default is set at 100MHz once
Pentium
®
II processor to be mounted onto this mainboard. However, no
matter what kind of Slot1 processor you installed, it should come with right
memory modules for normal and stable operation. For example, if you install
a Deschutes processor, you should use the SDRAM module with 100MHz
based(or above) to match the CPU speed. Furthermore, one thing you may
need to bear in mind, before the CPU installation, it is anyway our advice to
use JP3 and set up right speed of Slot1 processor at any time. You may feel
like to know about AGP interface, which always runs under 66MHz no matter
what frequency of processor you installed.
