3.1 Processor
The TI6NBF+ motherboard is designed to take a Pentium II / Pentium !!!
processors running 233MHz ~ 500MHz using a Front Side Bus / Bus
Speed of 66MHz ~ 100MHz with its Slot 1 processor connector.
3.2 L2 Cache
The L2 cache is integrated in the Pentium II processor. The private L2
cache bus is not connected to package pins, rather its signals are routed
between the two cavities using standard package techniques.
3.3 Main Memory
The TI6NBF+ motherboard supports 32MB or 64MB SDRAM on board
and three 168-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets.
DIMM modules can be 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB and 128MB in
SDRAM DRAM. In populating the DIMM sockets, DIMM1, DIMM2,
and DIMM3 bank can be populated first. Refer to the following table
showing examples on how to configure the memory.
NOTE
: Use SDRAM modules with PC100 specification when running
100MHz CPU bus speed. With 66MHz CPU bus speed, SDRAM
modules with PC66 or PC100 specification can be used.

3.4 BIOS
The BIOS on the TI6NBF+ motherboard provides the standard BIOS
functions plus the following additional features:
1. ISA Plug and Play (PnP) Extension
Unlike PCI cards that are Plug and Play, ISA cards require setting
jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts. To make a computer system
PnP, an ISA PnP standard is established and supported by new
operating systems, such as Windows 95. Under Windows 95, the
motherboard BIOS must have an ISA PnP extension to support new
ISA PnP cards.
2. Power Management
The power management feature provides power savings by slowing
down the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the
HDD spindle motor. The BIOS fully conforms to ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface) specification.

3.9 Onboard Multi-I/O
The onboard multi-I/O chip, W83977TF, supports a keyboard controller
(AMI copyright), two serial ports, one parallel port, one floppy controller
and one IrDA port. The serial ports are 16550 UART compatible. The
parallel port features high-speed EPP/ECP mode. The floppy controller
supports up to 2.88 MB format.
3.10 Onboard AGP Slot
The AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot supports AGP compliant
VGA cards to achieve rich 3D and video graphics display. AGP is a
platform bus specification that enables 3D graphics capabilities including
support for z-buffering, alpha blending and faster texture mapping.
3.11 Hardware Monitoring IC
The TI6NBF+ comes with the Winbond W83781D hardware monitoring
IC. It monitors several hardware parameters including power supply

4.1 CPU Frequency Setting
The TI6NBF+ motherboard allows users to set the CPU speed through
the BIOS. The parameters in setting the CPU speed include CPU Clock
Multiplier and CPU Clock/PCI Clock.
In the initial setup, the system automatically detects the bus speed (front
side bus) of the CPU (66MHz or 100MHz). Press the ↑ and ↓ keys to
change the CPU speed or press the PageUp or PageDown key to see the
selections for CPU Clock Multiplier and CPU/PCI Clock Select.
CPU speed configuration examples:
A. CPU-frequency auto-detect
CPU Speed : 300MHz (100x3) CPU Speed : 233MHz (66x3.5)

4.2 100MHz CPU Host Frequency Force Selector: JP7
The TI6NBF+ is able to detect the host frequency (66MHz or 100MHz)
of the installed CPU. The JP7 jumper, however, can be set to
OPEN
to
override the detection and force the host frequency to run at 100MHz.

Host Frequency

The JP10 jumper on the TI6NBF+ motherboard is the
133MHz CPU
Host Frequency Force Selector.
When it is short, the host frequency
(bus speed) is auto detected by the system. When it is open, the host
frequency is set to 133MHz. The 133MHz forced setting applies only to
the TI6NBFV+ motherboard that uses the VIA Apollo Pro Plus chipset.
When JP10 is open, both the CPU and memory implements 133MHz
frequency. The memory module used should therefore be PC133
compatible. With a motherboard integrating the Intel 440BX AGPset,
setting JP10 to OPEN will have no effect, because the host frequency has
been fixed to 100MHz during shipment.
4.4 Clear CMOS Select: JP4
Use JP4, a 3-pin header, to clear the contents of the CMOS RAM. Do not
clear the CMOS RAM unless it is absolutely necessary. You will lose
your password, etc. To clear CMOS, the ATX-power connector should
be disconnected from the motherboard
