The Pentium
®
II or Pentium
®
III Processor (The Pentium
®
III Processor as 300/
100MHz, 350/100MHz, 400/100MHz, 450/100MHz, 500/100MHz and 550/
100MHz speed with 512K-L2 cache Versions.) is the follow-on to the Pentium
®
Processor. The Pentium
®
II or Pentium
®
III 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 Processor 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 Pentium
®
III 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 Pentium
®
III Processor
card supports both uni-processor and dual processor implementations.
The Pentium
®
II or Pentium
®
III 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 implementing 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
connection maintains socketabilty for system configuration. The edge finger
connector is denoted as ‘Slot 1 connector’ in this and other documentation.

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 pres-
sures for quite sometime.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems
operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM
of fan.
IntroductionEP-BX5C
Page 1-5
EP-BX5C Form-Factor
The EP-BX5C is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of
chassis. The ATX 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. ATX 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. The
mainboard should be used in an ATX 2.01 (or later) compliant case.
A smaller power supply can be used. High integration on mainboard
reduces the system costs.

I/O Shield Connector
The EP-BX5C is equipped with an I/O back panel. Please use the appropriate I/O
shield (figure 3).
ATX
POWER SUPPLY
Power-On/Off (Remote)
The EP-BX5C has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For 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-BX5C 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-BX5C’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-BX5C
Page 3-3
Note: Based on the implementation of the Intel 440BX AGPset, the EP-BX5C
is able to provide multiple front side bus (FSB) frequencies for Slot 1
processors and memory operations. The mainboard's FSB is easily se-
lected by BIOS Setup listed above to match the FSB required by your
processor. When using the 100MHz FSB (or higher) you must use
PC100 (or better) compliant SDRAM.
Memory is an important component of any motherboard. When
selecting memory for use on the EPoX brand motherboard we
recommend use only the finest quality modules. EPoX would like to
stress that using non-compliant PC100 SDRAM modules with a
100MHz (or higher) FSB severely compromises the integrity of the
system.
