Intel YM430TX User’s Manual 9
2. Features
(Intel YM430TX)
Performance:
• SDRAM Optimized Performance – Synchronous dynamic random access
memory (SDRAM) increases the data transfer rate from a maximum of 264 MB
per second using EDO memory to a maximum of 528 MB per second using
SDRAMs.
• Double the IDE Transfer Speed – Intel’s 430TX PCIset improves the IDE
transfer rate by using Bus Master UltraDMA/33 IDE, which can transfer data at
rates up to 33MB per second. This new technology is compatible with existing
ATA-2 IDE specs, so there is no need to upgrade current hard drives or cables.
• Concurrent PCI – Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master
buses to memory to CPU.
• ACPI Ready – The advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) pro-
vides more energy-saving features for future operating systems (OS) by sup-
porting OS-direct power management (OSPM). With these features implemented
in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock every day, yet satisfy energy-
saving standards. To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, systems must use an
ACPI-supported OS — such as the successor to Windows 95.
Intelligence:
• Virus Write Protection – Normally, viruses can destroy data on storage media.
Some new-generation viruses can also clear BIOS data, which is usually unpro-
tected. The Intel YM430TX motherboard was designed to cooperate with BIOS,
chipset, and flash memory to disable write permission when the system’s initial-
ization stage is completed upon boot-up.
• Auto Fan Off – The CPU fan will power off automatically even in sleep mode.
This feature reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is an im-
portant feature for silent PC systems.
• Dual-function Power Button (requires ATX power supply) – The system can
be in one of two states, sleep or soft-off. Pressing the power button for less than
4 seconds places the system into sleep mode. Pressing the power button for
more than 4 seconds places the system into soft-off mode.
• Remote Ring On (requires ATX power supply) – This feature allows a com-
puter to be turned on remotely through a modem. With this feature enabled, any
user can access vital information from their computer from anywhere in the world.
• Message LED – By illuminating in different ways, chassis LEDs can provide
meaningful information. For example, an LED might blink to indicate that the fax/
modem is transferring data or light steadily to indicate that the fax/modem is idle.

3. Installation
Installation Steps
Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:
1. Set jumpers on the motherboard.
2. Install memory modules.
3. Install the processor.
4. Install expansion cards.
5. Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply.
6. Set up the BIOS software.
1. Set Jumpers on the Motherboard.
Several hardware settings are made by using jumper caps to connect jumper pins
(JP) on the motherboard. See the motherboard layout on page 12 for locations of
jumpers. The jumper settings are described numerically , such as [----], [1-2], [2-3].
For no connection, connect pins 1 and 2 and connect pins 2 and 3. Pin 1 is always
on top
Pin 1
or on the left
Pin 1
when holding the motherboard with the keyboard
connector away from you. A “1” is written beside pin 1 on jumpers with three pins.
The jumpers are also shown graphically such as to connect pins 1&2 and
to connect pins 2&3. Jumpers with two pins are shown as for short (on)
and for open (off). For manufacturing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing
pins from other groups. Use the diagrams in this manual instead of following the
pin layout on the board. Settings with two jumper numbers require that both jump-
ers be moved together. To connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over
the two pins as diagrammed.
WARNING! Computer motherboards and components contain very delicate
integrated circuit (IC) chips. To protect the motherboard and other compo-
nents against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precau-
tions whenever you work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer before working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap when handling computer components. If you do
not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a
metal object, such as the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or
circuitry.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with
the component whenever the components are separated from the system.

4. CPU External (Bus) Frequency Selection (FS0, FS1, FS2)
These jumpers tell the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU.
These allow the selection of the CPU’s external frequency (or bus clock).
The bus clock times the bus ratio equals the CPU’s internal frequency (the
advertised CPU speed).
5. CPU to Bus Frequency Ratio (BF0, BF1)
These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the internal frequency of the CPU
and the external frequency (called the bus clock) within the CPU. These must be
set together with the jumpers for CPU External (Bus) Frequency Selection.

3. Installation
2. Install Memory Modules
This motherboard supports four 72-pin, 32-bit single inline memory modules
(SIMMs) of 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 MB each, to form a memory size between 8 and 256
MB. The SIMMs can be either 60ns or 70ns, asymmetric or symmetric, fast page
mode (FPM) or enhanced data out (EDO) memory. (BEDO & parity are not sup-
ported). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each row contains 64 bits of the
same size and type of chips. One side of the SIMM module (with chips) takes up
half a row on the motherboard. (Refer to the motherboard layout on page 6 .)
Dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) can be used when SIMMs are not used.
Two sockets are available for 3.3-volt power level, unbuffered synchronous DRAMs
(SDRAMs) or EDO DRAMs of either 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 MB each to form a
memory size between 8 and 256 MB. One side of the DIMM module (with chips)
takes up one row on the motherboard.
IMPORTANT: You must set up memory speed through “Auto Configuration” in
the BIOS Chipset Setup of the BIOS software. If both 60ns and 70ns memory are
used, set “Auto Configuration” to 70ns. Do not use memory modules with more than
24 chips per module. Modules with more than 24 chips exceed the design specifica-
tions of the memory subsystem and will be unstable.
