& K D S W H USystem BoardSystem Board1-1The V56LA is a high-performance system board with a 64-bitarchitecture. It supports the Intel P54C and P55C CPUs running at100/120/133/150/166/200 MHz. It also supports 6x86/6x86LCyrix/IBM and AMD K5/K6 CPUs. The system board utilizes thePeripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) local bus architecture thatmaximizes the system performance by enabling high-speedperipherals to match the speed of the microprocessor with its 120 MBor 132 MB per second transfer rate in burst mode.A 1-MB or 2-MB SGRAM comes mounted onboard. Two DRAMbanks composed of four 72-pin sockets come with the board tosupport single- and double-density SIMMs for a maximum systemmemory of 128 MB. The SIMM sockets accommodate both thestandard page mode and extended data output (EDO) type SIMMs.The board supports a 256-KB or 512-KB pipeline burst second-levelcache.The system board includes a 188-pin connector for the slot board thatcontains the PCI and ISA bus slots. The two onboard PCI-enhancedIDE interfaces with a zero-wait state and 16.6 MB per second transferrate support up to four IDE devices. Onboard I/O interfaces compriseof two UART 16550 serial ports, a parallel port with ECP/EPP feature,and PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports.As added enhancements, the board also incorporates a Sound BlasterPro-compatible audio subsystem plus plug-and-play (PnP), powermanagement, and software shutdown features.
