Introduction
Mainboard Form Factor
The board 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 integra-
tors 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 board 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 board 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
button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the onboard circuit
®
controller) that can be controlled by the operating system such asWindows 95/
®
98/SE/ME or Windows 2000.
