Getting Started 2
This chapter identifies the Intel
®
440BX Scalable Performance Board Development Kit’s key
components, features and specifications, and tells you how to set up the board for operation.
2.1 Overview
The evaluation board provided in your kit is a scalable board design. It supports 440BX AGPset-
based designs with several different Intel processors and core voltages

:
• Intel
®
Pentium
®
III Processor at 600 MHz, 700 MHz and 850 MHz (FC-PGA package, 100
MHz processor system bus)
• Intel
®
Celeron™ Processor at 300A MHz, 366 MHz and 433 MHz (PPGA package, 66 MHz
processor system bus)
• Intel
®
Celeron™ Processor at 566 MHz and 733 MHz (FC-PGA package, 66 MHz processor
system bus)
• Intel
®
Celeron™ Processor at 850 MHz (FC-PGA package, 100 MHz processor system bus)
• All future PGA370-socketed Intel
®
Pentium
®
III and Celeron™ processors (.18µ and .25µ
technologies)
This scalable board design provides an example of a single-platform solution that supports multiple
processors. Following this example, OEMs can design products that are scalable over a broad
range of Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors.
The evaluation board consists of a baseboard and a processor assembly.
• The processor assembly contains an 850 MHz Intel
®
Pentium
®
III Processor, an 82443BX
Host Bridge/Controller and the supporting circuitry.
• The baseboard contains the 82371EB PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator (PIIX4E) and other system
board components and peripheral connectors.
Warning: The processor assembly is attached to the baseboard at the factory. Do not remove the processor
assembly from the baseboard. Intel will not support the processor assembly or the baseboard if any
portion of the assembly is removed by the customer.
2.1.1 Processor Assembly Features
The processor assembly features are summarized below.
• Pentium III Processor in a FC-PGA package (PGA370) with 100-MHz system bus frequency
• Intel 440BX AGPset: 82443BX Host Bridge/Controller
1. Core voltages are specified in the Intel
®
Pentium
®
III and Celeron™ processor datasheets.
See “Related Documents” on page 10. No jumpers are required to switch between voltages; the
core voltage is automatically sensed by the regulation circuitry.
