Introduction

Thank you for choosing the W6-LI system board. The W6-LI is the highest performing advanced dual processor solution for the industry's most demanding workstation and server applications.

Based on the Intel 440FX PCIset, the W6-LI supports the most advanced processor architecture, the Pentium Pro®, which provides the speed and performance necessary to address the most intensive computational applications. Integrated Ultra Wide SCSI (up to 40MBytes/sec trans- fer rate), PCI and ISA slots, up to 512K of Level 2 cache on each CPU and support of Universal Serial Bus (USB), make this board powerful and feature rich.

The USB interface has a maximum bandwidth of 12Mbps and can connect as many as 127 devices to a host system. USB supports both standard devices that operate at the full 12Mbps rate and low-end devices that use only a 1.5Mbps subchannel.

Designed to fit into the most modern ATX form factor, the flexible W6-LI also features support for Fast Page Mode (FPM) and Extended Data Out (EDO) DRAM advanced memory, and Error Checking and Correction (ECC). The ATX form factor allows critical components such as floppy drive connectors, chassis fan, CPU and memory to be strategically located so that full length cards can be used in all slots.

Micronics builds all products to exacting standards, using the highest quality components available. We are proud to provide this system board and believe you will be pleased with your purchase.
