INTRODUCTION

The MS-6112 is a high-performance personal computer mainboard based on the Pentium® II processor.

The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel® 82440LX AGPset which optimize the system bandwidth and concurrency with the implementation of Quad Port Acceleration (QPA). QPA provides 4-port concurrent arbitration of the processor bus, graphics, PCI bus and SDRAM.

The Intel® 82371AB chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management) function. The Intel® 82371AB chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 33MB/s.

The mainboard also supports the LM78 System Hardware Monitor Controller as optional function. The LM78 function includes: CPU /power supply/chassis fan revolution detect, CPU/system voltage monitor, system temperature monitor, and chassis intrusion detect(optional).
