1.15.4Installation Requirements

CAUTION

To avoid an adverse impact on the compliance with safety or regulatory requirements due to installation of this board assembly, the following guidelines must be followed.

1.15.4.1Follow Installation Instructions

Be sure to read and adhere to all of these instructions, and the instructions supplied with the host system and associated modules. If the instructions of the host system appear to be incompatible with these instructions or the instructions of any associated modules, contact the suppliers’ technical support organizations for the products involved to determine the appropriate action for continued safety and regulatory compliance of the resultant system. Failure to read and follow instructions provided by host system and module suppliers may result in increased safety risk and non-compliance with regional laws and regulations.

1.15.4.2Assure Host System Compatibility

For electromagnetic compatibility, the host system enclosure and power supply should have passed electromagnetic compatibility testing using a board with a microprocessor from the same family as the microprocessor on this board, operating at the same or higher microprocessor speed. Also, only peripherals (computer input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) that are CE Marked and certified by the FCC to comply with Class B limits may be attached to this board. Pay particular attention to the installation instructions of the host system and other modules, particularly concerning certifications, external I/O cable shielding and filtering, mounting, grounding and bonding requirements to assure appropriate shielding effectiveness. Otherwise electromagnetic compatibility testing must be repeated on a representative sample of the complete system.

For safety, if mismating of connectors could result in a hazard, assure that all connectors are sufficiently keyed to prevent mismating.

1.15.4.3Use Only In Intended Applications

This product was evaluated for use in systems installed in offices, homes, schools, computer rooms or similar applications. Other applications, such as medical, industrial, alarm systems and test equipment may necessitate a re-evaluation of the product suitability.

TE430VX specifications

The Intel TE430VX was a landmark product in the realm of computing during the early 1990s. This microprocessor, part of Intel's line of Pentium processors, was primarily aimed at the burgeoning market for personal and business computing.

One of the main features of the Intel TE430VX was its 32-bit architecture, which allowed for a significant increase in processing power compared to its predecessors. The 32-bit data bus enabled the handling of larger amounts of data simultaneously, enhancing overall system performance. The TE430VX was capable of executing instructions at clock speeds ranging from 60 MHz to 66 MHz, which was quite impressive for its time. This processing power made it suitable not only for everyday computing tasks but also for more demanding applications such as graphic design and gaming.

The TE430VX also incorporated advanced technologies such as pipelining, which allowed it to execute multiple instructions in a single clock cycle. This feature contributed to improved performance and responsiveness, making the user experience smoother. The microprocessor supported a variety of RAM types, including EDO (Extended Data Out) RAM, which further enhanced its performance by reducing memory access times.

Another characteristic that set the TE430VX apart was its compatibility with a wide range of operating systems, including DOS, Windows, and various UNIX variants. This flexibility ensured that users could run their preferred software without compatibility issues, making it a versatile choice for home and business environments alike.

The integration of a built-in memory controller also simplified motherboard design, reducing the overall cost of systems utilizing the TE430VX. This chip also supported advanced graphics options, allowing users to experience better multimedia performance through dedicated graphics cards.

Power consumption was another consideration in the design of the TE430VX. It was engineered to operate efficiently while maintaining good performance, an important factor for long-term sustainability in computing environments.

In summary, the Intel TE430VX was a significant advancement in microprocessor technology during the early 1990s. Its 32-bit architecture, pipelining capabilities, compatibility with multiple operating systems, and efficient power consumption contributed to its reputation as a reliable choice for both personal and professional use, solidifying Intel's position as a leader in the computing landscape.
