TE430VX Motherboard Technical Product Specification

1.15.4.4Assure Host System & Accessory Certifications

Assure that the host system, any other subassemblies such as board & drive assemblies being added in, and internal or external wiring, are properly certified for the region(s) the end-product will be used in. Proof of certification can be determined by the marks on the product. For example:

Europe

The CE Marking signifies compliance with all relevant EU requirements. If the host system does not bear the CE Marking, obtain a supplier’s Declaration of Conformity to the appropriate standards required by the European EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive. Other Directives, such as the Machinery and Telecommunications Directives, may also apply depending on the type of product. No regulatory assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally, or wiring used externally when provided with appropriate overcurrent protection. Appropriate protection is achieved by max. 8 Amp current limiting circuit or a max. 5 Amp fuse or Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistor (PTC). All Intel motherboards presently have PTC’s on all external ports which provide DC power externally.

U.S.

For safety, a certification mark by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as UL, CSA or ETL. External wiring must be UL Listed and suitable for the use. Internal wiring must be UL Listed or Recognized and rated appropriately for the voltages and temperatures involved. For electromagnetic interference, the FCC mark: Class A for commercial or industrial only; or Class B for all applications other than described in Item 1.14.3.3 above.

Canada

For safety, a nationally recognized certification mark such as CSA or cUL. No regulatory assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally, or wiring used externally when provided with appropriate overcurrent protection. Appropriate protection is achieved by max.

8 Amp current limiting circuit or a max. 5 Amp fuse or Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistor (PTC). All Intel motherboards presently have PTC’s on all external ports which provide DC power externally.

1.15.4.5Installation Precautions

During installation and initial test, use caution to avoid personal injury and damage to wiring due to sharp pins on connectors and printed circuit assemblies, rough chassis edges and corners, and hot components. Adhere to warnings and limitations regarding accessibility into areas designated only for authorized technical personnel.

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.
