PDF datasheets for Zida Tomato 5STX-E

Document Revision: 1.1, Intended for Zida 5STX and 5STX-E

Congratulations on purchasing the highest performance Pentium motherboard. With the advanced technologies available today, this motherboard is designed to run Intel’s Pentium processors at speeds up to 233 MHz. The on-board system memory consists of SIMM and DIMM which gives you the most flexibility for system design. It supports up to 256 MB of DRAM using standard 72-pin SIMM sockets that accept either Fast Page Mode (FPM) and Extended Data Out (EDO) memory. In addition, an unbuffered, 3.3 Volts, 168-pin SDRAM socket is also included for up to 256MB Synchronous Dynamic Memory support. A 298-pin ,type 7, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket allows an easy upgrade path for the future Pentium Overdrive processors.

This motherboard utilizes Intel's 82430TX PCI chipset. The Intel 82371AB PCI/ISA IDE Xccelerator (PIIX4) provides an integrated Bus Mastering IDE controller with two high performance IDE interfaces for up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives or CD-ROM) and “Ultra 33” Synchronous DMA mode transfers up to 33Mbytes/sec. The integrated I/O controller integrates the standard PC I/O functions: floppy interface, two FIFO serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel port, and support for an IrDA and Consumer Infra Red compatible interface.

The three on-board 32-bit PCI local bus slots allows a higher bandwidth data path, which serves as a super highway, for intensive data-movement such as video or networking. The BIOS support PCI bridge user configuration, which allows for further expansion of the system with PCI peripherals. Up to three 16-bit ISA slots allow this board backward hardware compatible with the older expansion card. A total of six expansion slots may be populated with full length add-in cards, since one PCI and ISA slot share the same chassis I/O panel.
