PDF datasheets for Zida Tomato 6DLX

Document Revision: 1.04. Intended for Zida 6DLX, EX98, CreateLX-AT, CreateLXe-AT, CreateLX-ATX and CreateLXe-ATX.

Congratulations on purchasing the highest performance 6DLX/EX98/CreateLX/LXe/EX-AT/ATX PENTIUM II or Celeron motherboard. With the advanced technologies available today, this motherboard is designed to optimize for Intel’s PENTIUM II processors at speeds of 233 MHz and 333 MHz or higher. Three unbuffered, 3.3 Volts, 168-pin DIMM sockets are included for supporting SDRAM. A Slot 1 connector allows an easy upgrade path for the future PENTIUM II processors.

This motherboard utilizes Intel's 82440LX/EX 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). The integrated super 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.

This mainboard is designed to support the new graphic interface standard, Accelerated Graphic Port (AGP), The AGP interface can reach a theoretical ~532Mbytes/sec transfer rate for 3D graphics data. On the other hand, the on-board 32-bit PCI local bus slots allow a high bandwidth data path, which serves as a super highway, for intensive data-movement such as networking. The BIOS support PCI bridge user configuration, which allows for further expansion of the system with PCI peripherals. Up to two 16 bit ISA slots allow this board to be backward 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.
