1 Chapter 1 Introducing the Motherboard Introduction Thank you for choosing K8T890-A motherboard of great performance and with enhanced function. The K8T890-A is designed to fit the AMD K8 processors in the 939-pin package. Based on the ATX form factor, measuring 305 mm x 211 mm, this motherboard incorpo- rates the following chipsets: K8T890 Northbridge and VT8237 Southbridge chipsets. The K8T890 Northbridge features the HyperTransport Technology to transfer of 2000MT/ s, 1600 MT/s, 1200 MT/s, 800 MT/s or 400 MT/s each direction simultaneously, providing a total maximum data transfer bandwidth of 8 GB/sec. Two 184 pin unbuffered DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets support up to 2 GB in total memory. Aside from the onboard AGP Express slot, one PCI Express x16 slot, intended for Graphics interface, is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 1.0a. The K8T890 Northbridge intercon- nects to the South Bridge through the high speed 8x 66 MHz (533 MB/sec) V-Link inter- face. The VT8237 Southbridge is a highly integrated peripheral controller, it includes an inte- grated keyboard controller with PS2 mouse support, two-channel Serial ATA/RAID hard disk controller, master mode enhanced Parallel IDE controller with full scatter/gather capability and extension to UltraDMA-133/100/66 for 133/100/66 MB/sec transfer rate, integrated USB 2.0 interface supporting up to 8 USB 2.0 ports. The VT8237 features outstanding expansion capibility such as, five PCI slots with PCI v2.2 compliant. The VT8237 integrated Fast Ethernet controller with standard MII interface to an external PHY for 10/100Mb Base-T Ethernet, as well as AC’97 audio codec compliant. There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, COM1, LPT1, four USB ports at the rear I/O, one LAN port (op- tional), and audio jacks for microphone, line-in, and line-out. Introducing the Motherboard

2 Feature Processor K8T890-A uses a 939-pin socket that carries the following features: • • Supports AMD K8 processors with HyperTransport Technology Transfer rate of 2000/1600/1200/800/400 MT/s HyperTransport Technology is a point-to-point link between two devices, it enables integrated circuits to exchange information at much higher speeds than currently avail- able interconnect technologies. Chipset The VIA K8T890 Northbridge (NB) and VIA VT8237 Southbridge (SB) chipset is based on an innovative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance. K8T890 (NB) VT8237 (SB) • • • • • • • • • 1000/800/600/400/200 MHz clock rates with Double Data Rate-style operation for 2000/1600/1200/800/400 MT/s in both directions simultaneously Supports 66 MHz, 8x/4x transfer modes, Ultra V-Link Host interface with 1 GB/s total bandwidth Supports asynchronous interface between HyperTransport and PCI Express Compliant with advanced high bandwidth PCI Express 1.0a Supports 16-bit 66 MHz V-Link Host interface with total bandwidth of 1066 MB/s Compliant with PCI 2.2 specification at 33 MHz, supporting up to 6 PCI masters Integrated Dual channel UltraDMA 133/100/66 Master Mode EIDE Controller USB 2.0 Controller, supporting for 8 USB 2.0 ports Integrated keyboard Controller with PS2 mouse support Memory • • • Supports DDR400/333/266 memory types with Dual-channel architecture Accommodates two unbuffered 2.5V 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets A total maximum capacity 2 GB Audio CODEC • • • • • Meets Microsoft WHQL/WLP 2.0 audio requirements Compliant with AC’97 v2.3 specification High quality differential CD input Supports double sampling rate (96KHz) of DVD audio playback Direct Sound 3DTM compatible Introducing the Motherboard
