Description
The CI6BM is a Pentium II / Pentium !!! Industrial CPU card based on
Intel’s 440BX chipset and is fully designed for harsh industrial
environment. It features a side-pocket type Slot 1 processor socket for
processor insertion stability.
The CI6BM comes with Winbond’s W83781D hardware monitoring
device that monitors system and CPU temperature, system voltages, and
CPU and chassis fan speeds to prevent system crashes by warning the
user of adverse conditions. The power management feature provides
power savings by slowing down the CPU clock, turning off the monitor
screen and stopping the HDD spindle motor.

Chapter 2 Installations
CPU Installation
The CI6BM Industrial CPU Card supports a Slot 1 connector processor
socket for Pentium II-processors.
To secure the installation of the Pentium II processor, the CI6BM is
designed with the Slot 1 positioned like a side-pocket with the Pentium II
processor to be inserted vertically in parallel with the CPU card and not
side ways as with conventional CPU cards. This design allows easy
installation and better access of the CPU, more secure installation for the
processor and CPU card, and higher integration for more I/O space.
Before installing the Pentium II processor into the Slot connector, ensure
that the CPU fan is installed first. After doing so, insert the processor into
the Slot 1 connector. Locking mechanism on both side of the Slot 1
connector will ‘click’ and secure the Pentium II processor.
To uninstall the Pentium II processor, simply push the locking
mechanism on both sides simultaneously and remove the Pentium II
processor. No tools are needed.
CAUTION: When removing the Pentium II processor, be extra careful
so as not to damage the DIMM sockets.

Memory Installation
The CI6BM Industrial CPU Card supports two 168-pin DIMM sockets.
The SDRAM memory modules can come in sizes of 16MB, 32MB,
64MB, 128MB and 256MB.
The CI6BM Industrial CPU Card supports two 168-pin DIMM (Dual
In-line Memory Module) sockets. Refer to the following table on how to
configure the memory.
NOTE: Use SDRAM modules with PC100 specification when running
100MHz CPU bus speed. With 66MHz CPU bus speed,
SDRAM modules with PC66 or PC100 specification can be
used. You have to install the Pentium II processor before
installing the memory modules.

NOTES: The switch settings for 650MHz CPUs and above are for
reference only. As of the time of the printing of this manual, these CPUs
were not tested yet.
Switches DSW1(2), DSW1(3) and DSW1(4) should be left to its default
setting of OFF. Do not reset these switches. For ‘engineering sample’
CPU, DSW1(1) can be used to set the CPU bus speed. For 66MHz, set
this switch to ON; for 100MHz, this switch is OFF. For ‘mass produced’
CPU, DSW1(3) should be set to OFF for auto-detection of the CPU bus
speed.

Chapter 3 BIOS Configuration
BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel Pentium II processors in a
standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical
low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports
and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as
special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the
entire system.
BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is
immediately activated. Pressing the key immediately allows you
to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously
pressing the to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items,

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
