EP-6VBA Introduction EP-6VBA Form-Factor The EP-6VBA is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of chassis. ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host

EP-6VBA Installation Section 3-2 System Memory Configuration Memory Layout The EP-6VBA supports (3) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO (Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM). • DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or 125MHz (8ns) bus speed. • If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure your BIOS to read 60ns. • When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the 4 clock variety over the 2 clock.
