Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the NFORCE3-A939 motherboard. This motherboard is a high
performance, enhanced function motherboard that supports Socket 939 AMD K8 proces-
sors for high-end business or personal desktop markets.
The NFORCE3-A939 motherboard is based on
NVIDIA™ NFORCE®3 250, which is a
single-chip, highly integrated, high performance HyperTransport
TM
peripheral controller,
unmatched by any other single chip-device controller.
This motherboard supports two
DDR modules at 400/333/266/200 MHz operation with up to 2 GB of system memory, high
resolution graphics via one AGP 8X slot, 5 PCI expansion slots, 10/100 LAN, eight USB 2.0
ports, and 6-channel audio.
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, one optional LAN port, and audio
jacks for microphone, line-in, and line-out. This motherboard is designed in an ATX form
factor using a four-layer printed circuit board and measures 295 mm x 205 mm.

- Connecting pins 1 and 3 to a front panel mounted led provides visual indication that data is being read from or written to the hard drive for the led to function properly an ide drive should be connected to the onboard ide interface the led will also show activity for devices connected to the scsi hard drive activity led connector 18
- Connecting pins 2 and 4 to a single or dual color front panel mounted led provides power on off sleep and message waiting indication 18

- Power switch 18
- Reset switch 18
- Supporting the power on off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a momentary contact switch that is normally open the switch should maintain contact for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off the time requirement is due to internal de bounce circuitry after receiving a power on off signal at least two seconds elapses before the power supply recognizes another on off signal 18
- Supporting the reset function requires connecting pin 5 and 7 to a momentary contact switch that is normally open when the switch is closed the board resets and runs post 18
- The front panel header sw1 provides a standard set of switch and led headers commonly found on atx or micro atx cases refer to the table below for information 18
