W6-LI System Board Manua. Introductio. Introductio. Thank you for choosing the W6-LI system board. The W6-LI is the highest performing advanced dual processor solution for the industry's most demanding workstation and server applications. Based on the Intel 440FX PCIset, the W6-LI supports the most advanced processor architecture, the Pentium Proa, which provides the speed and performance necessary to address the most intensive computational applications. Integrated Ultra Wide SCSI (up to 40MBytes/sec transfer rate), PCI and ISA slots, up to 512K of Level 2 cache on each CPU and support of Universal Serial Bus (USB), make this board powerful and feature rich. The USB interface has a maximum bandwidth of 12Mbps and can connect as many as 127 devices to a host system. USB supports both standard devices that operate at the full 12Mbps rate and low-end devices that use only a 1.5Mbps subchannel. Designed to fit into the most modern ATX form factor, the flexible W6-LI also f...
