Advanced/ZP Technical Product Summary • Page 3
Introduction
The Intel Advanced/ZP baseboard features the Pentium
processor in a Baby-AT form factor with integrated I/O.
Advanced/ZP baseboards are focused on providing the best possible performance at the lowest possible price for mainstream
desktop computers.
Advanced/ZP is a flexible baseboard which is available with the 75 MHz, 90 MHz, 100 MHz, or 120 MHz Pentium processor.
The processor is complemented by a standard 256 KB asynchronous SRAM second level write-back cache and support for up
to 128 MB of Fast Page or EDO DRAM. A Pentium OverDrive
socket (Socket 5) provides access to future performance
enhancements.
The Advanced/ZP baseboard offers outstanding I/O capabilities starting with the full set of I/O, including a floppy drive
interface, dual channel PCI local bus IDE interfaces, two serial ports with FIFOs, an EPP/ECP capable parallel port, and an
infrared (IrDA) port. Two dedicated PCI local bus slots, and one shared PCI/ISA slot, provide a high bandwidth data path for
functions such as graphics that have a high data throughput requirement. The integrated Bus Mastering capable PCI IDE
controller provides two high performance IDE interfaces for hard drives and CD-ROMs. Bus mastering enhances the
performance in multi-tasking environments such as Windows* 95. The Advanced/ZP baseboard also provides three dedicated
ISA connectors and one shared PCI/ISA connector. There is one PCI full length capable slot, and three ISA full length
capable slots.
In addition to superior hardware capabilities, features like Windows 95-ready Plug and Play and Advanced Power
Management (APM) with application restart are provided by software available from Intel for the Advanced/ZP platform.
The Advanced/ZP baseboard provides the foundation for cost effective, high performance, highly expandable platforms which
deliver the latest in CPU and I/O technology.
Although the Advanced/ZP will support CGA emulation by VGA cards, it will not support CGA cards.
ADVANCED/ZP FORM FACTOR
The Advanced/ZP baseboard is designed to fit into a standard Baby-AT form factor chassis. Figure 1 illustrates the
mechanical form factor for the Advanced/ZP. The actual dimensions of the Advanced/ZP baseboard do not strictly adhere to
the standard Baby-AT guidelines, and exceptions to the standard are listed in the Baseboard Design Exceptions section.
