Processors Supported
The Intel® AN430TX Motherboard supports Intel® Pentium® processors at 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 166 and 200 MHz, as well as Pentium processors with MMX™ technology running at 166, 200 and 233 MHz. Changing the processor requires changes in several jumper settings. For additional information, click here.
Warning: Processors not specifically listed by type and rated speed may have requirements that are not supported by the motherboard's design. Use of these processors may result in improper operation, damage to the motherboard or processor, or reduced product life.
Windows* 95 power-down issues
Intel has received reports from users who have experienced system hangs or long delays when shutting down from Windows 95. See Shutdown issues with Windows* 95 for more information.
Audio drivers and Windows* NT* 4.0
If you have difficulty installing audio drivers with Windows NT 4.0, check the installation instructions found in the included README.TXT file. These steps must be followed exactly to successfully install the drivers.
Optional graphics memory
Intel® AN430TX Motherboard with the optional ATI Rage* II+ graphics controller come with 2 MB of video memory installed. It is not possible to install additional video memory on this motherboard.
Windows* 95 with CD-ROM or second hard drive
Having problems with Windows* 95 and a CD-ROM or second hard drive? There are two known issues that may be affecting your system: you may need to update Windows 95 to recognize the Intel 82371AB PIIX4 IDE Controller, or your IDE CD-ROM may not comply with the ATAPI specification.
Booting from large IDE hard drives
Some large IDE drives may not initialize quick enough for the system to boot. Try setting the "Quick Boot" option in the BIOS Setup utility to disable. Another option is to warm boot the system by pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE when the "No Operating System Found" message appears.
Yellow question marks in Configuration Manager
Seeing yellow question marks in the Windows 95 Configuration Manager next to the entries for the PCI-ISA bridge and the Power Management PIIX4 device? This suggests you may need to run the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility to update Windows 95 to recognize the IDE Controller.
USB device cannot be disabled
It is not possible to disable the USB Device in the PIIX4 IDE Controller. This device always will appear in the Windows 95 Configuration Manager. The resources cannot be released for use by other devices.
Motherboard won't power up
If the motherboard won't power up, or the fan turns on for one second then shuts down, ensure you are using a momentary switch for the sleep/resume feature. The result may be the board getting stuck in sleep mode. Use the correct type of switch and remove the battery for 20 minutes to clear the flip-flop that controls sleep mode.
Turning power off during POST
Turning your system power off may take up to four seconds while the BIOS is performing the Power On Self Test (POST). Simply depress and hold the power on/off button until the system powers down.
Will my ATA-66 hard drive work on the Intel® AN430TX Motherboard?
The IDE controller integrated into the Intel® AN430TX Motherboard supports Ultra DMA modes 0,1, and 2. Ultra DMA mode 2, also known as ATA-33 or Ultra DMA 33, is the highest speed transfer mode supported by the Intel® AN430TX Motherboard. The motherboard hardware cannot support the maximum transfer rate of the ATA-66 drives. A drive that complies with the ATA-66 specification will run timings up to Ultra ATA-33 on the Intel® AN430TX Motherboard.
