Ihe |egasos || is a VicroAIX form factor motherooard for |ower|C G3 and
G4 processors. Ihe processor sits on its own interchangeao|e C|u modu|e
card which a||ows for very simp|e upgrading. Ihe speed of your computer
can oe upgraded oy on|y changing the C|u card.

|or the |egasos ||, Genesi uses the high-performance Varve|| 0iscovery ||
System Contro||er featuring an interna| oandwidth of 1Goit per second. 00k
kAV (0ouo|e 0ata kate kandom Access Vemory) support is provided as
we|| as two on-ooard ethernet contro||ers. Ihe first de|ivers 100 Gigaoits per
second for high-speed networking and the second offers an additiona| 100
Vegaoit per second for standard performance.

A|so, three |irewire ports are inc|uded (2 externa|, 1 interna|) for connecting
high-speed periphera|s. Ihere are four uS ports (2 externa|, 1 interna|, 1 on
the AG| s|ot). Ihese a||ow for the connection of many standard periphera|s
such as Vouse, Keyooard, |rinter, 0igita| Camera, etc.

|egasos || has two dua| channe| AIA100 connectors for attaching a tota| of
four |0L devices, such as harddisks, C0kOV drives, 0\0 drives, C0/0\0
ourners, etc.

Standard AC97 Audio is supported providing a variety of C0 qua|ity audio
ports. Additiona||y, there is digita| audio output via the S|0|| port.

|egasos || has three |C| expansion s|ots. One of these can oe fitted with a
kiser Card. A|so, an AG| (1X) s|ot is provided for graphics cards. Ihe |egasos
ooard supports the AG| 2.0 standard so most AG|1x and AG|2x cards wi||
work. |n order to oe sure, check if the vo|tage of your card is 3.3\.
Otherwise, your card wi|| not fit physica||y.

|egasos || a|so supports the fo||owing ports: ||oppy drive connector, Seria|
|ort, |ara||e| |ort, two |S/2 ports and a Game |ort.

1. xour processor card inc|udes a heat sink. Check if it is fitted correct|y
and is in fu|| contact with the surface of the processor. Ihe coo|er
shou|d not oe |oose, out fit tight|y against the processor.

2. ||ug the processor card in the
processor s|ot which is in the
centre of the motherooard as
seen on the i||ustration on this
page. Vake sure the processor
card is the correct way around,
otherwise it wi|| not fit. Set the
processor card in its s|ot and
push downwards at ooth ends.
Ihis may need a good push,
out do not use excessive force
as that can damage the
motherooard.


Note: Note: Note: Note: G4 processor cards inc|ude a fan. |f you own one of these cards, you
must connect the fan with the appropiate fan connector on the mainooard
as seen on the picture aoove.

1. Check if the case is on a steady
surface or on the f|oor.

2. Ihe mainooard is mounted in the
case via studs (sma|| screws with
ho|es in their oack) or spacers
(p|astic parts). Check which ho|es
in the computer case |ine up with
the ho|es in the motherooard.

3. Screw the studs or spacers in
those ho|es in the case.

4. Add the mainooard and p|ace it
on top of the spacers or studs.

5. ||ace screws through the ho|es on the mainooard and into the
studs. Ihen, screw them up.

Note Note Note Note: Ihe mainooard itse|f must not touch the case. Ihis wi|| cause short
