Use of unsupported processors may result in improper operation, damage to the desktop board or processor, or reduced product life. Except as provided in Intel's Terms and conditions of Sale for such products, INTEL ASSUMES NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, AND INTEL DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, RELATING TO SALE AND/OR USE OF THE INTEL PRODUCTS INCLUDING LIABILITY OR WARRANTIES RELATING TO FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT.
Board Revision note: A small bar-coded label, similar to the diagram shown below, can be found on the component side of the desktop board. The numbers following the letters "AA" can help identify the type and version of your desktop board. The AA contains a 6 digit main number, and a 3 digit dash number (the 3 numbers following the "-".
The statement "...or later" refers to the dash number of the AA (the three numbers following the "-"). If this number is greater than the number listed in the table, the board supports the associated processor(s).
If your 6 digit main number is not listed in the table, contact your system manufacturer for processor support information.
The motherboard has three, dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. Minimum memory size is 16 MB; maximum memory size is 768 MB. The BIOS automatically detects memory type, size, and speed.
The motherboard supports the following memory features:
|
Memory can be installed in one, two, or three sockets. Memory size can vary between sockets.
Note: BIOS revision P14 or later is required to support 256 MB DIMMs. The 256 MB DIMMs used with this board must be built with 128 Mbit device technology.
DIMM Vendors - Web Sites
The list below contains vendors that have tested their memory for Intel® JN440BX motherboards, and that have their products listed on their own website. Please visit their sites to obtain information on their products.
DIMM Vendors - SDRAM Non-ECC DIMMs
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) improves memory performance through memory access that is synchronous with the memory clock. This simplifies the timing design and increases memory speed because all timing is dependent on the number of memory clock cycles.
NOTE:All memory components and DIMMs used with the JN440BX motherboard must comply with the PC SDRAM Specifications. These include: the PC SDRAM Specification (memory component specific), the PC unbuffered SDRAM Specifications, and the PC Serial Presence Detect Specification.
Customers can access these documents through the PC SDRAM Specifications website. See the technical product specification for more information about these specifications.
The following tables list DIMMs that have been tested. DIMMs that are not listed should also function properly as long as their specifications are compatible with the devices listed below. In general, DIMM devices that are faster than those specified for a given platform will work, although no extra performance will be realized.

The following table describes the effect of using Setup to put each memory type in each supported mode. Whenever ECC mode is selected in Setup, some performance loss occurs.
Memory Error Detection Mode Established in Setup Program

The following tables list DIMMs that have been tested. DIMMs that are not listed should also function properly as long as their specifications are compatible with the devices listed below. In general, DIMM devices that are faster than those specified for a given platform will work, although no extra performance will be realized.

It is recommended that an active (fan) heatsink be used with the processor for proper cooling. It is the responsibility of the system integrator to ensure thermal considerations, listed in the Intel JN440BX Motherboard Technical Product Specification, are met.
System Memory
The three Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) sockets support a minimum of 8 MB of SDRAM, and a maximum of 384 MB. Memory size and speed can vary between sockets, allowing 100 MHz DIMMs and 66 MHz DIMMs to be installed at the same time. However, processors with a 100 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) can only be paired with 100 MHz SDRAM DIMMs. See the list of tested memory.
Power Considerations
The Intel JN440BX Motherboard requires a 3.3 volt power supply that complies with the NLX 1.2 specification. For Wake On LAN* (WOL) technology capability, the Intel JN440BX Motherboard also requires a soft-off power supply that has at least 720mA of 5 volt standby current to keep the remote WOL circuit alive.
There is no power connector on the Intel JN440BX Motherboard. Power, I/O slots, and data connections all reside on an NLX 1.2 compliant riser card, which is required to power the motherboard. Risers may be specific to a chassis style or sold by third party vendors. See the NLX website for vendor lists. Note: This link will take you off of the Intel website.

Disabling the Onboard Audio
The onboard audio can be disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility. Select the Advanced menu, then the Peripheral Configuration screen.
AGP Video Cards Supported
The Intel JN440BX Motherboard supports half-length NLX form factor AGP cards. For information on the half-length form factor, check the current AGP interface specification and the associated Engineering Change Releases (ECRs).

Will My ATA-66 Hard Drive Work on the Intel JN440BX Motherboard?
The IDE controller integrated into the Intel JN440BX 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 JN440BX 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 JN440BX Motherboard. Please refer to the Technical Product Specification and the Motherboard Specification Update for more complete details on the various transfer modes.
