SPECIFICATION CLARIFICATIONS
The Specification Clarifications listed in this section apply to the DK440LX Motherboard Technical Product
Specification
(Order Number 682717). All Specification Clarifications will be incorporated into a future version
of that specification.
1. Network Operating System May Report Lost Hardware Interrupts
Because of an interaction between the Intel

82093AA I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
(IOAPIC) and the Novell Netware* operating system, Novell may post a message to the screen that reports
lost or spurious hardware interrupts. These messages and the time required to process them may cause
some small increased processor latency, but they have no other impact for the end user. Certain debug
hooks built into the operating system may not operate correctly and this could affect application developers.
2. The Intel
®
Celeron™ Processor
While the Intel

Celeron™ processor uses the same P6 microarchitecture as the Pentium

II processor,
there are some differences. No qualification or compatibility testing has been performed using the Celeron
processor and the BIOS does not contain support for this processor. A Celeron processor will be identified as
a Pentium II processor by the system. While the Celeron processor may appear to work in the motherboard,
the reliability of operation is not known.
