Desktop Board
DX58SO Technical Product Specification (Order Number E59290).
1. Added Note to Section 2.1 Memory Resources section.
NOTE
Due to limitations imposed by the original IBM PC-AT specification the total peripheral
option space is 128KB. The impact of this limitation is that it may not be possible to
use multiple add-in cards, which have legacy option-ROMs, in conjunction with the
DX58SO’s on board devices due to the limited space available. Examples of these
cards are LAN, RAID, and graphics cards.
The symptom of over-crowded option ROM space is that some devices will not be
initialized and therefore will not function correctly, or not appear in the operating
system.
