PCL5100 features and upgrades Motherboard jumper settings There are only a few jumpers on the motherboard that you may need to alter. All others are set at the factory and should not be changed. On the motherboard, pin 1 of each jumper block is indicated by a small triangular marking. Processor voltage and bus speed (PL19, PL18) CAUTION Do not change these jumpers unless you have upgraded the processor. If they are set incorrectly the processor and other vital motherboard components could be des

PCL5100 features and upgrades Adding more memory You can give your PC more memory by adding or replacing memory modules called “DIMMs”. The motherboard’s two DIMM sockets accept DIMMs of up to 128 Mbytes in any combination (giving a maximum memory capacity of 256 Mbytes). IMPORTANT The DIMMs you use must have the following specification: gold contacts, 3.3V, 64-bit, unbuffered, either SDRAM-type with Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and a CAS latency of 2 at 66 MHz or else EDO-type with 60 ns timing

If the module will not fit easily, remove it and start again. To remove a DIMM 1. Press the tabs on both of the socket’s end clips at the same time. This will release the DIMM and lift it partly out of the socket. 2. Pull the DIMM clear of the socket. Hold the DIMM by its ends and avoid touching the metal contacts. 3. Pl

PCL5100 features and upgrades Adding more video memory Video memory is memory reserved for use by the on-board video controller. More video memory can provide more colours or higher resolutions to an extent determined by the capabilities of your monitor. If your computer has 1 Mbyte of video memory, you can upgrade it to the maximum of 2 Mbytes. To add video memory 1. Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords. 2. Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove the system covers. Take sui

PCL5100 features and upgrades Upgrading the processor The ZIF socket is designed to accept Pentium® processors (see the table earlier in this chapter). You may wish to upgrade your processor by replacing it with one of higher performance. Read the following instructions carefully before starting work. Changing the processor 1. Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords. 2. Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove the system covers. Take suitable antistatic precautions at all times

Separate the fan-sink from the processor by twisting the fan- sink from side to side to loosen the grip of the thermal bonding compound, then slide the fan-sink off to one side of the processor. WARNING When you remove the fan-sink there will be a residual deposit of thermal bonding compound on the bottom of the fan-sink and the top of the processor. This compound can cause skin irritation and stain clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash y

PCL5100 features and upgrades To replace the battery 1. Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords. 2. Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove the system covers. Take suitable antistatic precautions at all times while the motherboard is exposed. 3. Remove any expansion cards or drives that may impede access to the battery. 4. Using a non-conductive implement, release the latch that holds the battery in place. The battery will pop up allowing you to lift it out of the holder. WARNI

BIOS SETUP & POST BIOS (pronounced “bye-oss”) stands for ‘basic input/output system’. The BIOS mediates between the computer’s hardware – the processor, memory, and so on – and its software – the operating system and your programs. The BIOS program is kept in permanent, read-only memory or ROM (although if necessary it can be upgraded by an authorised maintainer). BIOS Setup is a helpful utility that forms part of the BIOS program. It allows you to view and alter the computer’s hardware configur
