These allow the selection of the CPU’s External frequency (or BUS Clock). The BUS Clock times the BUS Ratio equals the CPU's Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed). 6. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (JP4, 5, 6, 7) These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the CPU and the External frequen

III. INSTALLATION (Memory) 2. System Memory (DRAM/SDRAM & SRAM) This motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (Asymmetric or Symmetric), Extended Data Output (EDO), or Burst Extended Data Output (BEDO). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each bank contains two of the same size memory modules. To support ECC, you must use true (oppos

DRAM Memory Installation Procedures: 1. The SIMM memory modules will only fit in one orientation as shown because of a "Plastic Safety Tab" on one end of the SIMM sockets which requires the "Notched End" of the SIMM memory modules. 1234 Notched End Bank 0 Bank 1 72 Pin SIMM DRAM Sockets & Module 2. Press the memory module firmly into place starting from a 45 degree angle making sure that all the contacts are aligned with the socket. 3. With your finger tips, rock the memory module into a vertica
