UART 2 Selection (JP24 & 25) (SMC37C665IR Only) If your motherboard is using the SMC37C665IR chipset, besides changing the function of UART2 (serial, parallel, floppy, and infrared) in BIOS setup (see page 38), you must also change the following jumpers. If your motherboard is not using this chipset, UART2 is controlled through BIOS only and these jump- ers will not be available on the motherboard. UART2 COM2 Infrared JP24 [1-2] [2-3] JP

CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (JP15 & 16) These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the CPU and the External frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU. These must be set together with the above jumpers CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection. 7. CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (JP29 & 30) These jumpers instructs the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU.

JP37 JP38 JP37 JP38 III. INSTALLATION 11. PCI Slot 1 Mode Selection (JP37, 38) By default, the onboard IDE uses Programmable I/O (PIO) Mode and PCI Slot 1 uses BUS Master Mode so that BUS Master expansion cards on PCI Slot 1 can be used. If you want the onboard IDE to use BUS Master mode and are not planning to use a BUS Master card on PCI 1, then you may select Slave mode for PCI 1.

III. INSTALLATION (External Cache) III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (DRAM & SRAM) This motherboard supports eight 72-pin SIMMs of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 512MB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (Asymmetric or Symmetric) or EDO. To support ECC, you must use true (opposed to phantom parity generated by logic chips) 36-bit parity-type DRAM (e.g. 8 chips + 4 parity chips) in pairs for all modules. Mixing 32-bit non-parity DRAM (e.g.
