III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) III. INSTALLATION Installation Steps Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps: 1. Set Jumpers on the Motherboard 2. Install DRAM Modules 3. Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) 4. Install Expansion Cards 5. Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power Supply 6. Setup the BIOS Software 1. Jumpers Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper pins (JP) on the motherboard. See "Map of the Motherboar

III. INSTALLATION Jumper Settings 1. Memory Cacheable Size (CBSIZE) The default of 64MB uses only the onboard TAG SRAM which allows cacheable memory up to 64MB. If you install DRAM above 64MB and wish to allow cacheable memory above 64MB, you need to install a TAG SRAM upgrade and set this jumper to 512MB. See this section for “TAG SRAM Upgrade.” Cacheable Size CBSIZE 64MB [1-2] (Default) 512MB [2-3] CBSIZE CBSIZE 1 1 2 2 3 3 64MB Cacheable (Default) 512MB Cacheable Cacheable Size (64MB / 512M

III. INSTALLATION 4. Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM (RTCLR) This clears the user-entered information stored in the CMOS RAM of the Real Time Clock such as hard disk information and passwords. To clear the RTC data: (1) Turn off the PC, (2) Short this jumper, (3) Power on the PC, (4) Turn off the PC, (5) Remove this jumper, (6) Power on the PC, (7) Hold down during bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.

CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (FS1, FS2) These jumpers tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU. 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 ad- vertised CPU speed). 6. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (BF0, BF1) These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the

INSTALLATION Cyrix CPU Identification The Cyrix CPU that is supported on this motherboard is labeled Cyrix 6x86 P166+ but must be Revision 2.7 and later. Look on the underside of the CPU for the serial number. The number should read G8DC6620A or larger. 7. CPU Voltage Regulator Selection (VID) These jumpers set the voltage supplied to the CPU.

III. INSTALLATION (Memory) III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (DRAM & SRAM) This motherboard supports six 72-pin SIMMs of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. 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. 8 chips)

III. INSTALLATION 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.
