III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) III. INSTALLATION Installation Steps Before using your computer, you must follow the six steps as follows: 1. Set Jumpers on the Motherboard 2. Install DRAM Modules 3. Install the CPU 4. Install Expansion Cards 5. Connect Cables, 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 Motherboard" on page 4 for loca- tions of jumper

III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) III. INSTALLATION 3. Total Level 2 Cache Size Setting (JP17) This jumper sets the total amount of L2 cache that is present. If you have two cache chips onboard (see "Map of Motherboard" for locations), then you have 256KB. A cache module can be used to upgrade the 256KB version to 512KB. If there is no onboard cache, you may install a cache module of either 256KB or 512KB. IMPORTANT: See page 14 "SRAM Cache" for installation proce- dures. Regardless of your cac

CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (JP14, JP15, JP16) These jumpers tell 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 advertised CPU speed). 7.

III. INSTALLATION (DRAM Memory) III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (DRAM & SRAM) This motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, or 32MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 128MB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (FPM) (Asymmetric or Symmet- ric) or Enhanced Data Output (EDO). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each bank contains two of the same size memory modules. Maximum memory size of SIMM’s must be 128MB or less. IM

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 slots which requires the "Notched End" of the SIMM memory modules. 1234 DRAM Memory Module Example Notched End Bank 0 Bank 1 72 Pin SIMM DRAM Sockets 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, roc

III. INSTALLATION (External Cache) III. INSTALLATION Static RAM (SRAM) for Level 2 (External) Cache The motherboard you purchase may have either 0KB, 256KB, or 512KB onboard. If you have both onboard cache chips (see "Map of Motherboard" for locations) and a Cache Expansion Slot, then you have 256KB. If you only have onboard cache chips, then you have 512KB. An "ASUS" or "COAST" cache module can be used to upgrade the 256KB version to 512KB. If there is no onboard cache, you may install a ca
