III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) III. INSTALLATION 3. Voltage Regulator Output Selection (VID0, 1, 2) These jumpers set the voltage supplied to the CPU. The voltage regulators will auto- matically detect and switch between Single Power Plane & Dual Power Planes. WARNING! Incorrect settings can damage your CPU. If you are not abso- lutely clear on CPU jumper settings, check with your retailer. Pentium MMX (P55C) Intel Pentium (P54C) AMD-K6 AMD-K5 IBM/Cyrix 6x86(MX) IBM/Cyrix 6x86(M1) (150MHz-233MHz

CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (FS0, FS1, FS2) 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). 5. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (BF0, BF1) These jumpers set the frequency ratio bet

III. INSTALLATION (System Memory) III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory 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. IMPORTANT: Me

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 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, rock the

III. INSTALLATION (CPU) III. INSTALLATION 3. Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard provides a 321-pin ZIF Socket 7 that is backwards compatible with ZIF Socket 5 processors. The CPU that came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. Apply thermal jelly to the CPU top and then install the fan onto the CPU. WARNING: Without a fan circulating air on the CPU and heat sinks,

III. INSTALLATION 4. Expansion Cards WARNING: Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. First read your expansion card documentation on any hardware and software settings that may be required to setup your specific card. NOTE: PCI Slot 4 has a MediaBus extension 2.0 which allows the installation of a PCI card or a MediaBus card (optional

III. INSTALLATION (DMA Channels) III. INSTALLATION Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may need to use IRQs. System IRQs are avail- able to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first, and any remaining IRQs are then used by PCI cards. Currently, there are two types of ISA cards. The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as “Legacy” ISA cards, requires that you configure the card’s jumpers manually and then install it in any available slot on the ISA bus. You may use Microso
