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. Total Level 2 Cache Size Setting (L2SIZE) This jumper sets the total amount of L2 cache that is present. 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 cache module of either 256KB or 51

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 between the Intern
