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

JP4 JP4 III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) III. INSTALLATION 3. Total Level 2 Cache Size Setting (JP4) 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 "External Cache" for installation procedures. Regardless of your cac

III. INSTALLATION 5. Voltage Regulator Output Selection (JP16-JP20) These jumpers set the voltage supplied to the CPU. Determine whether your CPU has a single power plane or dual power planes and then the voltage that it uses. Current Intel CPU's marked "Pentium" has only a single power plane and uses the standard 3.38 volts (STD) or 3.5 volts (VRE). When a single power plane CPU is installed, the dual power plane selections will be automatically disabled. When a dual power plane CPU is ins

CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (JP1, JP2, JP3) 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. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (JP5, JP6) These jumpers set the fr

Related III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (DRAM/SDRAM & 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 (Asymmetric or Symmetric) or EDO. SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each bank contains two of the same size memory modules. A new feature is the support of Dual Inline Memory Mod- ules (DIMM). One slot is available for a 3.3Volt

III. INSTALLATION (DRAM Memory) 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 & Module 2. Press the memory module firmly into place starting from a 45 degree angle making sure that all the contacts are aligned with

III. INSTALLATION SDRAM Memory Installation Procedures: Insert the module as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module will only fit in the orientation as shown. DRAM SIMM modules have the same pin contact on both sides. SDRAM DIMM modules have different pint contact on each side and therefore have a higher pin density. 88 Pins 60 Pins 20 Pins Lock 168 Pin DIMM Socket & SDRAM Module The Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) memory module must be 3.3Vo

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
