R III. INSTALLATION Jumper Settings 1. Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM (RTCLR) The CMOS RAM is powered by the onboard button cell battery. To clear the RTC data: (1) Turn off your computer and unplug the AC power, (2) Move this jumper to Clear CMOS, (3) Move the jumper back to Normal Set., (4) Turn on your computer, (5) Hold down during bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences. Battery Test Jumper (BAT_TEST) You can test the battery’s current by removing this jumper and attach

INSTALLATION Compatible Cyrix CPU Identification The only Cyrix processor that is supported on this motherboard is labeled Cyrix 6x86-P166+, which should be Revision 2.7 or later. Look on the underside of the CPU for the serial number, which should read G8DC6620A or later. 2. CPU Voltage Output Selection (VID0, VID1, VID2) These jumpers set the voltage supplied to the CPU. The voltage regulators will auto- matically detect and switch between Single Power Plane

CPU External Frequency (BUS) Selection (FS0, FS1, FS2, FS3) 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 multi- plied by the BUS Ratio equals the CPU’s internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed). When BUS Frequency is set to 75MHz or more, the PCI Frequency Selector (FS3) must be set
