III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) III. INSTALLATION Installation Steps Before using your computer, you must complete the following six steps: 1. Set Jumpers on the Motherboard 2. Install DRAM (and SRAM) Memory 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

Onboard Multi-I/O Selection (JP14) You can disable the onboard Multi-I/O (floppy, serial, parallel, and IrDA) through BIOS (see CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP) and with the following jumper in order to use your own Multi-I/O card. Multi-I/O JP14 Enable [1-2] (Default) Disable [2-3] JP14 JP14 1 1 2 2 3 3 Enable I/O (Default) Disable I/O Super Multi-I/O (Enable / Disable) 2.

III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) III. INSTALLATION 3. Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM (JP16) This clears the user-entered information stored in the CMOS RAM of the Real Time Clock such as hard disk information and passwords. To clear the RTC data: (1) Turn off the PC, (2) Short this jumper, (3) Power on the PC, (4) Turn off the PC, (5) Remove this jumper, (6) Power on the PC, (7) Hold down during bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.

III. INSTALLATION 4. Battery Test Lead (JP7) The Real Time Clock RAM is powered by the onboard button cell battery. You can test the battery’s current by removing this jumper and attaching a current meter to each pin. WARNING: You must unplug the power cord to your power supply to ensure that there is no power to your motherboard. The RTC RAM containing BIOS setup information will be cleared by this ac- tion. You must enter BIOS to “Load Setup Defaults” and re-enter any user information aft

CPU External Clock (BUS) Frequency Selection (JP8, JP9) These jumpers tells 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 ad- vertised CPU speed). 6.

III. INSTALLATION 7. Voltage Regulator Output Selection (JP1, 2, 3, 4) Pentium Pro Processors may require different voltages. Current processors (marked "Pentium Pro") support VID and will automatically adjust the voltage regulator so that no jumper settings are needed (leave these jumpers open in this case). Older processors without VID support require manual voltage ID setting. Use [S] for Short and [O] or Open. Voltage 3.5 3.4 3.3 3.2 3.1 3.0 2.9 2.8 2.7 2.6 2.5 2.4 2.3 2.2 2.1 JP1 (VID 3)

III. INSTALLATION (Memory) III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (DRAM & SRAM) This motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (Asymmetric or Symmet- ric), Extended Data Output (EDO), or Burst Extended Data Output (BEDO). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each bank contains two of the same size memory modules. To support ECC, you must us
