8 Hardware Installation Step 3. Configure Memory Your board comes with three DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 768MB of main memory using DIMM modules from 8MB to 256MB. For 66MHz front side bus CPUs use 12ns or faster memory; for 100MHz front side bus CPUs use 8ns (100MHz, PC100 compliant) memory. Memory Configuration Table Number of Memory Modules DIMM 1 DIMM 2 DIMM 3 1 3rd 2 2nd 3rd 3 1st 2nd 3rd RAM Type SDRAM Memory Module Size (MB) 8/16/32/64/128/256 Mbytes Note:(1) 256 MB memory modules available on PC registered DIMM only. (2) Always install memory modules in the order prescribed in this table. (3) Do not install unbuffered and registered memory modules together. Important: It is of prime importance that you install DIMM modules as outlined in the table above in order to preserve signal integrity on 100MHz front side bus systems. Step 4. Set SW1 for power up FSB clock and AGP bus clock. SW1 is used to adjust AGP bus clock frequency depending on the value of the front side bus (FSB) clock, also the setting of the SW1 determines the power up FSB clock which will remain effective until the BIOS set the FSB clock to the CMOS setting. SW1 Setting Power up FSB Clock AGP Clock 66MHz AGP Clock = FSB Clock ÷ 1 100MHz AGP Clock = FSB Clock ÷ 1.5 Note: The specification of maximum AGP bus Clock frequency is 66.6MHz. ∗ Set SW1 to open when you use a FSB 100MHz CPU such as 350MHz, 400MHz, 450MHz , or 500MHz. ∗ Set SW1 to close when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU such as 233MHz, 266MHz, 300MHz, 333MHz , or 366Mhz only for Celeron. ∗ Set SW1 to open when you use a FSB 66MHz but want to over clock the FSB clock to 100MHz via the BIOS setting.

9 Hardware Installation Step 5. Set the CPU Frequency You do not need to set any jumper for the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU setting are changed through the BIOS [CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP]. Please refer to Chapter 3 - Quick BIOS Setup for details on how to set the Pentium® II processor frequency. Step 6. Enable/Disable Power-On by Keyboard (JP50) You can choose to enable the Power-On by Keyboard function by shorting pin 1-2 on jumper JP50, otherwise, short pin 2-3 to disable this function. Power-On by Keyboard Enable Disable JP50 Setting Short pin 2-3 to enable the Power-On by Keyboard function. Short pin 1-2 to disable the Power-On by Keyboard function. Important: When using the Power-On by Keyboard function, please make sure the ATX power supply can take at least 720mAmp load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet the standard ATX specification. Step 7. Clear CMOS Data (JP5) Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5 for at least 5 seconds, and then by shorting pin 1-2 to retain new settings. This jumper can be easily identified by its white colored cap. CMOS Clearing Clear CMOS Data Retain CMOS Data JP5 Setting Short pin 2-3 for at least 5 seconds to clear the CMOS.
