II. FEATURES
Features of the ASUS CPU Card
The ASUS C-P6ND is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants
great versatility in the assembly of a computer system. This CPU card:
•PS/2 Connectors: PS/2 Mouse & PS/2 Keyboard connectors on bracket.
•Versatile Processor Support: Supports dual 150-200MHz Pentium Pro Pro-
cessor in ZIF socket 8.
•Intel Chipset: Features Intel's 440FX PCIset with I/O subsystems.
•ErrorChecking and Correcting (ECC): Using Intel's 440FX PCIset and par-
ity DRAM modules can detect and correct 1 bit memory errors.
•InternalL2 Cache Support: Supports Intel CPU's built-in 256KB/512KB (de-
pending on CPU) Level 2 cache so that no external SRAM chips are needed.

Jumper Settings
1. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (JP13, 14, 15, 16)
These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the
CPU and the External frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU. These
must be set together with the above jumpers CPU External (BUS) Frequency
Selection.
2. CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (JP6, 7)
These jumpers tells the chipset what frequency the CPU is using.

3. Voltage Regulator Output Selection (JP2-5, 9-12)
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.

4. CPU cooling fan connector (JP1, JP8)
This connector supports a CPU cooling fan of 500mAMP (6WATT) or less.
Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring may be different. The red wire
should be positive, while the black should be ground. Connect the fan to the
board taking into consideration the polarity of the connector.
WARNING: Damage may occur to the motherboard and/or the CPU fan
if these pins are incorrectly used. These are not jumpers, do not place
jumper caps over these pins.
