Installation Steps
Before using your computer with the CPU card, complete the following steps:
1. Set jumpers on the CPU card and the baseboard.
2. Install memory in your computer.
3. Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply.
4. Install expansion cards.
5. Install the processor/s.
6. Set up the BIOS software.
1. Jumpers
Several hardware settings are made by using jumper caps to connect jumper pins (JP) on
both the baseboard and CPU card. See the layout of the CPU card on page 9 and of the
baseboard for locations of jumpers. For a description and explanaton of the different
jumper settings and their graphical representations as used in this manual. see your
baseboard’s manual.
WARNING! Computer boards and components contain very delicate integrated
circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, take
some precautions whenever you work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer before working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap when handling computer components. If you do
not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a
metal object, such as the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or
circuitry.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with
the component whenever the components are separated from the system.
Jumper Settings
1. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (JP1, JP2, JP3, JP4)
These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the
CPU and the External frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU.
