S370 Series CPU Cards

The optional ASUS S370 Series CPU Cards allow Slot 1 motherboards to accept
socket 370 processors. The ASUS S370 Series CPU Cards give Slot 1 motherboard
owners an inexpensive way to upgrade their Pentium II computers using lower cost-
ing socket 370 processors. Since socket 370 processors are based on the Pentium II
design, the only difference is the connector and the amount of internal cache within
the processor.
The following are pictures of the ASUS S370 Series CPU Cards with black plastic
retainers attached to the edge. The retainer fins are used to hold the ASUS S370
Series CPU Cards in place using the motherboard’s Slot 1 retention mechanisms.

WARNING! Exceeding your socket 370 processor’s required voltage can dam-
age your processor permanently! Make sure that the jumpers are as shown for
“CPU Def.” unless otherwise specified before powering ON your motherboard.
Using the ASUS S370 Series CPU Card
The general procedure for using the ASUS S370 Series CPU Card is as follows:
1. Check the voltage setting for your socket 370 processor using the jumpers on
thecardifnecessary.Forcurrent socket370 processors,the defaultsetting should
be used. See the reverse side of the ASUS S370 Series CPU Card or this page
for voltage settings.
2. Install the socket 370 processor. Installation of socket 370 processors is exactly
like socket 7 processors. Lift the brown lever to 90° to install the processor and
lower the brown lever to lock the processor.
3. Insert the ASUS S370 Series CPU Card into Slot 1 on the motherboard. The
retainer fin on each side of theASUS S370 Series CPU Card must catch on the
retention mechanism so that it locks in place.
4. Connect the socket 370 processor’s fan connector to the motherboard.
5. Make sure that no wires or objects come in contact with the fan.
ASUS S370 Series CPU Card Jumper Settings
The only set of jumpers on theASUS S370 Series CPU Card is used for setting the
voltage sent to the CPU. Setting the CPU voltage is not necessary for current socket
370 processors. If required, your socket 370 processor should have its voltage re-
quirement printed on its surface or documentation. If no voltage is indicated or you
are not sure, use the “CPU Def.” setting as shown below.
