!This User's Guide
Note: Do not remove the mainboard from its original packing until ready to install.
The mainboard is easily damaged by static electricity. Observe the following precautions
while unpacking and installing the mainboard.
1. Touch an unpainted area of the system chassis before handling the mainboard or
any component. Doing so, discharges the static charge the user's body may have
built.
2. Remove the mainboard from its anti-static wrapping and place it on a grounded
surface, component side up.
3. Inspectthe mainboard for damage. Shipping may have loosened integrated
circuits from their sockets. If any integrated circuit appears loose, press carefully
to seat it firmly in this socket.
Do not apply power if the mainboard appears damaged. If there is damage to the board, or
items are missing, contact dealer immediately.

CONFIGURATION
The special feature of the mainboard is a built-in direct-mapped cache controller
with optional write-back or write-through operation which supports 256KB,
512KB, or 1MB cache memory.
The mainboard has a built-in cache controller. It requires external SRAM as tag
and cache memory. The caching Scheme is direct mapping with selectable write-
back or write-through operation. The mainboard allows 256KB, 512KB, or 1MB
cache configurations. Memory size is selected by the hardware jumpers and the
BIOS setup program.

Chapter 28
2.5.1 UPGRADING CACHE
The mainboard is available with an optional 256KB, 512KB, or 1MB cache
memory on-board. User can upgrade cache memory by installing additional
SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) chips in sockets U10-U17; U9.
The speed of the SRAM chips needed depends on the clock speed of the
microprocessor:
75,90,100,120,133MHz CPU requires 15ns (tag and data) SRAM chips.
2.5.2 CACHE SIZE AND MEMORY LOCATIONS
The table on following page describes the chip capacity and socket location
required for each cache size configuration. User can use 32Kx8-bit,
64Kx8-bit, or 128Kx8-bit SRAM chips in the Data RAM sockets, and
8Kx8-bit, 16Kx8-bit or 32Kx8-bit SRAM chips in the Tag RAM socket.

2.14 MEMORY INSTALLATION
The mainboard lets user add system memory via SIMM sockets on the mainboard.
On-board memory is located in two banks: Bank 0 - SIM1 & SIM2, and Bank 1 -
SIM3 & SIM4. DRAM Configuration "Table-Free"
is supported on this board. See Fig 2.
User can install either 1/2/4/8/16/32/64MB SIMM (72-pin) in each SIMM
socket. Note that all SIMM modules in a bank must be the same capacity.
SIMMspeed required for best performance depends on the CPU speed, which
requires 70ns SIMM.
