The jumper is shorted when the jumper cap is placed
over the two pins of the jumper.
The jumper is open when the jumper cap is removed
from jumper.
2.2 CPU TYPE
2.2.1 INTEL PENTIUM CPU
The pentium processors have different operation voltage. In order to using the CPU
Voltage correctly, the following is the marking for identify the CPU type.
Fig. 2a CPU Description
(Bottom Side)
Description :
X = Voltage Specification (S or V) Y = Timing Specification (S or M)
S = Standard Voltage (3.4V) S = Standard EDS timings
V = VRE 3.4 - 3.6V (3.5V) M = Min Valid Delay Spec.
Z = Dual Processing Support ( S or U)
S = Support DP/MP/UP
U = Not tested to support DP
