CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
It is important to set jumpers correctly. Improper jumper setting
will cause system instability, destruction of components, and/or
system hang-up.
Step 1: Set the CPU US CLOCK and Core Frequency Ratio
(see “JC1 Jumper” section)
JC1 is used for CPU US CLOCK and bus to core
frequency ratio. Caution: If these jumpers aren’t set
correctly, it will cause the system to be unstable or system
hang-up, and it may reduce the life cycle of the CPU.
Step 2: Install CPU, VRM, DRAM, Expansion Card, and External
cables (see “Connectors” section)
Caution: All parts need to be set to avoid system board
malfunction.
Step 3: Turn Power on and setup IOS software (see “ IOS Setup”
section)

Power Saving Switch: JG1
Attaching a power saving switch to this connector will allow the
system into sleep mode whenever this switch is pressed.
CMOS RAM Clear: JP1
The system board configuration is stored in CMOS RAM. If you
need to clear the system board configuration do the following:
1. Turn power off.
2. Short jumper JP1.
3. Turn power on.
4. Enter the IOS setup
to re-setup the IOS.
5. Reboot the system.

CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Note: Some CMOS RAMs require a different procedure:
1. Short jumper JP1.
2. urn on system
3. urn off the system
4. Remove JP1 jumper.
5. Turn on power again.
6. Reset IOS.
Sy tem Memory In tallation: SIMM1-SIMM4
The system board provides four 72-pin SIMM sockets which are
numbered from SIMM1 to SIMM4. The system board supports
memory sizes from 8M to 512M using 4M , 8M , 16M ,
32M , 64M , and 128M DRAM modules. It supports both Fast
Page Mode (FP), Extended Data Output Mode (EDO), and urst
Extended Data Output Mode ( EDO), with symmetric or
asymmetric row/colum address.
DRAM Population Rule
In order to create a memory array, certain rules must be followed.
The following set of rules allows for optimum configuration.
1. DRAM modules must be populated in pairs; the
memory array is 64-or-72-bits wide. (64-bit
modules are no parity.)
2 -
5

CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2. DRAM modules can be populated in any order
(i.e. SIMM1/2 does not have to be populated
before SIMM3/4 are used.)
3. DRAM module pairs need to be populated with
the same densities...single or double. For
example, SIMM1/2 sockets must be populated
with identical densities. However SIMM3/4
sockets can be populated with different densities
than SIMM socket pair 1/2. In addition,
asymetric DRAMs of the same type should be
used in a whole row.
4. EDO, EDO, FP modes can be mixed in the
memory array. However only one type should be
used per SIMM socket pair. For example:
SIMM sockets 1 & 2 can be populated with EDO
while SIMM sockets 3 & 4 can be populated with
FP mode type DRAM.
5. The DRAM timing which provides the DRAM
speed grade control for the entire memory array
must be programmed to use the timing of the
slowest DRAM that is currently installed.
Note: o use the ECC (Error Code Correct) function, a SIMM module with
parity support must be used. At this time you can turn on the ECC function
in the BIOS setup.
Note: Before using DRAM modules, make sure that that the modules used
is the same as in the above chart.

CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. Check to see which side of the plastic safety tab is on the slot
before installing.
2. Line up the notch of the module against the slot.
3. Press the module firmly into place at a 45 degree angle.
4. Carefully press down on the top edge of the module to set it in
the SIMM slot.
5. The plastic guides should go through the two holes on the sides
and the metal clips should snap on the other side. If it doesn’t
slide in easily, take it out and try again.
6. To release module, squeeze both metal clips outwards and rock
the module out of the metal clips.
CPU In tallation
Open Socket 8 by pulling the lever away from the socket then
upwards at a 90 degree right angle. Insert the CPU according to the
orientation as shown. IF it does not fall in easily then try a different
direction because the pin configuration only fits one way as opposed
to earlier CPUs. Make sure that the CPU is well seated and close to
the lever. See following figure:
