2-1 Setting System Jumpers
Warning: Incorrect jumper configurations may damage the CPU, the mainboard
and other sensitive electronic components. It is advisable to consult
product literature before configuring the jumpers on the PV 2208
mainboard.
The PV 2208 mainboard has four jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP3 & JP4) that enable the user
to set-up the mainboard for optimal performance based on their computing needs. A
jumper is the simplest type of electrical switch. It consists of two metal pins and a
metal clip, which is covered by a plastic cover. You may set up you mainboard to
match the needs of your applications by setting the jumpers. To open a jumper, you
remove the clip. To close a jumper, you connect the pins by using the clip.
The jumper settings are presented above.
Clearing The CMOS:
In order to clear the data stored in the CMOS, first turn off the computer and
remove the power cord. Next, ground yourself and locate JP2 on you
mainboard. Then remove the jumper from pins 2 & 3 and place the jumper on
pins 1 & 2 (3V battery back up). Reattach the power cord and restart the

2-2 System Memory
The PV 2208 mainboard can support up to 1.5GB of 100MHz or 133Mhz SDRAM.
Installing memory modules requires no system setup what so ever.
Note:
1. The PV 2208 mainboard can only accommodate DIMMs (Dual Inline
Memory Modules). The DIMM sockets on the PV 2208 are for 3.3V (power
level) SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).
2. Due to the strict timing issues involved under this speed, you must insure that
SDRAM is 100/133MHz compliant.
Installing System Memory
Insert the DIMM as illustrated in the diagram below. Due to the number of pins
between each of the breaks in the module, the DIMM will only fit into the socket one
way. Please insure that the DIMMs that you are using are 3.3V.
To insert the DIMM into the socket, first the DIMM socket levers (the white levers on
either side of the DIMM socket) must be pushed out away from the socket itself. Then
line up the pins on the DIMM to the corresponding pins in the socket. Push the DIMM
securely down into the socket. As the DIMM slides into the socket, the DIMM socket
levers will snap back in toward the DIMM socket securing the DIMM into place.
