2Introduction
Unpacking the Mainboard
The mainboard package contains:
¥ The EQ82C661X Mainboard
¥ This UserÕs Guide
Note: Do not unpack the mainboard until you are ready to install it.
Follow the precautions below while unpacking the mainboard.
1. Before handling the mainboard, ground yourself by grasping an
unpainted portion of the systemÕs metal chassis.
2. Remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging and place it on
a grounded surface, component side up.
3. Check the mainboard for damage. If any chip appears loose, press
carefully to seat it firmly in its socket.
Do not apply power if the mainboard appears damaged. If there is
damage to the board contact your dealer immediately.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Make sure you ground yourself before handling the mainboard or other
system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily damage the
components. Note that you must take special precaution when handling
the mainboard in dry or air-conditioned environments.
Take these precautions to protect your equipment from electrostatic
discharge:
¥ Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
the mainboard and other system components.
¥ Ground yourself before removing any system component from its
protective anti-static packaging. To ground yourself grasp the
expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the computer
chassis.
¥ Frequently ground yourself while working, or use a grounding strap.
¥ Handle the mainboard by the edges and avoid touching its
components.

2 Hardware Setup
This chapter is designed for Normal edition mainboard use only and it
explains how to configure the mainboardÕs hardware. After you install
the mainboard, you can set jumpers, install memory on the mainboard,
and make case connections. Refer to this chapter whenever you upgrade
or reconfigure your system.
CAUTION:Turn off power to the mainboard, system chassis, and
peripheral devices before performing any work on the
mainboard or system.
Jumpers
JP5: CMOS Clear Jumper
Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2Ð3; then
shorting pin 1Ð2 to retain new settings.
CMOS Setting JP5

J25: EMI Ground Pin
J25 is designed for eliminating the EMI signals. Short or open J25 when
is needed.

Hardware Setup 7
JP16: PCI Bus Asynchronous/Synchronous Jumper
Asynchronous and synchronous (default) PCI bus frequency settings are
available.
PCI Bus Setting JP16
Asychronous
1
Synchronous
1
Divides the host bus by 2 to get the Asynchronous setting, and sets the
PCI bus on 32MHz to get the synchronous setting. Set JP16 to
Synchronous mode when the system is unstable.
Host Bus
(CPU Bus) PCI Bus Frequency (Synchronous) PCI Bus Frequency (Asynchronous)
50 MHz* 25 MHz 32 MHz
55 MHz* 27.5 MHz 32 MHz
60 MHz 30 MHz 32 MHz
66 MHz 33.3 MHz 32 MHz
75 MHz** 37.5 MHz 32 MHz
*: Do not use Asynchronous setting when the host bus frequency is
50MHz or 55MHz.
**: Do not use Synchronous setting when the host bus frequency is 75
MHz.
