CHAPTER 2 HARD WARE INST ALLA TION HARDW INSTALLA ALLATION Chapter 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION 2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard operates with Intel® CeleronTM processor. The mainboard uses Socket 370 for easy CPU installation and a jumper switch (SW1) to set the proper speed for the CPU. The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating. 2.1-1 CPU Installation Procedure 1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket.
CHAPTER 2 HARD WARE INST ALLA TION HARDW INSTALLA ALLATION 2.1-1 CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure 1. The DIP Switch SW1 (1, 2, 3, and 4) is used to set the Core/Bus (Fraction) ratio of the CPU. The actual core speed of the CPU is the Host Clock Frequency multiplied by the Core/Bus ratio. For example: If then CPU Clock Core/Bus ratio CPU core speed = 66MHz = 5.5 = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio = 66MHz x 5.5 = 333 MHz SW1 CPU 1 2 3 4 Core/Bus Ratio ON OFF ON ON 2.
CHAPTER 2 HARD WARE INST ALLA TION HARDW INSTALLA ALLATION 2.1-2 CPU Speed Setting: SW1 To adjust the speed of the CPU, you must know the specification of your CPU (always ask the vendor for CPU specification).
