Memory Sockets & Modules
There are four memory module sockets on the mainboard.
They use 72-pin SIMM memory modules. The sockets are paired
into two 'banks.' This means you must install two modules at a
time. This mainboard has a very flexible memory design that al-
lows the use of a variety of memory options up to a total of
256MB. There is more information about this in 'Adding System
Memory' section of Section 3: Reconfiguring Your Mainboard.
CPU Socket & CPU
The Socket 7 CPU socket supports the full range of Pentium
class CPUs including MMX Pentiums
socket is easy. The lever at the side of the socket latches the CPU
in place when it is down and releases it when raised.
If you want to install a CPU upgrade or are installing a CPU
on the board for the first time, please refer to 'Installing a CPU' in
Section 3: Reconfiguring Your Mainboard.
Port & Controller Connections
This mainboard has two external Serial ports, one Parallel port
and a PS/2-type keyboard and mouse port built onto the board.
There are also several connectors built onto the board. There are
connectors for four IDE devices in two 'channels' and for two
floppy disk drives. There are also some connectors on the board
for some system case features and a CPU cooling fan.
In addition, there is a connector for an optional external double
USB (Universal Serial Bus) port bracket that is an option for this
mainboard. If you have the version of this mainboard that has
the onboard video display card, there is also a connector for an
external VGA port bracket.
Details about these connectors are in Section 4: Reference In-
formation.
