correctly.

Check the Jumper Settings

Use the mainboard selection jumpers to configure your board for the correct clock
speed, voltage, and bus timing according to the CPU that you have installed. Set other
selection jumpers to the correct settings.

CPU Setting

To install a CPU on this mainboard you need to set up the board for a specific CPU by
doing the following:
q Set the External Clock Speed
q Set the Clock Multiplier Factor
q
Set the CPU Voltage
You configure the CPU settings using the jumpers on the mainboard. In order to do
this, you will need to know some information about the CPU you plan to use. This
should be provided by the CPU vendor. You'll need the following information:
q
CPU Internal Clock Speed
q CPU Voltage
The internal clock speed is the speed the CPU operates at to process data and is the
one used by CPU manufacturers to indicate the speed of the chip. The CPU also has an
external clock speed which is the speed at which it interacts with the external
components.
CPU voltage may either be the same internally and externally or it may be split,
depending on the CPU design. Some processors use one voltage for the core (Vcore)
and another for input/output (Vio).
To configure the board for a CPU's internal clock speed, you need to set the external
clock speed, sometimes referred to as the bus speed, and the clock multiplier, so that
the result is the internal clock speed of the CPU you are installing.
For example, the default setting for these is:
33 MHz (External Clock) x 6 (Clock Multiplier) = 200MHz
or an effective setting of 200MHz
Check the table below to find the default settings for the CPU's used by this
motherboard.
