jumpers, the settings for the CPU frequency are set through the BIOS

Setup which allows you to use any type of CPU from the Pentium II

familyÕs 233 ~ 550 range.

In order to change the CPU type, you need to enter the BIOS by pressing

the <Delete> key during boot-up and then select the ÒChipset Features

SetupÓ menu. There is an item called ÒCPU SpeedÓ under this setup

section and it allows you to set the frequency according to the speed of

the Pentium II CPU that you have, which should be clearly indicated on

the outer cover. The choices of settings are 133, 233, 266, 300, 333, 350,

400, 450, 500, and 550 MHz. Notice that the fastest CPU available was

400MHz at the time of this board was released, therefore we can

guarantee proper functioning only up to 400 MHz. The 133 and 200

MHz settings are used as default and as a ÒsafeÓ frequency, which means

that the board can be boot-up at any time even if the BIOS settings are

erased or reset, there is however no Pentium II CPU of those frequencies.

The 133MHz value is used for CPUs with a 66MHz Bus Clock, and the

200 MHz value is used for CPUs with a 100MHz Bus Clock. The BIOS

will automatically detect the Bus Clock of your CPU.

If the frequency is set too high, the CPU will not be able to function

properly and the board will not boot up. By pressing the <Insert> key a

few times while turning on the computer, the frequency will be set back

to the default value and you will be able to enter the BIOS Setup to

correct the CPU frequency value.
