Page 4: Motherboard Jumper Settings
Motherboard jumper settings There are only a few jumpers on the motherboard that you may need to alter. All others are set at the factory and should not be changed. On the motherboard, pin 1 of each jumper block is indicated by a small triangular marking. - Page 5 P C L 5 1 0 0 f e a t u r e s a n d u p g r a d e s Processor Speed Pentium 90 MHz Pentium 100 MHz Pentium 120 MHz Pentium 133 MHz Pentium 150 MHz Pentium...

CMOS is cleared by moving the PL11 jumper to the 2-3 position for a few moments while the system is turned off, then returning it to the normal 1-2 position.

Page 8: Adding More Memory
Adding more memory You can give your PC more memory by adding or replacing memory modules called “DIMMs”. The motherboard’s two DIMM sockets accept DIMMs of up to 128 Mbytes in any combination (giving a maximum memory capacity of 256 Mbytes). IMPORTANT The DIMMs you use must have the following specification: gold contacts, 3.3V, 64-bit, unbuffered, either SDRAM-type with Serial... - Page 9 P C L 5 1 0 0 f e a t u r e s a n d u p g r a d e s Pushing gently on its top corners, press the DIMM into the socket and make sure the two end clips snap into place. Do not use excessive force.

Page 10: Adding More Video Memory
Adding more video memory Video memory is memory reserved for use by the on-board video controller. More video memory can provide more colours or higher resolutions to an extent determined by the capabilities of your monitor. If your computer has 1 Mbyte of video memory, you can upgrade it to the maximum of 2 Mbytes. -

Page 16: Bios Setup & Post
BIOS SETUP & POST BIOS (pronounced “bye-oss”) stands for ‘basic input/output system’. The BIOS mediates between the computer’s hardware – the processor, memory, and so on – and its software – the operating system and your programs. The BIOS program is kept in permanent, read-only memory or ROM (although if necessary it can be upgraded by an authorised maintainer). -

Page 22: Terminal Post Errors And Beep Codes
Terminal POST errors and beep codes There are several POST routines that shut down the computer if they fail. If possible, the BIOS displays a two-digit hexadecimal code and/or sounds a sequence of beeps to identify the point at which POST failed. The most usual errors are listed below. The BIOS also issues one long tone followed by two short tones if the video system is faulty or if an external ROM module (including video ROM) fails. - Page 23 http://www.mitsubishi-computers.com MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC PC DIVISION Apricot Computers Limited 3500 Parkside Birmingham Business Park Birmingham B37 7YS United Kingdom Tel +44 (0) 121 717 7171 Fax +44 (0) 121 717 7799 MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC PC DIVISION Apricot Computers Limited Niederlassung Deutschland Gothaer Strasse 27 40880 Ratingen Germany Tel +49 (0) 2102 4556...
