  • Page 21: Setting Jumpers

    Setting jumpers You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To close a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.

  • Page 22: Safety Precautions

    Installing the CPU The SBC-556/L CPU card supports most Pentiums and their compatible CPUs. The system's performance depends on the CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below.

  • Page 23: Installing A Cpu

    Installing a CPU To install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing a CPU are outlined below: 1. Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices. This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces the chance of damaging the pins and other components.
