3-1.) DRAM INSTALLATION The PT-5IT system board will support two banks main memory (bank0 and bank 1) on board, (using four 72-Pin SIMM socket, SIMM 1 - 4 and two 168-pin DIMM socket, DIMM 1 - 2) each bank could be single-sided or double-sided, 8MB up to 256 MB of local memory can be attained.
Note : We strong recommend, Don't install 5V SIMM module and 3.3V DIMM modules at the same time. L2 CACHE MEMORY INSTALLATION The PT-5IT system board will support 256KB or 512KB cache memory on board, using synchronous pipeline-burst SRAMs. Both Write Back and Write Through cache update policy are supported.
PT-5IT HARDWARE SETUP SYSTEM BOARD CONNECTORS A connector is two or more pins that are used make connections to the system standard accessories (such as power, mouse, printer,...etc.) The following is a list of connectors on board, as well as descriptions of each individual connector.

AWARD BIOS SETUP GETTING STARTED When the system is first powered on or reset, the BIOS will enter the Power-On Self Test routines ( POST : Display a copyright message on the screen followed by a diagnostics and initialization procedure.) (If an EGA or VGA card is installed, the copyright message of the video card maybe displayed on the screen first.) The BIOS will indicate any error or malfunction by a series of beeps or display the error message on screen.
