Page 5: Introduction
In version 2.0 of the PL-K6-III, we reduced the size of the adapter for easier installation on a greater number of motherboards. If your motherboard has capacitors or other components right next to the CPU socket, this new version will allow installation of the PowerLeap adapter without adding a PGA socket extender (riser). -

Page 9: Getting Started With The Powerleap™ Pl-K6-Iii
This chapter describes how to choose the correct clock multiplier and core voltage setting for your new AMD K6-III CPU. It also provides a detailed listing of DIP switch settings for the PowerLeap PL-K6-III. Quick Start: AMD CPU Settings This section shows how to use the SW1 DIP switch to choose the correct clock multiplier and core voltage setting for your new AMD K6-III processor. -
Page 10: Sw1 Settings: Clock Multiplier, Cpu Voltage, System Compatibility, And Cpu Overheating Protection
SW1: Pins 1, 2, & 3 (Clock Multiplier) The default clock multiplier setting for the PL-K6-III is 6x. (For a description of calculating the bus clock speed, clock multiplier, and CPU speed for a variety of CPUs, refer to “Technical Reference” later in this document.) Pins 1, 2, &... -
Page 11: Sw1: Pins 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 (Core Voltage)
To reduce power consumption, dual-voltage CPUs use two separate supply voltages: an I/O interface voltage and a lower core voltage for the processor. The default core voltage for the PL-K6-III is 2.4V (for the AMD K6-III CPU). Pins 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8: Core Voltage for AMD K6-III Core Voltage 2.4V... -
Page 12: Sw1: Pin 10 (Cpu Overheating Protection)
Biostar motherboards need to detect the signal in order to boot. If your HP Vectra or Biostar system does not run properly with the PL-K6-III installed, try using pin 9 of the SW1 DIP switch to turn the AL-1 pin signal on/off. -
