Chapter 2 Installation Procedures The PAK-2102 has several user-adjustable jumpers on the board that allow you to configure your system to suit your requirements. This chapter contains information on the various jumper settings on your mainboard. To set up your computer, you should follow these installation steps: ...
Installation Procedures 1). Set System Jumpers Jumpers Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Some jumpers on the board have three metal pins with each pin representing a different function. To set a jumper, a black cap containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pins according to the required configuration.
PAK-2102 Mainboard Manual Clear Password: CPW This jumper allows you to set the password configuration to Enabled or Disabled. You may need to enable this jumper if you forget your password. Flash EPROM Type Selection: EP1, EP2 This jumper allows you to configure the Flash EPROM chip.
72-pin Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs). The PAK-2102 is able to support standard FPM (Fast Page Mode) and EDO (Extended Data Out) DRAM; and can accommodate onboard memory from 8 to 512MB using SIMMs. The mainboard has three memory banks: Bank 0, Bank 1, and Bank 2.
PAK-2102 Mainboard Manual Install SIMMs Complete the following procedures to install SIMMs: CAUTION : Always turn the system power off before installing or removing any device. Always observe static electricity precautions. See “Handling Precautions” at the start of this manual.
Installation Procedures 2. Carefully fit a SIMM at a 45 degree angle into each empty socket to be populated. All the SIMMs must face the same direction. 3. Swing each SIMM into its upright, locked position. When locking a SIMM in place, push on each end of the SIMM - do not push in the middle, as shown above.
SRAMs. The PAK-2102 comes with onboard 256KB/512KB synchronous 3V Pipeline Burst SRAMs or a 256KB/512KB cache RAM module (FIC’s PC512K-3.0 is recommended) that can be installed on the cache RAM module slot. NOTE : Use the correct chips for the amount of cache memory you want to...

Installation Procedures CAUTION : Always turn the system power off before installing or removing any device. Always observe static electricity precautions. See “Handling Precautions” at the start of this manual. Inserting the CPU chip incorrectly may damage the chip. To install the CPU, do the following: 1.
PAK-2102 Mainboard Manual CPU External Clock (BUS) Frequency: CLK1, CLK2 The table below shows the jumper settings for the different CPU speed configurations. CPU to Bus Frequency Ratio: FREQ1, FREQ2 These two jumpers are used in combination to decide the ratio of the internal...
Installation Procedures AMD-K5 CPUs Frequency NOTE : * This CPU had not been tested when this manual was printed. ** For AMD CPUs only, jumper FREQ1/FREQ2 can be set for 1.75x bus ratratio.
Installation Procedures Cyrix 6x86 CPUs Frequency NOTE : * This CPU had not been tested when this manual was printed. ** For Cyrix/IBM CPUs only, FREQ1/2 can be set for 3.5x bus ratio.
Installation Procedures IBM 6x86 CPUs Frequency NOTE : * This CPU had not been tested when this manual was printed. ** For Cyrix/IBM CPUs only, FREQ1/2 can be set for 3.5x bus ratio.
Installation Procedures Installation of Cyrix (or IBM) 6x86 CPU Fan CAUTION : When you install a Cyrix (or IBM) 6x86 CPU fan, please pay attention to the direction of the air flow. Make sure that it lowers the temperature of the regulator. Otherwise, the system may overheat. We recommend that you use one of the following two CPU fans for the Cyrix (or IBM) 6x86 CPU when you install the fan on the mainboard.
PAK-2102 Mainboard Manual 4). Install Expansion Cards Add-on cards are printed circuit boards that, when connected to the mainboard, increase the capabilities of your system. For example, add-on cards can provide video and sound capabilities. CAUTION : Always turn the system power off before installing or removing any device.
Installation Procedures 5). Connect Cables and Power Supply Audio-In Connector: CD-IN This 4-pin male connector is linked to the AUDIO-OUT port of your CD-ROM device via a ribbon cable.
