I/O Ports

The illustration below shows a side view of the built-in I/O ports
on the mainboard.

Install A CPU

This mainboard has a Socket-7 which may be installed with any of
the socket-7 processors including the Intel P55C (MMX) series,
the Cyrix/IBM 6x86L/6x86MX/MII series, the AMD K6/K6-2/K-
III series, the IDT C6/Winchip 2/2A series. The mainboard
supports system bus speeds of 60, 66, 75, 83, 90, 95, 100 MHz.
Do not try to install a Socket-370 processor in the Socket-7. A
Socket-370 processor such as the PPGA Celeron or FCPGA
Pentium III does not fit in the Socket-7.
The board supports CPU plug and play, so the system can
automatically run the installed processor with the correct clock
speed and the correct system bus frequency. To automatically
configure the processor, use the BIOS setup program to select the
clock speed and system bus frequency. See chapter three for more
information.
To ensure reliability, make sure that your socket-7 processor is
fitted with a heatsink/cooling fan assembly.
