Hardware Installation
3.5. DRAM INSTALLATION
The mainboard can be installed with 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 MB 168 pins
DIMM module DRAM, and the DRAM speed must be 67~100 MHz for
SDRAM when system bus speed is set to 66MHz. When system bus speed
is set to 100MHz, 100MHz SDRAM is required. The DRAM memory system
on mainboard consists of bank 0, 1 & bank 2.
Since 168 pins DIMM module is 64 bits width, using 1 PCS which can match
a 64 bits system. The total memory size is 16MB ~ 768MB / 256MB SDRAM.
The DRAM installation position refer to Figure 3.1, and notice the Pin 1 of
DIMM module must match with the Pin 1 of DIMM socket. Insert the DRAM
DIMM module into the DIMM socket at Vertical angle. If there is a wrong
direction of Pin 1, the DRAM DIMM module couldn't be inserted into socket
completely.
3.6. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM
The mainboard contains RTC & CMOS SRAM on board. They have a power
supply from external battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC
is a REAL-TIME CLOCK device, which provides the DATE & TIME to
system. The CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of system
configuration, so the system can automatically boot OS every time. Since
the lifetime of internal battery is 5 years, the user can change a new Battery
to replace old one when it has consumed.
MDanger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
MReplace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.
MDispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer' s instructions.
3.7. VGA Monitor INSTALLATION
ATi RAGE PRO 3D graphics AGP accelerations was built-in the main board.
It will auto detect whether the PnP monitor is installed or not. When plug-in
the monitor, the Win95 will auto detect it and auto set the necessary settings
in the system.
3.8. HARDWARE RESET SWITCH CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
The RESET switch on panel provides users with HARDWARE RESET
function. The system will do a cold start after the RESET switch is press and
