Hardware Setup Memory Configuration The mainboard supports two banks of 72-pin SIMM, EDO DRAM, and two strips of 3.3V Unbuffered DIMM. The mainboard requires SIMM of at least 70ns access time. The mainboard supports from 4 to 128 Mbytes with no other restrictions on memory configurations.
Hardware Setup Multi I/O Port Addresses Default settings for multi-I/O port addresses are shown in the table below. Port I/O Address Status LPT1* 378H ECP + EPP COM1 3F8H COM2 2F8H * If default I/O port addresses conflict with other I/O cards (e.g. sound cards or I/O cards), you must adjust one of the I/O addresses to avoid address conflict.
Hardware Setup IDE1/IDE2 – On-board Primary/Secondary IDE HDD Connectors Attach cables of hard disk drives to these connectors. J6 – IR Connector Attach a 5-pin infrared device cable to this connector for enabling the infrared transfer function. This mainboard meets the specification of ASKIAR and HPSIR.
Hardware Setup J23: Sleep Switch Connector Enable/Disable Toggle this jumper to force the system into power saving (Green) mode. Any hardware IRQ signal makes the system wakeup. J22 – Turbo LED Connector Attach the turbo LED to J22. The LED lights when the system is in Turbo mode.
