Removing the CPU The SBC-659P all-in-one CPU module supports most Pentium III/ Celeron CPUs. The system's performance depends on the CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below.
Installing A CPU To install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing a CPU are outlined below: 1. Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices. This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces the chance of damaging the pins and other components.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representa- tive before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a jumper to make most connections. SBC-659P Installation Guide Closed Closed 2-3 Closed...

Starting setup The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST). When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating system on one of the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.).
