Introduction Unpacking the Mainboard The mainboard package contains: The SiS 551X / P54C Mainboard This User's Guide Note: Do not unpack the mainboard until you are ready to install it. Follow the precautions below while unpacking the mainboard, Before handling the mainboard, ground yourself by grasping an unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis.
Hardware Setup This chapter explains how to configure the mainboard 's ’s hardware. After you install the mainboard, you can set jumpers, install memory on the mainboard, and make case connections. Refer to this chapter whenever you upgrade or reconfigure your system.
Hardware Setup JP34: 11 Write-Back /Write-Through Cache Select Set JP34 to configure the mainboard for L1 Write-Back/Write-Through Cache. JP34 11 Cache Write Back Cache (default) Write Through Cache JP46: VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) Socket (Optional) VRM socket is dedicated for 2.5V CPU to use. It converts 3.3V to 2.5V for the advance high speed P54CX.
Hardware Setup JP38, JP42: Bus Fraction Core/Bus Ratio Select Set this jumper according to your CPU clock and this setting is only for Pentium. Note: For PentiumX /Y MHz, X stands for CPU core clock, Y stands for bus clock.
Hardware Setup JP40: CPU Burst Mode Select Set JP40 to select the two different kinds of burst mode which is decided by the type of CPU that you use. JP40 Burst Mode Interleave burst for INTEL (default) Linear burst for Cyrix CPU Type Configuration Set the mainboard' s s CPU jumpers JP23 and JP24 according to CPU type as described below, and then set JP43~JP45 for the proper voltage of the CPU.
Hardware Setup Cyrix 6x66- P200+ CPU Settings (RED Caps) (3.0x clock) 6x66 - P200+/50 MHz CX6X86 Family Figure 2-1-6. CPU Jumper Settings JP43~JP45: CPU Voltage Select Set JP43~JP45 to configure the Proper voltage for the installed CPU. CPU Type Voltage JP43~JP45 JP43 Standard and VR P54CX CPU (33V + 5%)
Hardware Setup Memory Configuration The mainboard supports two banks of 72-pin SIMM or FDO DRAM (with or without parity). The mainboard requires SIMM of at least 80ns access time. The mainboard supports from 2 to 512 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. status Port* I/O Address LPT1 378H ECP/EPP 3F8H COM1 2F8H COM2 If default 1/0 port addresses conflict with other 1/0 cards (e.g. sound cards or 1/0 cards), you must adjust one of the 1/0 addresses to avoid address conflict.
Hardware Setup J17 - Keylock & Power LED Connector J17 is a connector for a lock that may “b e installed on the system case for enabling or disabling the keyboard. J17 also attaches to the case ’s Power LED. J18 - Speaker Connector Attach the system speaker to connector J18 JI 9- Hardware Reset Control’...
