J57 Select 5V CPU

J57 is a three by two dual-inline berg. Short the following pins together: 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 when a 5 volt
CPU is installed on the motherboard. See the graphic on page 32 for the J57 location. The J57 and J56 pin
numbering is shown in the following graphic:

Warning

Short the Pins on either J57 or J56.

NEVER

SHORT PINS ON BOTH J57 AND J56.

Short J57 pins for 5V CPUs.

Short J56 for 3.3V CPUs.
