This page contains a summary of the important notes that must be
given special attention to prior to using the system board.
GPA
The system board supports 4MB display cache. To use this function,
you must install a 4MB GPA (Graphics Performance Accelerator)
card into the AGP slot. The GPA card is optional.
Processor
• The frequency ratio of some processors may have been locked
by the manufacturer. If you are using this kind of processor,
setting an extended ratio for the processor will have no effect.
The system will instead use its factory default ratio.
• The frequency ratio of processors greater than 8x has been
locked by the manufacturer and will no longer have the flexibility
of using extended ratios. Therefore, the system will use the
processor’s factory default ratio.
• Selecting an external bus clock other than 66MHz, 100MHz or
133MHz may result to the processor’s or system’s instability and
are not guaranteed to provide better system performance.
System Memory
• DIMMs 1 and 2 both support single-sided and double-sided
DIMMs.
• DIMM 3 supports single-sided and double-sided DIMMs but
double-sided is supported only if DIMM 4 is empty.
• DIMM 4 only supports single-sided DIMM and can be used only
if DIMM 3 is installed with single-sided DIMM too.
5VSB Power
• If you are using the (1) Wake-On-KB/Mouse, (2) Wake-On-LAN
and/or (3) Wake-On-Ring (internal modem) functions, the 5VSB
power source of your power supply must support
≥
720mA.
• If you are using the Suspend to RAM function, the 5VSB power
source of your power supply must support
≥
1A.
• If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard function, the 5VSB
power source of your power supply must support
≥
1.5A.
Drivers
Make sure to reboot the system after each driver installation.
Problems will occur if you reboot only after installing all the drivers.
