2.3.3 Setting the CPU Frequency
Everytime you replace or install a new processor, make sure to set
its CPU frequency in the CPU Frequency field of the CPU/Chipset
Setup. If you fail to do so, the message CPU not setup yet will
appear.
If the frequency set in the CPU Frequency field is incorrect, the
following circumstances may occur:
1. The warning message CPU frequency doesnt match SETUP
value will appear. Reset the frequency in the CPU Frequency
field for the system to work properly.
2. The system will not boot. Follow the steps in section 2.5 (Jumper
Settings for Ratio) to boot-up the system with the correct
settings.
The BIOS also allows you to manually set the Front Side Bus
frequency and core ratio of the processor in the CPU/Chipset Setup.
However, if these settings are incorrect, your system will not boot.
Please follow the steps below to boot-up the system.
1. Power-off the system.
2. Now power-on the system and press the <Ins> key at the
same time. This should allow you to boot-up the system. If it fails
to boot-up, please follow steps 1 to 9 in section 2.5 (Jumper
Settings for Ratio) of this chapter.
For more information on setting the processor, please refer to the
CPU/Chipset Setup section in Chapter 3 of this manual.
