Installing a Cache Module
In addition to the 16K of internal (L1) cache built into the Pentium proces-
sors, the M54Hi-Plus also supports external (L2) cache. The M54Hi-Plus
supports pipelined burst cache and asynchronous cache (256K or 512K).
To install a cache module, follow these instructions:
1.
Turn off the computer and remove the chassis cover.
2.
Discharge any static electricity as described on page 2-1.
3.
Carefully remove the cache module from its protective packaging and
inspect it for any visible damage.
4.
Locate the cache module socket (Figure 2-1) and remove any currently
installed cache modules.
5.
Place the cache module in the cache module socket (fits in one way) and
press straight down until it is firmly seated in the socket (Figure 3-2).

6.
There is no need to set any jumpers. When you reboot, the size and type
of cache is automatically detected.
7.
Replace the chassis cover. The cache upgrade is complete.
