2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices
Static electrical discharges can damage electronic components. To
prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it
very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to
protect your equipment from static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before you remove the board
from the antistatic bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its compo-
nents, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the system board and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, be sure your computer system’s
chassis allows for excellent conductive contact between its
power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the system
board.
Unpacking
The system board is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static
damage. When unpacking the board, be sure the person handling
the board is static-protected.
2-3 Changing the CPU Speed
To change the CPU speed for a Pentium II processor, change the
jumpers as shown in Table 2-1. Refer to Table 2-2 for the external
bus speed jumper settings. The default bus speed is set to "Auto".
The following example will show you which CPU Core/Bus Ratio to
use. The general rule is to divide the CPU speed by the bus speed
(66 or 100 MHz). For example, if you have a 266 MHz CPU, dividing
