Chapter 2 Installing the Mainboard
This AR5 mainboard not only provides all standard equipment for classic
personal computers, but also provides great flexibility for meeting future upgrade
demands. This chapter will introduce step by step all the standard equipment
and will also present, as completely as possible future upgrade capabilities. This
mainboard is able to support all Intel Pentium including P55C with MMX, Cyrix
6x86, 6x86L and AMD-K5 processors now on the market. (For details, see
specifications in Chapter 1.) However, we cannot guarantee that the
description given in this manual on the circuitry of your mainboard will work for
processors not listed in Chapter 1. For example, the operating voltage of
Cyrix
’
s next generation CPUs is unknown at the present time. Thus we were
not able to include these specifications in your motherboard. We will supply
further information about CPU support when new CPUs arrive on the market.
This chapter is organized according the following features:

Before proceeding with the installation
Before installing the mainboard please be sure to turn off or disconnect the
power supply unit. Before making any modifications to the hardware
configuration of the mainboard, the power supply to any areas of the mainboard
you plan to modify should be turned off to avoid unnecessary damage to the
hardware.
