Chapter 2 Installing the
Mainboard
This mainboard series 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.

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.
