Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

Step 2 Configure CPU Speed

If you use two CPUs with different speed ratings, put the settings to the lower CPU speed.

CPU speed is controlled by the BIOS setup. See the description in the Chapter 2
AMIBIOS setup for more information.

Please contact American Megatrends technical support at 770-246-8600 to support a CPU
running at other speeds.

Caution

Both CPU slots must be fully populated at all times. If you
use only one CPU, install the termination card in the
second CPU location.

If the board is powered up with one empty CPU slot, the
CPU LED (located at D3 on board graphic on page 3) will
light up and the board will stay in RESET mode.
