7. Install DIMM Modules
6. JP23 FSB/PCI Clock Ratio
8. Connecting IDE and Floppy Cable
9. Connecting Front Panel Cable
The JP23 is used to specify the relationship of PCI
and FSB clock. Generally speaking, if you are not
overclockers, we recommend set the jumper at the
default setting.

Tip:
The driving capability of new
generation chipset is limited due to the
lack of a memory buffer (to improve
performance). This makes DRAM chip
count an important factor to take into
consideration when you install DIMMs.
Unfortunately, there is no way that the
BIOS can identify the correct chip
count, you need to calculate the chip
count by yourself. The simple rule is:
By visual inspection, use only
DIMMs which are less than 16
chips

Pin 1
This motherboard has three 168-pin DIMM sockets that allow you to install PC100 or
PC133 memory up to 1.5GB. Only SDRAM is supported.

. Pin1 of cable is normally marked with red color. Be
careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may cause system damage.
Attach the power LED, keylock, speaker, and
reset switch connectors to the corresponding
pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in
BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep
flashing while the system is in suspend mode.
Locate the power switch cable from your ATX
housing. It is 2-pin female connector from the
housing front panel. Plug this connector to the
soft-power switch connector marked
