INSTALLATION
3.
Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM
(RTCLR)
The CMOS RAM is powered by the onboard button cell battery.
To clear the
RTC data: (1) Turn off your computer, (2) Move this jumper to “Clear Data,”
(3) Move the jumper back to “Operation,” (4) Turn on your computer, (5) Hold
down <Delete> during bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
Battery Test Jumper (RTCLR)
You can test the battery’s current by removing this jumper and attaching a cur-
rent meter to pins 2&3.
WARNING!
You must unplug the power cord to your power supply to ensure
that there is no power to your motherboard.
The CMOS RAM containing BIOS
setup information may be cleared by this action.
You should enter BIOS to
“Load Setup Defaults” and re-enter any user information after removing and
reapplying this jumper.

4.
CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection
(FS0, FS1, FS2)
These jumpers tell the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU.
These
allow the selection of the CPU’s
External
frequency (or
BUS Clock
).
The BUS Clock
times the BUS Ratio equals the CPU's
Internal
frequency (the advertised CPU speed).
5.
CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio
(BF0, BF1, BF2)
These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the
Internal
frequency of the CPU
and the
External
frequency (called the
BUS Clock
) within the CPU.
These must
be set together with the above jumpers
CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection.
WARNING!
Frequencies above 66MHz exceed the specifications for the
onboard Intel Chipset and are not guaranteed to be stable.
