Operating Frequency Setting [User Define]
When the motherboard is set to JumperFree™ mode, this field allows you
to configure the external frequency of your CPU. Select [User Define] if
you want to make changes to the
CPU Clock Multiplier
or the
CPU Fre-
quency
field. When [Standard] is selected, the
Clock Mutliplier
will be
fixed and the
CPU
(external)
Frequency
will be fixed at 100MHz. Con-
figuration options: [Standard] [User Define]
CPU Clock Multiplier
(if Operating Frequency Setting
is set to [User Define])
This feature signals the CPU and North Bridge to initialize the
power sequence.
Select the desired
multiplier appropriate for
your system.
CPU Frequency
(if Operating Frequency
Setting is set to [User Define])
This feature tells the clock generator which frequency
to send to the system bus and PCI bus.
Select the
desired frequency appropriate for your system.
NOTE: The bus frequency (external frequency) multiplied by
the bus clock multiple equals the CPU speed (the CPU’s inter-
nal frequency). Selecting a frequency higher than what the CPU
manufacturer recommends may cause the system to hang or
crash. See
System Hangup
later in this section.
