It could operate with 2.1V to 3.5V processors. The mainboard provides a 321-pin ZIF Socket 7 for easy CPU installation, a DIP switch (S1) to set the proper speed for the CPU and for setting the CPU voltage. The CPU should always have a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating. 2.1-1 CPU Installation Procedures 1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket.
