Battery

Use a 3 volt lithium battery. Remove the jumpers on pins 3-4 of the J30 (Jbte) battery connector. The battery will connect to pins 1 and 4 (pin 1= +3 volts, pin 4= ground)

Cache Upgrade

The Cache and TAG RAM are either 28-pin for 128KB of cache, or 32-pin for 512KB of cache.

  • The motherboard DOES NOT support any 3.3 Volt CPU’s, regardless of motherboard revision.
  • The upgrade processor installs in the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U50.
  • Jumper J29 is not available on all systems.
  • If you wish to upgrade the processor with an Intel P24T (Pentium Overdrive), the Interposer is required. An Interposer can be obtained from Intel or from the dealer. Please note that the Interposer will disable the 2nd level cache.
  • For the P24T-83, you may also need to update the BIOS to version 1.1a. The current BIOS version appears on the display immediately after starting up.

Memory Upgrades

  • This motherboard does not accept EDO memory.
  • SIMM speed must be 70 or 80ns. 60ns SIMMS will only work if the on-board memory is disabled.
  • The SIMMS are 72-pin, non-parity (32 bit) because the motherboard design does not require parity checking. The parity jumper does not have to be changed.
  • Use silver plated SIMMS.
  • The board comes with 4MB soldered onto the motherboard (SMT), and will take 4/8/16/32 MB SIMMs up to a maximum of 64MB.
  • When two 32 MB SIMMS are installed, the SMT memory needs to be disabled. This is done by jumping J37 (On Board Memory Disable).

Speaker

Use an 8 ohm, .5 watt computer speaker. Remove the jumper on pins 3-4 of the J36 (Jspk) connector. The Speaker will connect to pins 1 and 4. (pin 1= =5 volts, pin 4=speaker ground).

Video Memory Upgrade

  • You can upgrade the video memory on your system from 1MB to 2MB by using 256Kx16 (Symmetrical, CAS line) DRAM ZIP’s.
  • You will need two of these to perform the upgrade.
