H/W SETUP Motherboard Settings MEW-L LAN Setting 5) Onboard LAN Power Setting (LAN_PWR) available on LAN model only The onboard LAN power may be set to normal or standby power. Select Normal if you do not have a power supply with 720mA standby power.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 6) Safe Mode Setting (SAFE_MD) Usually socket 370 processors have locked frequency multiples. In this case, there is no way to exceed the specified multiple whether through motherboard settings or BIOS setup. With unlocked socket 370 processors, exceeding the specified multiple is possible through BIOS setup. Exceeding the specified multiple may result in hanging during bootup. If this occurs, enable Safe Mode to force a multiple of 2 in order to enter BIOS setup to correct the problem.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 8) CPU External Frequency Setting (DSW) This option tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU, DRAM, and the PCI bus. This allows the selection of the CPU’s External frequency. The CPU External Frequency multiplied by the Frequency Multiple equals the CPU’s Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed). NOTE: You may set the memory speed independently from the CPU External Frequency.
3. HARDWARE SETUP External Frequency Table for Intel Celeron (PPGA) Processors The following table is for use by experienced motherboard installers only. Overclocking can result in system instability or even shortening the life of the processor. Bold settings are also shown on the previous page.
