III. INSTALLATION Installation Steps Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Set Jumpers on the Motherboard Install DRAM and SRAM Modules Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Install Expansion Cards Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power Supply Setup the BIOS Software 1. Jumpers III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper pins (JP) on the motherboard.
III. INSTALLATION Jumper Settings 1. Onboard Multi-I/O Selection (JP1) You can selectively disable each onboard Multi-I/O item (floppy, serial, parallel, and IrDA) through BIOS (see CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP) or disable all Multi-I/O items at once with the following jumper in order to use your own Multi-I/O card. JP1 [1-2] (Default) [2-3] JP1 1 2 3 JP1 1 2 3 Enable (Default) Disabled III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) Selections Enable Disable Multi I/O Setting (Enable / Disable) 2.
III. INSTALLATION 3. Total Level 2 Cache Size Setting (JP5) This jumper sets the total amount of L2 cache that is present. If you have both onboard cache chips (see "Map of Motherboard" for locations) and a Cache Expansion Slot, then you have 256KB. If you only have onboard cache chips, then you have 512KB. An "ASUS" or "COAST" cache module can be used to upgrade the 256KB version to 512KB. If there is no onboard cache, you may install a cache module of either 256KB or 512KB.
III. INSTALLATION 5-6. Single/Dual Power Plane CPU Voltage Regulator Selections The following jumpers set the voltage supplied to the CPU. Determine whether your CPU has a Single Power Plane or Dual Power Planes and then the voltage that it uses. When a single power plane CPU is installed, the dual power plane selections will be automatically disabled. When a dual power plane CPU is installed, the single power plane selections will be automatically disabled.
III. INSTALLATION 7. CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (JP8, JP9, JP10) 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). 8. CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (JP11, JP12) These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the CPU and the External frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU.
III. INSTALLATION Compatible Cyrix CPU Identification The only Cyrix CPU that is supported on this motherboard is labeled Cyrix 6x86-PR166+ but must be Revision 2.7 or later. Look on the underside of the CPU for the serial number. The number should read G8DC6620A or later. III. INSTALLATION (Jumpers) 9. Memory Cacheable Size (JP4) The default of 64MB uses only the onboard TAG SRAM which allows cacheable memory up to 64MB.
III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (DRAM & SRAM) This motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMMs of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (Asymmetric or Symmetric) or EDO. To support ECC, you must use true (opposed to phantom parity generated by logic chips) 36-bit parity-type DRAM (e.g. 8 chips + 4 parity chips) in pairs for all modules. Mixing 32-bit non-parity DRAM (e.g. 8 chips) and 36-bit DRAM (e.g.
III. INSTALLATION DRAM Memory Installation Procedures: 1. The SIMM memory modules will only fit in one orientation as shown because of a "Plastic Safety Tab" on one end of the SIMM sockets which requires the "Notched End" of the SIMM memory modules.

Press the memory module firmly into place starting from a 45 degree angle making sure that all the contacts are aligned with the socket. 3.
III. INSTALLATION Static RAM (SRAM) for Level 2 (External) Cache The motherboard you purchase may have either 0KB, 256KB, or 512KB onboard. If you have both onboard cache chips (see "Map of Motherboard" for locations) and a Cache Expansion Slot, then you have 256KB. If you only have onboard cache chips, then you have 512KB. An "ASUS" or "COAST" cache module can be used to upgrade the 256KB version to 512KB. The 512KB version cannot be upgraded any further.
III. INSTALLATION 3. Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard provides a 321-pin ZIF Socket 7 that is backwards compatible with ZIF Socket 5 processors. The CPU that came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. Apply thermal jelly to the CPU top and then install the fan onto the CPU. WARNING: Without a fan, the CPU can overheat and cause damage to both the CPU and the motherboard.
III. INSTALLATION 4. Expansion Cards WARNING: Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. First read your expansion card documentation on any hardware and software settings that may be required to setup your specific card. NOTE: PCI Slot 4 has a MediaBus extension 2.
III. INSTALLATION Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may need to use IRQs. System IRQs are available to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first, and any remaining IRQs are then used by PCI cards. Currently, there are two types of ISA cards. The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as “Legacy” ISA cards, requires that you configure the card’s jumpers manually and then install it in any available slot on the ISA bus. You may use Microsoft's Diagnostic (MSD.
III. INSTALLATION ASUS MediaBus Card MediaBus allows a cost-efficient solution to a complete multimedia system. The advantages of using one add-on card is to reduce the slot requirements and compatibility problems in order to maximize the Plug and Play advantages. The add-on card inserts into the shared PCI 4 / MediaBus 2.0 Slot. NOTE: This motherboard uses MediaBus Rev. 2.0. The previous MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus Rev. 1.2 will not fit into the MediaBus Rev 2.0 that is on this motherboard. III.
III. INSTALLATION 5. External Connectors WARNING: Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are clearly separated from jumpers in "Map of the Motherboard" on page 4. Placing jumper caps over these will cause damage to your motherboard. IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the connectors are labeled on the motherboard. Pin 1 is the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and floppy drives.
III. INSTALLATION 3. Parallel Printer Connector (26 Pin Block) Connection for the included parallel port ribbon cable with mounting bracket. Connect the ribbon cable to this connection and mount the bracket to the case on an open slot. It will then be available for a parallel printer cable.

VI. ASUS PCI SCSI Cards VI. ASUS SCSI Cards (SCSI BIOS) Symbios SCSI BIOS and Drivers Aside from the system BIOS, the Flash memory chip on the motherboard also contains the Symbios SCSI BIOS. This Symbios SCSI BIOS works in conjunction with the optional ASUS PCI-SC200 controller card to provide Fast SCSI-2 interface when using compatible SCSI devices or the ASUS PCI-SC860 SCSI controller cards to provide Ultra-Fast SCSI-2 interface when using Ultra-Fast SCSI-2 devices.
VI. ASUS PCI SCSI Cards VI. ASUS SCSI Cards (Setup) Setting Up the ASUS PCI-SC200 & PCI-SC860 There are two jumper settings you may need to make on the ASUS PCI-SC200 to set it up. One setting assigns the PCI INT interrupt, the other sets the card’s termination. The ASUS PCI-SC860 has no jumper settings but you should read the “Terminator Requirements.” Setting the INT Assignment for the ASUS PCI-SC200 You must use PCI INT A setting in order to properly assign the ASUS PCI-SC200's interrupt.
VI. ASUS PCI SCSI Cards VI. ASUS SCSI Cards (Jumpers) Terminator Settings for the ASUS PCI-SC860 Many SCSI devices including the ASUS PCI-SC860 use a set of onboard terminating resistors to terminate the devices at the ends automatically. Automatic termination requires that the SCSI devices be connected in a straight linear connection or “chain.” Connect SCSI devices to one or two of the SCSI connectors in a linear “chain” for auto termination of the ASUS PCI-SC860 to be effective.
