Note: 1. PC100 Compliant DIMM module is required regardless of 66 or 100 MHz FSB speed.
2.If you want to use DIMM3, DIMM2 must be used as well to let the system work properly. Just plugging a memory module into DIMM3 with DIMM2 left empty, will make the system unstable.
CMOS Clear (JP5)
In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps below to clear CMOS memory.
1.Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin
2.Then put the jumper back to
