WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electric- ity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1.Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2.Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case.

3.Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or con- nectors, or other components.

4.Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the component whenever the components are separated from the system.

1)CPU External Frequency Setting (FS0, FS1, FS2, FS3, FS4)

Current PCI bus is limited to 33MHz, Socket 370 Celeron processors limited to 66MHz, and SDRAM limited to the DIMM type 66/100/133MHz. (66MHz SDRAM is not supported on this motherboard.) Other settings are for experi- enced users only.

NOTE: For updated processor settings, please visit ASUS’ web site (see ASUS CONTACT INFORMATION)

WARNING! CPU frequencies above 66MHz exceed the specifications for current Celeron processors and are not guaranteed to be stable. Premature wearing of the processor may result when overclocking. Be sure that the DIMM you use can handle the specified SDRAM MHz or else bootup will not be possible.
