Jumpers

III.INSTALLATION3.CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (FS0, FS1, FS2)

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'sInternal frequency (the advertised CPU speed).

4.CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio (BF0, BF1, BF2, BF3)

These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the CPU and the External frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU. These must be set together with the above jumpers CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection.

WARNING! Do not overclock your processor. Frequencies above 66MHz exceed the specifications for the onboard Intel Chipset and are not guaranteed to be stable. Overclocking can cause undue stress on the CPU and motherboard. It may result in a slower speed or other unpredictable outcomes. The table on the following page shows the approved CPUs and their settings.

Set the jumpers by the Internal speed of your processor as follows:

NOTE: Voltage Regulator Output Selection (VID) is not needed for the Pentium II processor because it sends a VID signal directly to the onboard power controller.
