7.1ASUS S370-133 CPU Card

The optional ASUS S370-133 CPU card allows Slot 1 motherboards to accept socket 370 processors with a FSB running at up to 133MHz. The ASUS S370-133 CPU card supports both Coppermine and Celeron processors to give Slot 1 motherboard owners an inexpensive way to upgrade their Pentium II/III computers using lower costing socket 370 processors. Since socket 370 processors are designed on the Pen- tium II/III design, the only difference is the package form factor. Additionally, the S370-133 card can acquire temperature data from the processor’s thermal diode and send it to the motherboard that supports CPU thermal monitoring.

The following shows a picture of the ASUS S370-133 CPU card with a black plastic retainer attached to the edge. The retainer is used to hold the ASUS S370-133 CPU card in place using the motherboard’s Slot 1 retention mechanism.

7.1.1 Using the ASUS S370-133

The general procedure for using the ASUS S370-133 CPU card:

1.Set the JP6 jumper according to the type of your CPU. See the reverse side of the ASUS S370-133 CPU card or the following page for jumper settings.

2.Check the voltage setting for your socket 370 processor using the jumpers on the card if necessary. For current socket 370 processors, the default setting should be used.

3.Install the socket 370 processor. Installation of socket 370 processors is exactly like socket 7 processors. Lift the brown lever to 90° to install the processor and lower the brown lever to lock the processor.

4.Install the CPU fan.

5.Insert the ASUS S370-133 CPU card into Slot 1 on the motherboard. The two fins on the sides of the ASUS S370-133 CPU card must catch on the retention mechanism so that it locks in place.

6.Connect the socket 370 processor’s fan connector to the motherboard.

7.Make sure that no wires or objects come in contact with the fan and you’re done!
