•1.Jumpers not indicated are for testing only.

•2. " " indicates the location of "Pin 1".

•3. SCSI, PCI Slots #1-#5, ZCR and PXHs are available on the X6QT8 only.

•4. Both IDE#1 and IDE#2 support compact ﬂ ash cards. When a compact ﬂ ash card is installed, be sure to connect a power cable to its PWR header (JWF1 for IDE1, JWF2 for IDE2).

•5. UXMB1-UXMB4: These are extended memory bridge chips that came with the chipset.

•6. CPLD stands for Complex Programmable Logic Devices.

•7. For the SCSI ZCR card to work properly, please install it in the green slot.

•8. If one CPU is used, install it in CPU Socket#1; if two CPUs are used, install them in Sockets #1 & #2. If three, install them in Sockets #1, #2 and #3.

•9. For best memory performance, install DIMM modules in the following slots

ﬁrst: DIMMs A1& B1, DIMMs A3 & B3, DIMMs A5 & B5, DIMMs A7 & B7. Also refer to Pg. 2-6 in Chapter 2 for details.
