This page contains a summary of the important notes that must be

given special attention to prior to using the system board.

CPU Overclocking

The CPU Overclocking function allows you to adjust the processors

bus clock by 1MHz stepping. However, overclocking may result to

the processors or systems instability and are not guaranteed to

provide better system performance.

Processor

 The frequency ratio of some processors may have been locked

by the manufacturer. If you are using this kind of processor,

setting an extended ratio for the processor will have no effect.

The system will instead use its factory default ratio.

 The frequency ratio of processors greater than 8x has been

locked by the manufacturer and will no longer have the flexibility

of using extended ratios. Therefore, the system will use the

processors factory default ratio.

 Selecting an external bus clock other than 66MHz, 100MHz or

133MHz may result to the processors or systems instability and

are not guaranteed to provide better system performance.

System Memory

The system board supports both VCM and PC SDRAM DIMMs. If

you are using more than one DIMM, make sure you insert the same

type of DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. Using different types (VCM

or PC SDRAM) of DIMMs may cause problems.

5VSB Power

If you are using the (1) Wake-On-LAN and/or (2) Wake-On-Ring

(internal modem) functions, the 5VSB power source of your power

supply must support ≥720mA.

Drivers

Make sure to reboot the system after each driver installation.

Problems will occur if you reboot only after installing all the drivers.
