This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, dis
k
drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe th
e
following precautions before you install a system component.
1.Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until yo
u
are ready to install it.
2.Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the syste
m
unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available,
maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure
requiring ESD protection.

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure
below.
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.
2. Remove ATX power cable from ATX power connector.
3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pins 1-2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to ATX power connector.

This jumper is used to enable or disable Keyboard/Mouse Wake Up function. If you select Enable,
you can decide the wake up mode from BIOS Setup > Integrated Peripherals > Power On Function
.
To implement this function, the power supply 5V standby current must be greater than 800mA. Note
that only PS/2 mouse supports Wake on Mouse function.
Disable
Enable
Tip: You have to wait for system to
successfully boot from operation system
(such as Windows or DOS) before the
Wake-On-Keyboard/Mouse can take effect.
This is because the information of how to
support this function must be stored into
Super I/O Controller and then you can use it
for next power on.

CPU VID signal and SMbus clock generator provide CPU voltage auto-detection and allows the
user to set the CPU frequency through the BIOS setup
, therefore no jumpers or switches are used.
The correct CPU information is saved into the EEPROM
. With these technologies, the
disadvantages of the Pentium based jumper-less designs are eliminated. There will be no worry of
wrong CPU voltage detection and no need to re-open the housing in case of CMOS battery loss.

155, and 160 MHz.
Warning: INTEL 820 chipset supports maximum
133MHz FSB and 66MHz AGP clock, higher clock
setting may cause serious system damage.
Tip: If your system hangs or fails to boot because of
overclocking, simply use JP14 to clear CMOS and restore to
the default setting (350MHz when FSB=100MHz; 267MHz
when FSB=133.3MHz ).

Intel 820 chipset supports 16/18 bit Direct RAMBUS (RDRAM) configurations and supports a
maximum of 32 devices on a RDRAM channel. A channel can be populated with mix of 64Mbit,
128Mbit, and 256Mbit RDRAM devices. Hence, the maximum system memory will be various
depends on the number of RDRAM devices and the RDRAM device technology. This motherboard
has two 184-pin RIMM sockets that allow you to install system memory up to
1GB
.

The RIMM
modules have Rambus channel signals as their memory interface. A RIMM module may
contain up to a maximum of 16 RDRAM devices. All RDRAM devices on a RIMM must
have the
same timing characteristics. Therefore, empty RIMM sockets
MUST
be populated with
Continuity
RIMM modules, ( CRIMM )
which will be provided with motherboard.

Setting RDRAM Speed
RDRAM speed means the data transfer rate of RDRAM device, for example, PC800 RIMM has
800MBytes/sec data transfer rate. Following table lists 5 kinds of CPU FSB and RDRAM speed
configurations that are supported by Intel 820 chipset.
RDRAM Speed FSB Clock Ratio Suggested RDRAM
600MB/s = 100MHz 6x PC600
800MB/s = 100MHz 8x PC800
533MB/s = 133.3MHz 4x PC600
710MB/s = 133.3MHz 5.33x PC700
800MB/s = 133.3MHz 6x PC800
