Note: 1. PC100 Compliant DIMM module is required regardless of 66 or 100
MHz FSB speed.
2. If you want to use DIMM3, DIMM2 must be used as well to let the
system work properly. Just plugging a memory module into DIMM3
with DIMM2 left empty, will make the system unstable.
CMOS Clear (JP5)
In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps below to clear
CMOS memory.
1.
Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5. This jumper
can be easily identified by its white colored cap.
2.
Then put the jumper back to 1-2 to allow writing new of data into the CMOS memory.

Note: You must unplug the ATX power cable from the ATX power connector when
performing the CMOS Clear operation.
