Connect to the Digital Audio device (the Audio Amplifier or Minidisk) by using optional SPDIF/OUT cable/bracket.
Memory Installation
The mainboard lets you add up to 768MB of system memory through three DIMM sockets on the board, and system memory are divided into three banks: Bank 0, Bank 1, and Bank 2. Bank Bank 0 DIMM1 Bank 1 DIMM2 Bank 2 DIMM3 Memory Module
4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
Total System Memory = Bank 0 + Bank 1 + Bank 2 Notes: 1. The speed of SDRAM DIMM modules have to be faster than 12ns (12 parts). When 100MHz clock speed is being used, then the speed of SDRAM DIMM should meet the PC100 SDRAM specification (8ns or 8 SDRAM at least). The speed of EDO/FPM DRAM have to be faster than 70ns, but it is not recommended for the performance purpose of the system.

Setting
1 3 1
Note: 1. Make sure that this jumper is set to Normal Mode before installing the mainboard and the power is off before clearing the CMOS. In the AT power system, this connector will act as a suspend switch; and in the ATX power system, this connector will be not only an ATX power button but a Suspend switch as well. Details are described below: When the system is off, push the power button to turn the system on. When the system is on, push the power button rapidly to switch the system to the Suspend mode, and, by pushing and holding the button for more than 4 seconds, it will turn the system completely off. When the system is in the Suspend mode, push the power button rapidly to turn the system on.
Chapter 4
BIOS Setup
This chapter explains how to configure the mainboards BIOS setup program. After you have configured the mainboard and have assembled the components, turn on the computer and run the software setup to ensure that the system information is correct. The software setup of the system board is achieved through Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) programming. You use the BIOS setup program to tell the operating system what type of devices are connected to your system board. Normally, you need to run system setup if either the hardware is not identical with information contained in the CMOS RAM, or if the CMOS RAM has lost power. Note: When installing newer BIOS into this mainboard, you need to clear CMOS for a moment then set back to Normal Mode or hold down the <End> key then power on to reboot the system.
