Since AF8 senses the CPU speed automatically, you don′t have to set the jumpers. The AF8 supports PPGA CELERON CPU and FCPGA PENTIUM ⅢC P U .

The AF8 mainboard supports the system bus clock from 66Mhz to 133Mhz (the default is 100Mhz).

Set the jumpers according to the CPU clock(set in the closed mode).

FLATOP supports PC-100 and special PC-133 standard memory. * FLATOP cannot use PC-66 memory. A combination of Celeron CPU and PC-66 memory could cause abnormal operation in the memory. We don ′t recommend this combination.

■C a u t i o n s

1. As memory is vulnerable to static electricity, be careful in inserting and removing the memory modules.

2. Check the memory module type before you install the new memory m o d u l e .
