Unpacking the
Mainboard
The
mainboard
package contains:
●
The
SiS
551X / P54C
Mainboard
●
This User's Guide
Note: Do not unpack the
mainboard until you
are ready to install it.
Follow the precautions below while unpacking the
mainboard,
1.
2.
3.
Before handling the
mainboard,
ground yourself by grasping an unpainted
portion of the system's metal chassis.
Remove the
mainboard
from its anti-static packaging and place it on a grounded
surface, component side up.
Check the
mainboard
for damage. If any chip appears loose, press carefully to
seat it
firmly
in its socket.
Do not apply power if the
rnainboard
appears damaged. If there is damage to the
board contact your dealer immediately.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Make sure you ground yourself before handling the
mainboard
or other system
components. Electrostatic discharge can easily darnage the components. Note that
you must take special precaution when handling the
mainboard
in dry or
air-
conditioned environments.
Take these precautions to protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge:
● Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install the
rnainboard
and other system components.
●
Ground yourself before removing any system component from its protective
anti-static packaging. To ground yourself grasp the expansion slot covers or
other unpainted portions of the computer chassis.
●
Frequently ground yourself while working, or use a grounding strap.
●
Handle the
rnainboard
by the edges and avoid touching its components.

Memory Configuration
The
mainboard
supports two banks of 72-pin SIMM
or
FDO
DRAM (with or
without parity). The
mainboard
requires SIMM of at least 80ns access time.
The
mainboard
supports
from
2 to
512
Mbytes with no other restrictions on
memory configurations. You can install DRAM in any combination without having to
rely on a memory
configuration
table. Memory configuration is thus
‘(Table-Free.”
. You can use
single 32
bits
DRAM on
SIMM2
and
SIMM4.
Cache Configuration
The
mainboard
has a write-back caching scheme. You can configure the
mainboard
's
’s
cache by installing cache chips in
jumpers JP26 and JP27 to set the
mainboard
Figures 2-2-2-3 for cache configurations,
