ECS Elitegroup MB694A [51/81] Note before attempting to configure a hard disk drive make sure you have the configuration information supplied by the manufac turer of your hard drive incorrect settings can result in your system not recognizing the installed hard disk

Note the cpu speed is determined by the cpu host pci clock speed multiplied by the cpu clock ratio refer to the frequency control option in chapter 3 for more information 15

Use this jumper to define the amr codec mode to avoid conflict with the onboard ac 97 codec 15

Use this jumper to enable either the onboard codec or the amr slot amr1 15

Use this jumper to force a cpu that has a 66 mhz frontside bus fsb to run at a 100 mhz fsb speed 15

Note the plus sign indicates a pin which must be connected to a positive voltage 17

Installing the processor 30

Double sided dimm use two sdram rows ds double sides 32

For this mainboard you must use 168 pin 3 v non buffered dual in line memory modules dimms the memory chips must be standard or registered sdram and vcm sdram memory chips the memory bus can run at 66 mhz 100 mhz or 133 mhz if your processor operates over a 133 mhz system bus you can install pc133 or pc100 memory that operates over a 133 or 100 mhz bus if your processor operates over a 100 mhz system bus you can install memory that operates over a 133mhz 100 mhz or 66mhz bus if your processor operates over a 66mhz you can only install memory chips that operate at 66mhz or 100mhz 32

Install the memory modules 32

Note single sided dimm use one sdram row ss single sides 32
