*****INSTALLATION AND TROUBLE SHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS******:

1. ALWAYS POWER OFF COMPUTER/MOTHERBOARD AND PULL THE AC POWER PLUG FROM THE WALL OR POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CHANGING OUT AN ASSEMBLY. IF THE AC POWER IS LEFT PLUGGED IN ON AN ATX POWER SUPPLY, THERE IS STILL A SMALL AMOUNT OF CURRENT
RUNNING TO THE MAINBOARD.
 

2. This assembly MUST be installed properly aligned and FULLY seated

into the SLOT 1 on the mainboard.

********The ease of alignment/misalignment varies from motherboard to motherboard, so it is important to check and double check this.********

3. The required retainer brackets(not included) MUST be properly in

place on the mainboard(*****these are the retainer brackets on the mainboard*****),

and the LOCKING HOOKS MUST be properly ENGAGED in order to hold the assembly in line and stabilized in the SLOT 1 on the mainboard,

SEE THE PHOTO DETAIL BELOW:

4. The fan leads MUST be properly connected to the appropriate fan

power header on the mainboard.

5. The proper selections/settings MUST be made in the BIOS to allow

the assembly to properly be detected by the BIOS.

*****the FSB is USUALLY set by the mainboard, however different mainboards may require different BIOS settings******

*****This assembly is meant to run at 100mhz FSB*****

*****This assembly CPU is meant to operate at 1.5 volts*****

 
 
 
 
 
6. You may want or need to make some BIOS settings changes (which can
vary from motherboard to motherboard, and brand of BIOS). 
Example: On some Award BIOS's, you may want to change "Halt on
incorrect cpu" to "Disabled", to avoid you having to press the F1 key on
power up, each time. It only halts, because the scripting for these
higher speed cpus in not in the BIOS, because the manufacturers never
expected these speeds to be run in these motherboards. We fooled
them.

7. The powerup/POST should be carefully observed on first startup to

assure that the assembly is properly installed and the BIOS properly

configured.

*****It has been my experience that if, after installation, the system will not POST, then it is probably best to remove the assembly from the slot and reseat it. The majority of non-POSTS are from incorrect seating. Yes, it may look like it's seated correctly, but, since some motherboard slot ones are harder to seat than others, it

sure doesn't hurt to try to seat/reseat several times. The assembly should be pressed STRAIGHT DOWN FIRMLY into the slot 1******

JUMPER SETTINGS:

ADDENDUM:
 
I have found that on some motherboards, it is necessary to disable the voltage alarm in the BIOS. This seems to be especially the case with Asus motherboards. On some motherboards, it is possible to disable the alarm, but still leave the voltage monitoring enabled.
 
This assembly "may" be able to be overclocked, in increments by removing ALL the jumpers from the FSB block of the assembly, then, depending on your motherboard, you could possibly be able to set the FSB natively via the motherboard BIOS.
 
HOWEVER, the FSB settings on the motherboard BIOS will most often over-ride the slotket FSB jumper settings, no matter which settings are selected on the slotket. In this case, the slotket jumpers would NOT need to be removed.
 
I DO NOT SUPPORT, NOR RECOMMEND OVERCLOCKING, SINCE THERE IS SUCH A WIDE VARIETY OF DIFFERENCES IN SYSTEMS. 
THIS ALSO WILL VOID THE 14-DAY RETURN POLICY.
