3. CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection (FS0, FS1, FS2, FS3)

These jumpers tell the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU. These
allow the selection of the CPU’s External frequency (or BUS Clock). The BUS Clock
times the BUS Ratio equals the CPU's Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed).

4. CPU to BUS Frequency Multiple (BF0, BF1, BF2)

These jumpers set the frequency ratio between the Internal frequency of the CPU
and the External frequency (called the BUS Clock) within the CPU. These must be
set in conjunction with the jumpers for CPU External (BUS) Frequency Selection.

WARNING!

Frequencies above 100MHz exceed the specifications for the on-

board chipset and are not guaranteed to be stable. The table on the following
page is for general reference purposes only. Always refer to the instructions in-
cluded with your CPU when possible.
