2.7.7 Clearing the CMOS
You need to clear the CMOS if you
forget your system password. To do
this, shut off the system power and short
pins 2-3 of JP9 for a few seconds. Reset
the jumper to normal setting by shorting
pins 1-2. Enter Setup to specify a new
password.
2.8 Upgrading the Second-level Cache
Observe ESD precautions when installing
components.
The system board comes with either 256-
KB pipelined-burst second-level cache
and a cache upgrade socket, or 512-KB
pipelined burst cache. The cache
upgrade socket accepts a 256-KB
pipelined-burst cache module; therefore,
allowing you to to upgrade the second-
level cache to 512 KB. See Figure 1-1
for the location of the cache upgrade
socket.
To upgrade, simply insert the cache
module into the cache socket.
