8  PMAC VME E-Point Descriptions 
E48: CPU Clock Frequency Control (Option CPU Section) 
E48 controls the CPU clock frequency only on PMAC with an option CPU section using flash memory 
backup (no battery). This CPU section is used on PMACs ordered with Opt 4A, 5A, or 5B (not Option 5).

Location Description  Default 
E48 
C2  Jump pins 1 and 2 to multiply crystal 
frequency by 3 inside CPU for 60 MHz 
operation. 
Remove jumper to multiply crystal frequency 
by 2 inside CPU for 40 MHz operation. 
Jumper installed 
(Option 5, 5B) 
Jumper not installed 
(Standard, Option 
4A, 5A) 
It may be possible to operate a board with 40 MHz components (Option 5A) at 60 MHz under some 
conditions by changing the setting of jumper E48. However, this operates the components outside of their 
specified operating range, and proper execution of PMAC under these conditions is not guaranteed. PMAC 
software failure is possible, even probable, under these conditions, and this can lead to very dangerous 
machine failure. Operation in this mode is done completely at the user’s own risk; Delta Tau can accept no 
responsibility for the operation of PMAC or the machine under these conditions.
