Introduction 1-3 1-2.
1-4 BH7 Chapter 1
Hardware Setup 2-1 Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or damaged. 2-1.
2-2 Chapter 2 2-2. Install Pentium® 4 CPU and Heatsink Supporting-Base This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 478 to install Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU. The CPU you bought should have a kit of heatsink and cooling fan along with. If that’s not the case, buy one specially designed for Pentium® 4 Socket 478. 1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard. Fasten the Retention Module Base onto the motherboard.
Hardware Setup 2-3 2-3. Install System Memory This motherboard provides three 184-pin DDR DIMM sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 128MB to maximum memory size of 2GB DDR SDRAM (DIMM2 & DIMM3 are sharing). Table 2-1.
2-4 Chapter 2 2-4. Connectors, Headers and Switches Here we will show you all of the connectors, headers and switches, and how to connect them. Please read the entire section for necessary information before attempting to finish all the hardware installation inside the computer chassis. A complete enlarged layout diagram is shown in Chapter 1 for all the position of connectors and headers on the board that you may refer to.
Hardware Setup (2). 2-5 FAN Connectors [CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1, AUXFAN1, AUXFAN2] These 3-pin connectors each provide power to the cooling fans installed in your system. The CPU must be kept cool by using a powerful fan with heatsink. The system is capable of monitoring the speed of the CPU fan. • CPUFAN1: CPU Fan • SYSFAN1: System Fan • AUXFAN1: Auxiliary Fan • AUXFAN2: Auxiliary Fan (No monitoring support in BIOS menu) WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers.
2-6 (3). Chapter 2 CMOS Memory Clearing Header [CCMOS1] This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory. • Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Normal operation. • Pin 2-3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory. WARNING: Turn the power off first (including the +5V standby power) before clearing the CMOS memory. Failing to do so may cause your system to work abnormally or malfunction.
Hardware Setup (4). 2-7 Additional USB Port Header [FP-USB1] This header provides one additional USB 2.0 port connection through an USB cable designed for USB 2.0 specifications.
2-8 (5). Chapter 2 Front Panel Switches & Indicators Headers [FPIO1] This header is used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front panel. Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection. Please pay attention to connect these headers. A wrong orientation will only cause the LED not lighting, but a wrong connection of the switches could cause system malfunction.
Hardware Setup (6). 2-9 System Management Bus Header [SMB1] This header is reserved for system management bus (SM bus). The SM bus is a specific implementation of an I2C bus. I2C is a multi-master bus, which means that multiple chips can be connected to the same bus and each one can act as a master by initiating a data transfer. If more than one master simultaneously tries to control the bus, an arbitration procedure decides which master gets priority. (7).
2-10 (8). Chapter 2 Internal Audio Connectors [CD1, AUX1] These connectors connect to the audio output of internal CD-ROM drive or add-on card. (9). Accelerated Graphics Port Slot [AGP1] This slot supports an optional AGP graphics card up to AGP 4X mode. Please refer to our Web site for more information on graphics cards. ATTENTION: This motherboard does not support 3.3V AGP cards. Use only 1.5V AGP cards.
Hardware Setup 2-11 (10). Floppy Disk Drive Connector [FDC1] This connector supports two standard floppy disk drives via a 34-pin 34-conductor ribbon cable. Connecting the Floppy Disk Drive Cable: 1. Install one end of the ribbon cable into the FDC1 connector. The colored edge of the ribbon cable should be aligned with pin-1 of FDC1 connector. 2. Install the other end(s) of ribbon cable into the disk drive connector(s).
2-12 Chapter 2 (11). IDE Connectors [IDE1, IDE2] This motherboard provides two IDE ports to connect up to four IDE drives at Ultra ATA/100 mode by Ultra ATA/66 ribbon cables. Each cable has 40-pin 80-conductor and three connectors, providing two hard drives connection with motherboard.
Hardware Setup 2-13 (12). Serial ATA Connector [SATA1] This connector provides one serial ATA device connection through Serial ATA cable. It is also possible to connect legacy IDE hard disk through an optional SERILLEL2 Converter. NOTE: To enable this SATA function, the “SATA Controller” option in the BIOS menu must be set to [Enabled] in advance. By enabling this function, the “IDE2 Master” channel will then be disabled, leaving only the “IDE2 Slave” channel available.
2-14 Chapter 2 (13). Status Indicators [D17, D18] • D17 (VCC): This LED lights up when the system power is on. • D18 (5VSB): This LED lights up when the power supply is connected with power source.
Hardware Setup 2-15 (14). Back Panel Connectors [Mouse, Keyboard, LPT1, COM1, OPT1, OPT2, AUDIO1, AUDIO2, LAN, USB1/USB2] • Mouse: Connects to PS/2 mouse. • Keyboard: Connects to PS/2 keyboard. • LPT1: Connects to printer or other devices that support this communication protocol. • COM1: Connects to external modem, mouse or other devices that support this communication protocol. • OPT1: This connector provides an S/PDIF-In connection through optical fiber to digital multimedia devices.
