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 four 184-pin DDR DIMM slots for Single/Dual Channel DDR 400/333/266 memory modules with memory expansion size up to 4GB. To reach the performance of Dual Channel DDR, the following rules must be obeyed: • When installing TWO DIMM modules: Install DIMM modules of the same type and size for slots [DIMM1]+[DIMM3] or slots [DIMM2]+[DIMM4].
2-4 Chapter 2 Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules. 1. Locate the DIMM slot on the board. 2. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away of touching its connectors. 3. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. 4. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot automatically snaps into the mounting notch.
Hardware Setup 2-5 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.
2-6 (2). Chapter 2 FAN Connectors 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 • NBFAN1: Chipset Fan • SYSFAN1: OTES Fan • AUXFAN1, AUXFAN2: Auxiliary Fan (No monitoring support in BIOS menu) WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps on these connectors.
Hardware Setup (3). 2-7 CMOS Memory Clearing Header 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.
