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 Socket 478. Fasten the heatsink supporting-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 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 [CPUFAN1, NBFAN1, 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 • NBFAN1: Chipset Fan • SYSFAN1: System Fan • AUXFAN1, AUXFAN2: Auxiliary Fan (No monitoring support in BIOS menu) WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers.
Hardware Setup (3). 2-7 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.
2-8 (4). Chapter 2 Wake-up Header [PS2-PWR1, USB-PWR1, USB-PWR2] These headers use a jumper cap to enable/disable the wake-up function. • PS2-PWR1: Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Disable wake-up function support at Keyboard/Mouse port. Pin 2-3 shorted: Enable wake-up function support at Keyboard/Mouse port • USB-PWR1: Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Disable wake-up function support at USB1 port. Pin 2-3 shorted: Enable wake-up function support at USB1 port.
Hardware Setup (5). 2-9 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.
2-10 (6). Chapter 2 Infrared Device Header [FPIO2] This header connects to an optional IR device attached to chassis. This motherboard supports standard IR transfer rates.
Hardware Setup (7). 2-11 Additional USB Port Headers [FP-USB1, FP-USB2] These headers each provide 2 additional USB 2.0 ports connection through an USB cable designed for USB 2.0 specifications.
2-12 Chapter 2 (8). Additional IEEE1394 Port Header [FP-1394-1, FP-1394-2] These headers each provide one additional IEEE1394 port connection through an extension cable and bracket.
Hardware Setup (9). 2-13 Front Panel Audio Connection Header [FP-AUDIO1] This header provides the connection to audio connector at front panel. • To use the audio connector at front panel, remove all the jumpers on this header, and then connect to front panel by the extenson cable provided with the chassis. • To use the audio connector at rear panel, disconnect the extension cable, attach the jumpers back at pin 5-6, and pin 9-10 (default setting). Pin 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 Pin Assignment Audio Mic.
2-14 Chapter 2 (10). System Management Bus Headers [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. (11).
Hardware Setup 2-15 (12). Accelerated Graphics Port Slot [AGP1] This motherboard provides an “AGP Pro 50” slot with up to AGP8X support. To install an “AGP Pro 50” compliant card, the small plastic retention piece located in the AGP1 slot must be removed first (simply by your fingertips, and keep it for future use). NOTE: Remove this plastic retention piece only when installing the “AGP Pro 50” compliant card.
2-16 Chapter 2 (13). 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).
Hardware Setup 2-17 (14). 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.
2-18 Chapter 2 (15). Serial ATA Connectors [SATA1~SATA4] These connectors are provided to attach one Serial ATA device at each channel via Serial ATA cable. It is also possible to connect legacy IDE hard disk through an optional SERILLEL2 Converter. SATA1 and SATA2 are controlled by ICH5R South Bridge. To enable the SATA1 and SATA2 controller, you have to enable the item “OnChip Serial ATA” first in the BIOS menu of “OnChip IDE Device”. SATA3 and SATA4 are controlled by Silicon Image PCI Chip.
Hardware Setup 2-19 NOTE: The Serial ATA controller only supports Ultra DMA/ATA100 or higher hard drive. Do not use hard drives under this specification, or it won’t work. (16). Status Indicators [D1, D2] • D1 (VCC): This LED lights up when the system power is on. • D2 (5VSB): This LED lights up when the power supply is connected with power source.
2-20 Chapter 2 (17). Back Panel Connectors [Mouse, Keyboard, LPT1, COM1, OPT-IN1, OPT-OUT1, AUDIO1, AUDIO2, IEEE1394/USB1, LAN/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.
