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 This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 462 to install AMD Socket A 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 Socket A. Please refer to the figure shown here to install CPU and heatsink. (For reference only. Your Heatsink & Fan Assembly may not be exactly the same as this one.) 1. Locate the Socket 462 on this motherboard.
Hardware Setup 2-3 2-3. Install System Memory This motherboard provides 3 184-pin DDR DIMM sites for memory expansion available from minimum 128MB to maximum 3GB. 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 2-5 (2). FAN Connectors These 3-pin connectors each provide power to the cooling fans installed in your system. • CPUFAN1: CPU Fan • NBFAN1: Chipset Fan • SYSFAN1: System Fan • FAN4, FAN5: Auxiliary Fan WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps on these connectors.

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 Wake-up Header These headers use a jumper cap to enable/disable the wake-up function. • KBPWR1: 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. • USBPWR1: 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.
2-8 Chapter 2 (5). Front Panel Switches & Indicators Headers 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 Chapter 2 (7). Additional IEEE1394 Port Header This header provides one additional IEEE1394 port connection through an extension cable and bracket.
Hardware Setup 2-11 (8). Front Panel Audio Connection Header 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 extension 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. Audio Mic.
2-12 (9). Internal Audio Connectors These connectors connect to the audio output of internal CD-ROM drive or add-on card.
Hardware Setup 2-13 (10). Accelerated Graphics Port Slot This slot supports an optional AGP graphics card up to AGP 8X 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 or 0.8V AGP cards.
2-14 Chapter 2 (11). Floppy Disk Drive Connector 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). The colored edge of the ribbon cable should be also aligned with pin-1 of disk drive connector.
Hardware Setup 2-15 (12). IDE Connectors This motherboard provides two IDE ports to connect up to four IDE drives at Ultra DMA 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). System Management Bus Headers 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.
Hardware Setup 2-19 (16). POST Code Display This is an LED device to display the “POST” Code, the acronym of Power On Self Test. The computer will execute the POST action whenever you power on the computer. The POST process is controlled by the BIOS.
