Static Electricity Precautions 1. Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the mainboard and installing it in a system. 2. Keep the mainboard, and other components, in their original static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them. 3. During an installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If you don’t have a wrist strap, frequently discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis. 4.
Chapter 2 Mainboard Installation To install this mainboard into your system, follow the procedures in this chapter: q q q q q q q Identify the mainboard components Install the correct processor Install one or more memory modules Verify that any jumpers or switches are at the correct setting Install the mainboard in the system chassis Install any extension cables to the mainboard headers Install any other devices and make the appropriate connections to the mainboard headers. Note: 1.
Mainboard Components Use the diagram below to identify the major components on your mainboard.
Install the Processor This mainboard has a Slot-1 which can be installed with any Slot-1 processor cartridge including the Pentium-III, the Pentium-II, and the SEPP Celeron. It also has a Socket-370 which can be installed with the new Celeron processor which is shipped in a PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) package. To ensure reliability, make sure that your PPGA Celeron processor is fitted with a heatsink/cooling fan assembly. You can install a Slot-1 processor or a PPGA Celeron.
Installing a Slot-1 Processor Cartridge 1. Locate Slot-1, FAN1, and JP7 on the mainboard. FAN1 JP7 Slot-1 with pre-installed cartridge holder. The upright arms are folded down for shipping. 2. The Slot-1 is installed with a cartridge holder. The upright struts of the cartridge holder are folded down for shipping. Pull the struts upwards so that they are in the upright position. 3. Insert the processor cartridge into the cartridge holder. Follow the instructions given with your processor cartridge.
4. Locate the cooling fan power supply FAN1. Connect the cable from the processor cartridge cooling fan to FAN1. 5. Locate the jumper JP7. Use this jumper to select if you have installed a Slot-1 processor or a Socket-370 processor. The jumper settings are illustrated below. JP7 JP7 1 Selects a Socket-370 processor 1 Selects a Slot-1 processor 6. On this mainboard, you can configure the processor by entering the correct settings in the BIOS setup utility.
4. Match the pin-1 corners and insert the Celeron processor into the socket. No force is required and the processor should drop into place freely. 5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the catch on the side of the socket. This locks the Celeron processor in the socket. 6. Locate the jumper JP7. Use this jumper to select if you have installed a Slot-1 processor or a Socket-370 processor. The jumper settings are illustrated below.
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V memory modules installed with SDRAM memory chips. If you are using a processor cartridge that runs on a 100 MHz system bus, you must use memory that operates on a 100 MHz memory bus (PC-100 memory). If you are using a processor cartridge that runs on a 66 MHz system bus, you can use memory that operates on a 66 MHz memory bus. You can install any size of memory module from 16 MB up to 256 MB, so the maximum memory size is 3 x 256 MB = 768 MB.
Jumper JP1: Keyboard Power On Selector If you are using an ATX power supply unit, you can use hot keys on your keyboard as a power on/off switch for the system Use this jumper to turn this feature on or off. Note: Make sure that the system can provide 1A on +5VSB (+5V Standby) signal before using the Keyboard Power On function.
Jumper JP3: Enable/Disable Onboard LAN Use this 3-pin jumper to enable or disable the onboard network adapter. Function Enable Onboard LAN Disable Onboard LAN Jumper Setting Short Pins 1-2 Short Pins 2-3 Jumper JP9: Enable/Disable Onboard Fax/modem Use this 3-pin jumper to enable or disable the onboard fax/modem card. If the audio jumper JP4 is disabled, the fax/modem is also disabled, no matter the setting of JP9.
Install the Mainboard Install the mainboard into the system chassis. This mainboard is baby AT-sized and the I/O ports are provided on extension brackets. In addition the mainboard can operate using an AT power supply unit or an ATX power supply unit. This means that you have a wide choice of cases that can be used by this mainboard. Install the mainboard into the unit case. Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer using the screws and mounting points provided in the chassis.
