This chapter introduces the hardware installation process, including the installation of the CPU, memory, power supply, slots, pin headers and the mounting of jumpers. Caution should be exercised during the installation of these modules. Please refer to the motherboard layout prior to any installation and read the contents in this chapter carefully.
CA UT IO N 2-1 Install the CPU and CPU Cooler ! 2 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU : Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU. Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage. Locate the Pin-1 of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.
CA UT IO N Follow the steps to install the CPU onto the CPU socket : ! Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU. 2 1. Remove ������������������������������� protective socket cover. 2. Release ����������������������������� the CPU socket lever. 3. Lift the metal cover on the CPU socket. 4.
Install the CPU Cooler 2 Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. (The following procedures use Foxconn cooler as the example.) 1. Apply and spread an even thermal grease on the surface of CPU. 2. Place the four bolts of the CPU cooler to the holes of the motherboard, push them straight down from the top, and the bolts will be fastened on the motherboard. That's it. 3.
CA UT IO N 2-2 Install the Memory ! ■ ■ Dual Channel Memory Configuration This motherboard provides two DDR2 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. When memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically check the memory in your system.
! Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the 112-Pin power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. Be sure to install DDR2 DIMMs on this motherboard. Notch 128-Pin 2 CA UT IO N Installing a Memory If you take a look at front side of memory module, it has asymmetric pin counts on both sides separated by a notch in the middle, so it can only fit in one direction.
CA UT IO N 2-3 Install an Expansion Card ! PCI Express x1 PCI Express x16 PCI Follow the steps below to correctly install your expansion card in the expansion slot. 1. Locate an expansion slot that supports your card. Remove the metal slot cover from the chassis back panel. 2. Align the card with the slot, and press down on the card until it is fully seated in the slot. 3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are completely inserted into the slot. 4.
2-4 Install other Internal Connectors Power Connectors 24-pin ATX power connector : PWR1 PWR1 is the ATX power supply connector. Make sure that the power supply cable and pins are properly aligned with the connector on the motherboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable into the connector and make sure it is secure. 13 24 12 1 PWR1 Pin # Definition Pin # 1 3.3V 13 Definition 3.3V 2 3.
Audio Connector : CD_IN CD_IN is a Sony standard audio connector, it can be connected to a CD/DVD-ROM drive through a CD/DVD audio cable. CD_L GND CD_R 1 CD_IN The audio connector supports HD Audio standard. It provides the Front Audio output choice.

Hard Disk LED Connector (HDD-LED) Connect to the chassis front panel IDE indicator LED. It indicates the active status of the hard disks. This 2-pin connector is directional with +/- sign.
Chassis Intrusion Alarm Header : INTR The connector can be connected to a security switch on the chassis. The system can detect the chassis intrusion through the function of this connector. If eventually the chassis was closed, the system will send a message out. INTRUDERJ 1 GND INTR 2 TPM Connector : TPM The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) provides the ability to the PC to run applications more secure and to make transactions and communication more trustworthy.
2-5 Jumpers 2 For some features needed, users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard to modify them. This section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by changing the jumper settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to modifying any jumper setting. Description of Jumpers 1. For any jumper on this motherboard, Pin 1 can be identified by the bold silkscreen next to it. However, in this manual, Pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”. 2.
NING AR ! W ■ Disconnect the power cable before adjusting the jumper settings. ■ Do not clear the CMOS while the system is turned on. 2 USB device wake-up Jumper: USBPW1357_1 / USBPW0246_1 1. Set the jumper to pins 1-2 (+5V) to wake up the computer from S1 sleep mode using the connected USB devices. 2. Set the jumper to pins 2-3 (+5VSB) to wake up the computer from S3 and S4 sleep modes using the connected USB devices.
Over Memory Frequency Jumper: JP1, JP2 When you use the memory which support 1066, the jumpers are used to overclock memory frequency. At the same time, the overclock bound depend on CPU FSB, you can 2 achieve the function as below. 1. When the CPU FSB is 1066MHz, set the JP1 pins to 2-3 (as Status 1) , and set “CMOS Setup” -> “Fox Central Control Unit” ->“DRAM Configuration” -> “DRAM Timing Selectable” to “Manual”, “System Memory Speed“ will show 886 and 1066. 2.
