Chapter 2 Installation P4S61 is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6-in x 8.4-in, 24.4 cm x 21.3 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components. 2.1 Screw Holes Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
2.3 CPU Installation Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. o Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90 angle. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place. The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins. Step 4.
2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) P4S61 motherboard provides three 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots. Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components. Step 1. Step 2. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot. notch break notch break The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation.
2.6 Expansion Slots (PCI, AMR, and AGP Slots) There are 3 PCI slots, 1 AMR slot, and 1 AGP slot on P4S61 motherboard. PCI slots: The PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. AMR slot: The AMR slot is used to insert an ASRock MR card (optional) with v.92 Modem functionality. AGP slot: The AGP slot is AGP 3.5 compliant and it supports an 8X / 4X AGP card. Do NOT use a 3.
2.7 Jumpers Setup The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “SHORT”. If no jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “OPEN”. The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “SHORT” when jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins. Jumper PS2_USB_PWR1 Setting 1_2 2_3 Description Short pin2, pin3 to enable +5VSB (standby) for PS/2 or USB wake up events.
2.8 Connectors Connectors are NOT jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps over these connectors.
