3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure Complete the following steps before using your computer: 1. Check motherboard settings 2. Install memory modules 3. Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) 4. Install a CPU terminator, if you installed only one CPU. 5. Install Expansion Cards 6. Connect ribbon cables, panel wires, and power supply cables 7. Configure the BIOS parameter settings 3.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.5 System Memory This motherboard uses interleaved PC133 Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Six DIMM sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) registered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB densities with Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC). The motherboard supports system memory of up to 6GB in a two-way interleaved configuration.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.5.2 Memory Installation WARNING! Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and expansion cards (see 3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure for more information). 60 Pins 20 Pins Insert a DIMM into the DIMM socket as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module only fits in one direction.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with a dual Socket 370 for Intel Pentium III Coppermine (256KB L2 cache) and Tualatin (512KB L2 cache) CPUs running up to 1.53+GHz with 133MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). The following illustration shows the location of the CPU sockets on the motherboard, and the correct CPU and terminator orientation. Pentium III (Coppermine) FC-PGA Gold Arrow Pentium III (Tualatin) ® TRL-DLS 3.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.6.1 Installing the CPU and Terminator Follow these steps to install a CPU. 1. Locate the ZIF socket on the motherboard. 2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100° angle. 3. H/W SETUP CPU Installation 3. Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the socket. 4.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.7 Expansion Slots WARNING! Unplug the power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The motherboard has four 3.3V 64-bit/66MHz PCI slots and two 5V 32-bit/33MHz PCI slots. The slots support PCI 2.2 protocol. 3.7.1 Expansion Card Installation Procedure Follow these steps to install an expansion card. 3.

3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.8 Connectors WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard. IMPORTANT: Always connect ribbon cables such that the red stripe matches Pin 1 on the connector. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector on hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk drives. 3.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 2) Floppy Disk Drive Connector (34-1 pin FLOPPY) This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs on the other end to the floppy drives. (Pin 5 is removed to prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 5 plugged). ® TRL-DLS NOTE: Orient the red markings on the floppy ribbon cable to PIN 1. PIN 1 3.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 4) Wake-On-Ring Connector (2-pin WOR) This connector connects to internal modem cards with a Wake-On-Ring output. The connector powers up the system when a ringup packet or signal is received through the internal modem card. NOTE: For external modems, Wake-On-Ring is detected through the COM port. ® TRL-DLS WOR 1 2 Ground Ring# 3. H/W SETUP Connectors TRL-DLS Wake-On-Ring Connector 5) Chassis Intrusion Connector (CHASSIS) This connector is designed for chassis intrusion detection.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 6) Two 68-pin Ultra160 SCSI Connectors (CHA-WIDE, CHB-WIDE) This motherboard has two 68-Pin Ultra160 SCSI connectors; one for each of the two channels. Each channel can support a maximum of 15 devices as specified by Ultra160 standards.

3. HARDWARE SETUP 7) CPU and Chassis Fan Connectors (3-pin CPUFAN1/2, SYSFAN1/2) These connectors support cooling fans of 860mA (10.3 Watts) or less. Orient the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while the black should be ground. Connect the fan’s plug to the board taking into consideration the polarity of the connector.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 8) SMBus Connector (6-1 pin SMB) This connector allows you to connect SMBus (System Management Bus) devices. SMBus devices communicate by means of the SMBus with an SMBus host and/ or other SMBus devices. SMBus is a specific implementation of an I2C bus, which is a multi-device bus; that is, multiple chips can be connected to the same bus and each one can act as a master by initiating data transfer. ® TRL-DLS SMB 3.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 10) ATX Power Connector (20/24-pin block ATXPWR, 8-pin CON12V) The 20/24-pin connector is for an ATX power supply with 20/24-pin power connector. The connector from the power supply is designed to fit this connector in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the plug completely fits in. The 8-pin +12V connector is for ground. IMPORTANT: Make sure that your ATX power supply can supply at least 720mA on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB).

4. BIOS SETUP 4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS 4.1.1 Upon First Use of the Computer System It is recommended that you save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS along with a Flash Memory Writer utility (AFLASH.EXE) to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later. AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode.
4. BIOS SETUP 5. Select 1. Save Current BIOS to File from the Main menu and press . The Save Current BIOS To File screen appears. 6. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX and then press . 4.
4. BIOS SETUP 4.1.2 Updating BIOS Procedures WARNING! Update the BIOS only if you have problems with the motherboard and you know that the new BIOS revision will solve your problems. Careless updating can result to more problems with the motherboard! 4. BIOS SETUP Updating BIOS 1. Download an updated ASUS BIOS file from the Internet (WWW or FTP) (see ASUS CONTACT INFORMATION on page 3 for details) and save to the boot floppy disk you created earlier. 2. Boot from the floppy disk. 3.
4. BIOS SETUP 7. The utility starts to program the new BIOS information into the Flash ROM. The boot block is updated automatically only when necessary. This minimizes the possibilities of boot problems in case of update failures. When the programming is done, Flashed Successfully appears. 8. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue. 4. BIOS SETUP Updating BIOS WARNING! If you encounter problems while updating the new BIOS, DO NOT turn off the system because this may cause boot problems.
4. BIOS SETUP 4.2 BIOS Setup Program This motherboard supports a programmable EEPROM that you can update using the provided utility described in 4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS. The utility is used if you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section describes how to configure your system using this utility. Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, at some time in the future you may want to change the configuration of your computer.
