Make sure the total installed memory does not exceeds 1GB, otherwise the system may hang during startup. Generally, installing SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 168-Pin PC100 & PC133 SDRAM module looks like.
2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation 1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers. 2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use. 3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly. 4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above. 5. Replace the computer system’s cover. 6. Set up the BIOS if necessary. 7.
Onboard VGA AC97/MC97 Onboard USB IMPORTANT! Shared Shared If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Shared IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable. 2-6 Connectors, Headers 2-6-1 Connectors (1) Power Connector (20-pin block) : ATX ATX Power Supply connector. This is a new defined 20-pins connector that usually comes with ATX case.
(6) (7) This connector is for on board VGA display connection only. If you insert any external VGA card in PCI slot, you should have the connection to your VGA card’s connector. And you have to set “Init Display First” to PCI under Integrated Peripherals option in BIOS Setup Utility to get display from PCI VGA card. Audio and Game Connector: AGC This Connector are 3 phone Jack for LINE-OUT, LINE-IN, MIC and a 15-pin D-Subminiature Receptacle Connector for joystick/MIDI Device.
setting its jumpers accordingly. Please refer to the documentation of your hard disk for the jumper settings. Primary IDE Connector Pin 1 (10) Secondary IDE Connector (40-pin block): IDE2 This connector connects to the next set of Master and Slave hard disks. Follow the same procedure described for the primary IDE connector. You may also configure two hard disks to be both Masters using one ribbon cable on the primary IDE connector and another ribbon cable on the secondary IDE connector.
(2) USB Port Headers (9-pin header): USB2 These headers are used for connecting the additional USB port plug. By attaching an option USB cable, your can be provided with two additional USB plugs affixed to the back panel. USB2 VCC − DATA +DATA GND NC Pin 1 VCC − DATA +DATA GND NC USB Port Headers (3) (4) (5) (6) IDE Activity LED: HDLED This connector connects to the hard disk activity indicator light on the case. Turbo LED switch: TRBLED Since the motherboard’s turbo function is always on.

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 connector.
4 1 CD-IN CD Audio-In Headers (12) Wake On-LAN Headers (3-pin) : WOL1 This connector connects to a LAN card with a WAKE ON-LAN output. This connector power up the system when a wake up signal is received through the LAN card. NOTE: This feature requires that BIOS Wake-Up by PCI Card is enabled. WOL1 3 1 WOL GND 5VSB Wake-On-LAN Headers 2-7 Starting Up Your Computer 1. After all connections are made, close your computer case cover.
2. Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to proper position, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your country’s voltage used. 3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case according to your system user’s manual. 4. Turn on your peripheral as following order: a. Your monitor. b. Other external peripheral (Printer, Scanner, External Modem etc…) c. Your system power.
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done it gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS).
