2-3 Install CPU 2-3-1 Glossary Chipset (core logic) - two or more integrated circuits which control the interfaces between the system processor, RAM, I/O devises, and adapter cards. Processor socket - the socket used to mount the system processor on the motherboard. Slot (AGP, PCI, ISA, RAM) - the slots used to mount adapter cards and system RAM. AGP - Accelerated Graphics Port - a high speed interface for video cards; runs at 1X (66MHz), 2X (133MHz), or 4X (266MHz).
The way to recognize the specification of CPU from the packing Pentium III 370 pins FC-PGA On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of “PENTIUM III” the code is: RB 80526 P2 866 256 RB : FC–PGA packing P2 : P2–133MHz front side bus frequency PY–100MHz front side bus frequency 866 : CPU internal frequency, where here is 866MHz 256 : the size of L2 cache, where here is 256K Celeron FC–PGA On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of “Celeron” the co
2-3-3 Install CPU This motherboard Provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.

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. DIMM1 (BANK0+BANK1) DIMM2 (BANK2+BANK3) Figure 2-4 DIMM3 (BANK4+BANK5) NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides. WARNING! For the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC133-compliant DIMMs.
7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card. 2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively assign to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use.
IMPORTANT! Note *1 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. Either AGP slot or onboard VGA can be active at the same time.

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.
beeps bad High frequency beeps when system is working CPU overheated System running at a lower frequency 6. During power-on, press key to enter BIOS setup. Follow the instructions in BIOS SETUP. 7. Power off your computer: You must first exit or shut down your operating system before switch off the power switch. For ATX power supply, you can press ATX power switching after exiting or shutting down your operating system.
Power on the computer and by pressing immediately allows you to enter Setup. If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing , and keys.
