Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This chapter describes the hardware setup procedures that you have to perform when installing system components. It includes details on the switches, jumpers, and connectors on the motherboard. 2-1 Motherboard Installation Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. The motherboard uses the ATX form factor that measures 12 inches x 9.6 inches (30.5 x 24.5 cm). Caution: 1.
2-3 Steps of Hardware Installation Before using your computer, you had better complete the following steps: 1. Check motherboard setting 2. Install CPU 3. Install memory 4. Install expansion cards 5. Connect ribbon cables, panel wires, and power supply 6. Setup BIOS 7. Install software driver & utility 2-4 Checking Motherboard’s Jumper Setting (1) CMOS RAM Clear (3-pin) : JP3 A battery must be used to retain the motherboard configuration in CMOS RAM short 1-2 pins of JP3 to store the CMOS data.
(2) Keyboard Power On function Enabled/Disabled: JP1 USB Power on function Enabled/Disabled: JP2 When set as Enabled you can use keyboard to power on the system by password key-in, and use USB device to wake up the system.
Note! To use the Hyper-Threading Technology on this motherboard: 1. Buy an Intel Pentium 4 CPU that supports Hyper-Threading Technology. Install the CPU. 2. Power up the system and enter BIOS Setup (see Chapter 4). Under the Advanced Menu, make sure that the item Hyper-Threading Technology is set to Enabled. The item appears only if you installed a CPU that supports Hyper-Threading Techonology. 3. Reboot the system. 2-5-2 CPU Installation 2-5-2.
Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink and fan. 1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the heatsink fits properly on the retention module base. CPU Heatsink Retention Module Base Note! 1). The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard upon purchase. You do not have to remove the retention module base when installing the CPU or installing other motherboard components. 2).
Caution: 1). Make sure that the fan and retention mechanism assembly perfectly fits the heatsink and module base, otherwise you cannot snap the hooks into the holes. 2). Keep the retention locks lifted upward while fitting the retention mechanism to the module base. 3. Push down the locks on the retention mechanism to secure the heatsink and fan to the module base. When secure, the retention locks should point to opposite directions.
For Dual channel Limited! 1. Dual channel function only supports when 2 DIMM Modules plug in either both DIMM1 & DIMM3 or DIMM2 &DIMM4, or four DIMM Modules plug in DIMM1~DIMM4. 2. DIMM1 & DIMM3, or DIMM2 & DIMM4 must be the same type, same size, same frequency for dual channel function.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated. 2-6-4 Removing a DIMM Follow these steps to remove a DIMM. 1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM. 2. Remove the DIMM from the socket. 2-7 Expansion Cards WARNING! Turn off the power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failing to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and expansion cards.
2-7-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclusively assigned. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available, but most of them might already be in use.

Typematic Delay (Msec) Sets the delay time after the key is held down before is begins to repeat the keystroke. settings are 250, 500, 750, and 1000. The Security Option This category allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to Setup. The system will not boot and access to Setup will be denied if the System correct password is not entered at the prompt.
System BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled. Video RAM Cacheable Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. The settings are: 2T and 2.5T. Note: Change these settings only if you are familiar with the chipset. SDRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay This field let’s you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance.
