Check motherboard jumper setting 2.
2-3-2 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. WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor's heatsink and theCPU cooling FAN is working correctly; otherwise, it may cause overheating and damage the processor and motherboard.
The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will fit only in the orientation as shown. 2-4 Install Memory This motherboard provides two 168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sites for memory expansion from 32MB to 1GB SDRAM. NOTE! Make sure the total installed memory size does not exceed 1GB; otherwise, the system may hang during startup.
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! If the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, you must use PC133-compliant DIMMs. When this motherboard operates at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if nonPC133-compliant SDRAM modules are used because of the strict timing issues. If your DIMMs are not PC133-compliant, set the SDRAM clock at 100MHz to ensure system's stability.

After all the connections are made, close the chassis cover. 2. Be sure all the switches are off and check if the power supply input voltage is set at the proper position. Usually the in-put voltage is 220V~240V or 110V~120V, depending the country. 3.
If you do not see anything within 30 seconds after you turn on the power. The system may have failed on power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections or call the vender for assistance. 6. During the power-on test, press key to enter BIOS setup. Follow the instructions in BIOS SETUP. 7. Power off your computer: You must exit or shut down your operating system before switch off the power.
confirm or modify. . Press to save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu after you complet the setup of BIOS parameters. . Press Page Up/Page Down or +/- keys to modify the BIOS parameters for the active option. 3-1 Enter Setup Power on the computer and press immediately to enter Setup. If the message disappears before your respond but you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case.
Standard CMOS Features This Menu is for basic system configurations. Advanced BIOS Features This menu is to set the Advanced Features available in your system. Advanced Chipset Features This menu is to change the values in the chipset registers and optimize your system performance. Integrated Peripherals This menu is to specify your settings for integrated peripherals. Power Management Setup This menu is to specify your settings for power management.
Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the optimum system performance.Standard Defaults settings are relatively more reliable than Optimized Defaults. All the product verifications, compatibility test reports and manufacture quality controls are based on "Standard Defaults". We suggest you to use this setting for normal operation. "Standard Defaults" is not the slowest setting for this motherboard.

Load Standard Defaults When you press on this item, you get confirmation dialog box with a message similar to: Load Standard Defaults (Y/N)? N Press to load the BIOS default values for the most stable system operation and minimal performance.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have the BIOS to request a password at every time when your system is rebooted. This would prevent the unauthorized user. You can determine if the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to "System", the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to "Setup", the password is required only at the entry to Setup.
