DIMM3 COM2 PART A 2-7-2 The mainboard also provides a 370-pin ZIF Socket 370. The CPU on motherboard must have a fan attached to prevent overheating. To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the white dot as your guide. The white dot should point towards the end of the level.
Reference Design: Heatsink • • FC-PGA with the reference design heatsink • Intel’s reference design thermal solution is an active heatsink; an extruded aluminum heatsink base and a fan attached to the top on the fin array. Heatsinks for the PPGA will not work with the FC-PGA. A pedestal is required on the underside of the heatsink to clear the socket cam box. Recommended thermal interface material: Chomerics* XTS454.
CPU Insertion Step 1 Open the socket by raising the actuation lever. Step 2 Insert the processor. Ensure proper pin 1 orientation by aligning the FC-PGA corner marking with the socket corner closest to the actuation arm tip. The pin field is keyed to prevent misoriented insertion. Don’t force processor into socket. If it does not go in easily, check for mis-orientation and debris. Make sure the processor is fully inserted into the socket on all sides.
Heatsink Attachment Step 1 Remove the protective liner from the thermal interface material on the underside of the heatsink. This liner is not normally present on the Intel reference active heatsink. Thumb Tab Step 2 Orient the heatsink with the keyed edge of heatsink along the cam box side of the processor. The clip should be oriented so that the thumb tab will engage on the cam box side of the socket.
2-8 Expansion Cards You must read the documentation come with expansion card for any hardware or software settings that may be required to setup your specific card. Installation Procedure: 1. Read the documentation from your expansion card. 2. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card. 3. Remove your computer’s cover. 4. Remove the bracket on the slot you intend to use. 5. Carefully align the card’s connectors and press firmly. 6. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you remove in step 4. 7.

AWARD BIOS SETUP This motherboard has previously set to its best stable status. If you are not an experienced user, please do not change the default setting. When you are encounter any problem, please choice “LOAD STANDARD DEFAULTS” to restore best setting. Award’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM so data will be retained even when the power is turned off.
STANDARD CMOS SETUP (Figure 3-1) allows user to configure system setting such as current date and time, type of hard disk drive installed in the system, floppy drive type, and the type of display monitor. Memory size is auto-detected by the BIOS and displayed for your reference. When a field is highlighted (direction keys to move cursor and key to select), the entries in the field will be changed by pressing or keys or user can enter new data directly from the keyboard.

When all the procedures have been completed, there will be an infrared signal coming from the SPDIF/OUT of the optical fiber of the sound card.
Please note that signal beam may cause severe damage to the eyes. For your safety, please point the output end to a piece of white paper to check if the beam is in function.
Please note that in playback, if there is no gap longer than three seconds between each track, the MD can not recognize the tracks and will record all of them into one. It is recommended that you set the gap time to 3~5 seconds to meet all type of MD requirements.
About Recording 24bit Audio Setting 24-bit audio can only be applied to SPDIF IN/OUT mode; it does not apply to other modes such as the four channels or the analog. No sound will be heard while in playback, yet it can be recorded. The un-selected area will be gray out.

Chapter 5 Quick Troubleshooting Guide If the result of your diagnostic is “call service”, please have the following information ready before you contact for any technical support. 1. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) you are using along with its require setting. 2. BIOS version (The message on third line when you turn on your computer). 3. General information about the hardware configuration (e.g. Modem, Video card, and any other Add-on device’s brand and model number, and system RAM type and chip brand).
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers Q：The system will hang up when setting “CPU Host / PCI CLK – 133MHz/33Mhz”. A：Please check your SDRAM, it must support 133MHz. You can not use PC 100 SDRAM to run 133MHz. Q：Why the CPU temperature show NA when use Pentium II 266MHz CPU? A：Because old CPU like Pentium II 233MHz, 266MHz do not have thermal diode inside CPU, therefore hardware can not detect the temperature.
