Processor slot/socket - the slot or socket used to mount the system processor on the motherboard.
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and establish the relationship between the various components. Driver - software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another device or other software.
2-4 Install Memory This motherboard provides two 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) And two 168-pin SDRAM Module Socket sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM. Users only can install either 168-pin SDRAM Module or 184-pin DDR DRAM Module at one time.
2-5 Expansion Cards WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. 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.

INT B Shared INT C Not Shared Shared INT D Shared Shared 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.
2-6-1 Connectors (1) Power Connector (20-pin block) : ATXPOWER ATX Power Supply connector. This is a new defined 20-pins connector that usually comes with ATX case. The ATX Power Supply allows to use soft power on momentary switch that connect from the front panel switch to 2-pins Power On jumper pole on the motherboard. When the power switch on the back of the ATX power supply turned on, the full power will not come into the system board until the front panel switch is momentarily pressed.

2-7 Starting Up Your Computer 1. After all connection 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.
Chapter 3 Introducing BIOS 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.
