Chapter 2 Mainboard Installation To install this mainboard in a system, follow the procedures in this chapter: Identify the mainboard components Install a CPU Install one or more system memory modules Verify that any jumpers or switches are set correctly Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case) Connect any extension brackets or cables to the mainboard connector headers Install any other devices and make the appropriate connections to the mainboard connector headers. Note: 1.
Mainboard Components Use the diagram below to identify the major components on the mainboard. Note: Any jumpers on your mainboard that do not appear in this illustration are for testing only.
Install A CPU This mainboard has a Socket 370 supporting FCPGA Celeron, FCPGA Pentium III and Tualatin/Tualatin Celeron processors. Do not support PPGA Celeron processor. To ensure reliability, ensure that your processor has a heatsink/cooling fan assembly. Do not try to install a Socket 7 processor in the Socket-370. A Socket 7 processor such as the Pentium-MMX, or the AMD K5/K6 does not fit in the Socket 370. Do not try to install PPGA Celeron processor in Socket-370.
3. On the Socket-370, identify the Pin-1 corner. The Pin-1 corner is at the end of the locking lever when it is locked. 4. Match the Pin-1 corners and insert the processor into the socket. No force is required and the processor should drop into place freely. 5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the catch on the side of the socket. This secures the CPU in the socket. 6.
To install a module, push the retaining latches at either end of the socket outwards. Position the memory module correctly and insert it into the DIMM socket. Press the module down into the socket so that the retaining latches rotate up and secure the module in place by fitting into notches on the edge of the module. Setting Jumper Switches Jumpers are sets of pins connected together with jumper caps.
Jumper JP2: Keyboard Power On Selector If you enable the keyboard power on feature, you can use hot keys on your keyboard as a power on/off switch for the system. Note: The system must provide 1A on the +5VSB (+5V Standby) signal before using the Keyboard Power On function. Function Disable Keyboard Power On Enable Keyboard Power On Jumper Setting Short Pins 1-2 Short Pins 2-3 Jumper JP3, JP4: CPU Frequency Selector These two jumpers enable to select CPU frequency.
Install the Mainboard Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case). The board is a Baby-AT size mainboard with a set of I/O ports. You can install this mainboard in any AT case. Ensure that your case has an I/O cover plate that matches the ports on this mainboard. Install the mainboard in a case. Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer using the hardware and internal mounting points on the chassis.
Install the Extension Brackets The extension brackets connect the mainboard’s features to external connectors attached to the system chassis. Follow the steps below to install the extension brackets. Note: All the ribbon cables used on the extension brackets have a red stripe on the Pin-1 side of the cable. Audio Ports and Game/MIDI Port Extension Bracket This bracket provides three audio jacks for stereo line in, stereo line out and microphone.

On the mainboard, locate the VGA1 header for this bracket. 2. Plug the cable from the bracket into the header. 3. In the system chassis, remove a blanking plate from one of the expansion slots and install the extension bracket in the slot. Use the screw that held the blanking plate in place to secure the extension bracket.
Optional Extension Brackets For this mainboard, you can also obtain an ATX form card and/or a serial port extension bracket. Install them by following the steps below. ATX Form Card This ATX Form Card provides a mini-DIN port for infrared, one mini-DIN port for a PS/2 mouse. In addition it has two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. 1 J3-ATX Header Infrared Port PS/2 Mouse Port USB Ports ATX Form Card 1. On the mainboard, locate the J3 ATX header for this bracket. 2.
Serial Port Extension Bracket This bracket has one serial port – COM2 (9-pins). 1 COM2 Header Serial Port COM2 Seria Port Extension Bracket 4. On the mainboard, locate the header COM2 for this bracket. 5. Plug the serial cable into COM2. 6. In the system chassis, remove a blanking plate from one of the expansion slots and install the extension bracket in the slot. Use the screw that held the blanking plate in place to secure the extension bracket.
Install Other Devices Install and connect any other devices in the system following the steps below. IDE1 1 1 IDE2 1 FDD1 Floppy Disk Drive The mainboard ships with a floppy disk drive cable that can support one or two drives. Drives can be 3.5” or 5.25” wide, with capacities of 360K, 720K, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB. Install your drives and connect power from the system power supply. Use the cable provided to connect the drives to the floppy disk drive header FDD1.
If you want to install more IDE devices, you can purchase a second IDE cable and connect one or two devices to the Secondary IDE channel connector IDE2 on the mainboard. If you have two devices on the cable, one must be Master and one must be Slave. Internal Sound Connections If you have installed a CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, you can connect the drive audio cable to the onboard sound system. On the mainboard, locate the two 4-pin connectors CD1 and CD2.
Expansion Slots This mainboard has three 32-bit PCI expansion slots and one AMR slot. WOL1 connector SB5V GND Signal AMR1 PCI3 PCI2 PCI1 Follow the steps below to install a PCI/AMR expansion card. 1. Locate the AMR or PCI slots on the mainboard. 2. Remove the expansion slot cover from system chassis. 3. Insert the expansion card edge connector into the slot and press it firmly down into until fully inserted. 4.
Wake On LAN (WOL) If you are using an ATX power supply, you can configure your system so that it powers down by software and can be resumed by alarms. If you have installed a LAN adapter expansion card, connect the card to the Wake On LAN connector WOL1. This allows incoming traffic to resume the system from a software power down. You need to enable this feature in the system setup utility.
