Chapter 2 Motherboard Installation To install this motherboard in a system, please follow these instructions in this chapter: Identify the motherboard components Install a CPU Install one or more system memory modules Make sure all jumpers and switches are set correctly Install this motherboard in a system chassis (case) Connect any extension brackets or cables to connectors on the motherboard Install peripheral devices and make the appropriate connections to connectors on the motherboard No
Motherboard Components Identify major components on the motherboard via this diagram underneath. I/O Ports The illustration below shows a side view of the built-in I/O ports on the motherboard.
PS/2 Mouse PS/2 Keyboard Parallel Port (PRN) COM1 LAN Port (optional) USB Ports Use the upper PS/2 port to connect a PS/2 pointing device. Use the lower PS/2 port to connect a PS/2 keyboard. Use the Parallel port to connect printers or other parallel communications devices. Use the COM port to connect serial devices such as mice or fax/modems. COM1 is identified by the system as COM1. Connect an RJ-45 jack to the LAN port to connect your computer to the Network. Use the USB ports to connect USB devices.
1. Unhook the locking lever of the CPU socket. Pull the locking lever away from the socket and raising it to the upright position. 2. Match the pin1 corner marked as the beveled edge on the CPU with the pin1 corner on the socket. Insert the CPU into the socket. Do not use force. 3. Push the locking lever down and hook it under the latch on the edge of socket. 4. Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU. 5. Install the cooling fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU, and secure them all onto the socket base. 6.
DDR1 DDR2 Memory Module Installation Procedure These modules can be installed with up to 2 GB system memory. Following these steps to install the memory module. 1. Push down the latches on both sides of the DIMM socket. 2. Align the memory module with the socket. There is a notch on the DIMM socket that you can install the DIMM module in the correct direction. Match the cutout on the DIMM module with the notch on the DIMM socket. 3.
Jumper Settings Using a jumper cap to connect two pins is SHORT, removing it from these pins, OPEN. 1 JP2 JP2: Clear CMOS Jumper This jumper is to clear the contents of CMOS memory. You may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup Utility are incorrect that prevents your motherboard from operating. To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from the motherboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR setting for a few seconds.
J1 1 SYSFAN1 U5 1 SW1 Connect the power connector from the power supply to the U5 connector on the motherboard. J1 is the CPU Vcore power connector. If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the cable from the cooling fan to the SYSFAN1 fan power connector on the motherboard. Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the SW1 connector. Here is a list of the PANEL1 pin assignments.

Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system chassis with a screw.
Chapter 3 BIOS Setup Utility Introduction The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information of your computer, such as date and time, the type of hardware installed, and various configuration settings. Your computer applies those information to initialize all the components when booting up and basic functions of coordination between system components. If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the system to malfunction. It can even stop your computer booting properly.
Running the Setup Utility Every time you start your computer, a message appears on the screen before the operating system loading that prompts you to “Hit if you want to run SETUP”. Whenever you see this message, press the Delete key, and the Main menu page of the Setup Utility appears on your monitor. CMOS SETUP UTILITY – Copyright (C) 1985-2003, American Megatrends, Inc.
