Hardware Setup 2-1 Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or damaged. 2-1.
2-2 Chapter 2 This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 462 to install AMD Socket A CPU. The CPU you bought should have a kit of heatsink and cooling fan along with. If that’s not the case, buy one specially designed for Socket A. Please refer to the figure shown here to install CPU and heatsink. (For reference only. Your Heatsink & Fan Assembly may not be exactly the same as this one.) 1. Locate the Socket 462 on this motherboard.
Hardware Setup 2-3 2-3. Install System Memory This motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR DIMM slots for Dual Channel DDR 266/333/400 memory modules with memory expansion size up to 4GB. To reach the performance of Dual Channel DDR, the following rules must be obeyed: • When installing TWO DIMM modules: Install DIMM modules of the same type and size for slots [DIMM1]+[DIMM3] or slots [DIMM2]+[DIMM4].
2-4 Chapter 2 Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules. 1. Locate the DIMM slot on the board. 2. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away of touching its connectors. 3. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. 4. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot automatically snaps into the mounting notch.
Hardware Setup 2-5 2-4. Connectors, Headers and Switches Here we will show you all of the connectors, headers and switches, and how to connect them. Please read the entire section for necessary information before attempting to finish all the hardware installation inside the computer chassis. A complete enlarged layout diagram is shown in Chapter 1 for all the position of connectors and headers on the board that you may refer to.
2-6 (2). Chapter 2 FAN Connectors These 3-pin connectors each provide power to the cooling fans installed in your system. The CPU must be kept cool by using a powerful fan with heatsink. The system is capable of monitoring the speed of the CPU fan. • CPUFAN1: CPU Fan • SYSFAN1: System Fan • AUXFAN1: Auxiliary Fan WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps on these connectors.
Hardware Setup (3). 2-7 CMOS Memory Clearing Header This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory. • Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Normal operation. • Pin 2-3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory. WARNING: Turn the power off first (including the +5V standby power) before clearing the CMOS memory. Failing to do so may cause your system to work abnormally or malfunction.
2-8 (4). Chapter 2 S2K Mode Select Header This header uses a jumper to select the S2K mode. Short pin-2 and pin-3 for “Strapping from Hardware” to allow the CPU hardware controls the timing of S2K bus for a better system flexibility. The default setting is pin-1 and pin-2 shorted for “Strapping from boot ROM” to allow the internal boot ROM controls the timing of S2K bus.
Hardware Setup (5). 2-9 Wake-up Header These headers use a jumper cap to enable/disable the wake-up function. • PS2-PWR1: Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Disable wake-up function support at Keyboard/Mouse port. Pin 2-3 shorted: Enable wake-up function support at Keyboard/Mouse port • USB-PWR1: Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Disable wake-up function support at USB1 port. Pin 2-3 shorted: Enable wake-up function support at USB1 port.
2-10 (6). Chapter 2 Front Panel Switches & Indicators Headers This header is used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front panel. Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection. Please pay attention to connect these headers. A wrong orientation will only cause the LED not lighting, but a wrong connection of the switches could cause system malfunction.
Hardware Setup 2-11 (7). Additional IEEE1394 Port Headers This header each provides one additional IEEE1394 port connection through an extension cable and bracket. (8). Pin Pin Assignment Pin Pin Assignment 1 TPA0 + 2 TPA0 - 3 Ground 4 Ground 5 TPB0 + 6 TPB0 - 7 +12V 8 +12V 9 NC 10 Ground Additional USB Port Headers These headers each provide 2 additional USB 2.0 ports connection through an USB cable designed for USB 2.0 specifications.
2-12 (9). Chapter 2 Front Panel Audio Connection Header This header provides the connection to audio connector at front panel. • To use the audio connector at front panel, remove all the jumpers on this header, and then connect to front panel by the extenson cable provided with the chassis. • To use the audio connector at rear panel, disconnect the extension cable, attach the jumpers back at pin 5-6, and pin 9-10 (default setting). Pin 1 3 5 7 9 KW7 Series Pin Assignment Audio Mic. Audio Mic.
Hardware Setup 2-13 (10). Internal Audio Connectors These connectors connect to the audio output of internal CD-ROM drive or add-on card. (11). Accelerated Graphics Port Slot This slot supports an optional AGP graphics card up to AGP 8X mode. ATTENTION: This motherboard does not support 3.3V AGP cards. Use only 1.5V or 0.8V AGP cards.
2-14 Chapter 2 (12). Floppy and IDE Disk Drive Connectors The FDC1 connector connects up to two floppy drives with a 34-wire, 2-connector floppy cable. Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to the FDC1 on the board, the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk drives connector. Generally you need only one floppy disk drive in your system. NOTE: The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both the FDC1 port and the floppy connector.
Hardware Setup 2-15 (13). Serial ATA Connectors These connectors are provided to attach one Serial ATA device at each channel via Serial ATA cable. A RAID 0 or RAID 1 array is also available by software configuration. To enable the SATA1 and SATA2 controller, the item “OnChip SATA Device” must be kept enabled (default setting) in the BIOS menu of “OnChip IDE Device”.
