Thermal Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors.

Introduction of 601CF Motherboard
1-1 Feature of motherboard
The 601CF motherboard is design for use Intel’s new generation Pentium processors, which utilize the Socket 370 design and the memory size expandable to 1GB (using 256Mb technology). This motherboard integrated VGA, Audio, and PC Health Function with Micro ATX form factor to support total solution for today’s computer market.
This motherboard using VIA Apollo PLE133 VT8601A and VT82C686B chipset, whose 133MHz front side bus delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of 133MHz processors and PC-100/PC-133 SDRAM. The 601CF motherboard offers ULTRA DMA 66/100 (ATA 100) to provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance.
The 601CF also has an integrated AC’97 2.1 CODEC on board which is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility. VIA VT8601A chipset also includes integrated 3D Graphic Acceleration to provide a lower cost video display solution.
With USB control as well as capability of expanding to 4 USB connectors support four USB devices, the 601CF meet future USB demand. Moreover, it has built-in hardware monitor function to monitor and protect your computer.
This motherboard provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It is really wise choice for your computer.

Hardware installation
2-1 Hardware installation Steps
Before using your computer, you had better complete the following steps:
1.Check motherboard jumper setting
2.Install CPU and Fan
3.Install System Memory (DIMM)
4.Install Expansion cards
5.Connect IDE and Floppy cables, Front Panel /Back Panel cable
6.Connect ATX Power cable
7.Power-On and Load Standard Default
8.Reboot
9.Install Operating System
10.Install Driver and Utility
2-2 Checking Motherboard’s Jumper Setting
(1) CPU F.S.B. Clock setting: JMP1
The motherboard’s CPU Front Side Bus clock adjusted through jumper JPM1. This motherboard is jumper-less design. When you set JMP1 to AUTO, no jumper or switch are needed, you can then set CPU Frequency through the BIOS setup.
BIOS Setup>Miscellaneous Control>Host clock at Next Boot is

(2) CMOS RAM Clear (3-pin): JBAT1
A battery must be used to retain the motherboard configuration in CMOS RAM short 1-2 pins of JBAT1 to store the CMOS data.
7
To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below:
1.Turn off the system and unplug the AC power
2.Remove ATX power cable from ATX power connector
3.Locate JBAT1 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds
4.Return JBAT1 to its normal setting by shorting pins 1-2
5.Connect ATX power cable back to ATX power connector
Note: When should clear CMOS
1.Troubleshooting
2.Forget password
3.After over clocking system boot fail

On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of “PENTIUM III” the code is:
RB 80526 P2 866 256
RB : FC–PGA packing
P2 : P2–133MHz front side bus frequency PY–100MHz front side bus frequency 866 : CPU internal frequency, where here is
866MHz
256 : the size of L2 cache, where here is 256K
Celeron FC–PGA
On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of “Celeron” the code is:
8
566/128/66/1.5V
566 : CPU internal frequency, where here is 566MHz 128 : the size of L2 cache, where here is 128K
66 : front side bus frequency, where here is 66MHz 1.5V : the voltage for the CPU
2-3-2 Setting CPU Bus Clock Jumper
Setting the CPU Front Side Bus Frequency
The motherboard uses jumper JMP1 for the front side bus frequency setting as shown from the table below:

Example: Using a Pentium III 866 CPU with front side bus frequency of 133MHz and
PC-133 SDRAM module, the setting of JPM1 will be all OFF. Will form CPU BUS CLOCK be 133MHz.
For experience user looking for over clocking, please refer to sec 2-3-4
2-3-3 Install CPU
This motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU
9
has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No forces require to insert of the CPU, then press the level to locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-3-4 Over clock Running
WARNING! This section is for experienced motherboard installer only. Over clocking can result in system instability or even shortening life of the processor.
After setting the Jumper JMP1 you can choose over clock running by BIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY. When you entered CMOS SETUP UTILITY, choose “Miscellaneous Control” you will see the screen as below then.
You can choose the situation you want to try.

NOTE! Make sure the total installed memory does not exceeds 1GB, otherwise the system may hang during startup.
Generally, installing SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 168-Pin PC100 & PC133 SDRAM module looks like.
Figure 2-4
DIMM1 (BANK0+BANK1)
DIMM2 (BANK2+BANK3)
NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.
WARNING! If the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, you must use only PC133compliant DIMMs. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant SDRAM modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your DIMM are not PC133compliant, set the SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system’s stability.
