1.2 Choosing a Computer Chassis

• Choose a chassis big enough to install this motherboard.

• As some features for this motherboard are implemented by

cabling connectors on the motherboard to indicators and switches
or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis supports all the
features required.

• If there is a possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make
sure your chassis has sufficient power and space for them.

• Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear
panel. Make sure the I/O shield of the chassis matches the I/O
port configuration of this motherboard. You can find an I/O shield
specifically designed for this motherboard in its package.

1.3 Installing Motherboard

Most computer chassis
have a base with many
mounting holes to allow
the motherboard to be
securely attached, and at
the same time, prevent
the system from short
circuits. There are two
ways to attach the
motherboard to the
chassis base: (1) with
studs, or (2) with spacers.

Basically, the best way to attach the board is with studs. Only if you are
unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Line up the
holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes
line up and there are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs.
If the holes line up and there are only slots, you can only attach with
spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After
doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned

with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure
everything is OK before putting the chassis back on.

※

Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power
cord before adding or removing any peripheral or
component. Failing to so may cause severe damage to your
motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord
only after you have carefully checked everything.

To install this motherboard:

1. Locate all the screw holes on the motherboard and the chassis
base.

2. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have
them tightened.

3. Face the motherboard’s I/O ports toward the chassis’s rear panel.

4. Line up all the motherboard’s screw holes with those studs or
spacers on the chassis.

5. Install the motherboard with screws and have them tightened.

※

To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the
metal studs or spacers if they are already fastened on the
chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the
motherboard to align with.

This side faces the

chassis’s rear panel.

1.4 Checking Jumper Settings

For a 2-pin jumper, plug the jumper cap on both pins will make it
CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the jumper cap, or plug it on either pin
(reserved for future use) will leave it at OPEN position.

SHORT

For a 3-pin jumper, pin 1~2 or pin 2~3 can be shorted by plugging the
jumper cap in.

Pin 1~2 SHORT

OPEN

1.4.1 CMOS Memory Clearing Header and Backup Battery

The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a) the CMOS data
becomes corrupted, (b) you forgot the supervisor or user password
preset in the BIOS menu, (c) you are unable to boot-up the system
because the CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu, or (d)
whenever there is modification on the CPU or memory modules.

This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory and have it
reconfigured to the default values stored in BIOS.

IL9 Pro/IL9 Pro-V 3

Pin 2~3 SHORT

OPEN

• Pins 2 and 3 shorted (Default): Normal operation.

• Pins 1 and 2 shorted: Clear CMOS memory.

To clear the CMOS memory and load in the default values:

1. Power off the system.

2. Set pin 1 and pin 2 shorted by the jumper cap. Wait for a few
seconds. Set the jumper cap back to its default settings --- pin 2
and pin 3 shorted.

3. Power on the system.

4. For incorrect CPU ratio/clock settings in the BIOS, press <Del> key
to enter the BIOS setup menu right after powering on system.

5. Set the CPU operating speed back to its default or an appropriate
value.

6. Save and exit the BIOS setup menu.

CMOS Backup Battery:

An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS
information stays on even after disconnected your system with power
source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after some five

years. Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED”
or “CMOS checksum error” displays on monitor, this backup battery
is no longer functional and has to be renewed.

To renew the backup battery:

1. Power off the system and disconnect with AC power source.

2. Remove the exhausted battery.

3. Insert a new CR2032 or equivalent battery. Pay attention to its
polarity. The “+” side is its positive polarity.

4. Connect AC power source and power on the system.

5. Enter the BIOS setup menu. Reconfigure the setup parameters if
necessary.

CAUTION:

※

Danger of explosion may arise if the battery is incorrectly
renewed.

※

Renew only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the battery manufacturer.

※

Dispose of used batteries according to the battery
manufacturer’s instructions.

1.5 Connecting Chassis Components

1.5.1 ATX Power Connectors

These connectors provide the connection from an ATX power supply. As
the plugs from the power supply fit in only one orientation, find the
correct one and push firmly down into these connectors.

ATX 24-Pin Power Connector:

The power supply with 20-pin or 24-pin cables can both be connected
to this 24-pin connector. Connect from pin-1 for either type. However, a
20-pin power supply may cause the system unstable or even
unbootable for the sake of insufficient electricity. A minimum power of
300W or higher is recommended.

ATX 12V 4-Pin Power Connector:

This connector supplies power to CPU. The system will not start without
connecting power to this one.

Auxiliary 12V Power Connector:

This connector provides an auxiliary power source for devices added on
PCI Express slots.

1.6 Installing Hardware

※

DO NOT scratch the motherboard when installing hardware.
An accidental scratch of a tiny surface-mount component
may seriously damage the motherboard.

※

In order to protect the contact pins, please pay attention to
these notices:

1. A maximum 20 cycles of CPU installation is
recommended.

2. Never touch the contact pins with fingers or any object.

3. Always put on the cap when the CPU is not in use.

1.6.1 CPU Socket 775

※

The installation procedures vary with different types of CPU
fan-and-heatsink assembly. The one shown here is served
for demo only. For detailed information on how to install
the one you bought, refer to its installation guidelines.

1. Place the board so that
the lever-hook of the
socket is on your left
side. Use your left thumb
and forefinger to hold
the lever hook, pull it
away from the retention
tab. Rotate the lever to
fully open position.

2. Use your right-thumb to
raise the load plate. Lift
it up to fully open
position.

3. Use your right thumb
and forefinger to grasp
the CPU package. Be
sure to grasp on the
edge of the substrate,
and face the Pin-1
indicator toward the
bottom-left side. Aim at
the socket and place the
CPU package vertical
down into the socket.

4. Visually inspect if the
CPU is seated well into
the socket. The
alignment key must be
located in the notch of
package.

6 IL9 Pro/IL9 Pro-V

5. Use your left hand to
hold the load plate, and
use your right thumb to
peel the cap off.

The cap plays an

※

important role in
protecting contact pins.
In order to prevent bent
pin, PUT ON the cap after
operation or testing.

8. Place the heatsink and
fan assembly onto the
socket. Align the four
fasteners toward the
four mounting holes on
the motherboard.

6. Lower the plate onto the
CPU package. Engage
the load lever while
gently pressing down the
load plate.

9. Press each of the four
fasteners down into the
mounting holes. Rotate
the fastener clock-wise

power plug from the
heatsink and fan
assembly to the CPU FAN
connector.

※

A higher fan speed will be helpful for better airflow and
heat-dissipation. Nevertheless, stay alert to not touch any
heatsink since a high temperature generated by the
working system is still possible.

IL9 Pro/IL9 Pro-V 7

1.6.2 DDR2 Memory Slots

Both [DIMM2] and [DIMM4] slots appear in model IL9 Pro only.

※

To reach the performance of Dual Channel DDR2, the following rules
must be obeyed:

• For a 2-DIMM dual-channel installation:
Populate DIMM modules of the same type and size on slots
[DIMM1]+[DIMM3], or slots [DIMM2]+[DIMM4].

• For a 4-DIMM dual-channel installation:
Populate 2 DIMM modules of the same type and size on slots
[DIMM1]+[DIMM3], and another 2 DIMM modules of the same
type and size on slots [DIMM2]+[DIMM4].

※

[DIMM1] and [DIMM3] slots are made of the same color.
[DIMM2] and [DIMM4] are made of another same color.

※

Usually there is no hardware or BIOS setup required after
adding or removing memory modules, but you will have to
clear the CMOS memory first if any memory module related
problem occurs.

To install system memory:

1. Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before
installing or removing memory modules.

2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.

3. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away from
touching its connectors.

4. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.

5. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both
sides of the slot automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not
force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module
only fits in one direction.

6. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the
slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.

※

Static electricity can damage the electronic components of
the computer or optional boards. Before starting these
procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly.

4.3 Troubleshooting (How to Get

Technical Support?)

4.3.1 Q & A

Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my

new computer system?

A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard.

Please move the CMOS jumper from its default 2-3 position to 1-2 for a few seconds, and
then back. When you boot up your system for the first time, follow the instructions in the
user's manual to load the optimized defaults.

Q: If my system hangs when I update the BIOS or set the wrong CPU parameters,

what should I do?

A: Whenever you update the BIOS or if the system hangs due to wrong CPU parameters

setting, always clear CMOS jumper before booting up again.

Q: Why does the system fail to boot up again right after a mechanical power-off?

A: Please keep a 30-second interval between each mechanical power On/Off.

Q: Why does the system fail to boot up and nothing displays on the screen after I

did some over-clocking or non-standard settings inside the BIOS?

A: It should not cause hardware or permanent damage to motherboard when BIOS settings

were changed from default to over-clocking or non-standard status.
We suggest the following three troubleshooting methods to discharge CMOS data, recover

the hardware default status, and then making the motherboard work again. There is no
need to bother returning the motherboard to where you bought it from or go through an
RMA process.
Step 1. Switch off the power supply unit and then switch it on again after one minute.

If there is no power-switch on the power supply unit, disconnect its power cord
for one minute and then reconnect.
Press and hold the <Insert> key on the keyboard, and press the power-on
button to boot up system. If it works, release the <Insert> key and hit <Del>
key to enter the BIOS setup page to apply the correct settings.

If the situation remains the same, repeat the procedures in Step 1 three times,
or try Step 2.

Step 2. Switch off the power supply unit or disconnect the power cord. Open the

chassis cover. Locate the CCMOS jumper near the button battery. Change the
jumper position from default 2-3 to 1-2 for one minute to discharge the CMOS
data, and then put it back to default 2-3 position.

Close the chassis and switch on the power supply unit or plug in the power cord.
Press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works, hit <Del> key to
enter the BIOS setup page to do the correct settings.

If the situation remains the same, try Step 3.

Step 3. The same procedure as Step 2, but while discharging the CMOS data, pull out

the ATX power connectors from motherboard and remove the button battery
during CMOS discharge.

Q: How to get a quick response for my request on technical support?
A: Please carry out a simple troubleshooting before sending “Technical Support Form”:

System boot-up fails after the system had been assembled:

Check the motherboard’s supporting specifications first to see if all the key components
attached in your system can meet.

To do so, you may:

• Remove all the unnecessary add-on devices (except the CPU, VGA card, DRAM, and

Power Supply), and then reboot.

• If the trouble still exists, try another VGA card of different brand/model to see if the

system will start.

• If the trouble still exists, try another memory module of different brand/model.

• If the trouble still exists, try another CPU and Power Supply.

If the system runs successfully, shut it down and start re-installing the interface cards and
devices that were previously installed in the system. Re-install and start the system one at
a time until the system won’t start.

Malfunction in the OS:

If the system hangs after resuming from S3 or some testing program, if the CPU cannot
be recognized properly, if the display resolution mixed, or if a certain program cannot be
executed, etc, you may:

• Upgrade the motherboard’s latest BIOS version.

• Upgrade the add-on device’s latest driver version.

• Check if there is any conflict in the “Control Panel/System Properties”.
