1.2 Motherboard Layout

1-2 IP35 Pro

1.3 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.

1.4 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.

Face the chassis’s rear panel.

1.5 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.

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

SHORT OPEN

1.5.1 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.

• Pins 1 and 2 shorted
(Default): Normal

operation.

• Pins 2 and 3 shorted:
Clear CMOS memory.

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

1. Power off the system.

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

※ Another easy way to clear the CMOS memory can be done by switching

“EZ-CCMOS1”, see the section of “Connecting Rear Panel I/O Devices” in this
manual for detail.

※ The C.C. POST Code appears when either the external “EZ-CCMOS1” switch or

the internal “CCMOS1” jumper is not set to its normal position.

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.

Hardware Setup

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.

1.7 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.

1.7.1 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.

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.

Hardware Setup

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.

6. Lower the plate onto the CPU package.

Engage the load lever while gently pressing
down the load plate.

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

1.7.2 DDR2 Memory Slots

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 requires 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.

1.9 Onboard Indicators and Buttons

1.9.1 POST Code Displayer

This is an LED device to display the “POST” Code, the acronym for Power On Self Test. The
computer will execute the POST action whenever you power on the computer. The POST
process is controlled by the BIOS. It is used to detect the status of the computer’s main
components and peripherals. Each POST Code corresponds to different checkpoints that are
also defined by the BIOS in advance. For example, “memory presence test” is an important
checkpoint and its POST Code is “C1”. When the BIOS execute any POST item, it will write the
corresponding POST Code into the address 80h. If the POST passes, the BIOS will process the
next POST item and write the next POST Code into the address 80h. If the POST fails, we can
check the POST Code in address 80h to find out where the problem lies.

This LED device also displays the “POST” Code of AC2005, an “uGuru” chipset developed
exclusively by abit.

※ The decimal point lights up during the AC2005 POST action.

Hardware Setup

See Appendix for both AWARD and AC2005 POST Code definitions.

2. BIOS Setup

This motherboard provides a programmable EEPROM so that you can update the BIOS utility.
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a program that deals with the basic level of
communication between processor and peripherals. Use the BIOS Setup program only when
installing motherboard, reconfiguring system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This chapter
explains the Setup Utility of BIOS utility.

After powering up the system, the BIOS message appears on the screen, the memory count
begins, and then the following message appears on the screen:

PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP

If this message disappears before you respond, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt>
+ <Del> keys, or by pressing the Reset button on the computer chassis. Only when these two
methods fail should you restart the system by powering it off and then back on.

After pressing <Del> key, the main menu screen appears.
