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. Install The Motherboard
Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow motherboard to be securely
attached on and at the same time, prevented from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the
motherboard to the chassis base:
1. use with studs
2. or use with spacers
In principle, the best way to attach the board is to
use 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.
ATTENTION: 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.

2-2 Chapter 2
2-2. Install Pentium® 4 CPU and Heatsink Supporting-Base
This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion
Force) Socket 478 to install Intel
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 Pentium®
4 Socket 478.
1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the
motherboard. Fasten the Retention Module
Base onto the motherboard.
ATTENTION: If you are using chassis specially
designed for Pentium® 4, please pay attention to
the location of metal studs or spacers if they are
already installed on the chassis. Be careful not let
the metal studs or spacers contact the printed
circuit wire or parts on the PCB.
2. Pull the CPU socket lever sideways away
from the socket and then upwards to 90
degree. Insert the CPU with the correct
orientation. Do not use extra force to insert
CPU; it only fits in one orientation. Close
down the socket lever while holding down
the CPU.
3. Put the heatsink faces down onto the CPU
until it completely covers the CPU.
4. Put the Fan and Retention Mechanism
Assembly onto the heatsink. Make sure all
the four Retention Locks at each side of the
Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly
snap into the Retention Holes.
5. Push down the Retention Lock at both sides
of the Fan and Retention Mechanism
Assembly to lock up together with the
Retention Module Base.
6. The Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly
and Retention Module Base should now
firmly lock up with each other with the heatsink inside.
ATTENTION: Do not forget to set the correct bus frequency and multiple for your processor.

IS7-G/IS7/IS7-E/IS7-M:
This motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR DIMM slots for Single/Dual Channel DDR 400/333/266
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].
• When installing FOUR DIMM modules: Install DIMM modules of the same type and size for
slots [DIMM1]+[DIMM3], and slots [DIMM2]+[DIMM4].

IS7 Series
Hardware Setup 2-5
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.
Do not force the DIMM module in with extra
force as the DIMM module only fit in one direction.
5. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and
then pull out the DIMM module.
ATTENTION: 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.
