Chapter 1. Getting Started

Introduction

Congratulations on choosing the KI51PV-754 Mainboard. It is based on the nVIDIA® nForce4 C51PV Northbridge chipset and the nVIDIA possessing integrated graphics feature. The mainboard supports the AMD Athlon Sempron

nForce4 MCP51 Southbridge chipset; with

64/

processor (The power consumption for the aforementioned processors must be rated at 65W or less.) socket 754 with FSB (Front Side Bus) frequencies of 800 MHz (1600 MT/s).

The KI51PV-754 provides one DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Modules) socket. It allows you installing 184-pin, non-ECC and unbuffered DDR400 (PC3200)/ DDR333 (2700) SDRAM which supports a total memory capacity of 1GB.

The mainboard provides one PCI slot for use with a graphics card or expansion cards which the interfaces are compatible.

The KI51PV-754 provides one floppy disk drive connector that can be used with 360KB/ 720KB/1.2MB/1.44MB/2.88MB drives. It also has two IDE connectors for hard drives supporting Ultra ATA 66/100/133. In addition, the onboard Serial ATA II comes with four SATA II connectors, which each interface can provide up to3 Gbps transfer rate and also support RAID 0/ 1/ 0+1/ JBOD/ 5 mode (See Appendix II).

Moreover, the KI51PV-754 provides onboard I/O facilities such as one VGA connector (=D-Sub connector), one DVI connector, and a maximum of eight USB 2.0/ 1.1 ports that can be set. Four headers are also available on this mainboard for a TV OUT connector, a printer connector, and two COM connectors to be set externally with cables and used additionally.

The onboard AC’ 97 audio codec supports high quality 6-channel audio play (Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effect) (See Appendix I) and supports the Sony/Philips Digital Interfaces (SPDIF) specifications (Optional).

This mainboard also comes with one onboard 10/100 Mbps and the other built-in 1 Gbps Ethernet LAN chips. There are two LAN ports on the back panel of your computer case that you can directly plug into an Internet cable.

In addition, this mainboard supports the ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) card (Optional), which is a small circuit board inserted onto the mainboard providing full backup BIOS functionality in case of BIOS failure or damage during the BIOS flash (See Appendix III).

Hardware Installation

This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage your system components.

CPU Processor Installation

This mainboard supports AMD AthlonTM 64/ SempronTM processor using Socket 754. Before building your system, we suggest you visit the AMD website and review the processor installation procedures. http://www.amd.com

CPU Socket 754 Configuration Steps:

1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the locking lever away from the

socket. Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.]

2. On the socket, locate the corner which has the “diagonally cut-corner” on the rectangular

shaped pattern of pinholes (see diagram below-left). Match that corner with the “gold triangle” on the CPU (see diagram below-right) and lower the CPU onto the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.

Diagonally Cut-corner

3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.

4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the

clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and insert it onto the “CPUFAN” adapter.

Attention DO NOT touch the CPU pins in case they are damaged. Also, make sure

that you have completed all installation steps before powered on the system. Finally, double-check that the cooling fan is properly installed and the CPU fan power cord is securely attached, in case your CPU and other sensitive components are damaged because of high temperatures.

Mainboard KI51PV-754

FAN Headers: CPUFAN, CHASFAN

There are two fan headers available for cooling fans. The cooling fans play an important role in maintaining ambient temperatures in your system. The CPUFAN header is attached with a CPU cooling fan. The CHASFAN header is attached with other cooling fans.

Memory Installation: DIMM1

CPUFAN/ CHASFAN

Attention You can avoid damaging your CPU due to high temperatures with

proper cooling equipment. It is recommended that attach a cooling fan on top of your CPU. Use the CPUFAN header to attach the fan cord.

On most fan power cord, the black wire of the fan cable is the “ground” and should be attached to pin-1 of the header.

The KI51PV-754 provides one DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Modules) socket. It allows you to install 184-pin, non-ECC & unbuffered DDR400 (PC3200)/ DDR333 (PC2700) SDRAM that supports a total memory capacity of 1GB.

Memory Setup Steps:

1. Pull the white plastic tabs at both ends of the socket away.

Mainboard KI51PV-754

2. Align a memory on the socket such that the notch on the memory matches the break on the

socket.

3. Lower the memory vertically into the socket and press firmly by using both thumbs until the

memory snaps into place.

4. Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 for the remaining memory and DIMM sockets setup.

Audio Ports: Sound

This mainboard provides three audio ports, the Mic-in, Line-in and Line-out. These are the standard audio ports that provide basic audio function.

Line-In (Blue)

This port is for audio input and connects to external audio devices such as CD player, tape player, etc. When the Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effect is enabled, this port will output audio for the rear speakers.

Line-Out (Green)

This port is an output audio port used for connecting to speakers or a headset. When the Super

5.1 Channel Audio Effect is enabled, this port will output audio for the front speakers.

Mic-In (Pink)

This port is for connecting to a microphone. When the Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effect is enabled, this port will output audio for your subwoofer/center speakers.

Connectors

Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDC

This mainboard supports Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effect, and you can transfer 2-channel to 6-channel audio by using a SPDIF Card (Optional) to enable 6 speaker audio. See Appendix I for more information.

The mainboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector (FDC) that supports 360KB/ 720KB/1.2MB/1.44MB/2.88MB floppy disk drives using a FDD ribbon cable.

Hard disk drive Connectors: IDE1/IDE2

The mainboard provides two IDE connectors that support Ultra ATA 66/100/133 IDE devices. You can attach a maximum of four IDE devices, such as hard disk drive (HDD), CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc. using IDE ribbon cables.

Primary IDE Connector: IDE1

In general, two IDE devices can be attached onto one IDE connector. If you attach two IDE HDDs, you must configure one drive as the master and the other one as the slave.

Secondary IDE Connector: IDE2

The IDE2 connector can also be attached with two IDE HDDs, and remember to configure one drive as the Master and the other one as the Slave as well. In addition, it is recommended that attach the optical devices such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc. onto this IDE2 connector.

Mainboard KI51PV-754

SATA II Connector: SATA1/SATA2/SATA3/SATA4
