BATTERY (Battery)
The improper removal of the battery can result in harm. When replacing a battery, please
make sure you use one that is of similar brand and model number.
For information related to battery specifications and precautions, please
refer to the manufacturer instructions.
If you wish to delete the data stored in the CMOS, please follow the steps
below:
1. Please turn off your computer and unplug the power.
2. Remove the battery from the motherboard.
3. Wait 30 seconds and then replace the battery onto the motherboard.
4. Plug in the power supply and turn on your system.
2. Hardware Installation
1. Please make sure that the CPU used is supported by your motherboard.
2. Please be aware of the placement position of the CPU. If the CPU does not
insert properly, do not apply force but check the placement position.
3. Please make sure that an even layer of heat sink paste is added between the
CPU and the fan sink.
4. Please do not turn on the power prior to installing the fan sink. Doing so can
result in overheating and lead to permanent damage to the CPU.
5. Please follow the CPU specifications when setting the frequency. It is not
recommended that system speed settings exceed that of hardware
specifications. If you wish to set your system speed to exceed the recom
mended specifications, please check your hardware specifications eg: CPU,
graphics card, memory, hard drive
English
2.1. Installation of a Socket A CPU and Fan Sink
1
Note the small gold colored triangle on one corner of the CPU.
Place the triangle in the corner closest to the metal lever and
gently insert the CPU into its position.
A Socket A CPU has two indented
corners and these corners must be
properly positioned during installation.
2
When the CPU is inserted into its position, gently press the
metal lever downwards until a click is heard. Then add an
even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and fan sink
for heat dissipation.
9
English
do the same for the clips on the other end of
the fan sink.
2.2. Installation of Memory
The motherboard supports DIMM memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect
memory capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be
inserted only in one direction.
3
Position and
attach the clips
on one end of
the fan sink
firmly atop the
CPU. Please
1. Before installing or removing memory, please make sure that the computer power
is turned off to prevent hardware damage.
2. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard.
3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. The memory can be in
stalled only when facing the correct position. If you cannot insert the module,
please switch directions.
4. It is recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be
used.
1. Unfasten the clips on each end of the memory slots.
Correctly align the memory module in the slot and
push downwards..
4
Connect the 3pin cooler
power connector to the CPU
Fan connector
located on the
motherboard.
2. Once the memory module is correctly inserted, the
clips will automatically refasten. If the memory mod
ule is positioned in the wrong direction, it will not
insert. If this occurs, please switch directions.
2.3. Installation of the Graphics Card
1. Before installing the graphics card, please carefully
read the accompanying user manual. As well, make
sure the computer power is turned off.
2. Your graphics card must be 1.5V and support the
AGP4X specification.
3. When installing or removing the graphics card, first
pull out the white AGP knob before insertion or
removal. Releasing the AGP knob will hold the
graphics card firmly in place.

English
3. BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores all the information of the motherboard settings
that is needed for system initiation within the CMOS. The CMOS SETUP utility allows the user
to make changes in BIOS configurations that are required or to activate certain features.
The CMOS SETUP saves each item configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the required power to
the CMOS SRAM.
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On
Self Test) will bring up the CMOS SETUP screen. If you wish to enter the BIOS setup, please
press "Ctrl + F1" at the BIOS setup screen.
When using BIOS setup for the first time, it is recommended that you save the present BIOS
onto a disk in case you need to reset the BIOS back to its original settings. If you wish to
update to a new BIOS, the "BIOSNow!" can be used.
The user can select "BIOSNow!" as a way to quickly and easily update or back up BIOS
without entering the operating system.
3.1. Setup Screen Features (BIOS version: E6)

ø This section is very dangerous for inexperienced users, and therefore it is not
recommended that these settings be altered. An incorrect setting can result in system
instability, corrupt data, or permanent hardware damage.
n Linear Frequency Control
Allows user to use Linear Frequency Control (default:Disabled)
n CPU Clock (MHz)
If you wish to use this feature, please set the "Linear Frequency Control" to Enabled. If this
feature is disabled, the currently CPU frequency will be displayed.
The CPU Clock can be input between 100MHz to 355MHz.
n DRAM Clock (MHz)
Allows user to adjust the DRAM clock frequency. (default:Auto)
Please note that if the DRAM clock frequency is incorrectly set, the system will be unable
to start. You can use the clear CMOS method to return the system to its default settings.
n AGP Voltage Control
Allows user to set the AGP voltage. (default:Normal)
Please note that by overclocking your system through the increase of the AGP voltage,
system instability or damage to the AGP card may occur.
Options: Normal (automatic setting of AGP voltage at 1.5V)
+0.1V (AGP voltage range)
n DRAM Voltage Control
Allows user to set the DIMM voltage. (default:Normal)
Please note that by overclocking your system through the increase of the DIMM voltage,
damage to the memory may occur.
Options: Normal (automatic setting of DIMM voltage at 2.5V)
+0.1V (DIMM voltage range)

3.9. Top Performance
ø "Top Performance" allows faster system start. However, the result may differ depending
on system specifications (includes hardware and OS). For example, certain hardware
may become unstable under Windows XP but work reliably under the Windows NT
operating system. Thus, select Disabled under "Top Performance" if system hardware is
affected.
3.10. Load Fail-Safe Defaults
ø Use this option to reset your BIOS settings to the system defaults. You should only use
this if you are encountering serious problems.
Please select <Y> and <Enter> to load Fail-Safe defaults. Once this is loaded, your
system may be slowed since this uses a minimal performance setting to allow stable
system running.
3.11. Load Optimized Defaults
ø Like the Fail-Safe mode above, this option loads the BIOS default settings, but runs the
system at optimal performance.
Please select <Y> and <Enter> to load optimized defaults.
3.12. Set User Password
ø Use this to set the password that is needed to either enter into the BIOS or to boot the
system. Entering in a blank field will disable the password.
Please input an 8 character long password and then select Enter. You will be required
to re-enter the password for confirmation. If you wish to remove the need for password
entry, leave the entry blank and then select Enter. BIOS will then display "PASSWORD
DISABLED". Once you have completed the password setting, you will need to go to
"Advanced BIOS Features" and select "Password Check" for setup of password check.
3.13. Save & Exit Setup
ø To save any changes you made to the BIOS you must choose this option. The
system will automatically exit setup and perform a system restart. Pushing <F10> will
have the same effect.
Push <Y> and <Enter> to save and exit setup. If you do not wish to save, select <N> or
<Esc> to return to the main menu.

4. Driver Installation
Driver installation for the Windows 98/98SE/200/ME/XP operating systems is simple. Once
you insert the provided driver disks into your optical drive, the AUTORUN screen will appear.
If this screen does not appear, you can use "D:\setup.exe" (with "D" being the specified drive)
to bring up the screen shown below. Just follow the screen instructions to easily complete
driver installation.
3.14. Exit Without Saving
changes you have made. Pushing <ESC> will have the same effect.
Push <Y> and <Enter> to exit setup. You can return to the main menu by pushing <N> or
<Esc>.
