ZIF SOCKET

Plug the processor into this socket.

Make sure the cpu is correctly aligned

before you insert it.

A T POWER SUPPLY

CONNECTOR

Plug the dual connectors from the

power supply directly into the board

connectors. On most power supplies,

you must orient the black (ground)

wires such that all the black wires on

both connectors are in the middle.

A TX POWER SUPPLY

CONNECTOR

Plug the single 20 pin connector into

the board connector. It should only fit

in one direction.

A T STYLE KEYBOARD

CONNECTOR

Plug a standard 5-pin female DIN key-

board connector into this port.

PS/2 MOUSE CONNECTOR

Plug a PS/2 mouse connector into

this port.

PS/2 MOUSE HEADER

Use this when you want to relocate

the PS/2 mouse connector plug off the

mainboard

PM-9800 MAINBOARD MANUAL

BE SURE YOU KNOW WHA T YOU ARE DOING!

•It’s easy to get overly excited about your purchase, and to jump right into installing the

system board into your case. T oo many times, people fail to read the manual or insist on

installing it themselves, only to find out later that they’ve permanently damaged their

motherboard and as well as their components. Though this manual will make installation

seem like a fairly simple procedure, it is not. So, if you’re not a technophile or have little

or no computer knowledge, consider asking your vendor or a trained technician to install

this board.

SET SW1, SW2, SW3 TO CONFIGURE THE BOARD FOR YOUR CPU

•It’s fairly easy to forget a jumper or two, so before you power on your system, make sure

to check & double check your settings so that you don’t prematurely burn out your CPU.

INSERT THE CPU INTO THE ZIF SOCKET

•Pull up the handle and insert the CPU with the dotted corner aligned with the corner of the

ZIF socket that looks like its missing a pinhole. Plug it in and pull down on the handle.

INSTALL YOUR MEMORY INTO THE CORRECT SOCKETS

•Insert your memory into the corresponding DIMM or SIMM sockets. Follow the instruc-

tions outlined in the memory section of this manual.

INST ALL THE MAINBOARD ONT O THE SYSTEM CHASSIS

•Make sure the mainboard is properly grounded and mounted into the case. T ake time to

do this properly as it makes the installation of your cards and cables easier.

CONNECT AND INST ALL YOUR CARDS & I/O CABLES

•Be sure your cables and cards are properly oriented and plugged in firmly. See the helpful

hint page for tips on connecting your i/o cables.

CONNECT YOUR CASE LED & SWITCH CABLES TO THE BOARD

CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLES TO THE BOARD

•See the mainboard diagram page for tips on connecting your power cables.

POWER ON AND GO INTO BIOS AND SETUP YOUR SYSTEM

•Press <del> during memory check phase of POST and see the BIOS setup pages of this

manual for more details on setting up your system’s configuration. If you get a blank

screen, refer to the troubleshooting section for some tips on solving this problem.

GET YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM UP AND RUNNING

•Bootup your OS and see if the board and all your peripherals are recognized and working.
