This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: El ectrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and
other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a
component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit t hroughout any
rocedure requiring ESD protection.

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.
2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.
3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pins 1 & pin2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

CPU socket.
1. Pull CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree
angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 on the socket and look for a black
dot or cut edge on the CPU upper left. Matc h Pin

This jumper is used to specify the relationship of PCI and FSB clock. Generally speaking, if you are not overclockers, we
recommend you to set at the default setting. You can adjust CPU FSB frequency via BIOS setup program. Based on the CPU type,
the adjustment range has two levels: 100~132 (FSB=100, such as Athlon® B), 133~166 (FSB=133, such as Athlon® C) MHz for your
choosing.

The DDR SDRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the SDRAM and the data buffers at 100 or 133MHz. The two
184-pin sockets, four banks of DDR SDRAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M/2M4M/8M/16M/32M/64MxN SDRAM
with maximum up to 2GB. Besides, this motherboard is equipped with two 168-pin SDRAM sockets that allow you to install PC100
or PC133 memory and can go up to 2 GB as well. When you install both DDR and SDRAM modules, the SDRAM will be
automatically detected first; however, we strongly recommend you not to install both of them at the same time.
Warning: AK76D supports both DDR
SDRAM and SDRAM, please do not install
the SDRAM on the DDR SDRAM sockets
and vice versa. Otherwise, it will cause
serious damage on memory sockets or
SDRAM module.
