CPU socket lever

CPU Pin 1 and cut edge

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge. Then insert the CPU into the socket.

3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.

Note: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it may damage the CPU.

2. Installing CPU & Housing Fan

Plug in the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPU FAN (P1_FAN & P2_FAN) connector and housing fan cable to the System Fan (S1_FAN & S2_FAN) connector.

Setting CPU Core Voltage This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically

detected and the range is from 1.05V to 1.825V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core Voltage

Setting CPU Frequency

This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the BIOS setup, no jumpers or switches are needed.

BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio

CPU Ratio CPU FSB

6. Install DIMM Modules

This motherboard has three 168-pin DIMM sockets that allow you to install PC100 o

PC133 memory up to 3GB. The DX34-U / DX34 Plus-U supports not only SDRAM but

also ECC or Re

istered DRAM.

7. Connecting ATX and AGP Pro Power Connector

The DX34-U / DX34 Plus-U uses standard ATX power connector. The 6-pin AGP Pro Power connector provides extra +5V and +3.3V power for AGP Pro VGA card. Make sure you plug in the right direction.

8. Redundant SPS Monitoring Connector

This motherboard implements Redundant SPS monitoring connector to provide hardware monitoring signals. It is feasible to install an additional 337-watt power supply module (optional with AOpen Server Housing) in a hot swappable configuration. If any SPS failed, a signal will be sent to a hardware monitoring device.

15. Support 10/100 Mbps LAN onboard

The South Bridge VIA 686B includes a fast Ethernet controller on chip. On the strength of Intel 82559 PHY on board, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use, the Ethernet RJ45 connector is located on the back panel. The green LED indicates the link mode, it lights when linking to network and blinking when transferring data. The orange LED indicates the transfer mode, and it lights when data is transferring in 100Mbps mode. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust it through BIOS.

The JP3/JP3X allows you to enable or disable the on-board SCSI Channel A and B terminator control function. The SCSI Channel A is controlled by JP3; the Channel B is controlled by JP3X.

Part Number and Serial Number

If you encounter any trouble to boot you system, follow the procedures accordingly to resolve the problem.

Turn off the power and unplug the AC power cable, th en remove all of the addon cards and cables, including VGA, ID E, FDD, COM1, COM2 and Printer.

Make sure if the jumper settings for CPU and DRAMs are correct.

Install the VGA card. Then connect your monitor and keyboard.

Start

Clear CMOS.

Turn on the power, and check if the power supply and CPU fan

work properly.

Check if there is display.

Yes

The problem was probably caused by power supply or motherboard failure. Please contact your r eselle or local distributor for repairing.

Perhaps your VGA card o r monitor is defective.

The Part Number and Serial number are printed on bar code label. You can find this bar code label on the outside packing, on ISA/CPU slot or on component side of PCB. Fo example:

Part No.

Serial No.

P/N: 91.88110.201 is part number, S/N: 91949378KN73 is serial number.

Press Ctrl, and Alt key at the

same time, hold them and then

press Del to see if the

stem reboots.

During system rebooting, press Del to enter BIOS Setup. Choose “Load Setup Default".

Turn off the system and

re-connect the IDE cable.

Check if the system can

reboot successfully.

Re-install Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT.

End

Yes

It is very possible that your keyboard is defective.

The problem should be caused by the IDE cables or HDD itself.
