3.2 Installation You Have to Know

Installing CPU

This socket supports FC-LGA4 package CPU, which is the latest CPU package developed by Intel. Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in. Pull CPU socket lever and plate up.
1. Remove plastic cap from CPU socket plate.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a golden arrow on the CPU upper
interface. Match Pin 1 and golden arrow. Then insert the CPU into the socket.
3. Press down the CPU socket plate and lever to finish CPU installation.
Warning: If you do not match the CP U socket Pin 1 and CPU golden arrow well, you may damage the CPU. And please don’t touch CPU socket pins when installing CPU.
Note: It’s strongly recommended by
Intel to use thermal paste properly to avoid over-heat generated from Prescott CPU .

Installing CPU Fan

1. Gently put down the CPU fan on CPU socket with four sticks aiming correctly to the four mounting holes.

Connecting CPU and System Fans

Plug the CPU fan cable to the 4-pin CPUFAN connector. If you have chassis fan, you can also plug chassis fan in SYSFAN1 or SYSFAN2 connector.

Installing Memory Modules

DIMM slots are designed in Navy Blue and Electronic Blue which are very easy to recognize. Insert the module straight down to the DIMM slot with both hands and press down firmly until the DIMM module is securely in place.

Note: The tabs of the DIMM slot will clip to hold the DIMM in place when the DIMM touches the slot’s bottom.
13

Maximum The Performance of the Dual Channel

To obtain the highest performance of Dual Channel, the configuration of DIMM must meet the following conditions.
Matched DIMM configuration in each channel
Same density (128MB~1GB)
Same DRAM bus width (x8 or x16)
Either single-sided or double-sided
Note: Using memory modules of different chip and density will cause system unstable.
Follow reference table below to insert memory module
DIMM A1 DIMM A2 DIMM B1 DIMM B2 Dual channel
V V Enabled

V V V V Enabled
When dual channel mode is successfully enabled, the screen will show “Dual Channel Mode Enabled” while entering POST screen.

Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables

Connect the 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy connector and IDE connector. Be careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may cause system damage.

Connecting Front Panel Cable

Attach the power LED, speaker and reset switch connectors to the corresponding pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep flashing while the system is in suspend mode.
Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing, which is a 2-pin female connector from the housing front panel. Plug this connector to the soft-power switch connector marked SPWR.
16

Connecting ATX Power Cables

This motherboard comes with a 24-pin and 4-pin ATX power connector as shown below. Make sure you plug them in the right direction. We strongly recommend you to insert the 4-pin connector before connecting the 20-pin connector.
Note: If you don’t have 24-pin ATX power cable, please plug your 20-pin ATX power cable
leftwards into the ATX power connector as shown leftwards.

3.3 Other Installation for Your Reference

Setting CPU Voltage and Frequency

Setting CPU Core Voltage
This motherboard supports Voltage ID (VID) function to detect CPU voltage automatically during power-on and the range is from 0.8375V to 1.6V. It’s not necessary to set CPU core voltage.
Setting CPU Frequency
This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design; you can set CPU frequency by 1MHz stepping CPU Overclocking in the BIOS. CPU Core Frequency = CPU FSB clock x CPU Ratio. However, all CPU now sold in market belong to "Fixed Multiplier". That means users can not adjust the CPU Ratio but change CPU FSB clock to achieve overclocking only.
BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup
(Users will do the overclocking at their own risks!!)
CPU Ratio 8x, 10x… 24x, 25x, 26x, 27x, 28x CPU FSB (Adjustment
manually)

Note: With CPU speed changing rapidly, there might be faster CPU on th
market by the time you received this installation guide. This table is kindly fo your references only.
FSB = 100MHz-400MHz by 1MHz Stepping CPU Overclocking
Note: Some CPU fans do not have sensor pin so that they cannot support fan monitoring.
Warning: Intel 865PE/865G/848P chipset support maximum 800MHz (200MHz*4)
system; higher clock setting may cause seri ous system damage.
