Note: Electros tatic d ischarge (ESD) c an dama ge your pr ocessor, d isk drives, ex pa nsion boar ds , an d other comp on ent s . Always observe t he following prec autions before you install a system component.
1.Do not remove a co mponent fro m its protect ive packag ing until you are ready to ins t a ll it.
2.Wear a wr ist grou nd stra p and attac h it to a met al part of th e syst em unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.

You can clear CMOS to restore sy stem default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the syst em an d un plug 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 1-2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.
Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?
1. Boot fail because of overclocking…
2. Forget password…
3. Troubleshooting…

DDIIMMMM SSoocckkeett
This moth erb oard has three 1 68- pin DIMM socke ts that allow you to install PC133 memory up to
1.5GB. Only SDRAM is supported.
Pin 1
Tip: The driving capability of new generation chipset is limited due to the lack of a memory buffer (to improve performance). This makes DRAM chip count an important factor to take into consideration when you install DIMMs. Unfortunately, there is no way that the BIOS can identify the correct chip count, you need to calculate the chip count by yourself. The
DIMM1 DIMM2 DIMM3
simple rule is: By visual inspection, use only DIMMs which are less than 18 ch ips..

DIMM can be single side or double side, it has 64 bit data and 2 or 4 clock signals. We strongly recommend choosing 4-clock SDRAM for its reliability
Tip: To identify 2-clock and 4-clock DIMM, you may check if there are traces connected to the golden finger pins 79 and 163 of the SDRAM . If th ere are traces, the SDR AM is probably 4-clock; otherwise, it is 2-cloc k .
Tip: To identify single-side or double-side DIMM, check golden finger pin 114 and pin 129. If there are traces connected to pin 114 and pin 129, the DIMM is probably double-side; otherwise, it is single-side.

IDE1 is also k nown as th e primar y channel and IDE2 as th e second ary c hannel. Each chan nel supports two IDE devices that make a total of four devices. In order to work together, the two devices on each channel must be set differently to master and s lav e mod e. E ither on e can b e th e hard disk or the CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode d epends on the jumper on your IDE device, so please refer to your hard disk and CDROM manual accordingly.
Warning: Th e sp ecification of the ID E ca ble is a maximu m of 46cm (18 inches) , make sure your cable does not exceed this length.
Tip: For better signal quality, it is recommended t o set the far end side device to m as ter m ode and follow the suggested sequence to install your new device. Please refer to above di agram.
