This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard. This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.

Note: Electrostatic 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 throughout any procedure requiring

ESD protection.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may notice that some of the functions are marked as

“User Upgrade Optional” or “Manufacture Upgrade Optional”. Although all of AOpen’s motherboards have included many amazing and

powerful features, sometimes not every user is familiar with these powerful features. As a result of this we define features that can be

upgraded by users as “User Upgrade Optional”. You can upgrade these functions by purchasing additional devices. As for functions that

cannot be upgraded by users, we define them as “Manufacture Upgrade Optional”. If need be, you can contact our local distributors or

resellers to purchase “Manufacture Upgrade Optional” components, and again you are also welcome to visit our official website at

www.aopen.com

Warning: SIS 651 chipset support maximum 400MHz

(100MHz*4) / 533MHz (133MHz*4) system bus and

66MHz AGP clock; higher clock setting may cause

serious system damage.

Note: Since the latest processor, Northwood,

would detect the clock ratio automatically,

you may not be able to adjust the clock ratio

in BIOS manually.

Please follow the procedure as shown below to finish memory installation.

1. Make sure the DIMM module’s pin face down and match the socket’s size as depicted below.

2. Insert the module straight down to the DIMM slot with both hands and press down firmly until the DIMM module is securely in place.

3. Repeat step 2 to finish additional DIMM modules installation.
