2.2 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install components into the system.

• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.

The motherboard comes with an onboard standby power LED. This LED lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-off mode, and not powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet and make sure that the standby power LED is OFF before installing any system component.

2.4 Removing the cover

To remove the cover:

1. On the rear panel, locate the thumbscrew that secures the cover to the chassis.

2. Turn the thumbscrew counterclockwise unti it gets loose.

The thumbscrew cannot be removed from the chassis.

3. Firmy grip the top handle and push the cover about 1 cm forward.

4. Lift the cover to expose the internal components of your system.

The cover does not completely disengage from the chassis.

When fully open, the cover remains tilted at an angle of about 35º. Do not push down further to prevent damage to the system.

The AGP slot supports AGP 8X (+0.8V) cards and AGP 4X (+1.5V) cards. When you buy an AGP card, make sure that you ask for one with +0.8V or +1.5V specification.

Install only +0.8V or +1.5V AGP cards. The P4P8T motherboard does not support 3.3V AGP cards.

Unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage the motherboard.

2.11 Re-installing the power supply unit

Re-install the power supply unit (PSU) after installing the system components and reconnecting the cables.

To reinstall the PSU:

1. Replace the metal tray. Make sure that the hooks align to their respective grooves.

2. Slide the PSU toward the direction of the rear panel until it fits in place.

3. Connect the power plugs to the connectors on the motherboard. See next page for details.

Make sure that the PSU cables do not interfere with the CPU and/or chassis fans.

Voltage selectorVoltage selector

Voltage selector

Voltage selectorVoltage selector

The PSU has a 115 V/230 V voltage selector switch located beside the power connector. Use this switch to select the appropriate voltage according to the voltage supply in your area.

If the voltage supply in your area is 100-127 V, set the switch to 115 V.

The voltage selector is set to 115 V by default.

If the voltage supply in your area is 200-240 V, set the switch to 230 V.

Setting the switch to 115 V in a 230 V environment will seriously damage the system!

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5-10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

4. Re-install the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE) These connectors are for Ultra DMA 100/66 signal cables. The Ultra

DMA 100/66 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion when you connect the IDE cables.

• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE devices.

NOTE: Orient the red markings (usually zigzag) on the IDE ribbon cable to PIN 1.

4.2 BIOS Setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable Firmware Hub (FWH) that you can update using the provided utility described in section and updating your BIOS.”

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you may want to change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you may want to enable the security password feature or make changes to the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the firmware hub.

The firmware hub stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Delete> during the Power-On Self Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility, otherwise, POST continues with its test routines.

“

4.1 Managing

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various submenus and make your selections among the predetermined choices.

Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the following BIOS setup screens and descriptions are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
