Note in the illustration that the CPU and the terminator have marks (usually a notch
or a gold mark on one corner) to help you identify the proper orientation and enable
you to correctly install them. It is important that you match the marked corner of the
CPU and terminator with the corresponding corner on the socket so as not to damage
the CPU pins.

WARNING! If you are installing this motherboard into a 1U system,you must

use a specially designed heatsink qualified for critical environments. Failure to
do so will cause the CPU to overheat and may damage both the CPU and the
motherboard.

Proceed to the next section for the steps on how to properly install the CPU and the
specially designed heatsink for the 1U system.

3.7.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally , an IRQ must be exclusively
assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them
are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If the motherboard has PCI
audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If the motherboard also has MIDI
enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.

The following table lists the default IRQ assignments for standard PC devices. Use this
table when configuring your system and for resolving IRQ conflicts.

ISA Interrupt (IRQ) Assignments

ISA INT Priority Standard Function

ISA 00 1 System Timer
ISA 01 2 Keyboard Controller

ISA 02 N/A Programmable Interrupt

3.8.2 Internal Connectors

WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are

clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper
caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard.

IMPORTANT: Always connect ribbon cables such that the red stripe matches

Pin 1 on the connector . Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector
on hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on
floppy disk drives.

1) Primary/Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1 pin IDE1/IDE2)

These connectors support UltraDMA/33 IDE hard disks. Use IDE ribbon cables
to connect the master and slave devices to these connectors. If you install two
hard disks, 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.
BIOS supports specific device bootup (see 4.6. Boot Menu).

NOTE: Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole
on the UltraDMA cable connector . This prevents incorrect orientation when
you connect the cables.

TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon
cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary
IDE connector.
