Production Introduction
1.1 Before you Proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
z Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
z 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
z Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on
them.
z Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
z Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX
power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from
the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

1.2 Motherboard Overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that
the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the
motherboard.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
1.2.1 Placement Direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct
orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in
the image below.
1.2.2 Screw Holes
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the
motherboard.
Place this side towards the rear of the
chassis

1.4 System Memory
1.4.1 DIMM Sockets Location
The motherboard comes with two 200-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) SODIMM sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 200-pin
footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to
prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket. The following figure illustrates the location of
the sockets:
ENX-US15WP
17
Page 18
ENX-US15WP
1.4.2 Memory Configurations
You can install 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs into the SODIMM
sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
z Installing DDR2 DIMM other than the recommended
configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot
failure. Use any of the recommended configurations.
z Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less
than 1 GB system memory when you installed one 1 GB DDR2
memory modules.
z This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips or single-sided x8 memory modules.
Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB
(Front Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB
synchronization table.

Page 19
User’s Manual
1.4.3 Installing a DDR2 DIMM
Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing
DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.
1. Locate the DIMM socket on the board.
2. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, and keep away of touching its
connectors.
3. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.
4. Firmly press the modules into the socket automatically snaps into the mounting notch.
Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one
direction.
z A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one
direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging
the DIMM.
z The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO NOT
install DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM socket.
ENX-US15WP

ENX-US15WP
1.4.4 Removing a DDR2 DIMM
1. Press the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the
DIMM module.
Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the ejector
tabs. The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.

1.5 Jumpers
1.5.1 Clear CMOS (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 onboard 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 CMOS, never remove the cap on CLRTC
jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot
failure!

User’s Manual
This connector is for ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs are designed to fit
this connector in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until
the connectors completely fit.
Important notes on the Motherboard Power Requirements
z Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 5A on
the +12V lead and at least 2A on the +5-volt standby lead
(+5VSB). The minimum recommended wattage is 36W, or 65W
for a fully configured system. The system can become unstable
and might experience difficulty powering up if the power supply is
inadequate.
z You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to
install additional devices.

1.6.11 USB 2.0 Connector (USB34)
This connector is for USB 2.0 ports. Connect the USB/GAME module cable to any of these
connectors, and then install the module to a slot opening at the back of the system chassis.
This USB connector complies with USB 2.0 specification that supports up to 480 Mbps
connection speed.
Never connect a 1394 cable to the USB connectors. Doing so will
damage the motherboard!

BIOS Setup
2.1 BIOS Setup Program
This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the
provided utility. 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 can change the configuration
of your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature
or change 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 on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the
computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del>
during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST
continues with its test routines.
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. Being a menu-driven
program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from
the available options using the navigation keys.
z The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most
conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system
becomes unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the
default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability.
Select the Load Optimized Defaults from the BIOS menu
screen.
z The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference
purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your
screen.
