Section 5. Installation and Setup

In this section, you will learn how to install the CPU, DDR
Module, and also how to set up jumpers and all the information
about the components on the motherboard. Not only can you find
the installation steps, but also the details and locations of the
components on the motherboard.

1. CPU Installation1. CPU Installation

1. CPU Installation

1. CPU Installation1. CPU Installation

The motherboard supports the AMD Athlon 64® Socket-754 processor. When
you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooling fan attached on the right
to prevent overheating. If you do not find the cooling fan, contact your dealer and make
sure to install them before turning on the computer.

Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the

lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should

point towards the lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the cor­rect orientation.

Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever.
Step4: Put the CPU fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan

power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

These fan headers support cooling fans built in the computer. Orient the fans to
make the heat sink fins to allow air flow to go across the onboard heat sinks instead of
the expansion slots. The fan wiring and plug may be different according to the fan
manufacturer. Connect the fan fable to the connector while matching the black wire to
the ground pin.

(1) Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1

The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector that supports

360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector

supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cables.

(2) Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2

The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO

Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/ 66/ 100/ 133 functionality. It has

two HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary).

The IDE connectors can connect a master and a slave drive, so you can connect

up to four hard disk drives. The first hard drive should always be connected to

IDE1.

(3) Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI1-5

This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Pe-

ripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards.

This PCI slot is designed as 32 bits.

(4) Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1

Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard sup-

ports video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an Accelerated

Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology to

improve video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.

(7) IDE-Raid Connector: RAID1/2 (optional)

This connector supports RAID0 or RAID1 or RAID 0+1 configuration through

the onboard Parallel ATA (VT6410) controller chip. You can use the IDE

feature to set up a disk array configuration and to support additional IDE

devices. However, it can only support master mode IDE HDD.

(8) Clear CMOS Jumper: JCMOS1

This jumper helps you to clear the Real Time Clock (R TC) Ram in CMOS. You

can erase the CMOS RTC Ram data to clear the CMOS memory of date, time,

and system setup parameters.
JCMOS1 Assignment

Pin 1-2 Close Normal Operation (default)
Pin 2-3 Close Clear CMOS Data

* Clear CMOS Procedures:

1. Remove AC power line.

2. Set the jumper to "Pin 2-3 Close".

3. Wait for five seconds.

4. Set the jumper to "Pin 1-2 Close".

5. Power on the AC.

6. Reset your desired password or clear the CMOS data.
