How to setup Jumper

The illustration show s how jum pers are s etup. When the Jumper cap i s place d on pin s, the
jumper is “close”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin 1and 2 are “close” when jumper cap is placed
on these 2 pins.

Jumper close Jumper open Pin1-2 close

CPU Installation

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.

DDR DIMM Modules: DIMMB1-2, DIMMA1

For Dual-channel DDR (128-bit) high performance, at least 2 or more

DIMM modules must be installed. (It has to be the combination of
DIMMA and DIMMB.) With only one DIMM installed, the memory
performs only at 64- bit.

DRAM Access Time: 2.5V Unbuffered DDR 266/333/400 MHz Type required.

Installing DDR Module

1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the
retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the slot
such that the notch on the DIMM matches the
break on the slot.

2. Insert the DIMM firmly and vertically into the slot
until the retaining chip snap back in place and the
Dimm is properly seated.

Jumpers, Headers, Connectors & Slots

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.

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.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI 1-5

This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards. This PCI
slot is designated as 32 bits.

Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1

Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard supports
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 for improved video
efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.

Serial ATA Connector: JSATA1/ JSATA2

The motherboard has a PCI to SATA Controller with 2 channels SATA interface.
It satisfies the SATA 1.0 spec and can transfer data with 150Mb/s speed.
