*The list shown above for DRAM configuration is only for reference.
Note: 1. Don't stuff or remove the DIMM memory, if the LED1 is
lighting.
2. When you’re using single- sided memory on DIMM4, you
must use single-sided memory on DIMM3. If you use
double-sided memory on DIMM3, please do not insert any
memory on DIMM4 and vice versa.

1.4.2 How to install a DIMM Module
1. The DIMM socket has a “ Plastic
Safety Tab” and the DIMM memory
module has an asymmetrical notch”,
so the DIMM memory module can
only fit into the slot in one direction.
2. Push the tabs out. Insert the DIMM
memory modules into the s ocket at a
90-degree angle then push down
vertically so that it will fit into place.
3. The Mounting Holes and plastic
tabs should fi t over the edge and hold
the DIMM memory modules in place.

1.5.1 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot
Unlike the mouse ports, keyboard ports and printer ports this motherboard does not
have built in video facilities and therefore requires a video card for one of the
expansion slots. Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This
motherboard supports video cards for PCI and ISA slots but 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.

An offboard sp eak er can be installed on the motherboard as a manufacturing op tion.
An offboard speaker can be connected to the motherboard at the front panel
connector. The speaker (onboard or offboard) provides error beep code information
during the P ower On Self-Test when t he comput er cann ot use th e vid eo interface.
The speaker is not connected to the audio subsystem and does not receive output
from the audio subsystem.

Reset Button
This connector can b e attached to a moment ary S PS T swi tch. This switch is usually
open and when closed will cause the motherboard to reset and run the POST
(Power On Self Test).
Power LED Connector
This connector ca n be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer c ase.
The LED will illuminate while the computer is powered on.
HDD LED (Hard Drive LED Connector)
This connector ca n be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer c ase.
The LED will flicker du ring disk activity. T his disk activity on ly applies t o those
IDE drives directly attached to the system board.
IrDA (Infrared Connector)
This connector is used to attach to an infrared sensing device. After the IrDA
interface is con figured, connecti onless data transfer to and from portab le devices
such as laptops, PDAs is possible.
Sleep Button (Green Button)
This connector is used to conserve energy by powering down the monitor and the
hard disk when not in use. To configure this option, you need to connect a button
from the front panel to this connector. Depressing th e button will power down the
monitor and hard drives until the system is invoked by any keyboard activity,
mouse activity, modem activity or when the sleep button is depressed again. APM
(Advanced Power Ma na gement) must be enabled in th e syst em BI OS an d th e APM
driver must be loaded.
Power Button
This connector c an b e atta ched to a fr ont panel power switch. T he sw itch must pu ll
the Power Button pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to
switch on or off. (The time required is du e to internal d ebounce circuitry on t he
system board). At least two seconds must pass before the power supply will
recognize another on/off signal.

1.6.2 ATX 20-pin Power Connector: JATXPWR1
This connector supports the power button on-board. Using the ATX power
supply, function such as Soft Power Off is supported on this motherboard. This
power connector supports instant power-on functionality, which means that the
system will boot up instantly when the power connector is inserted on the board.

1.6.5 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, Ultra DMA / 66,Ultra DMA / 100
functionality. It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary).
You can connect up to four hard disk drives, a CD-ROM, a 120MB Floppy
(reserved for future BIOS) and other devices to IDE1 and IDE2. These
connecto rs suppo r t the I D E hard disk ca bl e pro v ide d.
• IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a
Master and a Slav e drive. You must conf igure the second har d drive on IDE1 to
Slave mode by setting the jumper accordingly.
• IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
The IDE2 controller can also support a Master and a Slave drive. The configuration
is similar to IDE1. The second drive on this controller must be set to slave mode.
1.6.6 Floppy Disk Connector: FDC1
The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector (FDC) that supports
360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports
the provide d fl o ppy dri v e ribbo n c ables.
