U

1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket then raise the lever up
to 90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin A in the socket and lock for the white dot or cut edge in
the CPU. Match Pin A with the white dot/cut edge then insert the
CPU.

3. Press the lever down. Then Put the fan on the CPU and buckle it
and put the fan’s power port into the JCFAN1, then to complete the
installation.

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
socket at a 90-degree angle, then
push down vertically so that it will
fit into the place.

3. The Mounting Holes and plastic
tabs should fit over the edge and
hold the DIMM memory modules
in place.

Jumpers, Headers, Connectors & Slots

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), IDE2
(secondary) and IDE3.
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.

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.

Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1 (only support AGP

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.

Communication Network Riser Slot: CNR1

The CNR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture, and it
defines a hardware scalable riser card interface, which supports audio,
network and modem only.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI1-5

This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for
Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for
expansion cards, which has, supplanted the older ISA bus standard in
most ports. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits.
