How to s e t u p Jumper
The illustrat ion sho ws how t o set up a jumper. W h en the Jumper c ap is plac ed on pins, t he
jumper is “close”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustratio n shows a 3-pin jum per whos e pin 1 and 2 are “c lose” when jumper cap is placed
on thes e 2 pins .
Jumper open Jum per close Pin1-2 close
CPU Installation
Step1: Pull the lever sideway s away from the socket and then raise the lev er up to a
90 -degree angl e.
Step2: Look for t he white dot/cut edge. The whit e dot/cut edge should point towards the
lev er pivot. The C PU will f it only in the c orrect orient ation.
Step3: Hold the CPU down fir mly, an d then cl ose the lever to complete the installation.
Step4: Put the CPU Fan on the C PU and buckle it. Connect the C PU fan power cable to
the JC F AN1. Then the installat ion is complet ed.

Jumpers, Headers, Connectors & Slots
Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1
The mot herboard provides a standard f loppy disk connector that supports 360K,
720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the
prov ided f loppy drive ribbon cables .
Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2
The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO
Mode 0~4, Block Mode, Bus Master, and U ltra D MA 33/ 66/ 100/ 133 funct ionality.
It has two HD D connect ors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (sec ondary).
The ID E c onnectors can c onnect a master and a slav e driv e, so you c an c onnect
up to four hard disk drives . The f irst hard drive s hould alway s be c onnected t o
IDE1.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI 1-5
This m ot herboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI s lots. PCI st ands for Peripheral
Component I nterconnec t, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards. This PCI
slot is des ignated as 32 bits.
Accelerate d Graphics Port Slot: AGP1
Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard supports
video cards f or PC I s lots, but it is als o equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP). An AGP card will t ake adv antage of AGP t echnology f or improved v ideo
efficiency and perform ance, es pecially with 3D graphics.
Serial ATA Co nnector: JSATA1/ JSATA2 (O ptional )
The mot herboard has a PCI to SATA C ontroller with 2 channels SATA interf ace, it
satisfies the SATA 1.0 spec and can transf er data wit h 1. 5 Gb/s speed.
1234567
JSA TA1/ JSATA2
Note: 1. When p lu gging SA TA HDD on JSATA1 connector, SATA BIOS will
automatical ly detect as channel 1.
2. When p lu ggin g S ATA HDD on JSATA2 connector, SATA BIOS will
automatical ly detect as channel 0.

including Ov erclock Manager, Ov ervoltage Manager, and H ardware Monit or.
Wit h the Overc lock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they prefer or they c an
get t he best CPU perf ormanc e wit h jus t one click . The Ov ervoltage Manager, on the other
hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware
Monitor smartly indic ates the t emperatures, volt age and CPU f an speed as well as the
chips et inform at ion. Also, in t he About panel, you c an get det ail des c ript ions about BI OS
model and chipsets. In addition, t he frequency status of CPU, m emory, AGP and PCI
along with t he C PU s peed are synchronic ally shown on our main panel.
Moreov er, to protect users' c om puter sy s tems if the s etting is not appropriate when testing
and results in system f ail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] technology assures the system
st ability by automat ically reboot in g t he com puter and then restart t o a speed that is either
the original sys t em speed or a s uit able one.
