CHAPTER 2: HARDW ARE INSTALLATION
2.1 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Step 1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Step 2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. T he white dot/cut edge should
point wards the le v er pi vot. The CPU will fit onl y in the correc t
orientation.
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete
the i nstal la ti on.
Step 4: Put the CP U F an on t he CPU and bu c kl e it. Co nn ect the CPU fan
power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

2.4 CONNECTO RS AND SLOTS
Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1
The motherboard provi des a standard floppy di sk connector that
s uppor t s 360 K, 720 K , 1.2 M, 1. 4 4 M a nd 2.88 M f lo ppy dis k ty pes . This
connector supports the provided floppy dri ve ribbon cables.
Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/IDE2
The motherboard has a 32-bi t Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that
provides PIO Mode 0~5, Bus Master, and Ultra DM A 33/66/100/133
functionality. It has two HDD conn ectors IDE 1 (p rimary) an d IDE2
(secondary).
The IDE connectors can connect a m aster and a slave drive, so you can
connect up to four hard di sk drives. The fi rst hard drive should always be
connected to IDE1.
Peripheral Component Interco nnect Slots: PCI1~PCI3
This motherboard i s equi pped with 3 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for

expansion cards. T his PCI slot i s designated as 32 bits.
Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1
Your monitor wi ll attach directly to that video card. Thi s motherboard
supports video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an
Accelerate d Gra phics P o rt (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage o f
AGP technology for im proved video efficiency and perform ance,
especially with 3D graphics.
Communication Network Riser Slot: CNR1
The CNR specification is an open Ind ustry S tanda rd A rchit ec ture, and it
defi nes a hardware scalable riser card interface, which supports modem
onl y.
Serial ATA Connector : JSATA1/ JSATA2

A. BIOS Update
After you fail to upd ate B IOS or BIOS is invaded by virus, the
Boot-Block functi on wi ll hel p to restore BIOS. If the following message
is shown after boot-up the system, it means the BIOS contents are
corrupted.
In this Case, pl ease foll ow the procedure below to restore the BIOS:
1. Mak e a bo otab le fl op py disk.
2. Download the Fl ash Utility “AWDFLASH.exe” from the Biostar
websi te: www.b iostar.com.tw
3. Confirm motherboard model and download the respectivel y BIOS
fr om Bi os t ar websit e.
4. Copy “AWDFLASH.exe” and respectivel y BIOS into fl oppy di sk.
5. Insert the bootable di sk into floppy drive and press Enter.
6. Syste m will boo-up to DOS p rompt.

M7VIZ-SATA
B. CPU Overheated
If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for
seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.
When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown
automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not
power on again.
In this case, please double check:
1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan is rotated normall y.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
After confirmed, pl ease follow steps below to relief the CPU protection
function.
1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2. W ait for seconds.
3. Plug i n the power cord and boot up the system.
Or you can:
1. Clear the CMOS data.
(See “Close CMOS Header: JCM OS1” section)
2. W ait for seconds.
3. Power on the system again.
