CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Special Notice:

Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.

Pin Cap

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 black cut edge on socket, and the white dot on CPU should point wards this black cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 2-1:

10

P4M80-M7 & P4M80-M7A

Step 2-2:

Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation.

Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU FAN power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

2.2FAN HEADERS

These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan wiring and plug may be different according to the fan manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to pin#1.

P4M80-M7 & P4M80-M7A

2.3MEMORY MODULE INSTALLATION

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

Note:

To assure the system safety, if you need to change DDR modules, firstly, please unplug the 20-pin power cable with the power connector, and then you can change the modules. Afterwards, plug in the cable the power connector again, and finally you can boot up the system.

P4M80-M7 & P4M80-M7A

2.4CONNECTORS AND SLOTS

FDD1: Floppy Disk Connector

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.

IDE1/IDE2: Hard Disk Connectors

The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO Mode 0~5, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/ 66/ 100 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.

PCI1~PCI3: Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots

This motherboard is equipped with 3 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.

AGP1: Accelerated Graphics Port Slot

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.

CNR1: Communication Network Riser Slot

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

JSATA1/JSATA2: Serial ATA Connectors

The motherboard has a PCI to SATA Controller with 2 channels SATA interface, it satisfies the SATA 1.0 spec and with transfer rate of 1.5Gb/s.
