CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNI T (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remo v e Pin Cap before installation, and m ake goo d preservation
for future use. When the CPU is remov ed, cov er the Pin Cap on the
empty so cket to ensure pin legs won’ t be damag ed.
Pin Cap
Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise
the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Motherboard Manual
Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on
CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will
fit only in the correct orientation.
Step 2-1:
Step 2-2:
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked
position to complete the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it
on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

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 normally.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection
function.
1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2. Wait for seconds.
3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.

CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™
5.1 INTRODUCTION
[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three
user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage
Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they
prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The
Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core
vol tag e an d Me mory v ol ta ge. The co o l Har dware Mo nitor s mar t ly in d icat es
the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset
information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,
memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
s how n on our ma in pan el .
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results in system fail or hang,
[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the system stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either the
original system speed or a suitable one.
5.2 SYSTEM REQUI REMENT
OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system
includes DirectX 8.1. If you use Windows XP, you do not need to install
D ir ectX 8. 1.)

Note :
Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide
these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the
correlative button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere
other panels’ functions. This property can make [W arpSpeeder™]
