CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1BEFORE YOU START

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

Prepare a dry and stable working environment with sufficient lighting.

Always disconnect the computer from power outlet before operation.

Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.

Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board

on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.

Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.

Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat source, humid air and water.

CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1INSTALLING CENTRAL 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 socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

7

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.

2.2FAN HEADERS

These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan

cable and connector may be different according to the fan manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to

pin#1.

IDE1/IDE2: Hard Disk Connectors

The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that prov ides PIO Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133f unctionality. It has two

HDD connectors: IDE1 (primary ) and IDE2 (secondary ).

The IDE connectors can connect a master and a slav e driv e, so you can connect up to four hard disk drives. The f irst hard drive should always be

connected to IDE1.
