CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE 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. The white dot/cut edge should
point wards the lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct
orientation.
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.
2.2 FAN 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.

2.3 MEMORY 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.

2.4 CONNECTORS AND SLOTS
Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1
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.
Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/IDE2
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.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI 1~3
This motherboard is equipped with 5 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.
Xtreme Graphics Port Slot: XGP1
This XGP (Extreme Graphics Port) slot is a special design that only
supports compatible AGP VGA cards.
To install the system with an add-on AGP VGA card, please make sure
to install the driver of add-on AGP VGA card before onboard VGA
driver installation. If the onboard VGA driver has already been installed
before you install the add-on AGP VGA card, the system will
automatically set the onboard VGA as the primary graphics adapter.
For the onboard VGA driver can’t be removed completely, and to solve
this problem, please follow the steps below,
1. Disable onboard VGA utility under the operating system, and reboot
PC. After PC restarts, the system will automatically set the AGP
VGA card as the graphics adapter. Or,
2. Re-install your operating system to ensure the AGP VGA card
function can be used.
Note:
Please go to “http://www.biostar.com.tw
about XGP compatible AGP cards.

beeps
High-low siren sound
One Short beep when system
boot-up
Long beeps every other second No DRAM detected or install
4.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
Probable Solution
1. No power to the system at all
Power light don’t illuminate, fan
inside power supply does not
turn on.
2. Indicator light on keyboard does
not turn on.
System inoperative. Keyboard lights
are on, power indicator lights are lit,
and hard drive is spinning.
System does not boot from hard disk
drive, can be booted from CD-ROM
drive.
System only boots from CD-ROM.
Hard disk can be read and
applications can be used but booting
from hard disk is impossible.
Screen message says “Invalid
Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”
Cannot boot system after installing
second hard drive.
Video card not found or video card
memory bad
CPU overheated, system will shut
down automatically
No error found during POST
1. Make sure power cable is
securely plugged in.
2. Replace cable.
3. Contact technical support.
Using even pressure on both ends of
the DIMM, press down firmly until the
module snaps into place.
1. Check cable running from disk to
disk controller board. Make sure
both ends are securely plugged
in; check the drive type in the
standard CMOS setup.
2. Backing up the hard drive is
extremely important. All hard
disks are capable of breaking
down at any time.
Back up data and applications files.
Reformat the hard drive. Re-install
applications and data using backup
disks.
Review system’s equipment. Make
sure correct information is in setup.
Set master/slave jumpers correctly.
Run SETUP program and select
correct drive types. Call the drive
manufacturers for compatibility with
other drives.

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
voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates
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 shown on our
main panel.
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 REQUIREMENT
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 DirectX 8.1.)
