Section 6. Installation and Setup

This section will guide you through the installation of the CPU, DDR Module, and also jumpers, and all the information about the components on the motherboard. Not only can you find the installation steps, but also the details and locations of the components on the motherboard.

1. CPU Installation1. CPU Installation

1. CPU Installation

1. CPU Installation1. CPU Installation

The motherboard supports the Intel Pentium® Socket-478 processor. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooling fan attached on the right to prevent overheating. If you do not find the cooling fan, contact your dealer and make sure to install them before turning on the computer.

Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the

lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should

point towards the lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.

Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever. Step4: Put the CPU fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan

power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

(2) Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2

The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO Mode 0~4, 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.

(3) Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI1-5

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 designed as 32 bits.

This jumper helps you to clear the Real Time Clock (R TC) Ram in CMOS. You can erase the CMOS RTC Ram data to clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters.

JCMOS1 Assignment Pin 1-2 Close Normal Operation (default)

Pin 2-3 Close Clear CMOS Data

* Clear CMOS Procedures:

1. Remove AC power line.

2. Set the jumper to "Pin 2-3 Close".

3. W ait for five seconds.

4. Set the jumper to "Pin 1-2 Close".

Section 7. Trouble Shooting

PROBABLE

No power to the system at all; power light doesn't illuminate; fan inside power supply does not turn on. 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, but it 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."

SOLUTION

* Make sure power cable is securely

plugged in.* Replace cable.

* Contact technical support.

* Using even pressure on both ends of

the DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps back in places.

* 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.

* 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.
