1.1 BEFORE
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.

NSTALLING 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.

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.

PT890 775
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.

4.4 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,

drive, can be booted from optical drive.
System only boots from optical drive.
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.
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.
1. Back up data and applications
files.
2. Reformat the hard drive.
Re-install applications and data
using backup disks.
Review system’s equipment. Make sure
correct information is in setup.
1. Set master/slave jumpers
correctly.
2. Run SETUP program and select
correct drive types. Call the drive
manufacturers for compatibility

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.)

button.
24
Usage:
The following figures are just only for reference, the screen printed in
this user manual will change according to your motherboard on hand.
5.4 WARPSPEEDER™
1. Tray Icon:
Whenever the Tray Icon utility is launched, it will display a little tray
icon on the right side of Windows Taskbar.
This utility is responsible for conveniently invoking [WarpSpeeder™]
Utility. You can use the mouse by clicking the left button in order to
invoke [WarpSpeeder™] directly from the little tray icon or you can
right-click the little tray icon to pop up a popup menu as following
figure. The “Launch Utility” item in the popup menu has the same
function as mouse left-click on tray icon and “Exit” item will close
Tray Icon utility if selected.

provide user the ability to do real-time overclock adjustment.
Warning:
Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the
overclocking percentage is over 110 %. We strongly recommend you
verify every speed you overclock by click the Verify button. Or, you can
just click Auto overclock button and let [WarpSpeeder™] automatically
gets the best result for you.
b. “Recovery Dialog button”: Pop up the following dialog. Let user select
a restoring way if system need to do a fail-safe reboot.
