3-1. CPU Socket 478 Configuration Steps:

CPU Fan

CPU

1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin A in the socket and look for the white dot or cut edge in the CPU. Match Pin A with the white dot/cut edge then insert the CPU.

3. Press the lever down. Then Put the fan on the CPU and buckle it and put the fan’s power port into the JCFAN1, then to complete the installation.

SPK (Speaker Connector)

An offboard speaker can be installed on the motherboard as a manufacturing option. An offboard speaker can be connected to the motherboard at the front panel connector. The speaker (onboard or offboard) provides error beep code information during the Power On Self-Test when the computer cannot use the video interface. The speaker is not connected to the audio subsystem and does not receive output from the audio subsystem.

RST (Reset Button)

This connector can be attached to a momentary SPST switch. This switch is usually open and when closed will cause the motherboard to reset and run the POST (Power On Self Test).

POWER

POW-LED (Power LED Connector)

This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer case. The LED will illuminate while the computer is powered on.

HLED (Hard Drive LED Connector)

This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer case. The LED will flicker during disk activity. This disk activity only applies to those IDE drives directly attached to the system board.

IR (Infrared Connector)

This connector is used to attach to an infrared sensing device. After the IrDA interface is configured, connectionless data transfer to and from portable devices such as laptops, PDAs is possible.

SLP (Sleep/Green Button)

This connector is used to conserve energy by powering down the monitor and the hard disk when not in use. To configure this option, you need to connect a button from the front panel to this connector. Depressing the button will power down the monitor and hard drives until the system is invoked by any keyboard activity, mouse activity, modem activity or when the sleep button is depressed again. APM (Advanced Power Management) must be enabled in the system BIOS and the APM driver must be loaded.

ON/OFF (Power Button)

This connector can be attached to a front panel power switch. The switch must pull the Power Button pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off. (The time required is due to internal debounce circuitry on the system board). At least two seconds must pass before the power supply will recognize another on/off signal.

4-3. Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/IDE2

This mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA / 33, Ultra DMA / 66,Ultra DMA / 100 functionality. It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary).

• IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)

The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a Master and a Slave drive. You must configure the second hard drive on IDE1 to Slave mode by setting the jumper accordingly.

• IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)

The IDE2 controller can also support a Master and a Slave drive. The configuration is similar to IDE1. The second drive on this controller must be set to slave mode.

4-4. Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1

The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector (FDC) that supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cables.
