If your mainboard has already been installed in your computer you may still need to
refer to this chapter if you plan to upgrade your system's hardware.
Be sure to disconnect the power cable from the power source before performing
any work on your mainboard, i. e. installing a CPU, memory module,
changing a jumper setting, etc. Not doing so may result in electrical shock!

2-1 Introduction to Jumpers
Jumpers are used to select between various operating modes. A jumper consists of
a row of gold colored pins that protrude from the surface of the mainboard. It is
important not to confuse jumpers with connectors or headers.
Putting jumper caps on anything that is not a jumper may result in damaging
your mainboard. Please refer to Section 1-3, Mainboard Layout, for the
location of jumpers on your mainboard.
As indicated in Figure 2-1 below, a cap is used to cover the pins of a jumper, resulting
in shorting those pins that it covers. If the cap is removed from the top of the pins,
the jumper is left "open." The number 1 shown both in the diagram below and in
all multiple pin jumper and header diagrams in this manual indicates the pin designated
with the number 1. The numbering of the remaining pins follows in sequence.

2-2 Installing an Intel Processor in Slot 1
1. Insert the Intel Pentium II/III/Coppermine/Celeron processor into the retention
mechanism. Press evenly and gently until the snaps on the upper side of the
processor have been inserted into the holes at the top of the retention mechanism.
2. Note that when removing the processor, these snaps should be clicked into a
completely vertical position, leaving your hands free to stabilize the board. Pull
the processor evenly and gently out of the retention mechanism.
3 . Also note that like PCI and ISA slots, Slot 1 has a divider that prevents backwards
insertion of the CPU.
Installing a heat sink with cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation
from your CPU. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and
possible burnout of your CPU.
2-3 Setting Your CPU's Parameters(
SeePU is a new user friendly technology that enables the user to setup a mainboard's
CPU parameters through an easy to use BIOS setup procedure. It is no longer
necessary to make many jumper settings as on conventional mainboards.
1. After installing all your hardware into your PC system, turn on your system's
power. Enter the CMOS Setup Utility by pressing the Delete key when your
BIOS identification screen appears.
2. Move the cursor to SeePU Setup menu and press Enter. Find the CPU Host/PCI
Clock option. Commands for operating the cursor in BIOS are found at the Bottom
of the BIOS screen (Figure 2-2).
3. Use the CPU Host/PCI Clock option to select your CPU's parameters. Set the
clock ratio (also known as external clock multiplier factor) according to your
processor's specifications (See Figure 2-3).
External clock frequency (JP1) must be selected according to you processor.
Failing to set these jumpers may resulted in system not booting. (See Section
2-4)
You do not need to make voltage settings because SeePU automatically
sets your CPU voltage.
4. Press Esc to return to the CMOS Setup Utility, press F10 to Save and Exit Setup
and choose 'Y' to confirm. The system will automatically reboot and during startup
you will see the correct CPU type shown on the screen.

Overclocking
Operating a CPU at a higher frequency than it's specification allows is called
overclocking. If the CPU frequency is set at a higher frequency than it's specification
allows, it may or may not run at that frequency, depending on the quality of your
CPU and the extent to which the frequency has been overset. The mainboard
manufacturer highly discourages overclocking as it may result in data loss, CPU
burnout, system failure, etc.
Many Intel processors are frequency locked processors and are not able to perform
overclocking. Regardless of whether the processor is a frequency locked, overclocking
may cause some processors to hang when turning on the system. When the processor
hangs, the screen remains blank and the system does not boot. To solve this problem,
do the following.
1. Turn off the computer and then press the Home key on your keyboard
2. Turn on your computer, wait for five seconds and then release the Home key.
3. Enter BIOS and reconfigure your CPU parameters as described in this section.

2-4 Connector and Jumper Settings
Connectors are used to link the system board with other parts of the system, including
the power supply, the keyboard, and the various controllers on the front panel of
the system case.
The power supply connector is the last connection to be made while installing a
mainboard. Before connecting the power supply, please make sure it is not
connected to the power source.
ATX Power Supply Connector (CN7)
The power cord leading from the system's power supply
to the external power source must be the very last part
connected when assembling a system.
To support this function, a switching power
supply with a minimum of 750mA 5VSB is
required.
The ATX power supply provides a single 20-pin
connector interface which incorporates standard +/-5V,
+/-12V, optional 3.3V and Soft-power signals. The Softpower signal, a 5V trickle supply is continuously
supplied when AC power is available. When the system
is in the Soft-Off mode, this trickle supply maintains the
system in it's minimum power state.
Power-On By ModemPower-On By Modem
Power-On By Modem
Power-On By ModemPower-On By Modem
While in Soft-off state, if an external modem ring-up signal occurs, the system wakes up
and can be remotely accessed. You may enable this function in BIOS's Power
Management Setup menu.
Poly-fuse Over Current Protection
The poly-fuse protects the system from dangerous voltages the system might be
exposed to via the keyboard or USB connectors. In case of such exposure, the polyfuse will immediately be disconnected from the circuit, just like a normal fuse. After
being disconnected for a certain period of time, the poly-fuse will return to its normal
state, after which the keyboard or USB can function properly again. Unlike
conventional fuses, the poly-fuse does not have to be replaced, relieving the user
wasted time and inconvenience.

A. Over-ride Power Button Connector
The power button on the ATX chassis can be used as a
normal power switch as well as a device to activate
Advanced Power Management Suspend mode. This mode
is used for saving electricity when the computer is not in use
for long periods of time. The Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN
function in BIOS's Power Management Setup menu must be
set to "Delay 4 Sec." to activate this function.
When the Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function is enabled,
pushing the power button rapidly will switch the system to
Suspend mode. Any occurrence of external activities such
as pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse will
bring the system back to Full-On. Pushing the button while
in Full-On mode for more than 4 seconds will switch the
system completely off. See Over-ride Power Button
Operation diagram.

task bar. Select "Shut Down The Computer" and the system turns off. The message "It
is now safe to turn off your computer" will not be shown when using this function.

C. Green Switch/Green LED Connector
Some ATX cases provide a Green switch which is used
to put the system in Suspend mode. In Suspend mode,
the power supply to the system is reduced to a trickle,
the CPU clock is stopped, and the CPU core is in it's
minimum power state. The system is woken up whenever
the keyboard or mouse is touched. The system resumes
in different ways as defined by Power Management
Setup screen in BIOS.
D. System Reset Switch Connector
This connector should be connected to the reset switch
on the front panel of the system case. The reset switch
allows you to restart the system without turning the
power off.

While in Suspend mode, the LED light on the front panel of your computer will flash.
Suspend mode is entered by pressing the Override Power Button, pushing the Green
button on your ATX case, or enabling the Power Management and Suspend Mode
options in BIOS's Power Management menu. (See section 3-4)

per minute). These connectors supports 3-pin cooling
fans with minimum of 3500 RPM. The wiring and plug may

a PC capable of receiving wake up command goes to
sleep, the Magic Packet mode in the LAN controller is
enabled. When the LAN controller receives a Magic
