Section 5. Installation and Setup

In this section, you will learn how to install the CPU, DDR Module, and also how to set up 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 AMD Athlon 64® Socket-754 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.

These fan headers support cooling fans built in the computer. Orient the fans to make the heat sink fins to allow air flow to go across the onboard heat sinks instead of the expansion slots. The fan wiring and plug may be different according to the fan manufacturer. Connect the fan fable to the connector while matching the black wire to the ground pin.

(1) 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.

BIOSTAR Motherboard

(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/ 133 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: PCI1-3

This motherboard is equipped with 3 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.

(4) Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1

Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard sup-

ports video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an Accelerated

Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology to

improve video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.

(5) Communication Network Riser Slot: CNR1 (optional)

The CNR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture, and it de-

fines a hardware scalable riser card interface, which supports modem only.

(6) Serial ATA Connector: JSATA2/JSATA3/(JSATA1: optional)

The motherboard has a PCI to SAT A Controller with 2 channels ST AT interface.

It satisfies the SATA 1.0 spec and can transfer data with 150 MB/s speed.

* Clear CMOS Procedures:

1. Remove AC power line.

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

3. Wait for five seconds.

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

5. Power on the AC.

6. Reset your desired password or clear the CMOS data.

The motherboard provides one/(two) USB 2.0 Pin Header. USB 2.0 technology

increases Data transfer rate up to a maximum throughput of 480 Mbps, which

is 40 times faster than USB 1.1, and is ideal for connecting high-speed USB

interface peripherals such as USB HDD, digital cameras, MP3 players, printers,

modems, etc.

Introduction

[ W arpSpeederTM ], 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.
