Reset Switch
Supporting the reset function requires connecting pin 5 and 7 to a momentary-contact
switch that is normally open. When the switch is closed, the board resets and runs POST.
Power Switch
Supporting the power on/off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a momentarycontact switch that is normally open. The switch should maintain contact for at least 50 ms
to signal the power supply to switch on or off. The time requirement is due to internal debounce circuitry. After receiving a power on/off signal, at least two seconds elapses before
the power supply recognizes another on/off signal.
Installing Hardware
Installing the Processor
Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that
you DO NOT scratch the motherboard or any of the surface-mount
resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan
scrapes across the motherboard, you may cause serious damage to the
motherboard or its components.
On most motherboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the
processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly
installed.
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips.
Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly
see the motherboard and processor socket.
Installing the Motherboard
Before installing the Processor
This motherboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus
frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these settings by making changes
to jumpers on the motherboard, or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We
strongly recommend that you do not over-clock processors or other components to run
faster than their rated speed.
Warning: Over-clocking components can adversely affect the reliability of
the system and introduce errors into your system. Over-clocking can
permanently damage the motherboard by generating excess heat in
components that are run beyond the rated limits.
This motherboard has a Socket 478 processor socket. When choosing a processor, consider
the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design,
the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal
cache memory and external cache memory.
CPU Installation Procedure
The following illustration shows CPU installation components.
1Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away from the
socket and lift up to 90-degree angle.
2Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with the pin
hold noticeably missing). Align and insert the CPU
correctly.
3Press the lever down and apply thermal grease on
top of the CPU.
4Put the CPU Fan down on the retention module and
snap the four retention legs of the cooling fan into
place.
5Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place and
connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to the
CPUFAN connector. This completes the installation.

cycles) before the DRAM starts a read command after receiving it.
•RAS Active Time (tRAS) (6T): This item allows you to set the amount of time
a RAS can be kept open for multiple accesses. High figures will improve

•RAS Precharge Time (tRP) (3T)This is the duration of the time interval
during which the Row Address Strobe signal to a DRAM is held low during
normal Read and Write Cycles. This is the munimum interval between completing one read or write and starting another from the same (non-page mode)
DRAM. T echniques such as memory interleaving, or use of Page Mode DRAM
are often used to avoid this delay. Some chipsets require this parameter in
order to set up the memory configuration properly. The RAS Precharge value
is typically about the same as the RAM Access (data read/write) time.
•RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD) (3T): This is the amount of time a CAS is performed after a RAS. This lower the better, but some DRAM does not support
low figures.

About the Software CD-ROM
The support software CD-ROM that is included in the motherboard package contains all the
drivers and utility programs needed to properly run the bundled products. Below you can find
a brief description of each software program, and the location for your motherboard
version. More information on some programs is available in a README file, located in the
same directory as the software.
Never try to install all software from folfer that is not specified for use with your
motherboard.
Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for files named README.TXT,
INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may contain important information that
is not included in this manual.
Auto-installing under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
The Auto-install CD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers and software for your
motherboard.
If the Auto-install CD-ROM does not work on your system, you can still install
drivers through the file manager for your OS (for example, Windows Explorer). Refer to the Utility Folder Installation Notes later in this chapter.
