Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity may damage this mainboard’s components. Take
the following precautions while unpacking the mainboard and
installing it in a system.
1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
2. During installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If
you don’t have a wrist strap, you can discharge static
electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During
installation, put the mainboard on top of the static-protection
packaging that comes in with the component side facing up.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect the mainboard whether there are any damanges to the
components and connectors on the board.
2. If the mainboard seems damaged to you, please do not connect
power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor and
show where the damages are.

Mainboard Installation
To install this mainboard in a system, follow these procedures:
Identify the mainboard components
Install a CPU
Install one system memory modules
Verify that any jumpers or switches are set correctly
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case)
Connect any extension brackets or cables to connecting
headers on the mainboard
Install other devices and make the appropriate connections to
the mainboard connecting headers.
Note:
1. Before installing this mainboard, make sure jumper JBAT1 is
under Normal setting. See this chapter for information about
locating JBAT1 and the setting options.
2. Never connect power to the system during installation;
otherwise, it may damage the mainboard.

Mainboard Components
The following diagram helps you to identify mainboard’s major
components.
Note: Any jumpers on your mainboard that do not appear in
this illustration are for testing only.

DIMM1
Install Memory
The mainboard has one DIMM socket for system memory modules.
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V unbuffered PC100
or PC133 SDRAM memory modules. You can install any size
memory module from 8 MB to 256 MB, and the maximum
memory size is 256 MB.
The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs, which
coincide with spacers in the DIMM socket so that memory
modules can only be installed in the correct orientation.
To install a module, push the retaining latches at either end of the
socket outwards. Position the memory module correctly and insert
it into the DIMM socket. Press the module down into the socket so
that the retaining latches rotate up and secure the module in place
by fitting into notches on the edge of the module.

Setting Jumper Switches
Jumpers are sets of pins which can be connected together with
jumper caps. The jumper caps change the mainboard’s operating
way by changing the electronic circuits on the mainboard. If a
jumper cap connects two pins, we say the pins are SHORT. If a
jumper cap is removed from two pins, the pins are OPEN.
Jumper JBAT1: Clear CMOS Memory
Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if incorrect settings in the
Setup Utility and preventing your mainboard from operation. To
clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from the
mainboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR setting
for a few seconds.
