Hard Drive Activity LED
Connecting pins 1 and 3 to a front panel mounted LED provides visual indica­tion that data is being read from or written to the hard drive. For the LED to function properly, an IDE drive should be connected to the onboard IDE inter­face. The LED will also show activity for devices connected to the SCSI (hard drive activity LED) connector.
Power / Sleep / Message Waiting LED
Connecting pins 2 and 4 to a single- or dual-color, front panel mounted LED provides power on/off, sleep, and message waiting indication.
Reset Switch
Supporting the reset function requires connecting pins 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 momentary-contact 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 the Processor

Caution: When install i ng a CP U heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface-mount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the cli p of the cool ing fan scrapes across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard or its components.
On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resi stors 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-l i t work area so that you can clearly see the mainboard and processor socket.
Before installing the Processor
This mainboard 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 mainboard, or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.
Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can per­manently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits.
This mainboard has a Socket 462 processor socket. When choosing a p roc­essor, 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.
The following processors are currently supported by this mainboard.
Athlon XP: 1500+~2000+, FSB: 266 MHz Athlon: 650 MHz~1.4 GHz, FSB: 200 MHz, 266 MHz Duron: 550 MHz~ 1.3GHz, FSB: 200 MHz

7. Connect the CPU Cooling Fan power cable connector to the CPUFAN connector.
Notes:
To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that
you use a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at l east.
CPU fan and heatsink inst al lation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink suppl i ed. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.

Installing Memory Modules

The mainboard has two 168-pin/184-pin DIMM sockets for SDRAM/DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM system memory modules.
DDR SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and
2.1 GBps by transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin
2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs used by SDRAM.
Installation Procedure
You must instal l at least one memory module in order to use the m ai n­board.
Note: You cannot use DDR
SDRAM and SDRAM simultaneously.
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
2. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly.

4. Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the DIMM.
5. Install any remaining DIMM modules.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM

This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive and a CD-ROM drive.
About IDE Devices
Your mainboar d has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and IDE2). An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the main­board.
If you want to install more than two IDE devices, get a second IDE cable and you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel.
IDE devices have jumpers or switches that are used to set t he IDE device as MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user’s manual. When installing two IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains how to do this.
About UltraDMA
This mainboard supports UltraDMA 66/100. UDMA is a technology that accel­erates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize performance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE ca­bles that support UDMA 66/100.
13

Using BIOS

AAbboouutt tthhee SSeettuupp UUttiilliittyy
The computer uses the latest AMI BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the mainboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the mainboard BIOS.
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system's configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:
Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
Video display type and display options
Password protection from unauthorized use
Power management features
The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Be­fore using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.
This chapter provides explanations for Setup Utility options.

The Standard Configuration

A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However, we recommend that you read this chapter in case you need to make any changes in the future.
This Setup Utility should be used:
when changing the system configuration
when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to
make changes to the Setup Utility
when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts
when making changes to the Power Management configuration
when changing the password or making other changes to the Secu-
rity Setup

Running the Setup Utility

Each time your computer starts, before the operating system loads, a mes­sage appears on the screen that prompts you to “Hit <DEL> if you want to run SETUP”. When you see this message, press the Delete key and the Main menu page of the Setup Utility appears on your monitor.
