one of these processors on the mainboard. The mainboard supports front-side
bus speeds of 266MHz.
This mainboard uses the SiS735 chipset supporting a 4X AGP slot for highly
graphics display, 100/133 MHz DDR/SDR, and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function
to provide outstanding high system performance under all types of system
operations. The mainboard has a built-in AC97 Codec, provides an AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot to support Audio and Modem application, and has a
built-in 10BaseT/100BaseTX Network Interface. In addition, the mainboard
has an extended set of ATX I/O Ports including PS/2 keyboard and mouse
ports, one parallel port, and one serial port. Supports maximum ten USB
ports– four back-panel ports (USB2.0) and onboard USB header JUSB1~3
(USB1.1) providing six extra ports by connecting the Extended USB Module to
the mainboard.
This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful multimedia workstation. The board is ATX size and has power connectors for an ATX
power supply.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard complies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some features on the
mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all
the features required. The mainboard can support one floppy diskette drive
and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient power and
space for all the drives that you intend to install.
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that
the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge
of the mainboard.
This mainboard has an ATX form factor of 30.5 x 22 cm. Choose a case that
accommodates this form factor.
This concludes Chapter 1. The next chapter explains how to install the mainboard.

Installing the Mainboard
SSaaffeettyy PPrreeccaauuttiioonnss
Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:
• W ear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid
damage from static electricity.
• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely
grounded object before working on the mainboard.
• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in.
• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the mainboard
in a case:
This illustration shows an example of a mainboard being
installed in a tower-type case:
Note: Do not overtighten
the screws as this
can stress the mainboard.
Most system cases have
mounting brackets i nstalled in
the case, which correspond to
the holes in the mainboard.
Place the mainboard over the
mounting brackets and secure
the mainboard onto the mount ing brackets with screws.
2. Secure the mainboard with
screws where approp ria t e .
1. Place the mainboard
over the mounting brackets.
Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and
expansion slots on your mainboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the mainboard.
Setting Jumpers
Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with
more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.
The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper.
When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the
jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just
one pin, the jumper is OPE N.

This illustration shows a 3-pin
jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

Checking Jumper Settings
The following illustration shows the location of the mainboard jumpers. Pin 1 is
labeled.

Jumper Type Description Setting (default)
JP1 3-pin Clear CMOS
jumper
JP1: Clear CMOS Jumper
Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You may need to
clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup Utility are incorrect and
prevent your mainboard from operating. 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.

3. If there is a cooling
fan installed in the
system chassis,
connect the cable
from the cooling fan to
the SYSFAN fan
power connector on
the mainboard.
4. Connect the case
