Installing the Processor

Caution: When installing a CPU 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 clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard or its components.

On most mainboards, 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 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 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.

The following processor is 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~1.2 GHz, FSB: 200 MHz

CPU Installation Procedure

The following illustration shows CPU inst allation components:

Note: The pin-1 corner is marked with an arrow

Follow these instructions to install the CPU:

1. Pull the CPU socket locking lever away from the socket to unhook it and raise the locking lever to the upright position.

2. Match the corner on the CPU marked with an arrow with pin A-1 on the CPU socket (the corner with the pinhole noticeably missing). Insert the processor into the socket. Do not use force.

3. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the latch on the edge of the socket.

4. Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.

5. Lower the CPU cooling fan/heatsink assembly onto the CPU

6. Secure the two retention clips on either side of the fan/heatsink unit onto the Socket 462 base.

7. Connect the CPU Cooling Fan power cable connector to the CPUFAN connector.

Note: CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of

CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.

Installing Memory Modules

This mainboard accommodates two 168-pin 3.3V and two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered SDRAM/DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate SDRAM) memory modules.

SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer rate corresponding with the bus 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s 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 install at least one memory module in order to use the mainboard.

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.

3. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the notches in the DI MM slot:

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 mainboard 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 the 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 explai ns 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 su pport UDMA 66/100.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive

1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your system case.

2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1 (A):

Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connector. Each connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a colored stripe on the cable.

3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the hard disk drive IDE connector (B). It doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use.

4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on the hard disk drive (C).

When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect your hard disk drive. If it doesn’t, enter the Setup Utility and use the IDE Hard Disk Auto Detect feature to configure the hard disk drive that you have installed.

Installing a CD-ROM/DVD Drive

1. Install the CD-ROM/DVD drive into the drive cage in your system case.

2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1 (A). If you have already installed an HDD, use the other connector on the IDE cable.

3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the CD-ROM/DVD drive IDE connector (B). It doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use.

4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on the CD-ROM/DVD drive (C).

5. Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD drive to connect to the mainboard CD-in connector CDIN1 or CDIN2 (D).

When you first start up your system, the BIOS should autom atically detect your CD-ROM/DVD drive. If it doesn’t, enter the Setup Utility and configure the CD-ROM/DVD drive that you have installed.

Installing a Floppy Diskette Drive

The mainboard has a floppy diskette drive (FLOPPY) interface and ships with a dis kette drive ribbon cable that supports one or two floppy diskette drives.
