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 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.

Front Panel Header

The front panel header (PANEL1) provides a standard set of switch and LED headers commonly found on ATX or Micro ATX cases. Refer to the table below for information:

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 SATA (hard drive activity LED) connector.

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.

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.

This motherboard has a Socket 939 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.

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.

Installing the Motherboard

1 Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away from the

socket and lift up to 90-degree angle.

2 Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with the pin

hold noticeably missing). Align and insert the CPU correctly.

3 Press the lever down and apply thermal grease on

top of the CPU.

4 Put the CPU Fan down on the retention module and

snap the four retention legs of the cooling fan into place.

5 Flip 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.

CPU Installation Procedure

The following illustration shows CPU installation components.

To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at least. 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 the Motherboard

Installing Memory Modules

This motherboard accommodates four memory modules. It can support four 184-pin unbuffered DIMM, DDR 400/333/266. The maximum memory capacity is 4GB.

DDR SDRAM memory module table

You must install at least one module in any of the two slots. Each module can be installed

with 256MB to 1GB of memory. Based on Dual DDR structure, when only one DDR

SDRAM DIMM is available, please insert it to DIMM1 slot, rather than DIMM2 slot, in case that the system may not boot.

Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.

Installation Procedure

Refer to the following to install the memory modules.

1 This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR SDRAM . 2 Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down. 3 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.

Using BIOS

About the Setup Utility

The computer uses the latest Award BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the motherboard 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 St andard 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 Security Setup

Entering the Setup Utility

When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

Updating the BIOS

You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the manufacturer’s Web site. New BIOS provides support for new peripherals, improvements in performance, or fixes for known bugs. Install new BIOS as follows:

1 If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to allow

BIOS flashing. 2 If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Advanced

BIOS features, disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents BIOS from being

overwritten. 3 Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for information

on creating a bootable system disk.) 4 Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer’s Web

site. Copy these files to the system diskette you created in Step 3. 5 Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your

computer’s diskette drive. (Y ou might need to run the Setup Utility and change

the boot priority items on the Advanced BIOS Features Setup page, to force

your computer to boot from the floppy diskette drive first.) 6 At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and press <Enter>. 7 Type the filename of the new BIOS in the “File Name to Program” text box.

Follow the onscreen directions to update the motherboard BIOS. 8 When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from the diskette

drive and restart your computer . If your motherboard has a Flash BIOS jumper ,

reset the jumper to protect the newly installed BIOS from being overwritten.
