HARDWARE INSTALLATION

This section gives you a step-by-step procedure on how to install your
system. Follow each section accordingly.

2-1 Jumper Settings

Please refer the following figures for the locations of the jumpers on the
mainboard.

2-1.1 CMOS Clear Setting

To clear CMOS, please follow the steps below:

1. Power off the system and unplug the chassis AC power cord.

2. Short JP6 at pin 2-3 for few seconds.

3. Set JP6 back to its Normal position at pin 1-2.

4. Plug the AC power cord to the chassis.

5. Power on the system and load the BIOS setup default.

ILA USER'S MANUAL 2-1

II.HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2-1.2 CPU Type Setting

Auto CPU Type Setting:

This mainboard supports jumperless CPU type setting, no jumper or switch is
needed. The CPU Clock Radio of socket PGA370 Celeron CPU is fix (locked),
all you need to do for CPU Type setting is load “BIOS Setup Defaults” values
to set CPU Clock Frequency at default 66MHz. Then the CPU Type will be
automatically detected by BIOS.

Manual CPU Type Setting:

This mainboard also supports CPU over-clocking by adjusting the CPU Clock
Frequency under “CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP” IN bios Setup.

System Frequency = CPU Clock Radio x CPU Clock Frequency

The available CPU Clock Frequency setting are: 66/68.5/75.0/83.3MHz

Warning: Normally, Intel 440EX/LX Chipset supports 66MHz CPU Clock
Frequency, the other CPU Clock Frequency 75.0/83.3MHz are available only
for internal test or end-user over-clocking testing, which may cause your
system unstable or serious damage.

2-1.3 Power Supply Type

The mainboard supports two kinds of system power supply, AT (P8&P9) and
ATX. For AT power supply, set JP2 at pin 2-3 to use power switch/button to
power on your system. For power supply, set JP2 at pin1-2 and you can
enable or disable KB/PS/2 mouse power on under BIOS Setup/Integrated

2-2 ILA USER’S MANUAL
