Chapter 2
Hardware Installation

This chapter gives you a step-by-step procedure on how to install your system and
set jumper. The motherboard has several user-adjustable jumpers on the board that

allow you to configure your system to suit your requirements.

Cautions!! P rotecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent
static electricity damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you
touch any ofyour motherboard electronic components, such as the microproces­sor. Observe the following precautions:

- Do not removes the motherboard from its anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install it into a computer case.

- Before you handle the motherboard in any way, touch a grounded, antistatic
surface, such as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds
to discharge any built-up static electricity.

- Handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting bracket.

Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Each jumper on the
board has several metal pins with each pin representing a different function. A “1”
is written besides pin 1 on jumpers with several pins. To set a jumper, a plastic cap
containing metal contactor is placed over the jumper pins according to the required
configuration. A jumper is said to be shorted when the plastic cap has been placed
on two pins of it.The types of jumpers used in this manual are shown below:

The CPU module resides in the socket 370 on the motherboard.Please following the
steps introduced below to complete the CPU installation.

1) Locate the new processor you are installing over the socket so that the notched

corner on the processor (pin 1) can be aligned with the blank corner on the
socket. Then gently push the processor straight into the socket until its pins
are completely inserted into the holes of the socket.

Caution:

If you install the processor chip in the wrong orientation, you may burn the
chip and void your warranty. So you should install it careful deeply.

2) Press the ZIF handle back to close it.

3) Attach the heat sink to the processor socket and then connect a fan connector

cable from the CPU fan to the CPU fan connector.

Caution !!

We don’t recommend user to try overclock, it may damage your CPU and
result in a slower speed. Please think carefully before you use overclock
function.

We introduce you how to clear CMOS, and enter into system BIOS, it could help
you accomplish CPU setting in BIOS easyly.

To Clear CMOS, please follow the steps below:

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

2. Short JP1 at pin 2-3 for few seconds.

3. Set JP1 back to its Normal position at pin1-2

4. Plug the AC power cord to the chassis.

5. Power on the system and load the BIOS set up default.

System Memory InstallationSystem Memory Installation

There are 1 piece 168-pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) sockets on the
motherboard which support SDRAM and EDO DRAM memory.

♦ To ensure reliability, it is recommended to use PC 100 SDRAM or PC 133

SDRAM for your high clock SDRAM performance requirement.

♦ If you are using low clock SDRAMs, you should set the SDRAM clock

option of the BIOS’s Chipset Feature Setup to HCLK-33 to ensure stability.

♦ DIMM Sizes support: 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB.

There is 1x168-pin DIMM slots
(DIMM1) that allow you to install
the system memory max up to 256 MB
SDRAM.

Hardware Installation

1. Install DIMM

1) After remove the cover, install the DIMM in the sockets marked with
DIMM2, if the DIMM has been installed in the DIMM1 socket. Release the
plastic retaining clips at each end of the socket by pressing the clips outward
until they snap open.

2) Orient a DIMM to the socket so the two notches in the DIMM connector are
aligned with the crossbars in the socket.

3) Press the DIMM straight into the socket until the retaining clips snap into place
around the ends of the DIMM.

2 Removing a Memory Module

To remove memory modules, press the retaining clips outward simultaneously
until the DIMM disengages from the socket and then carefully remove the
DIMM from the socket.

This section describes how to connect an expansion card to one of your system’s
expansion slots. Expansion cards are printed circuit boards that, when connected to
the mainboard, increase the capabilities of your system.VMZV7 only include
two PCI slots.

Caution:

Adjust any switches or jumpers on the expansion card, if necessary. When you
handle the card, be careful not to touch any components on the circuit board or the

IRQs Activity Monitoring

The following is a list of IRQ’s, interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted much as
the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the
attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When
the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and per­forms the service.

When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power
management mode nor awaken it.

To reduce the occurrence of electromagneticinterference (EMI), the BIOS detects
the presence or absence of components in DIMM and PCI slots and turns off
system clock generator pulses to empty slots.
The optional are: Enabled(Default), Disabled

Spread Spectrum

when the system clock generator pulses, the extreme values of the pulse generate

excess EMI. Enabling pulse spectrum spread modulation changes the extreme
values from spikes to flat curves, thus reducing EMI. This benefit may in some
cases be out weighedby problemswith timing-critical devices, such as a clock­sensitive SCSI device.
