HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This section gives you a step-by-step procedure on how to install you system. Follow each
sectiion 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 JP19 at pin 2-3 for few seconds.
3. Set JP19 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.

Static Precautions
Static electricity can be a serious damage to the electronic components on this motherboard.
To avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
- Don’t 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.

2-3 System Memory Installation
There are 3 pieces 168-pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) sockets on the motherboard
which support SDRAM and EDO DRAM meory.
♦ To ensure reliability, it is recommended to use PC 100 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 supported: 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB.
♦ Total Memory Size = DIMM1 + DIMM2 + DIMM3, maximum up to 768MB.

3-4 Chipset Feature Setup
This item allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the chipset.
This chipset manages bus speed and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM
and external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus
and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered.The default
settings have been chosen because they provide you the best operating conditions for your
system. The only time you might consider making any changes if you discovered that the datas
were being lost while control your system.
