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: Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Hardware Installation

Set Jumpers:Set Jumpers:

Set Jumpers:

Set Jumpers:Set Jumpers:

Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Some jumpers on the

board have three metal pins with each pin representing a different function.A 1 is

written besides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. To set a jumper, a black cap containing

metal contacts is placed over the jumper pin/s according to the required configuration. A

jumper is said to be shorted when the black cap has been placed on one or two of its

pins. The types of jumpers used in this manual are shown below:

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static

damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your

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.

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.

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

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.

System Memory InstallationSystem Memory Installation

There are 3 pieces 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 supported: 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB. ♦ Total Memory Size = DIMM1 + DIMM2 + DIMM3, maximum up to 768MB.

There are 3x168-pin DIMM slots (DIMM1, DIMM2, DIMM3) that allow you to install the system memory max up to 768MB 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.

Install Expansion CardsInstall Expansion Cards

Install Expansion CardsInstall Expansion Cards

This section describes how to connect an expansion card to one of your systems expan-

sion slots. Expansion cards are printed circuit boards that, when connected to the

mainboard, increase the capabilities of your system.VXZ features two PCI bus, one AGP

bus and one AMR bus expansion slots.

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.

2-9 2-10

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 gold-edged

connector.

1) After removing the cover, insert a flat blade screwdriver into a hole of the slot

cover you wish to remove.

2) Move the screwdriver up and down until the slot cover breaks away from the

chassis. Then lift the slot cover out of the chassis.

3) Hold the card along the top corners and guide it into the slot. When the expansion

card reaches the slot on the motherboard, push the card in firmly to insert it fully.

4) Secure the end of the card to the computer with retaining screw.

5) Connect any cables that should be attached to the card, and replace the system

cover.

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.
