Handling Precautions

Warning:

1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on

the motherboard. Before handling any motherboard outside of its
protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge
in your body.

2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.

3. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

4. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly

attached. PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL RESUL T!

Observe the following basic precautions when handling the motherboard
or other computer components:

 Wear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is

connected to a natural earth ground.

 Touch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a

water pipe.

 Avoid contacting the components on a dd-on cards, motherboards,

and modules with the golden fingers connectors plugged into the
expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their
mounting brackets.

The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged
properly.

All trademarks mentioned in this manual are registered properly of
the respective owners.

Installation Procedures

The mainboard has several user-adjustable jumpers on the board that allow you to
configure your system to suit your requirements. This chapter contains information
on the various jumper settings on your mainboard.

To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:

Step 1 - Set system jumpers
Step 2 - Install memory modules
Step 3 - Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Step 4 - Install expansion cards
Step 5 - Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply
Step 6 - Set up BIOS software
Step 7 - Install supporting software tools

WARNING: Excessive torque may damage the mainboard. When
using an electric screwdriver on the mainboard, make sure that
the torque is set to the allowable range of 5.0 ~ 8.0kg/cm.

Mainboard components contain very delicate Integrated Circuit
(IC) chips. To prevent static electricity from harming any of the
sensitive components, you should follow the following precau­tions whenever working on the computer:

1. Unplug the computer when working on the inside.

2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC

||||chips, leads, or circuitry.

3. Wear an anti-static wrist strap which fits around the wrist.

4. Place components on a grounded anti-static pad or on the bag
that came with the component whenever the components are
separated from the system.

2). Install Memory Modules

1. Locate the DD R DIMM slots
on the mainboard.

2 . Install the DDR DIMM
straight down into the slot
using both hands.

3. The clip on both ends of the
slot will close up to hold the
DIMM in pla ce when the
DIMM reaches the slot
|bottom.

Press the clips with both hands to remove the DIMM.

3). Install the CPU

The mainboard has built-in
Switching Voltage Regulator to
support CPU Vcore autodetection.
That is, it has the ability to detect
a nd recognize the CPU voltage,
clock a nd ratio.

When you install your CPU on this
mainboard, please use a power
supply that designed an
ma nufa ctured only for CPU use.
Y our CPU fa nsink combined with
its retention module must be completely closed a nd firmly atta ched on the top
of the processor.

T o install the CPU, do the following:

1 . Lift the lever on the side of the CPU socket.

2. Handle the chip by its edges and try not to touch any of the pins.

2 - 6

Installation Procedures

3 . Place the CPU in the socket. Do not f orce the chip. The CPU should slide

easily into the socket.
4 . Swing the lever to the down position to lock the CPU in place.
5 . Place the cooling fan with heatsink on top of the installed CPU.

NOTE: Users The CPU installing procedures should be:

1. Insert the CPU (with its fansink and retention module) on the
socket.

2. Connect the 4-pin plug of the power supply.

3. Connect the 20-pin plug of the power supply
To remove the processor, please do it in reverse order.

4). Install Expansion Cards

This section describes how to
connect an expansion card to one
of your system expansion slots.
Expa nsion cards are printed
circuit boards that, when
connected to the mainboard,
increase the capabilities of your
system. For example, expa nsion
cards can provide video and sound
capa bilities. The mainboard
features one AGP and three
PCI bus expa nsion slots.

CAUTION: Make sure to unplug the power supply when adding or
removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to
do so may cause severe damage to both the mainboard and
expansioncards.
Always observe static electricity precautions.
Please read Handling Precautions at the start of this manual.

T o install an expansion card, follow the steps below:

1. Remove the computer chassis cover and select an empty expansion
slot.

2 - 7

the slot cover out from the computer chassis. Keep the slot cover
mounting screw nearby.

3 . Holding the edge of the peripheral card, carefully align the edge

connector with the expansion slot.

4. Push the card firmly into the slot. Push down on one end of the
expa nsion card, then the other . Use this rocking” motion until the a dd
on card is firmly seated inside the expa nsion slot.

5. Secure the board with the mounting screw removed in Step 2. Make
sure that the card has been placed evenly and completely into the
expansion slot.
