Appendix

Attention:

1.Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.

2.It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid

damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.

3.Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

4.Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or re

moving expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when you

insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC power

supply may result in serious damage to your system or memory

module.

Attention:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while

overclocked. Normal operation depends on the overclock capacity of

Notes:

Take note of the following precautions before you install components

or change settings.

1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object, such

as an attached power supply, before handling components to avoid

damaging them due to static electricity.

2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching any

components.

3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed

integrated circuits (ICs).

4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded anti-

static pad or into the antistatic bag that it came in.

Installation of CPU Fan

New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies. To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example, overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure is provided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for the actual procedure.

CPU Fan

CPU Heatsink

CPU Retention Mechanism

CPU Retention Bracket

CPU Retention Lock

1. Locate the CPU retention mecha-

nism base (surrounds the CPU

socket).

2.If required, apply a light coating of

silica gel to the top of the CPU.

NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have

a pre-applied thermal compound. In

that case, the silica gel is not required.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

3. Place the cooling set onto the re-

tention mechanism. Attach one end

of the retention bracket to retention

mechanism.

5.Push down the retention bracket lock on the retention mechanism to secure

the heatsink and fan to module base.

4.Align the other end of the reten-

tion bracket to fasten the cooling

set on the top of the retention

mechanism.

6.Connect the fan’s power cable to the appropriate 3-pin terminal on the

motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Memory

This motherboard includes four 184-pin slots with 266/333/400 MHz Dual Chan-

nel DDR DRAM interface, You must install at least one memory module to

ensure normal operation. If you install more than two modules, they must be

the same speed. Mixing memory modules from different manufactures are not

recommended.

Power Supply

This motherboard uses an ATX power supply. In order to avoid damaging any

devices, make sure that they have been installed properly prior to connecting

the power supply.

ATX Power Connector: PWR1

PWR1 is the ATX power supply connector.

Make sure that the power supply cable

and pins are properly aligned with the

connector on the motherboard. Firmly

plug the power supply cable into the con-

nector and make sure it is secure.

ATX 12V Power Connector: PWR2

The 4 pin ATX 12V power supply connects

to PWR2 and provides power to the CPU.

Attention:

Expansion Slots

This motherboard includes two32-bit Master PCI bus slots, one PCI Expressx1

and one PCI Express x16 slot.

PCI Slots

The expansion card can be installed in the PCI slot. When you install or take out

such card, you must make sure that the power plug has been pulled out.

Please read carefully the instructions provided for such card, and install and set

the necessary hardware and software for such card, such as the jumper or

BIOS setup.

PCI Express Slots

PCI Express will offer the following design advantages over the PCI and AGP

interface:

-Compatible with existing PCI drivers and software and Operating Systems.

-High Bandwidth per Pin. Low overhead. Low latency.

-PCI Express supports a raw bit-rate of 2.5 Gb/s on the data pins. This

results in a real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s.

-A point to point connection, allows each device to have a dedicated connec-

tion without sharing bandwidth.

-Ability to comprehend different data structure.

-Low power consumption and power management features.

PCI Express will take two forms, x16 and x1 PCI Express slots. Whereas the x16

slot is reserved for graphic/video cards, the x1 slots are designed to accommo-

date less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card.

The difference in bandwidth between the x16 and x1 slots are not able to be

sure, with the x16 slot pushing 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent) of bandwidth,

and the x1 PCI Express slot offering 250MB/sec.

Warning:

If a performance graphics card was installed into x16 PCI

Express slot, 2X12 pin power supply was strongly recommended.
