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 high temperatures.

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
removing 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

over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity

of your device.

Attention:

Since BIOS programs are upgraded from time to time, the BIOS

description in this manual is just for reference. We do not guarantee

that the content of this manual will remain consistent with the actual

BIOS version at any given time in the future.

Attention:

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

5. Close the load plate, and slightly push down the tongue side.

6. Lower the lever and lock it to the load plate, then the CPU is locked completely.

Note :

Excessive temperatures will severely damage the CPU and

system. Therefore, you should install CPU cooling fan and make

sure that the cooling fan works normally at all times in order to

prevent overheating and damaging to the CPU. Please refer to your

CPU fan user guide to install it properly.

Memory

This motherboard includes two 184-pin slots with 2.5V for DDR. These slots

support 256 Mb, 512 Mb and 1 Gb DDR technologies for x8 and x16 devices. You

must install at least one memory bank to ensure normal operation.

Installation of DDR Memory

1.There is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory

module can be fixed in one direction only. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the

module clips outward.

2.Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically

into the DIMM slot.

104 Pins 80 Pins

3.The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.

Warning :

Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing

expansion cards or other system peripherals, especially the

memory devices, otherwise your motherboard or the system

memory might be seriously damaged.

Expansion Slots

This motherboard includes three 32-bit Master PCI bus slots and one PCI Ex-

press x 16 slot.

PCI Slots

The expansion cards can be installed in the three PCI slots. When you install or

take out such cards, you must make sure that the power plug has been

pulled out. Please read carefully the instructions provided for such cards, and

install and set the necessary hardware and software for such cards, such as

the jumper or BIOS setup.

PCI Express Slot

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 slot is 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 is notable 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 16x PCI Express slot,

2 x 12 pin power supply was strongly recommended.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Jumpers

The users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard if needed. This

section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by chang-

ing the jumper settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to

modifying any jumper settings.

Description of Jumpers

1. For the jumpers on this motherboard, pin 1 can be identified by the silk-

screen printed “ ” next to it. However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply

labeled as “1”.

2. The following table provides some explanation of the jumper pin settings.

User should refer to this when adjusting jumper settings.

Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS

The motherboard uses the CMOS RAM to store all

the set parameters. The CMOS can be cleared by

removing the CMOS jumper.

How to clear CMOS?

1. Turn off the AC power supply and connect pins 1

and 2 together using the jumper cap.

2. Return the jumper setting to normal (pins 2 and

3 together with the jumper cap).

3. Turn the AC power supply back on.

Warning:

1. Disconnect the power cable before adjusting the jumper settings.

2. Do not clear the CMOS while the system is turned on.
