Warning:

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 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.

Warning:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while

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

your device.

nents or change settings.

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

such as an attached power supply, beforehandling compo-

nents to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

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

any component.

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 anti-static bag that it came in.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

CPU

This motherboard supports single Pentium® 4/Celeron® D Processors in an

LGA775 package .

Installation of CPU

Below is the CPU socket illustration. Follow these procedures to install a CPU.

Load lever

Load plate

Protective cover

Load stiffener

1. Use thumb and forefinger to hold the hook of the load lever and pull the lever

down and away from socket to unlock it. Lift the load lever.

2. Push down the rear tab with your forefinger to bring the front end of the load

plate up slightly. Open the load plate with thumb. Be careful not to touch the

contacts.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

3. Hold CPU with thumb and forefinger. Ensure fingers align to socket cutouts.

Match the CPU triangle marker to Pin 1 position as shown below. The alignment

key also provides the orientation directed function. Lower the CPU straight down

without tilting or sliding the CPU in the socket.

Alignment Key

Pin 1 position

Socket Cutouts

4. After installing the CPU, remove the protective cover from load plate. The

protective cover is used to protect the contacts of the socket. Do not discard the

protective cover. Always replace the socket cover if the CPU is removed from the

socket.

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.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Memory

This motherboard includes two 184-pin slots Memory sockets. You must in-

stall at least one memory module to ensure normal operation. If you install two

modules, they must be the same speed. Mixed memory modules from different

manufacturers is not recommended.

1.There is only one gap in the center of the DIMM socket, and the memory

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

the module clips outward.

2.Align the memory module to the DIMM socket and insert the module verti-

cally into the DIMM socket.

cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended) or sec-

ondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the Ultra DMA 133/

100/66 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the Ultra DMA

133/100/66 master device. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the

second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard

disk documentation for the jumper settings.

Attention:

Ribbon cables are directional, therefore, make sure to

always connect with the cable on the same side as pin 1 of the

PIDE/SIDE or FDD connector on the motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Front Panel Connector: FP1

This motherboard includes one connector for connecting the front panel switch

and LED indicators.

Hard Disk LED Connector(HDD_LED)

status of IDE hard disk.

Reset Switch (RESET)

Attach the connector to the Reset switch on the front panel of the case; the

system will restart when the switch is pressed.

Power LED Connector (PLED)

Attach the connector to the power LED on the front panel of the case. The Power

LED indicates the system’s status. When the system is in S0 status, the LED is

on. When the system is in S1 status, the LED is blink; When the system is in S3,

S4, S5 status, the LED is off.

Power Switch Connector (PWRBTN#)

Attach the connector to the power button of the

case. Pushing this switch allows the system

to be turned on and off rather than using the

power supply button.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Expansion Slots

This motherboard includes three 32-bit master PCI bus slots, one AGP 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.

AGP Slot

This motherboard has an AGP slot that supports 1.5V AGP cards. AGP is an

interfacing specification designed to display 3D images. It provides a specialized

66MHz, 32-bit channel to allow the graphic controller to directly access the master

memory and supports 4X and 8X speeds.

Warning:

The motherboard may be damaged if a 3.3V AGP card is used. Make

sure that your AGP card is 1.5V specification. Note the notches on

the card golden fingers to ensure that they fit the AGP slot on your

motherboard.

Installing an expansion card

1.Before installing the expansion card, read carefully the documentation that

came withit and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2.Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing any expan-

sion cards.

3.Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.

4.Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated in the slot.

5.Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
