version at any given time in the future.
Attention:
The pictures of objects used in this manual are just for your reference.
Please refer to the physical motherboard.
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:
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.

This motherboard includes two 240-pin slots for DDR2. You must install at
least one memory module to ensure normal operation. Mixed memory modules
from different manufacturers is not recommended.
Installation of DDR2 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.
3.The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.
128 Pins
112 Pins
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.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
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.
4-pin ATX_12V Power Connector: PWR2
The ATX power supply connects to PWR2
and provides power to the CPU.
24-pin 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.
Align the connector
Note:
We recommend that you use 300 W power
supply or above. If you want to use 20-pin power
supply, you need to align the ATX power con-
nector according to the right picture.

Front Panel Connector: FP1
This motherboard includes one connector for connecting the front panel switch
and LED indicators.
Hard Disk LED Connector (HDD_LED)
The connector connects to the case’s IDE indicator LED indicating the activity
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 Swith 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.

Front Audio Connector: F_AUDIO
The audio connector provides two kinds of audio output choices: the Front Audio,
the Rear Audio. Their priority is sequenced from high to low (Front Audio to Rear
Audio). If headphones are plugged into the front panel of the chassis (using the
Front Audio), then the Line-out (Rear Audio) on the rear panel will not work. If you
do not want to use the Front Audio, pin 5 and 6, pin9 and 10 must be short, and
then the signal will be sent to the rear audio port.
