Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. T o
protect them against damage from static electricity , you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the A TX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the A TX
power connector on the motherboard.

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there
are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting
holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful
of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short
circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard
PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact
any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the
board or cause board malfunctioning.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

W ARNING!

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.
We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification because
these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the
peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will
depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets, Memory, Cards…etc.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process

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

Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Step 2- Install memory modules
Step 3- Install expansion cards
Step 4- Install I/O Peripherals Cables

Congratulations! Y ou have accomplished the hardware installation!
Turn on the power supply or connect the power cable to the power outlet. Continue with the
BIOS/software installation.

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 1-1: CPU Installation

Angling the
rod to 65

1. Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe
feel a kind of tight , and then continue
pull the rod to 90-degree when a noise
"cough" made.

2. Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly .

4. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and
look for a (golden) cut edge on the
CPU upper corner. Then insert
the CPU into the socket.

Actuation
Lever

Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:

1.Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

2.If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will
cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

Step 1-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation

1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting­base onto the CPU socket on the
motherboard.

Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to the following warning:

1.Please use Intel approved cooling fan.

2.We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat
conduction between your CPU and cooling fan.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of
the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cool­ing fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with
the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid this from
happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of
thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)

3. Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan
connector, this completes the installation.
Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail
installation procedure.

2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged
to the CPU fan connector, than
install complete.

- 11 - Hardware Installation Process

English

Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:

1.Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to
the one notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation.
Please change the insert orientation.

Step 2: Install Memory Modules

DDR

Notch

The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically
detects memory type and size. T o install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM
socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary
between sockets.

1 . The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM

memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into
the DIMM slot. Then push it down.

3 . Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM

slots to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish
to remove the DIMM module.

DDR Introduction

Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high

performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs,
and system integrators.

DDR memory is a great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing

SDRAM architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance
bottleneck by doubling the memory bandwidth. Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of

3.2GB/s of DDR400 memory and complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR

memory is the best choice for building high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that
are suitable for servers, workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.

Step 3: Install expansion cards

1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the
computer.

2. Remove your computer's chassis cover, screws and slot bracket from the computer .

3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.

4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.

5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.

6. Replace your computer's chassis cover.

7. Power on the computer , if necessary , setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.

8. Install related driver from the operating system.

AGP Card

Please carefully pull out the small white­drawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when
you try to install/ Uninstall the AGP card.
Please align the AGP card to the onboard
AGP slot and press firmly down on the slot
.Make sure your AGP card is locked by the
small white- drawable bar.

The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has been installed in the computer.
There are two types: auto type, and manual type. Manual type is user-definable; Auto type which will
automatically detect HDD type.

Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work
properly if you enter improper information for this category .

If you select User T ype, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. Enter the
information directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. Such information should be provided in the
documentation form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.

CYLS. Number of cylinders

HEADS Number of heads

PRECOMP Write precomp
LANDZONE Landing zone

Halt on

The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up.

NO Errors The system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected and you

will be prompted.

All Errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system boot will be stopped.
All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for all errors except a keyboard error.

(Default value)
All, But DisketteThe system boot will not stop for all errors except a disk error.
All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for all errors except keyboard and

disk errors.

Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS.

Base Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed

in the system.

The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512K memory installed on

the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the motherboard.

Extended Memory

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.
