3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard has a PGA 370 socket.
WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor
heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. The CPU will be unstable if the heatsink is not properly
mounted. Double check the contact.
To install a CPU, first turn off the system and remove its cover. Loca te the CPU socket and open it by first lifting the le v er to a 90-degree angle. Carefully insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown. The notched corner should point towards the end of the lever. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown. The picture is for reference only.
Once completely inserted, pull down the socket lever while holding down the CPU. Next, install the specified heatsink.
NOTE: The motherboard automatically sets the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple for the processor. PGA370 processors pro vide internal thermal sensing that a socket mounted thermal resistor is not needed.
CAUTION! Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting a clamp-
style processor heatsink or else damage may occur to the motherboard.

3.7.2Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards
This is applicable only when MPS 1.4 Support is Disabled in section 4.6 Boot Menu.
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generall y , an IRQ must be exclusi vely assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for e xpansion cards. If the motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If the motherboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.
The following table lists the default IRQ assignments for standard PC devices. Use this table when configuring your system and for resolving IRQ conflicts.

3.8 Ports and Connectors
WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper caps over these connector pins may damage your motherboard .
IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should alw ays be connected with the red stripe to
Pin 1 on the connectors. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the po wer connector on hard drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk drives. Check the connectors before installation because there may be exceptions. IDE ribbon cable must be less than 46 cm (18 in.), with the second drive connector no more than 15 cm (6 in.) from the first connector.
1) PS/2 Mouse Port (Green 6-pin PS2KBMS)
The system will direct IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse if one is detected. If one is not detected, expansion cards can use IRQ12. See PS/2 Mouse Function Control in 4.4 Advanced Menu.
2) PS/2 Keyboard Port (Purple 6-pin PS2KBMS) This connection is for a standard keyboard using an PS/2 plug (mini DIN). This connector does not allow standard A T size (large DIN) k eyboard plugs. You may use a DIN to mini DIN adapter on standard AT keyboards.

SCSI Connection Notes
This motherboard has two 68-Pin Ultra160/Ultra3 SCSI connectors; one for each of the two channels.
The onboard SCSI chipset incorporates an advanced m ultimode I/O cell that supports both single-ended (SE), Ultra3, and Ultra160 devices. With Ultra160/Ultra3 devices, the SCSI bus platform performs at full Ultra160/Ultra3 speeds (up to 160MB/sec) and extended cabling 12m (or 25m in a point-to-point configuration). When an SE device is attached, the bus defaults to an SE speed and 1.5m cable length.
IMPORTANT: Connect SCSI devices as shown. Each channel should have only one type of SCSI standard (e.g. Ultra160, Ultra3, Ultra-Wide). Mixing SCSI de vices on the same channel decreases performance of the slower device.
NOTE: Ultra160/Ultra3 SCSI devices do not have termination jumpers and must use a separate terminator on the last connector (internal) or device (external).

4.2 BIOS Setup Program
This motherboard supports a programmable EEPROM that can be updated using the provided utility as described in 4.1 Managing and Updating Your BIOS.
The utility is used if you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section describes how to configure your system using this utility.
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, at some time in the future you may want to change the configuration of your computer. For example, you may want to enable the Security Password Feature or make changes to the power management settings. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM.
The EEPROM on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. This appears during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press <Delete> to call up the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late in pressing the mentioned key, POST will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from calling up Setup. If you still need to call Setup, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the Reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on again. But do so only if the first two methods fail.
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections among the predetermined choices.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key after the computer has run through its POST.
NOTE: Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the following BIOS screens and descriptions are for reference purposes only and may not reflect your BIOS screens exactly.

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords: a Supervisor password and a User password. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup program functions. When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the BIOS Setup program and having full access to all configuration fields.
Forgot the Password?
If you forgot the password, you can clear the password by erasing the CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM. The RAM data containing the password information is powered by the onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM: (1) Unplug your computer, (2) Short the solder points, (3) Turn ON your computer, (4) Hold down <Delete> during bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
