Installation Guide

Installation Guide

Getting Started

WARNING!

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated
Circuit (IC) chips. To 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 sep arated from the system.

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

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

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.

CPU Heat Sink Installation:

Beware: Please check that the heat sink is in good contact with the CPU before you turn on your

system. Poor contact will cause over heat with might cause damage to your

processor!

3.Align CPU and insert it

(Please refer to your heatsink installation
manual for application of thermal grease to
provide better heat conduction between your
CPU and heatsink.)

5.Hook one end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket.

6. Hook the other end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket.

(Please refer to the cooler’s installation manual for detailed installation steps)

4.Use compliant fan approved by Intel.

Installation Guide

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically

Memory Installation

The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets support 4 banks. The BIOS
will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it
vertically into the DIMM Slot .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notch.
Memory size can vary between sockets.

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

memory module can only fit in one direction.

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.

««Note:

1. If you use 66/100/133 MHz CPU, We recommend you to setup your system speed to
“Auto” value.

2. We don’t recommend you to set up your system speed to 75 , 83 , 112 , 124 , 140 ,150
MHz because these frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, Chipset
and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under 75 ,
83 ,112 ,124 ,140 ,150 MHz properly will depend on your hardware configurations: CPU,
SDRAM, Cards, etc.

Suspend To RAM Installation

A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering from

STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of
the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory
(RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only
enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system
state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.

A.2 STR function Installation

Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.

Step-By-Step Setup
Step 1:

To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.

Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.

Setup with Windows 98 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run.
B. Type (without quotes) “D:\setup ” in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK.
C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

C. Select the “Advanced” tab and “Standby” mode in Power Buttons.

D. Restart your computer to complete setup.

Now when you want to enter STR sleep mod e, just momentarily press the “Power on”
button.

A.4 How to recover from the STR sleep mode?

There are five ways to “wake up” the system:

1. Press the “Power On” button.

2. Use the “PS/2 Mouse Power On” function.

3. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function.

4. Use the “Modem Ring On” function.

A.5 Notices :

1. In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and software requirements must

be satisfied:

A. Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification (provide more

than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current).

B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100 compliant.

2. Jumper JP10 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Your
chassis may not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your
system is in STR sleep mode.

message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or
hard disk partition table

Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the

boot sector or hard disk partition table. (Default Value)

•• 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 512 K
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 1 MB in the CPU's memory

address map.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free
for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM
