Preparing Your Computer

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 separated 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.

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, Memory, Cards… etc.

Step 2-1: CPU Installation

Figure 1. Pu ll th e ro d to the 90 -de gr ee dire ctly.

Before installing the p rocessor, adh ere to the following warning:

1. Please m ake sure the CPU type is supported by the mo therboard.

2. The proces sor will over heat without the heatsink and/o r fan, resulting in perma nent irreparable damage.

3. If you do not m atch the CPU soc ket Pin 1 a nd CPU cut edge well, it will cau se improper i nstallation. Please change the insert orientation.

4. Apply therm al grease between the process or and c ooling fan.

5. Never run the process or without the hea tsink properly and firmly attached. Perman ent dam age will result.

6. Please set the CPU host frequen cy i n accord ance with your p rocessor 's speci fications. We don't recom men d you to set the system b us frequency over the CPU's specification because these specific bus frequenc ies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and m ost of the peripherals. Wh ether your sys tem can run under these spec ific bus frequenci es pro perly will depe nd on your hardware c onfigurations, i ncluding C PU, Me mory , Card s… etc.

Step 3: Install Memory Modules

Before installing the m em ory mod ules, adhere to the following warning:

1. When DIMM LED is ON, do not install / rem ove DIMM from socket.

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

The motherboard has 3 dual inline m em ory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects mem ory type and size. To install the mem ory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket. The DIMM mod ule c an only fit in one direction due to the notch. Mem ory size ca n vary between sockets.

Support Unbuffered DDR DIMM Sizes type:

64 Mbit (2Mx8x4 banks) 64 Mbit (1Mx16x4 banks) 128 Mbit(4Mx8x4 banks)

128 Mbit(2Mx16x4 banks) 256 Mbit(8Mx8x4 banks) 256 Mbit(4Mx16x4 banks)

512 Mbit(16Mx8x4 banks) 512 Mbit(8Mx16x4 banks)

Total System Memory (Max3GB)

1. The DIMM soc ket has a notch , so th e DIM M mem ory m odule can only fit in one direction.

2. Inser t the DIM M m emo ry mo dule v ertically in to the DIMM sock et. Then push it down.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges o f the DIMM sockets to lock the DIMM m odule. Rever se the ins tallation steps whe n y ou wish to remove the DIMM module.
