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 followsome 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 connectoron the motherboard.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis
Ifthe motherboard hasmounting holes, buttheydon't lineup with the holes on thebase 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 ofthe spacers (the spacer maybe 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 mayneed to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuitwire 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 boardor cause boardmalfunctioning.

Hardware Installation Process
To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:
Step 1- Set System Jum per (JP1)
Step 2- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Step 3- Install memory modules
Step 4- Install expansion cards
Step 5- Install I/O Peripherals cables

Step 1: Set System Jumper (JP1)
The system bus frequency can be switched at 100/133/166/200M Hz by adjusting system jumper (JP1). (The internal frequency depend on CPU.)

Hardware Installation Process |
English
Step 2: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:
1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
2. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent
|
irreparable damage. |
3. 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. |
4. |
Apply therm al grease between the processor and cooling fan. |
5. |
Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. Permanent |
|
dam age will result. |
6. 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
Socket ActuationLever
Figure 1.
Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly.
Figure 2.
Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU upper corner. Insert the CPU into
the socket. (Do not force the CPU into the socket.) Then move the socket lever to the locked position while holding pressure on the center of the CPU.
Step 2-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation
Figure 1.
Apply the thermal tape(or grease) to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and cooling fan.
