Chapter 1 Hardware Installation
1-1 Considerations Prior to Installation
Preparing Y our Computer
The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can
become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Thus, prior to installation, please
follow the instructions below:
1. Please turn off the computer and unplug its power cord.
2. When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.
3. It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) cuff when handling electronic components
(CPU, RAM).
4. Prior to installing the electronic components, please have these items on top of an antistatic pad or
within a electrostatic shielding container.
5. Please verify that the power supply is switched off before unplugging the power supply connector
from the motherboard.
Installation Notices
1. Prior to installation, please do not remove the stickers on the motherboard. These stickers are required
for warranty validation.
2. Prior to the installation of the motherboard or any hardware, please first carefully read theinformation
in the provided manual.
3. Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors are connected.
4. To prevent damage to the motherboard, please do not allow screws to come in contact with the
motherboard circuit or its components.
5. Please make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or
within the computer casing.
6. Please do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.
7. Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system
components as well as physical harm to the user.
8. If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product,
please consult a certified computer technician.
English
Instances of Non-Warranty

1-3 Installation of Memory
Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:
1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is recommended that
memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.
2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer
power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.
3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be
installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the
direction.
The motherboard supports DDR II memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory
capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one
direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.

Fig.1
The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory
module can only fit in one direction. Insert the DIMM memory
module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down.
Fig.2
Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to
lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove
the DIMM module.

1) Power Connector (2x10 pin ATX )
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the
components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, please make sure that all
components and devices are properly installed. Align the power connector with its proper location on
the motherboard and connect it tightly.
Caution!
Please use a power supply that is able to handle the system voltage requirements. It is recommended
that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (300W or greater). If a power
supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable system or
a system that is unable to start.

An IDE device connects to the computer via an IDE connector. One IDE connector can connect to
one IDE cable, and the single IDE cable can then connect to two IDE devices (hard drive or optical
drive). If you wish to connect two IDE devices, please set the jumper on one IDE device as Master
and the other as Slave (for information on settings, please refer to the instructions located on the IDE
device). Before attaching the IDE cable, please take note of the foolproof groove in the IDE connector.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
If you want to erase CMOS...
1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Gently take out the battery and put it aside for about one
minute. (Or you can use a metal object to connect the
positive and negative pins in the battery holder to makethem
short for five seconds.)
3. Re-install the battery.
4. Plug the power cord in and turn on the computer.
11) CLR_CMOS (Clear CMOS)

Memory
The category is display-only and 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 512K for systems with 512K memory installed on
the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K 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.
