Static Electricity Precautions

Static electricity could damage components on this motherboard.
T ake the following precautions while unpacking this motherboard
and installing it in a system.

1. Don’t take this motherboard and components out of their
original static-proof package until you are ready to install
them.

2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if
possible. If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static
electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis.

3. Carefully hold this motherboard by its edges. Do not touch
those components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this
motherboard on the top of static-protection package with
component side facing up while installing.

Pre-Installation Inspection

1. Inspect this motherboard whether there are any damages to
components and connectors on the board.

2. If you suspect this motherboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your motherboard
vendor about those damages.

Motherboard User’s Guide

Notice:

1. Owing to Microsoft’s certifying schedule is various to every
supplier, we might have some drivers not certified yet by
Microsoft. Therefore, it might happen under Windows XP that
a dialogue box (shown as below) pop out warning you this
software has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its
compatibility with Windows XP. Please rest assured that our
RD department has already tested and verified these drivers.
Just click the “Continue Anyway” button and go ahead the
installation.

2. USB 2.0 Driver Limitations:
2-1 The USB 2.0 driver only supports Windows XP and
Windows 2000.
2-2 If you connect a USB 2.0 hub to the root hub, plugging

USB devices into this hub, the system might not
successfully execute certain USB devices’ connection

because it could not recognize these devices.
Currently, we are working on such limitations’ solution. As soon
as the solution is done, the updated USB drive will be released to
our website:

www.pcchips.com.tw for your downloading.

Installing the Processor

This motherboard has a Socket 754 processor socket. When
choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of
the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the
clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the
quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory.

CPU Installation Procedure

Follow these instructions to install the CPU:

Socket-754

1

CPU_FAN

pin1

1 Unhook the locking lever of the

CPU socket. Pull the locking lever
away from the socket and raising
it to the upright position.

2 Match the pin1 corner marked as

the beveled edge on the CPU with
the pin1 corner on the socket.
Insert the CPU into the socket.
Do not use force.

10

Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation

3 Push the locking lever down and hook it under the latch

on the edge of socket.
4 Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.
5 Install the cooling fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU, and

secure them all onto the socket base.
6 Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU fan

connector (CPU_FAN) on the motherboard.

Installing Memor y Modules

This motherboard accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets, and supports up to 2.0 GB of 400 MHz
DDR SDRAM.

DDR provides 2.1 GB/s, 2.7 GB/s or 3.2 GB/s data transfer rate
when the bus is 266 MHz , 333 MHz or 400 MHz, respectively .
DDR uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin

2.5V unbuffered DIMM module.

Floppy Disk Drive

The motherboard ships with a floppy disk drive cable that can
support one or two drives. Drives can be 3.5" or 5.25" wide, with
capacities of 360K, 720K, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB.

Install your drives and connect power from the system power
supply . Use the cable provided to connect the drives to the floppy
disk drive connector FDC1.

IDE Devices

IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives,
and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives, among others.

The motherboard ships with an IDE cable that can support one or
two IDE devices. If you connect two devices to a single cable,
you must configure one of the drives as Master and one of the
drives as Slave. The documentation of the IDE device will tell you
how to configure the device as a Master or Slave device. The
Master device connects to the end of the cable.

19

Motherboard User’s Guide

Install the device(s) and connect power from the system power
supply. Use the cable provided to connect the device(s) to the
Primary IDE channel connector IDE1 on the motherboard.

If you want to install more IDE devices, you can purchase a
second IDE cable and connect one or two devices to the Second­ary IDE channel connector IDE2 on the motherboard. If you
have two devices on the cable, one must be Master and one must
be Slave.

Serial ATA Devices

The Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the
standard interface for the IDE hard drives, which is designed to
overcome the design limitations while enabling the storage inter­face to scale with the growing media rate demands of PC plat­forms. It provides you a faster transfer rate of 150 MB/s. If you
have installed a Serial ATA hard drive, you can connect the Serial
ATA cables to the Serial ATA hard drive or the connecter on the
motherboard.

On the motherboard, locate the Serial ATA connectors CON1/2,
which support new Serial ATA devices for the highest data
transfer rates, simpler disk drive cabling and easier PC assembly .

It eliminates limitations of the current Parallel AT A interface, but
maintains register compatibility and software compatibility with
Parallel ATA.

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup Utility

Introduction

The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information of your
computer, such as date and time, the type of hardware installed,
and various configuration settings. Your computer applies the
information to initialize all the components when booting up and
basic functions of coordination between system components.

If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the
system to malfunction. It can even stop your computer booting
properly. If it happens, you can use the clear CMOS jumper to
clear the CMOS memory which has stored the configuration
information; or you can hold down the Page Up key while
rebooting your computer. Holding down the Page Up key also
clears the setup information.

You can run the setup utility and manually change the configura­tion. You might need to do this to configure some hardware
installed in or connected to the motherboard, such as the CPU,
system memory, disk drives, etc.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup Utility

Running the Setup Utility

Every time you start your computer, a message appears on the
screen before the operating system loading that prompts you to
“Hit <DEL>if you want to run SETUP”. Whenever you see
this message, press the Delete key, and the Main menu page of
the Setup Utility appears on your monitor.
