possesses a ful-proof connection design.
Most coolers are designed with color-coded power connector wires. A red power connector wire indicates a positive connection and requires a +12V power voltage. The black connector wire is the
ground wire (GND).
Please remember to connect the power to the cooler to prevent system overheating and failure.

BAT1(Battery)
The improper removal of the battery can result in harm. When replacing a
battery, please make sure you use one that is of similar brand and model
number.
For information related to battery specifications and precautions, please refer
+
to the manufacturer instructions.
If you wish to delete the data stored in the CMOS, please follow the steps
below:
1. Please turn off your computer and unplug the power .
2. Remove the battery from the motherboard.
3. Wait 30 seconds and then replace the battery onto the motherboard.
4. Plug in the power supply and turn on your system.
2.Hardware Installation
1. Please make sure that the CPU used is supported by your motherboard.
2. Please be aware of the placement position of the CPU. If the CPU does not
insert properly, do not apply force but check the placement position.
3. Please make sure that an even layer of heat sink paste is added between the
CPU and the fan sink.
4. Please do not turn on the power prior to installing the fan sink. Doing so can
result in overheating and lead to permanent damage to the CPU.
5. Please follow the CPU specifications when setting the frequency. It is not
recommended that system speed settings exceed that of hardware
specifications. If you wish to set your system speed to exceed the recom
mended specifications, please check your hardware specifications eg: CPU,
graphics card, memory, hard drive
English
The following must be supported to allow the use of Hyper-Threading Technology:
- an Intel Pentium 4 CPU with HT
- a motherboard supporting HT
- HT selection feature within BIOS
- an operating system supporting HT
2.1.Installation of a Pentium 4 CPU and Fan Sink
1
Note the small gold colored triangle on one corner of the CPU.
Place the triangle in the corner closest to the metal lever and
gently insert the CPU into its position.
9
English
2.2.Installation of Memory
The motherboard supports DIMM 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.
2
When the CPU is inserted into its position, gently press the
metal lever downwards until a click is heard. Then add an
even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and fan sink
for heat dissipation.
3
Position and attach the clips on one end of the fan sink firmly
atop the CPU. Please do the same for the clips on the other
end of the fan sink.
4
Connect the 3-pin cooler power connector to the CPU Fan
connector located on the motherboard.
1. Before installing or removing memory, please make sure that the computer power
is turned off to prevent hardware damage.
2. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard.
3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. The memory can be in
stalled only when facing the correct position. If you cannot insert the module,
please switch directions.
4. It is recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be
used.
1. Unfasten the clips on each end of the memory slots.
Correctly align the memory module in the slot and
push downwards..
10
2. Once the memory module is correctly inserted, the
clips will automatically refasten. If the memory mod
ule is positioned in the wrong direction, it will not
insert. If this occurs, please switch directions.
2.3.Installation of the Graphics Card
1. Before installing the graphics card, please carefully read the accompanying user manual.
As well, make sure the computer power is turned off.
2. When installing or removing the graphics card, first pull out the white AGU knob before
insertion or removal. Releasing the AGU knob will hold the graphics card firmly in place.
2.4.What is Axper's A.G.U.?
Axper's Advanced Graphics Upgrade (A.G.U.) is a unique feature on 845GV motherboards
that includes an added AGP graphics interface. Axper's A.G.U. allows the addition of a
graphics card for high-performance graphics for multimedia and gaming applications. Axper's
A.G.U. is both AGP 4X and 8X compatible and supports the new Microsoft DirectX 9.0 standard.
The Advantages of Axper's A.G.U.
1) Performance
Axper's 845GV motherboards offers better graphics output than other 845GV platforms due to
the extra addition of a dedicated AGP graphics interface
2) Flexibility
With the Axper A.G.U., users have the flexibility in choice of a wide range of AGP4X and
AGP8X-based graphics cards (please refer to support list on manual or website) for their
845GV chipset platforms.
3) Value
Axper's 845GV motherboards provide superior value by offering performance nearing to that
of 845GV chipset platforms but at a noticeably lower cost for great performance at
unbelievable savings!

3.BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores all the information of the motherboard settings
that is needed for system initiation within the CMOS. The CMOS SETUP utility allows the user
to make changes in BIOS configurations that are required or to activate certain features.
The CMOS SETUP saves each item configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the required power to
the CMOS SRAM.
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On
Self Test) will bring up the CMOS SETUP screen. If you wish to enter the BIOS setup, please
press "Ctrl + F1" at the BIOS setup screen.
When using BIOS setup for the first time, it is recommended that you save the present BIOS
onto a disk in case you need to reset the BIOS back to its original settings. If you wish to
update to a new BIOS, the "BIOSNOW!" can be used.
The user can select "BIOSNOW!" as a way to quickly and easily update or back up BIOS
without entering the operating system.
3.1.Setup Screen Features (BIOS version:F1)
ø When you enter the CMOS SETUP screen, you will see the following screen and setting
