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 10 minutes 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
recommended specifications, please check your hardware specifications eg:
CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive
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

English
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.
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.
10
4
Connect the 3-pin cooler power connector to the CPU Fan
connector located on the motherboard.
2.2. Installation of Memory
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
installed 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.
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.
1. Unfasten the clips on each end of the memory slots.
Correctly align the memory module in the slot and
push downwards..
2. Once the memory module is correctly inserted, the
clips will automatically refasten. If the memory
module is positioned in the wrong direction, it will
not insert. If this occurs, please switch directions.
English
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. Your graphics card must be 1.5V and support the AGP4X/8X specification.
3. When installing or removing the graphics card, first pull out the white AGP knob before
insertion or removal. Releasing the AGP knob will hold the graphics card firmly in place.

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: E3)
ø When you enter the CMOS SETUP screen, you will see the following screen and setting

3.9. Load Fail-Safe Defaults
ø Use this option to reset your BIOS settings to the system defaults. You should only use
this if you are encountering serious problems.
Please select <Y> and <Enter> to load Fail-Safe defaults. Once this is loaded, your
system may be slowed since this uses a minimal performance setting to allow stable
system running.
English
3.10. Load Optimized Defaults
ø Like the Fail-Safe mode above, this option loads the BIOS default settings, but runs the
system at optimal performance.
Please select <Y> and <Enter> to load optimized defaults.
3.11. Set User Password
ø Use this to set the password that is needed to either enter into the BIOS or to boot the
system. Entering in a blank field will disable the password.
Please input an 8 character long password and then select Enter. You will be required
to re-enter the password for confirmation. If you wish to remove the need for password
entry, leave the entry blank and then select Enter. BIOS will then display "PASSWORD
DISABLED". Once you have completed the password setting, you will need to go to
"Advanced BIOS Features" and select "Password Check" for setup of password check.
3.12. Save & Exit Setup
ø To save any changes you made to the BIOS you must choose this option. The
system will automatically exit setup and perform a system restart. Pushing <F10>
will have the same effect.
Push <Y> and <Enter> to save and exit setup. If you do not wish to save, select <N> or
<Esc> to return to the main menu.

Driver installation for the Windows 98/98SE/200/ME/XP operating systems is simple. Once
you insert the provided driver disks into your optical drive, the AUTORUN screen will appear.
If this screen does not appear, you can use "D:\setup.exe" (with "D" being the specified drive)
to bring up the screen shown below. Just follow the screen instructions to easily complete
driver installation.
3.13. Exit Without Saving
changes you have made. Pushing <ESC> will have the same effect.
Push <Y> and <Enter> to exit setup. You can return to the main menu by pushing <N>or
