A 3/16 inch nut driver or wrench
Users must follow these guidelines to ensure the
motherboard is protected during installation.
1.Make sure your computer is powered-off wheneven
work in with inside components
2.The motherboard, like all other electronic equipment,
is sensitive to static. Please take the proper precautions
when handling it. If possible, ground yourself by touching a
metal table or desk. keep the board in its conductive
wrapping until it is configured and ready to be installed in
your system.
3.Keep all magnets away from both your hard and floppy
disk drives, especially magnetic screwdrivers. Keep both
floppy and hard disks apart if disassembed.
4.Keep water and liquids away from your computer and its
components.

Chapter 3Hardware Setup
3.2 Install the Processor
The CPU should have a fan attached to it to prevent
overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a fan
before you turn on your system.
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the
processors heatsink by regularly checking that your
CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the
processor could overheat and damage both the
processor and the motherboard. You may install an
auxiliary fan, if necessary.
21
Chapter 3Hardware Setup
Step1:
Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever of socket
upw ard.
Step2:
Insert the CPU into the socket. Please keep the lev er right angle when
inse rting CPU.
Step3:
When ins erting the CPU please note the correct orientation as shown. The
notche d corner should point toward the end of the lever.
Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four
corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.
22
Chapter 3Hardware Setup
Step4:
Push the l ever down to close the socket.
Step 5:
Attach the heatsi nk onto the CPU.
Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when
mounting a clampstyle processor fan or else damage
may occur to the motherboard.
23
Chapter 3Hardware Setup
Step6:
Pus h the clip of heatsink downward to hock the ear of socket firmly.
Step7:
F inally, attach the fan cable to the CPU fan header FCPU.
Don't forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and
Multiple(frequency multiple setting is available
only on unlocked processors) for your Socket 370
processor or else boot-up may not be possible.

Chapter 3Hardware Setup
3.3 Install Memory Modules
The motherboard has three Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets
and supports the maximum memory size up to 512MB. These DIMM
sockets only support 3.3V unbuffered SDRAM modules of 16M, 64M,
128M and 256M. The motherboard also support SPD (Serial Presence
D etect) architecture to provide the best choice for perform ance vs.
stability.
The chipset does not support ECC. However, the ECC
memory modules may still be used, but the ECC
function will not be available.
No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or
removing memory modules.
Step 2:Proofread the RAM module to the DIMM Socket.
Step 3:Inser t the RAM module into the DIMM socket.
Step 3:Press the latches into the notche s of the RAM module.
26
Chapter 3Hardware Setup
3.4 CNR
The interface of Communication and Networking Riser(CNR) supports the
modem, and local area network(LAN). Motherboard integration of the
modem , and LAN subsystem s is also problem atic, due to the potential for
incease noise, which in-turn degrades the performance of each system.
The CNR specifically addresses these problems by physical separating
these noise-sensitive syst ems from the noisy environment of the
mother board.
3.5 ATX Power Supply Connector
In order to support the power up function other than
power/soft-off button, such as Wake-On-LAN, WakeOn-Modem, your ATX power supply must supply at
least 720mA 5VSB.
27
Chapter 3Hardware Setup
The power LED on the front panel of the chassis will
light. After few seconds, the system will then run poweron tests. Some additional messages will appear on the
screen during the test. If you do not see anything within
30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the
system may have failed a power-on test. Recheck the
jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for
assistance.

Generally, the BIOS default settings have been carefully
chosen by IWILL's Engineers provide the absolute
maximum performance and reliability. It is very
dangerous to change any setting without full
understanding. We strongly recommend that you.
DO NOT update BIOS if the system works perfectly.
DO NOT change any setting unless you fully
understand what it means.

If the system is no longer able to boot after changing the settings, the
only way to recover it is to clear the data stored in R TC CMOS. To reset
the R TC CMOS data, take the JP1 jum per cap off pins 1-2, place onto
pins 2-3, and then place back onto pins 1-2 again. This will return the
R TC to the default setting. Then, get into the BIOS setup program ,
choose Load Fail-Safe Defaults ; Load Optimized Defaults, and select the
original manuf acturer default settings in your CMOS.

4.6 Advanced Chipset Features
This setup page is used to specify advanced features available through
the chipset. The default settings have been chosen carefully for most
operating conditions. DO NOT change the value of any field in this setup
page without full understanding.

Memory Hole At 15M-16M
CPU Latency Timer
Delayed Transaction
AGP Graphics Aperture Size
Voice-Alert Language
The f irst chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random
access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully
chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a
scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM
chips installed. Longer delays might result, however this
preserves the integrity of the data held in the slower memory
chips.
SDRAM CAS Latency Time
This contr ols the number of clocks between the SDRAM read
command and the time that the data actually becomes available.
[2.3(D efault Value)]
SDRAM Cycle Time Tras /Trc
This controls the number of SDRAM clocks used per access cycle.
[5/7,7/9(D efault Value)]
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This controls the number of clocks between the SDRAM active
command and the read / write command.
[2,3(D efault Value)]
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to
accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be
incomplete and the D RAM m ay fail to retain data. This controls the
idle(delay) clocks after issueing a prechange command to the
SD R AM.
[2,3(D efault Value)]

MicroStepping
Microst epping is Iwill's anther step forward to provides users a
f uss free CPU frequency set up procedure. It contains two main
f unctions, Auto Detecting CPUs speed and Micro Adjustable CPU
FSB speed.
Auto Detecting CPU speed:
IWILL MicroStepping will auto detect the CP U's factory m ultiplier
setting and C PU FSB to the factory default. This function provides
a "f uss free" CPU set up process for the general users.
Micr o Adjustable CPU FSB speed:
IWILL provides a user friendly overclocking function that allows
users to experience the fun of overclocking. This function allows
user to adjust C PU FSB by 1MHz interval. This is particularly
usef ul when user wants to extract the most out of the purchased
C PU. For example: you select from 133, 134, 135, 136, 137,
138MH z and up to the m axim um speed that the system can
sustained.
In the time should overclocking failed, MicroStepping will auto
detects the C PU's factory m ultiplier setting and set the CPU FSB
to def ault 66MHz, to protect the CPU installed.

back, the two rear speakers will work to enhance the rear audio
positional ef fect, so as to complement the insufficiency of using
only two front speakers to emulate the audio effect. The following
is the hardware installation and the software setups:
The spea ker installation.
Connect the front pair speakers to the Line-out jack of the audio
adapter, and then connect rear pair speakers to Line-in/Rear jack
of the audio adapter.
The positions of the speakers
Put your speakers the way the following picture suggests, to
deliver the best audio result.
The mix er setup
There is a 4 speakers option in the volume control of the mixer,
and when you enable this option, it means the rear speakers are
connected to Line-in/Rear jack.
When Line-in/Rear jack is connected to other external Line-in
sources, please DO NOT enable this option in order to avoid
hardware conflicts. Regarding rear speaker option, you can turn
on or turn off the output of the back speakers, and adjust the
volume, to have the rear/front speakers have the same volume.
