BE SURE YOU KNOW WHA T YOU ARE DOING!
•It’s easy to get overly excited about your purchase, and to jump right into installing the
system board into your case. T oo many times, people fail to read the manual or insist on
installing it themselves, only to find out later that they’ve permanently damaged their
motherboard and as well as their components. Though this manual will make installation
seem like a fairly simple procedure, it is not. So, if you’re not a technophile or have little
or no computer knowledge, consider asking your vendor or a trained technician to install
this board.
SETUP THE CPU RETENTION CLIP(S)
•Look at the CPU installation page for instructions on setting up the retention clips.
INSERT THE CPU INTO THE SOCKET
•Look at the CPU installation page for instructions on inserting your CPU.
CONFIGURE YOUR CPU THROUGH JP6, SW1, SW2 ,SW3 & SW4.
•Look at the CPU installation page for instructions on configuring your CPU.
INSTALL YOUR MEMORY INTO THE DIMM SOCKETS
•Insert your memory into the corresponding DIMM sockets. Follow the instruc tions outlined in the memory section of this manual.

This motherboard supports an Intel Pentium II processor using a Single Edge Contact
(SEC) slot. Make sure that you have the following items (which should be included in the
package) before doing any installation: (1) 4 screws (2) 1 retention clip.
(1) There are 2 sets of small holes along Slot 1 of your
motherboard: two on the top and two on the bottom. Snap the
retention clip (2) right into those 2 sets of holes. If the retention
clip is installed incorrectly, you will not be able to insert the CPU
into the retention clip.
•The mainboard lets you add up to 768MB of system memory through 3 DIMM
sockets on the board
•The three 168-pin DIMM sockets are divided into three banks: BANK 0, 1 & 2.
•The speed of all DIMM modules must be 67 - 100 MHz for SDRAM when system bus
speed is set to 66MHz
•When system bus speed is set to 100MHz, 100MHz SDRAM is required.
•When installing DIMM modules, make sure that Pin 1 of the module must match with Pin
1 of the DIMM socket. Press down firmly until the side clips lock into place.
(2) Find the holes in each corner of the retention clip and insert
one of the four screws into each of these holes.
(3) Push the screws downward to secure the retention
clip.
(4) Flatten the two latches on the side of the CPU. Insert

the CPU into the retention clip. Lock the two latches to
secure the CPU.
