Hardware Installation
2-3- Unpacking
This mainboard package should contain the following:
• The 531CF mainboard
• USER’S MANUAL for mainboard
• Cable set for IDE x1, Floppy x1,COM x1
• CD for Drivers PACK
The mainboard contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by electronstatic, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat.
The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-
static mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to
your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it only on a grounded
anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for damage.
Press down on the entire socket IC’s to make sure that they are properly inserted. Do this only on
with the board placed on a firm flat surface.
Warning: Do not apply power to the board if it has been damaged.
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern on the mainboard
matches the Micro ATX system board.
It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a Micro ATX main board mounting. Place the
chassis on the anti-static mat and remove the cover.
Take the plastic clips, Nylon stand-off and screws for mounting the system board, and keep them
separate.

2-3-3 System Memory (DRAM)
This main board supports two 168-pins DIMM modules, the Max Memory Size is 512MB Because
of the VGA share memory function, the system must always occupy BANK0 (DIMM1)to booting.
The main board provides a 321-pins ZIF Socket 7. The CPU on mother board must have a fan
attached to prevent overheating.
WARNING: Without a fan, the CPU will be overheated and cause damage to both the CPU and the
motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open
it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle.
Insert the CPU with the white dot as your guide. The white dot should point towards the end of
the level. The CPU has a corner pin for three of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the one
orientation as shown as follow. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to
insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, hold down on the fan and close the socket’s lever.

IMPORTANT: You must set jumpers JP10,JP11 “CPU Type selector” on page 6 and jumper JP9 “CPU
Voltage Selection” on page 6 depending on the CPU that you install.

8. Setup the BIOS if necessary.
9. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.
2-6 External Connectors
1. ATX Power Connector (20-pins block): PW1
ATX Power Supply connector. This is a new defined 20-pin connector that usually comes with ATX case.
The ATX Power Supply allows to use soft power on momentary switch that connect from the front panel
switch to 2-pin Power On jumper pole on the motherboard. When the power switch on the back of the ATX
power supply turned on, the full power will not come into the system board until the front panel switch is
momentarily pressed. Press this switch again will turn off the power to the system board.( * Please wait
aleast 4sec , when turn off and turn on the power .)
