Thermal Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal
management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system
operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the
processor below its specified maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved
processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and concentrated airflow
from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat
from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the
use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below
for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel
processors.

133MHz CPU to increase performance.
In “Miscellaneous Control” section of CMOS Setup Utility, you can increase the
CPU clock step by step increase for over clocking possibility. Please refer to page
12 for more details.
2. Keyboard Power On Function setting (3-pin) : JK1
This allows you to disable the keyboard power on function. Set the jumper to
enabled or disabled if you wish to use your keyboard (by pressing < >) to power on

The way to recognize the specification of CPU from the packing Pentium III 370
pins FC-PGA
On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of
“PENTIUM III” the code is:
RB 80526 P2 866 256
RB :
FC–PGA packing
P2 :
P2–133MHz front side bus frequency
PY–100MHz front side bus frequency
866 :
CPU internal frequency, where here is
866MHz
256 :
the size of L2 cache, where here is 256K
Celeron FC–PGA
On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of “Celeron” the
code is:
566/128/66/1.5V
566 :
CPU internal frequency, where here is 566MHz
128 :
the size of L2 cache, where here is 128K
66 :
front side bus frequency, where here is 66MHz
1.5V :
the voltage for the CPU
2-3-2 Setting CPU Bus Clock & Memory Clock Jumper
Setting the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency
The motherboard uses jumper JS1 and JS3 for the front side bus frequency and
SDRAM frequency setting as shown from the table below:
CPU/SDRAM (MHz) JS4 JS2 JS1 JS3
AUTO ON ON 1-2 1-2
66/100
(default)
OFF OFF 2-3 2-3
100/100 OFF OFF 2-3 1-2
133/100 OFF OFF 1-2 1-2
133/133 OFF OFF 1-2 2-3
Example: Using a Pentium III 866 CPU with front side bus frequency of 133MHz and
PC-133 SDRAM module, the setting of JS1 will be 1-2, JS3 will be 2-3 and both
JS2 & JS4 will be off. This sets both CPU BUS CLOCK and SDRAM CLOCK
to be 133MHz.
For experience user looking for over clocking possibility, please refer to sec 2-3-4.
11
2-3-3 Install CPU
This motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that comes with the
motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not
the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
WARNING!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it
may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you
may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF
socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then
upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown
below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU
has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as
shown.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No forces require to insert of the CPU,
then press the level to locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-3-4 Over clock Running
WARNING!
This section is for experienced motherboard installer only. Over
clocking can result in system instability or even shortening life of the
processor.
After setting the Jumper JS1, JS3 you can choose over clock running by BIOS CMOS
SETUP UTILITY. When you entered CMOS SETUP UTILITY, choose
“Miscellaneous Control” you will see the screen as below then.
You can choose the situation you want to try.

WARNING!
The Design of this motherboard follows chipset and CPU vender’s
design guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification
are not recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage
your system or important data. Before over clocking, you must make
sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting,
especially CPU, memory, hard disks, and VGA cards.
2-4 Install Memory
13
This motherboard provides two 168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 32MB to maximum
memory size of 512MB SDRAM.

DS : Double Sided DIMM
SS : Single Sided DIMM
NOTE!
Make sure the total installed memory does not exceeds 512MB, otherwise
the system may hang during startup.
Generally, installing SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer to
figure 2-4 to see what a 168-Pin PC100 & PC133 SDRAM module looks like.
DIMM1 (BANK0+ BANK1)
DIMM2 (BANK2+ BANK3)
NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention
on both sides.
WARNING!
For the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC133-compliant
DIMMs. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not
even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing
issues, if your DIMM are not PC133-compliant, set the SDRAM clock to
100MHz to ensure system stability.
2-5 Expansion Cards
Figure 2-4
14
WARNING!
Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or
other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage
to both your motherboard and expansion cards.
2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware
or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.
2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.
5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively
assign to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them
are already in use.
