Intel Processor Family
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.

memory interface delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of 133MHz
processors and PC-133 SDRAM. It offers ULTRA DMA 100MB/sec (ATA 100) to provide
speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance.
The 618AS Pro-R/618AF Pro-R including IDE RAID chipset and added extra 2 channel
IDE interface supports either ATA100, or RAID0 (striping)/RAID1 (mirroring) function. Use
RAID0 function it can increasing data storage performance, use RAID1 function it can
protect data which save in hard disk drive.
For 618AF Pro/618AF Pro-R, with integrated 3D Graphic Accelerator, makes this board lower
cost alternative to a video card. For those wanting even greater graphic performance, an
AGP 4X slot is included on the board. This AGP slot will support either a 4X VGA card or
a 4MB display cache AGP In-line Memory Module (AIMM). And for 618AS Pro/618AS
Pro-R, this board provides on board AGP 4X slot for those wanting even greater graphic
performance.
The motherboard integrated AC’97 2.1 CODEC on board which is fully compatible with
Sound Blaster Pro that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility. With 2 USB
control as well as capability of expanding to 4 USB connectors, which guarantees this board
to meet future USB demand. Moreover, this motherboard has built-in hardware monitor
function that capable of monitor and protect your computer. In 618AS Pro/618AF Pro
motherboards integrated Recovery Genius in BIOS protected your hard disk from virus
crash hard disk data, and special design in hardware to protect BIOS from virus crash BIOS
data.

2-3-2 Setting CPU Bus Clock & Memory Clock Jumper
Setting the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency
The motherboard uses jumper JS1, JS2, JS3 and JS4 for the front side bus frequency and
SDRAM frequency setting as shown from the table below:
CPU/SDRAM (MHz) JS1 JS2 JS3 JS4
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 JS3 will be 1-2 and JS4 will be 2-3.
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.

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 90degree 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, JS2, JS3, JS4 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.

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
This motherboard provides three 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.

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.
DIMM2 (BANK2+BANK3)
DIMM1 (BANK0+BANK1)
DIMM3 (BANK4+BANK5)
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.
