Hardware Installation

2-1 Unpacking

This mainboard package should contain the following:

• The mainboard

• USER’S MANUAL for mainboard

• Cable set for Ultra DMA 66 IDE x1, Floppy x1, Com1 & Com2 x 1,PS/2 Mouse x1, LPT x1,

Audio & Game x 1(for motherboard come with Audio Chip)

• CD for Drivers PACK The mainboard contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by

electron-static, 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 AT system board.

It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a standard AT 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.

2-8 Expansion Cards

You must read the documentation come with expansion card for any hardware or software settings that may be required to setup your specific card.

Installation Procedure:

1. Read the documentation from your expansion card.

2. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card.

3. Remove your computer’s cover.

4. Remove the bracket on the slot you intend to use.

5. Carefully align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

6. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you remove in step 4.

7. Replace the computer’s cover.

8. Setup the BIOS if necessary.

9. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.

Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards

Some expansion cards may require an IRQ to operate. Generally an IRQ must be exclusively assigned to only one device. In an standard design there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are occupied by the system and leaves 6 free for expansion cards.

With most recent device, the BIOS automatically assign an IRQ number to PCI expansion cards. Please make sure there are no any of two devices use same IRQs, otherwise your computer may experience some problems when those two devices are in use at the same time.

Assigning DMA Channels for Expansion Cards

Some devices may also need to use a DMA (Direct Memory Access) channel. DMA assignments for this mainboard are handled the same way as the IRQ assignment process described above. You can select a DMA channel in the PCI and PnP configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility.

The 4 Speakers System

This Audio Adapter provides 2 wave channels(front/rear), known as the 4 speakers system. When games or application programs via DirectSound® 3D or A3D® interface locate the sound sources to the listener's back, the two rear speakers will work to enhance the rear audio positional effect, 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:

1. The speaker 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 original Line-in can be moved to Aux-in.

2. The positions of the speakers

Put your speakers the way the following picture suggests, so as to avail yourself to the best

Page 32

audio result.

3. The mixer 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.
