1.3 CPU and SDRAM Clock Frequency Selection
The CPU and SDRAM combined clock frequencies can be set at the
CPU
HOST/SDRAM/PCI Clock
item of
X-BIOS
in the BIOS Setup menu. The choices are 66/66,
66/100 (Default), 70/105, 95/95, 95/126, 96/96, 97/97, 97/129, 99/99, 99/132, 100/100,
100/133, 100/150, 105/140, 110/147, 112/112, 115/153, 120/120, 133/100, 132/132,
133/133, 138/138, 140/140, 145/145, 147/147, 150/100, 160/160, and 166/110.
The X-BIOS is a valuable feature for those over-clocking users becaus e the X-BIOS will
intelligently judge the CPU Clock Frequency you selected in BIOS Setup. If the selected
CPU clock is too high to be acceptable, the system will hang up with black screen after
exiting BIOS Setup. At this point, turn on the system right after shutting it down will make the
system set up to its default (66/100). Then you can press “DEL” key to re-enter BIOS Setup
to select another CPU/SDRAM combination values or any other key to accept the default.
Press and hold the <INS> key until the monitor displays. This action will make the system set
up to its default (66/100) automatically.
NOTE: If you shut down your engine very quickl y after booting, say “within 3~4 seconds ”
after turning on the engine, the BIOS may misjudge and resulting circumstances like the above.

3. Hardware Setup
Static-Sensitive Devices
Static-sensitive electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent damage
to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are
generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge.
Precautions
!
Use a grounded wrist strap des i gned for st atic discharge.
!
Touch a grounded metal object before you remove t he board from the anti-static bag.
!
Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules, or gold contacts.
!
W hen handling chips or modules, avoid t o uching their pi ns.
!
Put the system board and peripheral s back into their anti-static bags when not in use.
!
For grounding purposes, be sure your computer system’s chassis provides excellent
conductive contact between its power supply, case, the mounting fasteners, and the
system board.
Unpacking
The system board is shipped in anti-static packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, be sure the person handling the board is static-protected.
3.1 CPU Installation
NOTE: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the fan.
Heat Sink
Please follow the instructions that came with your processor or heat sink to attach a heat sink
to the processor, and also make sure a good contact is made between the CPU chip and the
heat sink.
Processor
You are now ready to install the processor.
Your mainboard has a 370-pin, PPGA type
socket, which supports 370-pin (not SEPP
type) Celeron/CuMine processors. Lift the
lever on the PPGA socket and install with
the notched corner of the processor oriented
with pin 1. Fully seat the processor into the
socket and then close the lever.
You should install the processor to the mainboard first, then install t he mainboard in the
chassis, then the memory and add-on cards, and finally the cables and drivers. Please follow
the installation procedures in the order that will eliminate the common problems during the
system installation.
NOTE: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing
or changing any hardware components.
3.2 Memory Installation (DIMM1, DIMM2)
The mainboard provides two 168-pin DIMM (Double In-Line Mem ory Module) slots, DI MM1
and DIMM2. You can use SDRAM from 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 to 512MB per DIMM slot, or
you can use VCM from 32, 64, and 128MB.
Leadtek Research Inc.
6
IF you use 100Mhz CPU Bus/SDRAM bus synchronous frequency, you must use the
qualified SDRAM that meets PC-100 specifications.
IF you use 133Mhz CPU Bus/SDRAM bus synchronous frequency, you must use the
qualified SDRAM that meets PC-133 specifications.
DIMM Installation Procedures
The DIMM slot has two keys marked “VOLT” and “DRAM”,
making the module only fit in one direction. Note that the
module must be a 3.3V unbuffered DIMM.
Step 1:
Insert the module vertically into the DIMM socket
and push it in.
Step 2:
The plastic clip at the side of the DIMM socket will automatically close.
3.3 ADIMM Installation (For WinFast 6300MAX only)
Step 1:
Position the optional card (WinFast ADIMM-128, WinFast ADIMM-DCT) over the
ADIMM slot and insert one end of the board into the slot first.
Step 2:
Firmly but gently press the bus connector on the bottom of the card into the slot.
Make sure the metal contacts on the bottom of the host adapter are securely
seated in the slot.
Step 3:
For ADIMM-DCT, anchor the card’s mounting bracket to the computer chassis and
have it fastened with screws.
3.4 Case Signal Connector (U12)

3.5 Hard Disk Connector (IDE1, IDE2)
The on-board Enhanced IDE controller can support up to 4 IDE hard drives or other ATAPI
devices, such as CD-ROMs. This controller, as with all Enhanced IDE controllers, consists of
both Primary (IDE 1) and Secondary (IDE 2) ports. Each port has an associated connector
and cable, which can support up to 2 ATAPI devices each.
All IDE devices have jumpers, which allow the user to configure the device as either “Master”
or “Slave”. A Master device is one that is ALONE on the IDE cable, whereas a Slave devi ce
is installed as a SECOND device on the same cable. Keep in mind that the Master device will
