CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNI T (CPU)

Special Notice:

Remo v e Pin Cap before installation, and m ake goo d preservatio n
for future use. When the CPU is remo v ed, cov er the Pin Cap o n the

empty so cket to ensure pin legs won’ t be damag e d.

Pin Cap

Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise

the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Motherboard Manual

Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on

CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will
fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 2-1:

Step 2-2:

Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked

position to complete the installation.

Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the C PU and buckle it

on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

B. CPU Overheated

If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for
seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.

When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown
automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not

power on aga in.

In this case, please double check:

1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.

2. CPU fan is rotated normally.

3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.

After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection
function.

1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.

2. Wait for seconds.

3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.

CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™

5.1 INTRODUCTION

[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful contro l utility, features three
user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage

Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they

prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The
Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU cor e

vol tag e an d Me mory v ol ta ge. The co o l Har dware Mo nitor s mar t ly in d icat es
the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset

information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, t h e frequency status of CPU,

memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
s how n on our ma in pan el .

Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate wh en testing and results in system fail or hang,

[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the system stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either the

original system speed or a suitable one.

5.2 SYSTEM REQUI REMENT

OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system

includes DirectX 8.1. If you use Windows XP, you do not need to install
D ir ectX 8. 1.)
