Introduction
This mainboard is a SiS 620 100MHz high-performance
mainboard based on the Slot 1 microprocessor, and provides CPU Plug and Play feature for faster and easier CPU
installation. The mainboard features with highly flexible
configurations and is fully IBM PC/AT compatible.
The mainboard uses a highly integrated Slot 1 chipset with
3D video inside that is built-in a high performance 64-bit
3D AGP Graphics Accelerator with 8MB frame buffer
shared from system memory. It supports the PCI/ISA and
Green standards, it provides the Host/AGP bridge, and
integrates all system control functions such as ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI
provides more energy saving features for the OSPM(OS
Direct Power Management) function.
The mainboard has an onboard 3D PCI Sound to meet
PC98 Audio requirement. It is also
Monitor circuit for abnormal CPU fan speed/temperature/
voltages detection. The mainboard BIOS provides Trend’s
ChipAway Virus to ensure the entire boot process virus
free.

Introduction 3
Unpacking the Mainboard & Static
Electricity Precautions
This Mainboard package contains the following items:
1. This Mainboard and the Device Driver
2. The Slot1 holder and AT cables
3. This UserÕs Guide
4.
Optional Digital Audio cables/bracket
The mainboard is easily damaged by static electricity.
Follow the precautions below while unpacking or
installing the mainboard.
1. Do not remove the mainboard from its original
package until you are ready to install it.
2. Frequently ground yourself to discharge any static
electric charge that may build up in your body
while working on installation and/or
configuration. For example, you may ground
yourself by grasping an unpainted portion of the
systemÕs metal chassis.
3. Remove the mainboard from its anti-static
packaging and place it on a grounded surface,
component side up.
4. Handle the mainboard by its edges or by the
mounting bracket to avoid touching its
components.
5. Check the mainboard for damage. If any integrated
circuit appears loose, press carefully to seat it
firmly in its socket.
6. Do not apply power if the mainboard appears
damaged. If there is damage to the board contact
your dealer immediately.
Notice :
Make sure the CMOS Clear jumper is set to
Normal Mode before use.
The shipped mainboard is set to Clear CMOS
that will be not boot the system.
See CMOS Clear Selector section.
Chapter 2
Hardware Configuration
Before you install the mainboard into the system
chassis, you may find it convenient to first configure
the mainboardÕs hardware. This chapter describes how
to set jumpers and install memory modules, and where
to attach components.

CPU Installation
This mainboard supports Intel Pentium® II CPU by a
Single Edge Contact(SEC) slot and a retention clip set
which is fit for 3 different mechanical types of Intel CPU
(SEPP, SECC and SECC2). The following drawing shows
the retention clip set. It has been preinstalled before
shipping to make the CPU installation easier for users.
However, there are still a few more steps needed to
complete the CPU installation, please refer to the following
procedures.

Installation Procedures
Follow the following steps in order to install your intel
Pentium® II properly.
Step 1:
Make sure that the mainboard is set the same direction
as the following drawing before doing any installation.
Hardware Configuration
Step 2:
There is one set of Slot1 Holder retention that was installed
on your motherboard, and the two chutes of Holder
retention are screwed in. Lift up both of the Holder chutes
as shown in the following drawing.
Step 3:
Flatten the two latches on the side of CPU. Insert the CPU
into the Holder retention. Lock the two latches to secure
the CPU.
9
If Celeron CPU is installed on CPU card, then, continue the
following step.
10
Step 4:
After installing CPU card into the Holder retention, then
push the retention locker downward to secure the CPU card
as indicated in the following 2 drawings.
CPU Speed Setting
This mainboard provides CPU Plug and Play technology,
so that there is no need to do the CPU jumper setting. Enter
the BIOS Setup and select CPU Plug and Play Setup.
Choose the correct CPU speed to match your CPU installed.
However, if you need to change a CPU, follow the below
steps:
1. Power off system and unplug the power core.
2. Install a new CPU to Slot1.
3. Clear CMOS RAM (see Jumper Settings) then power
on the system.
4. After power on the system, then enter the BIOS Setup
to set the new CPU speed.
Note: If the CPU speed is set incorrectly and fails to boot
up the system, then repeat steps 1, 3, 4 again.
Chapter 2
Hardware Configuration
Memory Installation
The mainboard lets you add up to 768MB of system memory
through 3 DIMM sockets on the board, that is divided into
3 banks: Bank 0, Bank 1, and Bank 2. Supports the following
memory configuration.
Bank Memory Module
Bank 0
DIMM1 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
Bank 1
DIMM2 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
Bank 2

Notice for PCI Sound application
1. Before you install PCI Sound drivers, make sure
your operating system has already been installed.
Otherwise the PCI Sound might be detect as "Other
Device" by the device manager.
2. After the drivers installed, if you wants to use Software
Wave-Table drivers as MIDI output device. Select
MULTIMEDIA icon in the CONTROL PANEL. Select
MIDI page, and click on the "C-media SoftMidi
Synthesis(Win98)/Driver(Win95)" then click "OK" to
confirm.
3. A Windows application named Audio Rack is provided
within PCI Sound drivers, will give you control
over all audio functions through a user's interface. This
is as simple to use a home stereo system. We
recommended that users use the System Mixer in the
Audio Rack to control the volume, select recording
device to record.
4. If the Midi port is used as the control interface, you
need to select MULTIMEDIA icon in the CONTROL
PANEL. Select MIDI page, click on the "CM8338
MPU-401"(Win98) or the "CMI8338/C3DX PCI
Audio External MIDI port"(Win95) then click "OK"
to confirm.
5. Please refer to the attached CD for more information
on PCI Sound.

The Four Speakers System
Onboard Sound provides 2 wave channels (front/rear),
known as the 4 speakers system. When 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. Speaker Installation
Connect the front pair speakers to the Line-out jack on the
Sound port, and then, connect rear pair speakers to Line-in/
Rear jack. The original Line-in can be moved to Aux-in.
2. Speaker Position
Set up your speakers similar to the following figure to get
the best audio result.
3. Mixer Setup
When user was setup the PCI Audio Application, there is a
4 speakers option in the Volume Control of the Mixer. Click
on the 4 SPK icon to enable this option. This means that the
rear speakers are connected to Line-in/Rear jack. However,
in order to avoid hardware conflicts, DO NOT enable this
option when Line-in/Rear jack is connected to other external
Line-in sources. Turn on/off the output of the front speakers
and adjust the volume of speakers to the same volume for
the rear speakers.
4. Demo
Execute the "Helicopter" demo within the C3D HRTF
Positional Audio Demos of the PCI Audio Application.
When the helicopter flies behind you, it means that the rear
speakers are working properly.
