and installing it in a system.
1. Don’t take this mainboard and components out of their original
static-proof package until you are ready to install them.
2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if possible.
If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Carefully hold this mainboard by its edges. Do not touch those
components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this
mainboard on the top of static-protection package with
component side facing up while installing.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect this mainboard whether there are any damages to
components and connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect this mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
about those damages.

Mainboard User’s Manual
Installing the Processor
This mainboard has a Socket 478 processor socket. When choosing
a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system.
Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and
system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal
cache memory and external cache memory.
CPU Installation Procedure
Follow these instructions to install the CPU:
1. Unhook the CPU socket’s locking lever by pulling
it away from socket and raising it to the upright
position.
2. Match the pin 1 corner of CPU socket to the one of
processor, and insert the processor into the socket.
Do not use force.
3. Push the locking lever down and hook it under the
latch on the edge of socket.
4. Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.
5. Lower the CPU fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU and
CPU socket, and then use the retention module
clamps to snap the fan/heatsink into place.
6. Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU
cooling fan power supply connector on the
mainboard.

2: Mainboard Installation
Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates 168-pin 3.3V/184-pin 2.5V
unbuffered SDRAM memory modules. The memory chips must be
standard or registered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random
Access Memory).
The CPU supports 100MHz system bus. The SDRAM DIMMs
and DDRs can synchronously work with 100 MHz or operates over
a 133 MHz memory bus.
You must install at least one memory module in order to use
the mainboard, either SDRAM or DDR SDRAM, but you
cannot use them simultaneously
Note: Please be noted you must set up the correct jumper settings
(JP1 and JT1~JT10) as described in page 13 of this chapter.
SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer rate
corresponding with the bus 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the
rate to 1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s by transferring data on both the
rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional
power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs
used by SDRAM.

Installation Procedure
The mainboard accommodates two memory modul e s. You must
install at least one module in any of the three slots. Each module
can be installed with up to 2 GB system memory.
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot
down.
2. Align the memory module with the slot. Th e
DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the
DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can
only be installed correctly.
3. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge
connector match the notches in the DIMM slot.
4. Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it
firmly down until it seats correctly. The slot latches
are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the
DIMM.
5. Install any remaining DIMM modules.

BIOS Setup Utility
Introduction
The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information of your
computer, such as date and time, the type of hardware installed,
and various configuration settings. Your computer applies those
information to initialize all the components when booting up and
basic functions of coordination between system components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the
system to malfunction. It can even stop your computer booting
properly. If it happens, you can use the clear CMOS jumper to
clear the CMOS memory which has stored the configuration
information; or you can hold down the Page Up key while
rebooting your computer. Holding down the Page Up key also
clears the setup information.
You can run the setup utility and manually change the
configuration. You might need to do this to configure some
hardware installed in or connected to the mainboard, such as the
CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc.

If you have two diskette drives installed
and you enable this item, drive A
becomes drive B and drive B becomes
drive A.
If you enable this item, your system will
check all floppy disk drives at start up.
Disable this item unless you are using an
old 360KB drive.
Enable this item if you plan to use a PS/2
mouse.
If you have entered a password for the
system, use this item to determine, if the
password is required to enter the Setup
Utility (Setup) or required both at startup and to enter the Setup Utility
(Always).
Leave these items enabled since all the
processors that can be installed on this
board have internal L2 cache memory.
If you enable this item, a segment of the
system BIOS will be copied to main
memory for faster execution.
This item allows you to enable or disable
the SDRAM timing defined by the Serial
Presence Detect electrical.
This item determines the operation of
SDRAM memory CAS (column address
strobe). It is recommended that you leave
this item at the default value. The 2T
setting requires faster memory that
specifically supports this mode.
Select the number of CPU clocks
allocated for the Row Address Strobe
(RAS#) signal to accumulate its charge
before the SDRAM is refreshed. If
insufficient time is allowed, refresh may
be incomplete and data lost.
