Static Electricity Precautions
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.
1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
2. During installation, 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. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During
installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection
packaging it came in with the component side facing up.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and
connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.
Chapter 2
Mainboard Installation

Use the USB ports to connect USB devices.
Note: The lower USB port located beside the
VGA port is shared with the READ1 co nnector.
Use the three audio ports to connect audio
devices. The first jack is for stereo Line-In
signal. The second jack is for stereo
Line-Out signal. The third jack is for
Microphone.
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.

DIMM1
DIMM2
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 (CPUFAN) on the
mainboard.
Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets, and supports up to 2.0 GB
of 266/333 MHz DDR SDRAM.
DDR SDRAM is a type of SDRAM that supports data transfers on
both edges of each clock cycle (the rising and falling edges),
effectively doubling the memory chip’s data throughput. DDR
DIMMs can synchronously work with 100 MHz or 133 MHz
memory bus.
DDR SD RAM provides 1.6 GB/s or 2.1 GB/s data transfer rate
depending on whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz.
DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires
184-pin 2.5V unbuffered DIMM module.
Installation Procedure
These modules can be installed with up to 2 GB system memory.
Refer to the following steps to install the memory module.
11
1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM socket
JP2
1
down.
2. Align the memory module with the socket. The
DIMM sockets 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 socket.
4. Install the DIMM module into the socket and press
it firmly down until it is seated correctly. The
socket latches are levered upwards and latch on to
the edges of the DIMM.
5. Install any remaining DIMM modules.
Setting Jumper Switches
Jumpers are sets of pins that can be connected together with
jumper caps. The jumper caps change the way the mainboard
operates by changing the electronic circuits on the mainboard. If a
jumper cap connects two pins, we say the pins are SHORT. If a
jumper cap is removed from two pins, the pins are OPEN.
Jumper JP2: Clear CMOS Memory
This jumper can clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup
Utility are incorrect and prevent your mainboard from operating.
To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from
the mainboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR
setting for a few seconds.

Install the Mainboard
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case). The board is a
Micro ATX size mainboard. You can install this mainboard in an
ATX case. Ensure your case has an I/O cover plate that matches
the ports on this mainboard.
Install the mainboard in a case. Follow the instructions provided by
the case manufacturer using the hardware and internal mounting
points on the chassis.
Connect the power connector from the power supply to the
ATXPW1 connector on the mainboard. ATX2 is the CPU Vcore
power connector.
If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the
cable from the cooling fan to the CHSFAN fan power connector
on the mainboard.
Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the SW1 header.

Chapter 3
BIOS Setup Utility
Introduction
The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information about
your computer such as the date and time, the kind of hardware
installed, and various configuration settings. Your computer uses
this information to initialize all the components when booting up
and functions as the basis for coordination between system
components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the
system to malfunction. It can even stop your computer from
booting properly. If this happens, you can use the clear CMOS
jumper to clear the CMOS memory used to store the configuration
information.
You can run the setup utility and manually make changes to the
configuration. You might need to do this to configure some of the
hardware that you install on or connect to the mainboard, such as
the CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc.
19
Running the Setup Utility
Each time your computer starts, before the operating system loads,
a message appears on the screen that prompts you to “Hit <DEL>
if you want to run SETUP ”. When you see this message, press the
Delete key and the Main menu page of the Setup Utility appears on
your monitor.

Appendix: Hyper Threading CPU
You must update BIOS to initiate BIOS Hyper Threading Function
and use HT CPU function under WinXP Operating System; if not,
please disable this option.
♦ When BIOS detects the HT CPU, it shows the “Hyper
Threading Function (default Disabled)” option, which you must
set Enabled if you want to test HT CPU function. If there is no
HT CPU, this option is hidden and default Disabled.
♦ You must re-install WINXP to activate the HT CPU function.
While you are in Windows Task Manager, please push down
ctrl+Alt Del keys. A dual CPU appears in the CPU Usage
History&Device Manager under WinXP.
Note: Hyper Threading Function only works under
WINXP Operating System; therefore, disable it
under other Operating System.
