Introducing the Mainboard

IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn

Congratulations on purchasing the K7S5A mainboard. This mainboard has a
Socket-A processor socket for the type of AMD K7 processors. You can in-
stall any one of these processors on the mainboard. The mainboard supports
front-side bus speeds of 200/266MHz.

This mainboard uses the SiS 735 chipset which supports a 4X AGP slot for
highly graphics display, DDR interface and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function,
provides outstanding high system performance under all types of system op­erations. The mainboard has a built -in AC97 Codec, provides an AMR (Audio
Modem Rise r) slot to support Audio and Modem application, and has a built-in
10BaseT/100BaseTX Network Interface. In addition, the mainboard has an
extended set of ATX I/O Ports including PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, two
USB ports, a parallel port, and two serial ports. Two extra USB ports can be
added using the Extended USB Module that connects to the mainboard.

This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful multime­dia workstation. The board is ATX size and has power connectors for an ATX
power supply.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard co m­plies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some features on the
mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to ind i­cators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all
the features required. The mainboard can support one floppy diskette drive
and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient power and
space for all the drives that you intend to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that
the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge
of the mainboard.

This mainboard has an ATX form factor of 30.5 x 24.4 cm. Choose a case that
accommodates this form factor.

This concludes Chapter 1. The next chapter explains how to install the mai n­board.

Installing the Mainboard

SSaaffeettyy PPrreeccaauuttiioonnss

Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:

• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid
damage from static electricity.

• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely
grounded object before working on the mainboard.

• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in.

• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the mainboard
in a case:

This illustration shows an ex­ample of a mainboard being
installed in a tower-type case:

Note: Do not overtighten

the screws as this
can stress the main­board.

Most system cases have
mounting brackets installed in
the case, which correspond to
the holes in the mainboard.
Place the mainboard over the
mounting brackets and secure
the mainboard onto the mount­ing brackets with screws.

Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and
expansion slots on your mainboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the main­board.

screws where appropriate.

1. Place the mainboard
over the mounting brackets.

Setting Jumpers

Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with
more than one pin are numbered. When setting th e jumpers, ensure that the
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.

The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper.
When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the
jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just
one pin, the jumper is OPEN.

Short Open

This illustration shows a 3-pin
jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

If you enable the keyboard power on feature, you can use hot keys on your
keyboard as a power on/off switch for the system.

Note: The system must provide 1A on the +5VSB (+5V Standby) signal before

using the Keyboard Power On function.

JP4: Clear CMOS Jumper

Use this jumper to 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, disco n-

After you have installed the mainboard into a case, you can begin connecting
the mainboard components. Refer to the following:

1. Connect the power
connector from the
power supply to the
ATX_PWR1
connector on the
mainboard.

2. Connect the CPU
cooling fan cable to
CPUFAN.

3. If there is a cooling
fan installed in the
system chassis,
connect the cable
from the cooling fan to
the SYSFAN fan
power connector on
the mainboard.

4. Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the FP1 header JP2 for on­board LAN LED.

5. Connect the case speaker cable to SPK1.
