Hardware Setup
Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about hardware
setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the
components and follow the installation procedures. For some
components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will
not work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.
Static electricity may damage the components.

Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in FC-PGA2
package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU
installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has
a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating.
If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to
purchase and install them before turning on the computer.

1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
2. Look for the dot/cut edge.
The dot/cut edge should
point towards the lever
pivot. The CPU will only
fit in the correct orientation.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to
complete the installation.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 14
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 14
= 1.4GHz
1. Overheating
The issue of heat will seriously damage the CPU and
system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
2. Overclocking
WARNING!
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.
However, please make sure your components are able to
tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking.
Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is
not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or
risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.

Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher
performance, thermal managment becomes increasingly important.
To dissipate heat, you need to attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink
on top of the CPU. Follow the instructions below to install the heatsink/
fan.
NOTE: The figures in this section are for reference only. Actual
mainboard layout may be different from the one you purchased.
1. Locate the CPU and its
retention mechanism on the
mainboard.

2. Position the heatsink onto
the retention mechanism.

3. Mount the fan on top of the
heatsink. Press down the
fan until its four clips get
wedged in the holes of the
retention mechanism.
Hardware Setup
4. Press the two levers down to
fasten the fan. Each lever can
be pressed down in only
ONE direction.
5. Connect the fan power cable
from the mounted fan to the
3-pin fan power connector
on the mainboard.

Memory Installation
Memory Bank Configuration
The mainboard supports a maximum memory size of 3GB. It
provides three 168-pin unbuffered SDRAM DIMM (Double In-Line
Memory Module) sockets and supports 64MB to 512MB technology.
DIMM 1 ~ 3
Synchronous DRAM is a type of dynamic RAM memory chip that has
been widely used starting in the latter part of the 1990s. SDRAMs are based on
standard dynamic RAM chips, but have sophisticated features that make them
considerably faster. First, SDRAM chips are fast enough to be synchronized
with the CPU's clock, which eliminates wait states. Second, the SDRAM chip is
divided into two cell blocks, and data is interleaved between the two so that
while a bit in one block is being accessed, the bit in the other is being prepared
for access. This allows SDRAM to burst the second and subsequent, contiguous characters at a rate of 10ns, compared to 60ns for the first character.
SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz.

Note: As 845 chipset does not properly support the PC100 memory, it
is strongly recommended to install PC133 DIMMs for the better system
performance and stability. We do not guarantee the system stability when
installing PC100 DIMMs.
Installing DIMM Modules
1. The DIMM slot has 2 Notch Keys “VOLT and DRAM”, so the
DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot.
Then push it in.

3. The plastic clip at the side of the DIMM slot will automatically
close.

Power Supply
The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system.
Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all
components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be
caused.
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To
connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plugs of the power
supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned.
Then push down the power supply firmly into the connector. The power
connector supports instant power on function which means that system
will boot up immediately when the power supply connector is inserted
on the board.
ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1
