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.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 478
Open Lever
1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure
to raise the lever up to a 90degree angle.
3. Look for the cut edge. The cut
edge should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU can only
fit in the correct orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly
installed, the pins should be
completely embedded into the
socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any violation
of the correct installation
procedures may cause
permanent damages to your
mainboard.
5. Press the CPU down firmly into
the socket and close the lever.
As the CPU is likely to move
while the lever is being closed,
always close the lever with
your fingers pressing tightly
on top of the CPU to make sure
the CPU is properly and
completely embedded into the
socket.

Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher
performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. T o 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:
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the motherboard.
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.
2. Position the heatsink onto the reten-
tion mechanism.
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 board.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
IfCPU Clock=100MHz
Core/Bus ratio=1 7
then CPU core speed=Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
=100MHz x 17
=1.7GHz
Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.
WARNING!
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.

Memory
The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM with 4
memory banks. Y ou can install DDR266/PC2100 or DDR333/PC2700 DRAM
modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~2). The supported maximun memory
size is 2GB. To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed.

Introduction to DDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM,
but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as
opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory
bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers.

Chapter 2
DDR Module Combination
Install at least one DIMM module on the slot. Memory modules can be
installed on the slots in any order. You can install either single- or double-sided
modules to meet your own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
SlotMemory ModuleT otal Memory
DIMM 1
(Bank 0 & 1)S/D64MB~1GB
DIMM 2
(Bank 2 & 3)S/D64MB~1GB
Maximum System Memory Supported64MB~2GB
S: Single SideD: Double Side
Installing DDR Modules
1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module
will only fit in the right orientation.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted
in the socket.
TIP: You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly
inserted in the socket.
3. The plastic clip at each 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.
A TX 20-Pin Power Connector: CONN1
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To
connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plug 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.
A TX 12V Power Connector: JPW1
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.
The mainboard provides a standard PS/2® mouse mini DIN connector for
attaching a PS/2® mouse. You can plug a PS/2® mouse directly into this
connector. The connector location and pin assignments are as follows:
