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. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket 478 for easy CPU installation. Make sure that the CPU has a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating. If you do not find the Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer or purchase them before turning on the computer.

Installing the CPU

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.

and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work WARNING! properly to protect the CPU from overheating.

Hardware Setup

Installing the CPU Fan

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management 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:

1.Locate the CPU and its retention mechanism on the motherboard.

Retention Mechanism

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 locked in the holes of the retention mechanism.

4.Press the two levers down to fasten the fan. Each lever can be pressed down in only ONE direction.

Overclocking

This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.

However, please make sure your components are able to WARNING! 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.

Introduction to SDRAM

Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) 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.

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.

Power Supply

The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connectors, 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 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.

Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2

The mainboard uses an IDE controller on the Intel® ICH2 chipset that provides PIO mode 0-4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100 modes. It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (Primary) and IDE2 (Secondary). You can connect up to four hard disk drives, CD-ROM or 120MB Floppy to IDE1 and IDE2.

IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)

- The first hard disk drive should always be connected to IDE1. You can connect a Master and a Slave drive to IDE1.

IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)

- You can connect a Master and a Slave drive to IDE2.

Power Switch

Connect to a 2-pin push button switch.

Reset Switch

Reset switch is used to reboot the system rather than turning the power ON/ OFF. Avoid rebooting while the HDD is working. You can connect the Reset switch from the system case to this pin.

Power LED (F_P1)

The Power LED is lit while the system power is on. There are three types of LEDs you can connect from the system case to the pin:

2-pin single color power LED: Connected to pin 5 & 6. The power LED is not able to change its color. You can only choose Blinking in the BIOS utility for the power LED to indicate the suspend/sleep mode.

LEDStatus

Description

 

 

Steady Green

The system is in the full-on mode.

 

 

Blinking

The system enters the suspend/sleep mode.

 

 

2-pin/3-pin dual color power LED: 2-pin LED is connected to pin 5 & 6. 3-pin LED is connected to pin 4, 5 & 6. The dual color power LED is able to change its color to indicate different system states.

Therefore, you can select either Blinking or Dual (color) for the power LED to show the suspend/sleep mode.

z When you select Blinking in the BIOS utility:
