Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While doing the installa
tion, 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 compo

Cpu (CeNtral proCessiNg uNit)
When you are installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent
the CPU from overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer
before turning on the computer.
Important
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the
cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure
that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU
and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power
supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet rst to ensure the safety of CPU.

and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be
connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset
onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
Important
Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s ofcial website or
•
consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
Fan cooler sets with 3- or 4-pin power connector are both available.

Jumper
Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1
There is a CMOS RAM onboard that has a power supply from an external battery
to keep the data of system conguration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can
automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system
conguration, set the jumper to clear data.

JBAT1NormalClear CMOS
Important
You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to
1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage
the mainboard.
The PCI Express slot supports the PCI Express interface expansion card.

The CompactFlash socket supports CompactFlash cards.
Important
When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power
supply rst. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to congure any necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as
jumpers, switches or BIOS conguration.
