CPU (Central Processing Unit)

When installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent 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.

sion.

Open the load lever and remove the
plastic cap.

1. Lift the load lever up to fully open
position.

2.

After con󰘰rming the CPU direction for
correct mating, put down the CPU in
the socket housing frame. Be sure to
grasp on the edge of the CPU base.
Note that the alignment keys are
matched.

3. Engage the load lever while pressing
down lightly onto the load plate.

4.

Important

Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU with
pure vertical motion and reinstall.

Secure the load lever with the hook
under the retention tab.

5. Make sure the four hooks are in proper
position before you install the cooler.
Align the holes on the mainboard
with the cooler. Push down the cooler
until its four clips get wedged into the
holes of the mainboard.

6.

Press the four hooks down to fasten
the cooler. Turn over the mainboard
to con󰘰rm that the clip-ends are
correctly inserted.

7. Finally, attach the CPU Fan cable
to the CPU fan connector on the
mainboard.

8.

Important

Conrm if your CPU cooler is rmly installed before turning on your system.

Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damage.

Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pins with the plastic
cap covered.

Please refer to the documentation in the CPU cooler package for more details about
the CPU cooler installation.

Read the CPU status in BIOS.

The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only 󰘰t in the
right orientation.

Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until
the golden 󰘰nger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.
The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when
the memory module is properly seated.

Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM
slot clips at the sides.

Important

You can barely see the golden nger if the memory module is properly inserted

in the DIMM slot.

This connector allows you to connect a power supply. To connect to the power
supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper orienta-

tion and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply rmly into the

connector.

Fan Power Connector: FAN1, FAN2, FAN3, FAN4

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When con­necting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive
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.

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 conguration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can

automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system

conguration, set the jumper to clear data.

JBAT1 Normal Clear 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.

regular PCI-equipped hardware, using Mini PCI-to-PCI converters.

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 cong­ure any necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as

jumpers, switches or BIOS conguration.

Important

The CF1 slot and the IDE1 connector shares and uses the same channel. CF1
and IDE1 can support up to 2 IDE devices without CF device or 1 IDE device
with 1 CF device.

If you install two IDE devices, you must congure the second drive to Slave

mode by setting its jumper. Refer to the hard disk documentation supplied by
hard disk vendors for jumper setting instructions.

If you install one CF device and one IDE device with ATA133 IDE cable, you

must congure the CF drive to Master mode by setting jumper JCF_SEL1.

CF only supports Master mode by using ATA133 IDE cable. CF only supports
Slave mode by using ATA33 IDE cable.

CPU Conguration

Hyper-Threading

The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction
rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two
cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instruc

-

tions simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved.
If you disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the
instructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn’t support
HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.

Execute Disable Bit

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of mali

cious “buffer overow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating

system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by
where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious
worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execu­tion, preventing damage or worm propagation.

Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a platform
to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions.
With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple “virtual” sys

Quiet Boot

This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST mes

­sages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo.

When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up
sequence, hiding normal POST messages.

When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead
of the full-screen logo.

Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to
the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a suf

-

cient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS

feature for a faster boot-up time.
