1.2 Motherboard Layout

1-2 IL9 Pro

1.3 Choosing a Computer Chassis

• Choose a chassis big enough to install this motherboard.

• As some features for this motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the

motherboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis
supports all the features required.

• If there is possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has
sufficient power and space for them.

• Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O
shield of the chassis matches the I/O port configuration of this motherboard. You can find
an I/O shield specifically designed for this motherboard in its package.

1.4 Installing Motherboard

Most computer chassis have a base with many
mounting holes to allow the motherboard to be
securely attached, and at the same time, prevent
the system from short circuits. There are two
ways to attach the motherboard to the chassis
base: (1) with studs, or (2) with spacers.

Basically, the best way to attach the board is
with studs. Only if you are unable to do this
should you attach the board with spacers. Line
up the holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and there
are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the holes line up and there are only
slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the
slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned with slots.
After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the
chassis back on.

※ Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or

removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage
to your motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after
you have carefully checked everything.

Hardware Setup

To install this motherboard:

1. Locate all the screw holes on the
motherboard and the chassis base.

2. Place all the studs or spacers needed on
the chassis base and have them tightened.

3. Face the motherboard’s I/O ports toward
the chassis’s rear panel.

4. Line up all the motherboard’s screw holes
with those studs or spacers on the chassis.

5. Install the motherboard with screws and
have them tightened.

※ To prevent shorting the PCB circuit,

please REMOVE the metal studs or
spacers if they are already fastened
on the chassis base and are without
mounting-holes on the motherboard
to align with.

IL9 Pro 1-3

Face the chassis’s rear panel.

1.5 Checking Jumper Settings

• For a 2-pin jumper, plug the
jumper cap on both pins will
make it CLOSE (SHORT).
Remove the jumper cap, or
plug it on either pin
(reserved for future use) will
leave it at OPEN position.

• For 3-pin jumper, pin 1~2 or pin 2~3 can be
shorted by plugging the jumper cap in.

Pin 1~2 SHORT

Pin 2~3 SHORT

1.5.1 CMOS Memory Clearing Header and Backup Battery

The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a)
the CMOS data becomes corrupted, (b) you forgot the
supervisor or user password preset in the BIOS menu,
(c) you are unable to boot-up the system because the
CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu,
or (d) whenever there is modification on the CPU or
memory modules.

This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS
memory and have it reconfigured to the default values
stored in BIOS.

• Pins 2 and 3 shorted
(Default): Normal

operation.

• Pins 1 and 2 shorted:
Clear CMOS memory.

To clear the CMOS memory and load in the default values:

1. Power off the system.

2. Set pin 1 and pin 2 shorted by the jumper cap. Wait for a few seconds. Set the jumper
cap back to its default settings --- pin 2 and pin 3 shorted.

3. Power on the system.

4. For incorrect CPU ratio/clock settings in the BIOS, press <Del> key to enter the BIOS
setup menu right after powering on system.

5. Set the CPU operating speed back to its default or an appropriate value.

6. Save and exit the BIOS setup menu.

1-4 IL9 Pro

CMOS Backup Battery:

An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS information stays on even after
disconnected your system with power source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after
some five years. Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED” or “CMOS
checksum error” displays on monitor, this backup battery is no longer functional and has to
be renewed.

Hardware Setup

To renew the backup battery:

1. Power off the system and disconnect with AC power source.

2. Remove the exhausted battery.

3. Insert a new CR2032 or equivalent battery. Pay attention to its polarity. The “+” side is its
positive polarity.

4. Connect AC power source and power on the system.

5. Enter the BIOS setup menu. Reconfigure the setup parameters if necessary.

CAUTION:

※ Danger of explosion may arise if the battery is incorrectly renewed.

※ Renew only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery

manufacturer.

※ Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

1.6 Connecting Chassis Components

1.6.1 ATX Power Connectors

These connectors provide the connection from an ATX power supply. As the plugs from the
power supply fit in only one orientation, find the correct one and push firmly down into these
connectors.

ATX 24-Pin Power Connector:

The power supply with 20-pin or 24-pin cables can both be connected to this 24-pin connector.
Connect from pin-1 for either type. However, a 20-pin power supply may cause the system
unstable or even unbootable for the sake of insufficient electricity. A minimum power of 300W
or higher is recommended.

ATX 12V 4-Pin Power Connector:

This connector supplies power to CPU. The system will not start without connecting power to
this one.

Auxiliary 12V Power Connector:

This connector provides an auxiliary power source for devices added on PCI
Express slots.

lever-hook of the socket is on your left side.
Use your left thumb and forefinger to hold
the lever hook, pull it away from the retention
tab. Rotate the lever to fully open position.

2. Use your right-thumb to raise the load

plate. Lift it up to fully open position.

IL9 Pro 1-9

3. Use your right thumb and forefinger to
grasp the CPU package. Be sure to grasp on
the edge of the substrate, and face the Pin-1
indicator toward the bottom-left side. Aim at
the socket and place the CPU package
vertical down into the socket.

4. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well
into the socket. The alignment key must be
located in the notch of package.

5. Use your left hand to hold the load plate,

and use your right thumb to peel the cap off.

The cap plays an important role in
protecting contact pins. In order to
prevent bent pin, PUT ON the cap after
operation or testing.

6. Lower the plate onto the CPU package.

Engage the load lever while gently pressing
down the load plate.

8. Place the heatsink and fan assembly onto
the socket. Align the four fasteners toward

1.7.2 DDR2 Memory Slots

Hardware Setup

• To reach the optimum performance in dual-channel configurations, install identical DDR2
DIMM pairs for each channel.

• Install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. To reach the optimum compatibility, obtain
memory modules from the same vendor.

※ Usually there is no hardware or BIOS setup required after adding or removing

memory modules, but you will have to clear the CMOS memory first if any
memory module related problem occurs.

To install system memory:

1. Power off the computer and unplug the
AC power cord before installing or
removing memory modules.

2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.

3. Hold two edges of the DIMM module
carefully, keep away from touching its
connectors.

4. Align the notch key on the module with
the rib on the slot.

5. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot
automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra
force as the DIMM module only fits in one direction.

6. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.

※ Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or

optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are

5.1 Troubleshooting (How to Get Technical Support?)

5.1.1 Q & A

Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my

new computer system?

A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard.

Please move the CMOS jumper from its default 2-3 position to 1-2 for a few seconds, and
then back. When you boot up your system for the first time, follow the instructions in the
user's manual to load the optimized defaults.

Q: If my system hangs when I update the BIOS or set the wrong CPU parameters,

what should I do?

A: Whenever you update the BIOS or if the system hangs due to wrong CPU parameters

setting, always clear CMOS jumper before booting up again.

Q: Why does the system fail to boot up again right after a mechanical power-off?

A: Please keep a 30-second interval between each mechanical power On/Off.

Q: Why does the system fail to boot up and nothing displays on the screen after I

did some over-clocking or non-standard settings inside the BIOS?

A: It should not cause hardware or permanent damage to motherboard when BIOS settings

were changed from default to over-clocking or non-standard status.

We suggest the following three troubleshooting methods to discharge CMOS data, recover
the hardware default status, and then making the motherboard work again. There is no
need to bother returning the motherboard to where you bought it from or go through an
RMA process.

Step 1. Switch off the power supply unit and then switch it on again after one minute. If

there is no power-switch on the power supply unit, disconnect its power cord for
one minute and then reconnect.

Press and hold the <Insert> key on the keyboard, and press the power-on button
to boot up system. If it works, release the <Insert> key and hit <Del> key to enter
the BIOS setup page to apply the correct settings.

If the situation remains the same, repeat the procedures in Step 1 for three times,
or try Step 2.

Step 2. Switch off the power supply unit or disconnect the power cord. Open the chassis

cover. Locate the CCMOS jumper near the button battery. Change the jumper
position from default 2-3 to 1-2 for one minute to discharge the CMOS data, and
then put it back to default 2-3 position.

Close the chassis and switch on the power supply unit or plug in the power cord.
Press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works, hit <Del> key to enter
the BIOS setup page to do the correct settings.

If the situation remains the same, try Step 3.

Step 3. The same procedure as Step 2, but while discharging the CMOS data, pull out the

ATX power connectors from motherboard and remove the button battery during
CMOS discharge.

IL9 Pro 5-1

Q: How to get a quick response for my request on technical support?

A: Please carry out a simple troubleshooting before sending “Technical Support Form”:

System boot-up fails after the system had been assembled:

Check the motherboard’s supporting specifications first to see if all the key components
attached in your system can meet.

To do so, you may:

• Remove all the unnecessary add-on devices (except the CPU, VGA card, DRAM, and
Power Supply), and then reboot.

• If the trouble still exists, try another VGA card of different brand/model to see if the
system will start.

• If the trouble still exists, try another memory module of different brand/model.

• If the trouble still exists, try another CPU and Power Supply.

If the system runs successfully, shut it down and start re-installing the interface cards and
devices that were previously installed in the system. Re-install and start the system one at a
time until the system won’t start.

Malfunction in the OS:

If the system hangs after resuming from S3 or some testing program, if the CPU cannot be
recognized properly, if the display resolution mixed, or if a certain program cannot be
executed, etc, you may:

• Upgrade the motherboard’s latest BIOS version.

• Upgrade the add-on device’s latest driver version.

• Check if there is any conflict in the “Control Panel/System Properties”.
