1.5 Safety Precautions

Follow the messages below to avoid your systems from damage:

* Avoid your system from static electricity on all occasions.

* Prevent electric shock. Don‘t touch any components of this card when the card is power-on.

Always disconnect power when the system is not in use.

*Disconnect power when you change any hardware devices. For instance, when you connect

a jumper or inst all any cards, a surge of power may damage the electronic c omponents or

the whole system.

Chapter 2__________Hardware Installation

2.1 Installing the Memory

The motherboard comes with one 200- pin Double Dat a Rate 2 (DDR2) Small Outline Dual Inline

Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) sockets.

A DDR2 module has the same ph ysical dimensions as a DDR DI MM but has a 200-pin footprint

compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a

DDR DIMM socket. The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM sockets

Memory Configurations

You may install 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and up to 2 GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR

SO-DIMMs into the SO-DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

Installing a DIMM

Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing

SO-DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause

severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.

WEBS-1108A User Manual

1. Unlock a SO-DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward

2. Align a SO-DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the SO-DIMM matches the

break on the socket.

3. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place

and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.

z A DDR2 SO-DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one

direction. DO NOT force a SO-DIMM into a socket to avoid

damaging the SO-DIMM.

z The DDR2 SO-DIMM sockets do not support DDR SO-DIMMs. DO

NOT install DDR SO-DIMMs to the DDR2 SO-DIMM socket.

Removing a SO-DIMM

1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the SO-DIMM.

Support the SO-DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the

retaining clips. The SO-DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with

extra force.

2. Remove the SO-DIMM from the socket.

2.4 Installing the Jumpers

2.4.1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS

memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The

onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information

such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10

seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

4. Re-install the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC

jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

You do not need to clear the R TC when the system hangs due to

overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P .R.

(CPU Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so

the BIOS can automatically reset parameter settings to default values.

3.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the provided

utility described in section “2.1 Managing and updating your BIOS.”

Use the BIOS Setup program w hen you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system,

or prompted to “Run Setup”. This section explains how to configure your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of your

computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or change the

power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup

program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM

of the firmware hub.

The firmware hub on the motherboard stores the Setup utility . When you st art up the computer,

the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program.

Press <Del> during the Power-On-Self-T est (POST) to enter the Setup util ity; otherwise, POST

continues with its test routines.

If you wish to ente r Setup af ter POST, rest art t he system by pre ssing <Ctrl+Alt+Delet e>, or by

pressing the reset button on the syst em chassis. You can also rest art by tu rning the system of f

and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program i s designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven

program, it let s you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the

available options using the navigation keys.

z The default BIOS setti ngs for this motherboard apply for most

conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the syste m

becomes unst able af ter changing any BIOS settings, load the

default settings to ensure system comp atibility and st ability.

Select the Load Default Settings item under the Exit Menu.

See section “2.7 Exit Menu.”
