How to install the CPU
Prepare the motherboard by installing the supplied Slot 1 CPU, then
install the CPU according to the instructions supplied. Complete the
processor installation by installing the supplied heat-sink support, and
connecting the heat sink power cable to the motherboard connector.
Referential Steps of installing the Slot 1 CPU
This part is only for CPU installation. Regarding to the heat-sink part, please
refer the instructions supplied.
15
Page 17
B687
1. Inspect the area around Slot1, verify the position of four aroundsockets, and then locate the small protruding rectangular tab on the side
of Slot1 (see diagram).
2. Examine the CPU Retention and attachments. There are three sets of
attachments: 1. The stand itself. 2. The CPU locking caps (two). 3.
The plastic screws (four).
3. Once the above two steps have been completed, slot the CPU Retention
into Slot1. Pull up the CPU stays on both side of the CPU Retention so
they are horizontal, at an angle of 90°. Then the side of the CPU
Retention with no mark on it and the side of Slot1 with the small
rectangular tab should be on the same side.
16
Page 18
B687
y
t
y
! The CPU Retention has
to go in a particular direction.
Make sure that it is the right wa
round before slotting it in. Do no
force it in, otherwise you ma
damage the motherboard and
CPU Retention.
4. Ensure that the CPU Retention has been slotted all the way in, then
screw the four plastic screws into the sockets on each side of Slot1 to
make sure that the CPU Retention is fixed firmly in position.
5. Slide the CPU slowly into Slot1 along the two sides of the CPU
Retention.
17
Page 19
B687
Note: Some Slot 1 processors with different packing maybe need the caps to
let them be fixed. So if it need the caps during installing Slot 1 CPU,
please follow this step: “ Fix the CPU locking caps onto the two
ends of the CPU stays ”.
6. Connect the CPU Fan head to the CPU Fan connector on the
motherboard, and make sure that the CPU has been fixed firmly onto
the motherboard. You have now completed assembly.
SLOT 1 CPU Disassembly/Replacement Procedures
1. Move the protruding part on top of the CPU locking caps gently
outwards, so that the locking caps come off.
18
Page 20
B687
2. Pull the CPU Fan connector off the motherboard, and then gently pull
the CPU out from Slot1.
3. If you need to install another CPU, follow the instructions for Slot1
CPU installation given above.
CPU & Power Supply Fan Connectors (3-pin FanPWR)
These connector support cooling fans of 500mAMP (6WATT) or less. Orientate the fans so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard
heat sink(s) instead of expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer,
the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while
the black should be ground. Connect the fan’ s plug to the board taking into
consideration the polarity of this connector.
The “Rotation” signal is to be used only by a specially designed fan with
rotation signal.
!
The CPU and motherboard will overheat if there is no airflow
across the CPU and onboard heatsinks. Damage may occur to the
motherboard and the CPU fan if these pins are incorrectly used.
MEMORY INSTALLATION
No jumper setting is necessary for DRAM setting; BIOS will check
DRAM type and size automatically. This motherboard contains 2 by 168-pin
19
Page 21
B687
DIMM socket (DIMM1, DIMM2). The motherboard has a table-free (or
auto-bank) feature; the user can install DIMM into any bank. The two DIMM
Sockets permit system memory expansion from 8MB to 256MB. Each bank
provides a 64-bit wide data path. You can install 100MHz SPD RAM or
66MHz SD RAM into the motherboard, using your CPU clock to make the
selection.
If you want to install more memory and there are no sockets available,
you must remove some installed modules and replace them with the upgrade
modules.
If you have to do this, be sure to identify what type of memory is already
installed. In some cases, there may be a mix of module types. You can
confirm this by checking the configuration screen that appears while the
computer is starting up. Press the pause key to temporarily interrupt the startup so that you have more time to read the screen. When you’ re done, press
any key to resume.
Remove the lowest performance and smallest size modules and replace
them with the upgrades.

How to Install DIMM Modules on Motherboard
1. The SDRAM sockets are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed
with cut-outs so that they cannot be installed incorrectly. Check that the
cut-outs on the DIMM edge connector match the notches in the SDRAM
socket. In other words, before inserting the DIMM, make sure the pin1 of
the DIMM matches with the pin1 on the DIMM socket.

2. Push down the latches on each side of the SDRAM socket.
3. Install the DIMM into the socket and press it carefully but firmly down so
that it seats correctly. The latches at either side of the socket will be
levered upwards and latch on the edges of the DIMM when it is installed
correctly.
How to Remove DIMM Modules from Motherboard
1. Press the holding the latches at either side of the socket outward to release
the DIMM.
2. Gently pull the DIMM out of the socket.

You should leave this item at the default Auto. If you find that you cannot get
a particular expansion card to work properly, you might be able to solve the
problem by changing this item to Manual, and defining the characteristics of
the card in the new items which appear.
If you change this item to Manual, the display will list a series of items that
allow you to define the assignments of the system interrupt lines (IRQS) and
Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels. As a default, these items are set to
PCI/ISA PnP. If you install an ISA Bus card that does not support PNP, and it

Secondary IDE INT#
This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in
use. By default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA device rather
than a PCI controller. The most apparent difference is the type of slot being
used. If you have equipped your INT# system with a PCI controller, changing
this allows you to specify which slot holds the controller and which PCI
interrupt (A,B,C,D) is associated with the connected hard disk. This setting
refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual partitions. Since
each IDE controller supports two separate hard drives, you can select the
INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a lower interrupt
than the secondary as described in " lot x Using INT# “above. Select “PCI
Auto” allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk
system is configured.
Used MEM base addr
This item allows you to determine which basic address will not be occupied by PCI
card and leave these address for some special ISA card used only.
