Installation Instructions

This section covers External Connectors and Jumper Settings. Refer to the motherboard
layout chart for the locations of all jumpers, external connectors, slots and I/O ports.
Furthermore, this section lists all necessary connector pin assignments for your reference.
The particular states of the jumpers, connectors and ports are illustrated in the following
figures. Before setting the jumpers or inserting these connectors, please pay attention to
the directions.

Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing expansion
cards or other system peripherals, otherwise your motherboard and expansion
cards might be seriously damaged.

External Connectors

PS/2 Keyboard Connector, PS/2 Mouse Connector

PS/2 keyboard connector is for the usage of PS/2 keyboard. If using a standard AT size
keyboard, an adapter should be used to fit this connector. PS/2 mouse connector is for the
usage of PS/2 mouse.

USB1, USB2 Connectors

Two USB ports are for connecting USB devices.

USB3, USB4 and USB5, USB6 Connectors

Four USB ports are not available on the back panel. Therefore, we provide a 10-pin cable(
optional ) to connect onboard USB headers and USB devices.

Be sure to connect the power supply plug to this connector in its proper orientation. The
power switch ( POWER SW ) should be connected to a momentary switch (power button).
When powering up your system, first turn on the mechanical switch of the power supply (
if one is provided ), then push once the power button. When powering off the system, you
needn’t turn off the mechanical switch, just

Push once

*

the power button.

Note: * If you change “soft-off by PWRBTN” from default “Instant-off” to “Delay 4

Fan Connectors ( CPUF AN, CHSF AN, BAKF AN )

The fan speeds of CPUF AN and CHSFAN can be detected and viewed in “PC Health” section
of the BIOS. They will be automatically turned off after the system enters suspend mode.

Infrared Header ( IrDA )

This connector supports Infrared transmitting and receiving. If using this function, set
“UART Mode Select” to IrDA or ASKIR and configure the settings in the “INTEGRATED
PERIPHERALS” section of the BIOS.

Wake-Up On LAN ( WOL )

Through the Wake-Up On LAN function, a wake event occurring from the network can
wake up the system. If this function is to be used, please be sure an A TX 2.01 power supply
of which 5VSB line is capable of delivering 720mA, and a LAN adapter which supports this
function is used. Then connect this header to the relevant connector on the LAN adapter,
set “Wake up on LAN/Ring” as Enabled in the “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP” section of
the BIOS. Save & exit, then boot the operating system once to make sure this function takes
effect.

Wake-Up On Internal Modem ( WOM )

Through the Wake-Up On Internal Modem function, the system which is in the suspend or
soft-off status can be waked up by a ring signal received from internal modem. If this
function is to be used, be sure an internal modem card which supports the function is used.
Then connect this header to the relevant connector on the modem card, set “Wake up on
LAN/Ring ” as Enabled in the “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP” section of the BIOS. Save &
exit, then boot the operating system once to make sure this function takes effect.

Internal Audio Connectors ( AUX, CD_IN, MODEM )
( Available on KuDoz 7-A/-C )

AUX and CD_IN connectors allow you to receive audio input from such sound sources as
a CDROM, TV tuner, or MPEG card. The MODEM connector allows the onboard audio to
interface with a voice modem card with a similar connector. It allows connecting the mono_in
(such as a phone) or mono_out (such as a speaker) between the onboard audio and the

Advanced Communications Riser Slot ( ACR )

The ACR connector uses a standard connector that is reversed and offset. Legacy AMR card
can be plugged into the ACR slot and works without modification. ACR provides a common
architecture for analog modem, Ethernet, phoneline networking and so on. It supports legacy
AMR riser designs for modem and audio codecs.

Note:
For the KuDoz 7, the AMR card should be set as AMR Primary card to use only.
For the KuDoz 7-A, to avoid conflict, you should set the AMR card as Slave when
use onboard audio codec( AC97 Codec ) or set the AMR card as Primary and
jumpers JP1, JP2, JP3 as disabling onboard audio codec( AC97 Codec ) when use
the audio codec on the AMR card.
For the KuDoz 7-C, the PCI1 slot can only use Slave card, and the AMR card should

be set as AMR Primary card to use only.

Smart Card Reader Connector( SCR )

The SCR interface connector is the interface between the motherboard and the Smart Card.
The SCR is built in IT8705F I/O chip and includes a standard UART to control Smart Card
interface handshaking and then performs data transfers. The SCR can be used for a broad
range of applications in GSM, ID, pay TV, banking and so forth. It also provides a Smart Card
clock divider for those ICC ( Integrated Circuit Card ) without internal clocks. If use this
function, set “UART Mode Select” to SCR in the “INTEGRA TED PERIPHERALS” section of the
BIOS and jumpers J5, J6 as SCR enabled.

Jumper Settings

Jumpers are located on the motherboard, they represent, clear CMOS jumper JCC, enable
BIOS ProtectEasy function jumper JAV etc. Pin 1 of all jumpers are located on the side with
a thick white line ( Pin1→ ), refer to the motherboard’s silkscreen. Jumpers with
three pins will be shown as to represent pin1 & pin2 connected and to
represent pin2 & pin3 connected.

Overclocking Jumper Setting ( JFSB )

The jumper JFSB located on the mainboard provides users with CPU overclocking feature. The
host bus speed can be set as 100/133MHz. The table below for your reference.

AMD Athlon CPU FSB is 100MHz/133MHz, but delivering twice the throughput of 100MHz/
133MHz Pentium III-based systems( Ultra -Fast 200MHz/266MHz ). However, whether or not
your system can be overclocked depends on your processor’s capability. We do not guaran­tee the overclocking system to be stable.

Warning: Be sure your selection is right. CPU over speed will be dangerous! We
will not be responsible for any damages caused.

CPU Bus Ratio Setting ( J1, J3 )

The Host Bus speed by the CPU bus ratio equals the CPU’s internal frequency (CPU speed)

If Host Bus speed = 100MHz, CPU bus ratio =4
then CPU speed= 100MHz x 4= 400MHz

please set CPU bus ratio according to the following table.

Note: The most of Socket-A processors have bus ratio locked. In this case, it’s
not necessary to set the bus ratio by jumper setting. So only unlocked Socket- A
processors can adjust specified bus ratio through hardware jumper setting.

Warning: Be sure your selection is right. CPU over speed will be dangerous! We
will not be responsible for any damages caused.

BIOS-ProtectEasy Jumper ( JAV )

The BIOS of the motherboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. If the jumper JAV is set

as closed, you will be unable to flash the BIOS to the motherboard. However in this status,
the system BIOS is protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus.

Under special conditions, the jumper “JAV” should be set as OPEN. For further details, refer

to the “BootEasy” part of appendix.

Setting the jumper JAV as open(default), meanwhile disabling the “Flash Write Protect” item

from “Advanced BIOS Features ” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the
BIOS to the Flash ROM.

The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) system information such as the CPU type/speed,

memory size, and expansion cards will be detected by the onboard BIOS and stored in the
flash ROM. Whenever the system hardware configuration is changed, DMI information will
be updated automatically. However , setting jumper JA V as closed makes flashing BIOS and
updating DMI information impossible. Therefore, set JAV as open when changing the sys­tem hardware configuration, or the error message “Unknown Flash Type” will be displayed
on the screen, and DMI information update will be fail.

Clear CMOS ( JCC )

If you want to clear CMOS, unplug the AC power supply first, close JCC ( pin1 & pin2 ) once,
set JCC back to the normal status with pin2 & pin3 connected, then power on the system.
