3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This section outlines how to install and configure your AE14 mainboard. Refer to the
following mainboard layout to help you identify various jumpers, connectors, slots, and
ports. Then follow these steps designed to guide you through a quick and correct installation of your system.
3.1 Step-by-Step Installation
AE14 Mainboard with 5 PCI Slots and 2 ISA Slots
- 11 -
AE14 Mainboard with 6 PCI Slots
- 12 -
Step 1
Install the CPU:
1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right
sector of your mainboard (between the back-panel connectors and the
DIMM memory banks).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket to
unlock the lever, then bring it to an upward vertical position.
3. Place your PGA 370 Celeron processor in the ZIF socket. Note that the
CPU’s edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrical to prevent
from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The following dia
gram demonstrates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF socket.
You can see that the two blunt-edged corners should face to wards the
socket-lever.
4. Slightly push the CPU into the socket without applying excessive force
while making sure there is no gap between CPU and socket. Then
lower the socket-lever all the way down to its horizontal position and
lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5. The PGA 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper cooling
of the processor. If not already mounted on your CPU, you must pur chase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable
from the heatsink/fan to the CPU fan power connector located at the
immediate right of the ZIF socket. Note that there are several types of
CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hardware
monitoring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow your
system to detect the CPU fan’s speed . The CPU fan can also run with a
2-pin fan power connector, however, detection of CPU fan’s speed is not
supported. Another type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power
connector, which does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must
connect directly to the system’s power supply unit. Please refer to the
following diagram.
- 13 -
Step 2.
Set Jumpers
This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have been set for
the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need
to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as in any of the
following cases:
1. Over-clock your CPU
2. Disable the onboard audio before installing an add-on sound card
3. Clear CMOS
4. Clear system password
5. Set the wake up function by keyboard/PS2 mouse
For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change
the default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with mainboard
configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for
optimum system performance. For the advanced users who wish to customize their system, section 3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed information on how to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3
Install SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert SDRAM memory module(s) in any one or two
DIMM banks. Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in
the DIMM slots unless properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted
into the DIMM socket, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM bank to lock
the module in place.
- 14 -
Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we
recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into
the computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE/
HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply
unit. This will greatly facilitate in making the connections to the mainboard
described below.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow this procedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions
provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD and CD-ROM,
have to set jumpers to Master or Slave mode depending on whether you
install more than one device of each kind.)
2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable on the back-panel of the internal
peripheral devices. Note that the cable should be oriented with its
colored stripe (usually red or magenta) connected to pin#1 both on the
mainboard IDE or FDD connector and on the device as well.
3. Connect an available power cable from your system power supply unit to
the back-panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power cable is
directional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.
- 15 -
Step 5
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions
both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose a
correct mounting hole, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the
mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs between
the frame of the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix the
mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the system chassis
and the mainboard, in order to avoid any electrical shorts be tween the
board and the metal frame of the chassis. (If your computer case is
already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten screws to
attach the mainboard.)
Note: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more
attachment points to install mounting studs and fix the mainboard.
If there aren’t enough matching holes, then make sure to install at
least 3 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the
mainboard.
- 16 -
Step 6
Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker
You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system
case and originating from the computer’s front-panel devices (HDD LED,
Power LED, Reset Switch, PC Speaker, etc.) These cables serve to connect
the front-panel switches and LEDs to the mainboard’s front-panel connectors
group (J20), as shown below.
1. ATX Soft Power On/Off
2. Power-LED
3. HDD-LED

Step 12
First Time System Boot Up
To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you
may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your
system for the first time.
1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or
others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.
2. Turn on the system power.
3. First, you must use the FDISK utility to create a primary partition of the
hard disk. You can also add an extended partition if your primary partition does not use all of the available hard disk space. If you choose to
add an extended partition, you will have to create one or more logical
partitions to occupy all the space available to the extended partition. The
FDISK utility will assign a drive letter (i.e., C:, D:, E:,...) to each partition
which will be shown in the FDISK program. After FDISK procedure,
reboot your system by using the same system floppy disk.
Note: DOS 6.2x and Windows 95A can only support up to 2.1GB of
HDD partition. If you use the FDISK utility with one of the operat
ing systems mentioned above, you can only devide your HDD into
partitions no larger than 2.1GB each.
4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you’ve created.
When formatting the primary partition (C:), make sure to use the FOR
MAT C: /S command.
Note: FORMAT C: /S can transfer all the necessary system files into the
primary partition of your hard disk. Then, your HDD will become
a bootable drive.
5. Install all the necessary drivers for CD-ROM, Mouse, etc.
6. Setup the complete operating system according to your OS installation
guide.
- 24 -
Step 13
Install Drivers & Software Components
Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x
operating systems only. Make sure your Windows 9x operating system is
already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs.
1. Insert the AE14 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The
auto- run program will display the drivers main installation window on
screen.
2. Select the select the Video related program.
3. Install the video driver.
4. Return to the main installation window and select the Audio related
program.
5. Install the AD1881 driver.
6. Return to the main installation window and select the Select the
Mainboard related program.
7. Install the INF driver for Win9x.
8. Install the System Manager for Win9x.
- 25 -
3.2 Jumper Settings
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to
connect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1 is located on the top or on
the left when holding the mainboard with the keyboard connector or other
back-panel connectors opposite from you, as shown below.
3-pin and multi (>3) pin jumpers show as follows:
Pin #1 on the left:
Pin #1 on the top:
Jumpers with two pins are shown as for Close [On] or for
Open [Off]. To Short jumper pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over
the desired pair of pins.
Caution!
1. Do not remove the mainboard from its antistatic protective packaging
until you are ready to install it.
2. Carefully hold the mainboard by its edges and avoid touching its compo
nents. When putting the mainboard down, place it on top of its original
packaging film, on an even surface, and components side up.
3. Wear an antistatic wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) whenever handling this equipment.

CPU Host Frequency Setting (J8)
The default CPU host frequency setting is 66MHz. It is defined according to
Intel Celeron CPU specification. We strongly advise novice users not to
modify the original setting of the CPU host frequency, for setting an incorrect value may damage your CPU.
For experienced users, the AE14 mainboard provides an alternative HardConfigure function to adjust your CPU host frequency manually.
Note: Before you adjust your CPU host frequency by jumper, you need to
set CPU Host/PCI Clock to default in frequency/voltage control of
BIOS setup program.
(Default)
Insert mini-jumper caps properly on J8 to reach desired CPU Host
Frequency, as shown in the following table.
J8- (1 , 2 ) J8- (3 , 4 ) J8- (5 , 6) J8-(7, 8) MHz Power On Default
OFF OFF OFF OFF 66MHz
ON OFF OFF OFF 70MHz
ON ON ON ON 75MHz
ON ON ON OFF 83MHz
66MHz
Note: 75, 83 MHz are for over-clock usageonly. However, over-
clocking is not a recommended practice.

3
Core CPU Voltage Setting (J24 )
The CPU voltage setting is jumperless. This means that your AE14
mainboard can detect the CPU core voltage automatically; therefore, you
do not need to configure any voltage jumper.
But, AE14 provide an extra 3pin jumper to increase CPU core voltage for
overspeed usage.
Default
Pin 1-2
(CPU core voltage increase 2%)
Pin 2-3
(CPU core voltage increase 5%)
4
ICH Voltage Setting ( J25)
This jumper allows you to select the voltage supplied to the Intel 82801
(ICH). The default voltage should be used unless some IDE devices need
more voltage supplied.
Pin 1-2 (3.3V) default
Pin 2-3 (3.9V)
- 32 -
5
AMR Slot Setting (J9)
The slot supports a specially designed audio and/or modem card called an
AMR. Main processing is done through software and controlled by the
motherboard's Intel Controller Hub (ICH). There are two types of AMR, one
defined as primary and another defined as secondary. This motherboard
uses the primary channel so that a secondary AMR can coexist. The
onboard CODEC must be disabled when using a primary AMR.
NOTE: If the user need to disabled onboard CODEC, please enter the BIOS
setup program Integrated Peripherals groups, to disabled the AC97
Audio item.
NOTE: An AMR is not included with this motherboard.
Pin 1-2

Over-Clocking the CPU (J10A & J26 For Reference Only)
Warning : Over-clocking is not a recommended practice for it may
damage both the mainboard and the processor.
AE14 mainboard provides a special jumper J10A to over-clock your 66MHzbased Celeron processor up to 100MHz and J26 to over-clock your
100MHz-based Celeron processor up to 133MHz when CPU configuration
performed by hard-configure.
J10A J26
Close (default)
Open (over-clock to 100MHz)
Close (default)
Open (over-clock to 133MHz)
- 33 -
When you set J10/J26 for 100/133MHz over-clocking, you also "must" set
J8 according to the following table.
J8- (1 , 2 ) J8- (3 , 4 ) J8- (5 , 6 ) J 8 -(7, 8) MHz Power On Defa u lt
ON ON OFF ON 90MHz
ON ON OFF OFF 95MHz
OFF OFF ON OFF 100MHz
OFF OFF OFF ON 105MHz
ON OFF OFF ON 114MHz
OFF ON ON OFF 124MHz
OFF ON OFF ON 133MHz
BIOS SETTING ONLY 140MHz
BIOS SETTING ONLY 150MHz
100MHz
133MHz
Normally, CPU host clocks of 100 ~ 133MHz are not accessible to 66MHz
based processors whether CPU configuration is performed by Soft-Configure
or by Hard-Configure method.
However, when J10A and J8 is set as the table, the user can Hard-Configure
the CPU host clock to over-clock the 66MHz-based processor from 66MHz
up to 100MHz. This way, a standard 300MHz (66MHz × 4.5) Celeron
processor can be over-clocked to 450MHz (100MHz × 4.5) or higher, as an
example.
When J26 is set to open, the user can Hard-Configure the CPU host clock to
over-clock the 100MHz-based processor from 100MHz up to 133MHz.
Please keep in mind that, although over clocking is technically feasible with
this mainboard, however, it is not a recommended practice for this may
cause severe damage to the system.

Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external
cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional
ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should
never need to be altered.
The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best
operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was
being lost while using your system.
DRAM Settings
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random
access memory (DRAM).
The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be
altered if data is being lost.
Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed
DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

in the system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete
and the DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance;
and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only
when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
