- 12 -
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
Note: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut
edge well, it may damage the CPU.
- 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. Clear CMOS
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 DDR SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert DDR SDRAM memory module(s) in DIMM slot(s).
Note that DDR SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the DIMM
slots unless properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted into the
DIMM slots, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM slot to lock the module in
place.
DDR SDRAM

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 board each device according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD, and
CD-ROM have to set jumpers on Master or Slave mode depending
on your willing to install more than one device for each kind.)
2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable on the back-panel of the internal
peripheral devices to the corresponding headers on board. Note that the
cable should be oriented with its colored stripe (usually in 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 through 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 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 short between the
board and the metal frame of 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 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the
mainboard.

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
partition(s) to occupy all the space available in 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
operating systems mentioned above, you can only decide your
HDD into partitions no larger than 2.1GB each.
4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you're created.
When formatting the primary partition (C:), make sure to use the
FORMAT 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.
- 22 -
Step 13
Install Driver & Software Components
Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x /
2000/ME/NT/XP operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is
already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs.
1. Insert the AS40GT/AS40GTR bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM
drive. The auto-run program will display the drivers main installation
window on screen.
2. Select the "Install Mainboard Software" bar to run into sub-menu.
3. Choose "Install Mainboard Software" and complete it.
4. Choose "Install Audio Device Driver" and complete it.
5. Choose "Install Highpoint RAID Driver" bar to run readme windows if
you need install drivers. (AS40GTR only)
6. Choose "Install RAID Utility" bar to install RAID utility drivers. (AS40GTR
only)
7. Return to the main installation window and exit from the auto-run drivers
installation program.
Note: Please refer to IDE Raid Manual to install IDE RAID
Controller driver when you purchase AS40GTR mainboard.

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper pins to the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner of
each jumper; you just find a location marked with a while right angle, which
stands for pin1#. There are several types of pin 1# shown as below:
3-pin and multi-pin (>3) jumpers show as follows:
Pin #1 to the left:
Pin #1 on the top:
Pin #1 to the right:
Pin #1 on the bottom:
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
components. When putting the mainboard down, place it on the top of
its original packaging film and on an even surface, and components side
up.

A traditional ATX system should remain at power off stage when AC power
resumes from power failure. In such case, if there is no an UPS to keep
power-on, the kind of design is inconvenient for a network server or workstation.
However, this motherboard implements an AC Power Auto Recovery
function to solve this problem. You may enable the function Power State Resume
Control that is under sub-menu of Power Mangement Setup through BIOS
setup program.
Note 1: The ATX power connector is directional and will not go in unless the guides
match perfectly making sure that pin#1 is properly positioned.
Note 2: Make sure the latch of the ATX power connector clicks into place to ensure a
solid attachment.
Note 3: Your ATX power supply must be supplied to ACPI +5V standby power and
at least 720mA compatible.
