Step 1

CPU Installation:

This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4 , Socket 478 series CPU. Please
follow the step as below to finish CPU installation.

Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.

CPU socket lever up to
90 degree

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the CPU
upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into the
socket.

CPU pin 1 and cut edge

- 13 -

3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.

Note:

4. The Intel Pentium 4 /Celeron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to en
sure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been already
bundled with your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately and
have it installed. Plug the cable through the heatsink/fan in the CPU fan
power connector located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU
fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hard ware moni
toring 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 be directly
connected to the system's power supply unit.

If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut
edge well, it may damage the CPU.

- 14 -

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

2.BIOS Boot block protection

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

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.

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.

- 16 -

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 6

Connect Front-Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB connectors

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, or USB devices etc.) These cables
serve to connect the front-panel switches, LEDs, and USB connectors to the
mainboard's front-panel connectors group (FP1, SPK1, and USB1), as shown
below.

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

- 22 -

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:

4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you're created.

Note:

5. Install all the necessary drivers for CD-ROM, Mouse, etc.

6. Setup the complete operating system according to your OS installation

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.

When formatting the primary partition (C:), make sure to use the
FORMAT C: /S command.

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.

guide.

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 AS45GT/AS45GTR bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM

drive. The auto-run program will display the drivers main installation
window on screen.

2. Choose "Install SiS Chipset Driver" and complete it.

3. Choose "Install Audio Device Driver" and complete it.

3.2 Jumper Settings

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.

3. Wear an antistatic wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) whenever handling this equipment.
