Step 3.
Set Jumpers
The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard
of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need to reset jumpers unless you
require special adjustments as any of following cases:
1. Clear CMOS
2. Make BIOS write protected
For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you should 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 the
detailed information on how to configure your mainboard manually.
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 connection 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, must
have 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 to the back panel of the internal
peripheral devices. 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.
17
Step 5
Mount the Mainboard o n 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 the proper mounting holes, position the studs betw een
the frame of chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix the
mainboard and to keep a cer tain 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.
18
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 fr ont panel switches and LEDs to the mainboard’s front panel connectors group, as shown below :

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, Window s 95/98/NT, or
others) w hich contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.
2. Tur n 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 in the ex-
tended 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 install your
HDD into partitions no larger than 2.1GB each.
4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you’ve cr e-
ated. 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 dr ivers for CD-ROM, Mouse, etc.
6. Set up the complete operating system according to your OS installation
guide.
24
Step 12
Install Drivers & Software Components
Please note that all the system utilities and drivers ar e designed for Win 9x/
2000/ME/NT operating systems only. Make sur e your operating system is
already installed before running the driver installation CD-ROM programs.
1. Insert the AT30 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The
auto-run pr ogram will display the driver main installation window
on screen .
2. Choose " Install VGA Device Software" and complete the installation.
3. Return to the SHUTTLE MAINBOARD DRIVERS & UTILITIES scr een.
4. Choose "Install Audio Device Driver" and complete the
installation.
5. Return to the main installation window and exit from the auto-run
drivers installation program.
25
3.2 Jumper Settings
