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 FC-PGA or PPGA370 processor in the ZIF socket. Note thatthe 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 towards the socket-lever.

Coppermine FC-PGA CPU
Blank Blank Notch
Lever
Notch
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 FC-PGA or PPGA 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper cooling of the processor. If they are not already mounted on your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable from the heatsink/fan to the CPU fan power connector located nearby. 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.
- 11 -
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 cases below :
1. Over-clock your CPU
2. Clear CMOS
3. Set the wake up function by PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 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, two or three DIMM banks. Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the DIMM slots unless they are 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.
- 12 -
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.
- 13 -
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 between 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.
- 14 -
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, 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 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 operating systems mentioned above, you can only device 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 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.
- 20 -
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 AV14 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The auto-run program will display the drivers main installation window on screen.
2. Select the Mainboard related program.
3. Install AV14 Driver for Win9x/Win NT.
- 21 -
3.2 Jumper Settings
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to con­nect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner of each jumper, you just find a white right angle on the mainboard, that's pin 1#. There are several types of pin 1# shown as below:
3-pin and multi (>3) pin jumpers shown as following: Pin #1 on the left:
Pin #1 on the top:
Pin #1 on 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 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.
