Before removing or installing any of these devices including CPU, DIMMs, Add-On Cards, Cables, please make sure to unplug the onboard power connector.

This section outlines how to install and configure your mainboard. Refer to the following mainboard layout to help you to 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

Accessories Of AV45GT/AV45GTR

- 11 -

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

- 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 any of the following cases:

1. Clear CMOS

2. BIOS Write Protection

3. Enable/Disable IDE RAID

For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change the default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with the 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 any one or two or three DIMM banks. Note that DDR SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the DIMM banks if they are not properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted into the DIMM bank, 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 to the corresponding headers on board. 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 correct mounting holes, 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 then 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 parti-

tion 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 install 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 FORM-

AT 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 Drivers & 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 AV45GT/AV45GTR 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 VIA Driver" and complete it.

4. Choose "Install CMedia Driver" and complete it.
